Mr. Biden became the first vice president to resign from office since Spiro Agnew.
Read this interesting article from Saturday's New York Post. It makes one wonder
A LOOK BACK AT HIS PRESIDENCY
-Americans also don't like it when White House press secretary Keith Olbermann tells them that complaining about higher taxes is "racist."
-Even more shocking, President Obama lost the nomination of his own party to none other than Hillary Clinton. How did we get here?
-The last straw was Biden's complaint, emphatically offered at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, that he would have more influence over foreign policy if he were black. His staff's effort to dismiss the incident as a joke - at the normally comedic event - fell short largely because Biden shouted "I am not joking!" two dozens times in speech that lasted less than 10 minutes. The fact that Biden had not been invited to speak at the dinner in the first place only added to the controversy.
-A general consensus among political observers is that Obama's essential problem was that he was oversold and too naive and arrogant to realize he wasn't as his most devoted fans believed. A senior Democrat on Capitol Hill marveled: "In 2008, this guy promised to send everyone to college, vastly increase foreign aid, create a 'civilian national security force' that was just a well-funded as the U.S. military, his wife said he'd fix our 'broken souls,' and he said he'd make the oceans stop rising, all without increasing the deficit. The amazing thing is he thought it was all true. He makes Jimmy Carter look like he should be on Mt. Rushmore."

Are you suggesting that Biden will resign due to dissillusionment with the Obama administration? because, if that's your contention, the allusion to Spiro Agnew is misguided. Nixonian fan that you are, you surely know that Spiro T. Agnew resigned because he was about to be indicted for bribes he took from highway construction companies while governor of Maryland.
