Hearing His Angry Critics, Joe Biden Announces That He Will Not Seek Presidency in 2016

Call Anne VERY Disappointed With Joe Biden's Mouth On Tuesday, October 20, 2015

Posted by HIllaryWomenNews minutes before US Vice President Joe Biden announced that he will not run for President in 2016.

Dear Joe. I'm collecting my thoughts on what to say to you, but Anita, Gloria and Hillary are on my mind right now. You said yesterday how much you like Dick Cheney and the Republicans. I want you to know how absolutely NERVOUS and DISTRUSTFUL you are making me feel about you.
There's nothing worse for women than a bunch of Bible-toting men in any party, and you admit, Joe -- in your heart -- that you accept the Biblical version of events. You said it three weeks ago when the media-celebrity Pope Francis was rocking the East Coast. One Supreme Court Justice is enough for you, Joe Biden! And don't kid yourself, Sir. We have just begun to fight! If you run, this battle becomes epic and deeply personal, in a way it isn't with Bernie Sanders! (We will) Never Forget! ~ Anne Enke

Clearly HIllaryMen had a similar response. Many of us have been very frustrated with Joe Biden's increasingly apparent need to keep the entire Democratic party on pins and needles while he pondered his decision about running. In this particularly good week for Hillary, Joe Biden was increasingly becoming a spoiler in waiting. The Vice President pushed my buttons when he suggested that people like me were bullying him . . . and he would not be bullied. For those of us who have exhibited enormous patience and respect for Joe, his accusations were a bit much.

And then yesterday, all hell began to break lose, as Joe Biden leveled one aggressive comment after another against HIllary Clinton, while simultaneously telling the nation how much he personally likes Dick Cheney and Republicans.  

I got up this morning deciding to take the gloves off, and admittedly Gloria Steinem got me going with her new book. As always HillaryMen was already in the groove. 

Tempted By Power, Joe Biden Takes A Reckless, Legacy-Wrecking Swipe at HIllary HIllaryMen

The gloves are off.
Out of respect for Vice President Biden and following Hillary Clinton's example, we have refrained from criticizing his extended (and destabilizing) decision-making process. But with Biden taking a cheap, dangerous and unwarranted shot at Hillary, our self-imposed constraint is over.
Here’s what Biden said, per NY Mag:
Either Joe Biden is gearing up for his entry into the 2016 race, or he just thinks Hillary Clinton needs to be taken down a peg. The vice president never mentioned the Democratic front-runner by name, but at an event honoring former Vice President Walter Mondale on Tuesday evening, he took aim at Clinton's boast during last week's debate that she's proud to count the Republicans among her enemies. "It is necessary to end this notion that the enemy is the other party, end this notion that it’s naive to think we can speak well of the other party and cooperate," Biden said. 
Biden also challenged Clinton's oblique suggestion during the debate that she's running for a third Obama term. He claimed that for the past seven years, he's spent five to seven hours a day with the president. "I attend every meeting the president has — at his request," Biden said, adding that they are "simpatico" on every major issue. 
And what about the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, that one very notable occasion when Biden and Obama weren't in sync? Well, Biden spent the day revising that story, so now he was completely behind the decision to send in special forces.  
Calling a popular, powerful, accomplished woman “naive” has troubling overtones. Saying it about the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination is exceptionally reckless. Especially with Donald Trump on track to become the Republican nominee. Not to mention the folly of pretending to play nice with Republicans with the aim of making Hillary look unreasonable and uncooperative. Biden knows very well which Republicans Hillary was referring to when she made her tongue-in-cheek remark at the debate, so his swipe is disingenuous.

Media Continues To Promote Biden Entry In 2016 Campaign While #HillaryMen Says 'Too Late, Joe: She Survived'

Joe Biden’s 2016 Moment Is Gone, Hillary Has Withstood the Summer Assault #HillaryMen

In politics, as in life, timing is everything.
For a moment this summer, the gatekeepers of our national conversation believed they had achieved their singular mission: to derail Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
In the midst of that fierce summertime attack, some Democrats lost their nerve and succumbed to the seductive sirens of the anti-Hillary commentariat who floated a series of male saviors for the Democratic Party, shining knights who could salvage them from the supposed “dream-turned-nightmare” of the first woman president.
As we approached that nadir, according to the pundits, our Vice President would step in and save the day, rescuing America from the “weak woman.”
Here’s the problem for Joe Biden, a good and decent man whom we admire and respect tremendously: that moment has passed.
Hillary has survived one of the fiercest assaults ever launched against a political leader.

Clinton On the Move

Clinton’s Lead Over Sanders GrowsCNN

Morning Joe practically accused the polls of being wrong just now. Trust us, we don’t hang on them either at this point. Mitt Romney went into the 2012 election ahead in the polls. But at least it may shut up the media for a day or two.

A new CNN poll puts Hillary ahead by 18 points, with Clinton being backed by 42% of Democratic primary voters; Sanders by 25% and Biden by 22%. This result has forward motion for Clinton, who was at 37%, Sanders at 27% and Biden at 20% in the same poll a month ago.

Candidate Clinton is in Louisiana this morning, where going nowhere Republican 2016 presidential candidate Gov. Bobby Jindal has challenged her to a health care debate, reports TIME.

137 Billionaires Join Giving Pledge

2016 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders demonizes billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah and Warren Buffett and demands that we throw the deadbeats out of America if necessary.

In July 2015 the Vermont Senator said in front of a large crowd in Dallas: ‘Your Greed is Destroying America, and We Are Going to End Your Greed’, writes D Magazine.

Without condoning billionaires and how each made his or her money,GlobalCitizen.org reminds us that137 bilionaires have pledged to use their money for good. The campaign was announced in 2010 by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, with 85% of the billionaires living in the US, if not born here.
