Joe Biden President Quotations

Now I hope our French and German and other allies step up to the ball and are as magnanimous in acknowledging what we have to do now as the president was.

George Bush is our president. We have one president at at time. He is the president, and no one is running against George Bush,

You cannot give the vice president the authority to declassify specific information and then turn around and say he can just give carte blanche to an assistant of his to declassify whatever he wants.

As my family and I have worked through the grieving process, I've said all along ... that it may very well be that that process, by the time we get through, it, closes the window on mounting a realistic campaign for president that it might close.

I didn't deserve to be president just based on the Richter scale of 'Was I tough enough and did I understand the process?'

I always kid the president in different circumstances. Mr. President, a country's never going to be more optimistic than the president.

I travel a lot on foreign policy, as you know. I'm in Europe a lot. I travelled over a million miles as vice president. They didn't do stimulus. Look where they are. Come on. I mean, this is like, I just get so frustrated. Like come on.

President Clinton bankrupted Chrysler so that Italians could buy it to ship jobs overseas to China.

And I think Hillary Clinton is able to be elected president of the United States.

Should we have border security there? Yes. But the idea of the United States erecting a wall for the world to see makes a lie of everything we say about ourselves. It's a little bit like why the President [Barack Obama] and I feel so strongly about closing Guantanamo. It is inconsistent with who we are.

Remember, no one decides who they're going to vote for based on the vice president. I mean that literally.

Except for the title 'father,' there is no title, including 'vice president,' that I am more proud to wear than that of United States senator.

One of my roles as vice president is to - is to be an interlocutor with the Senate and the House because everybody up there knows I respect them and I enjoy it. And I have a lot of good friends on both sides of the aisle up there.

You never say to a president for certain you wouldn't do anything, but I have no - look at me now - I have no desire to sit on the Supreme Court, none. It would be a great honor , but I have no desire, any more than George Mitchell did.

I remember George Mitchell - I was doing the Clarence Thomas hearing, and there were 48 senators declared they were not prepared to vote for him at the front end. We could have filibustered that and stopped it. George and I - George was the leader at the time - took the heat from every liberal group saying, "No, no, that's not the way the system is supposed to work, since the Constitution - the president shall propose and the Constitution shall dispose, we're going to let them hear this."

The point being we used to have a system that wasn't as rigged in how the tax structure functioned. The president [Barack Obama] and I have been trying to get rid of some of these loopholes for some time. Look, we have to change the corporate culture.

It's easy being vice president - you don't have to do anything.

You're president, if you conclude my judgment is not the right judgment, I abide by that, but I want an opportunity to have an input.

There's never been A day in the last four years I've been proud to be his Vice President. Not a single day.

A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!

Folks, I can tell you I've known eight presidents, three of them intimately.

The president has a big stick.

Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be Vice President of the United States of America. Let's get that straight. She's a truly close personal friend. She is qualified to be President of the United States of America. She's easily qualified to be Vice President of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But she's first rate.

My mother believed and my father believed that if I wanted to be president of the United States, I could be, I could be Vice President!
