Washington - In the wake of widespread criticism about Vice President Biden’s “chains†comment — and calls from Republicans such as Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Sarah Palin for President Obama to replace him on the ticket — the President last night personally tweeted support for his Number Two.
“Today marks four years since I chose @JoeBiden to be my running mate,†ABC news quoted him as tweeting.
“Here’s to an outstanding Vice President and a great friend. -bo.â€
The “-bo†signifies that the tweet was sent personally by President Obama, the Politico reported.
Last week, former Virginia Governor Doug Wilder, a Democrat, slammed Biden’s comments to a Virginia audience with many African-Americans about how Republicans “want y’all back in chains.â€
Wilder called the remarks “divisive†and “uncalled for.â€
On Sunday, Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter said Biden was “absolutely not†a liability.
