This last week, Joe Biden bristled at his predecessor’s charge that the Obama Administration was “dithering” on the war in Afghanistan<\/a>;<\/p>\n

“Who cares?” Biden said, when asked to comment on Cheney’s claims that Obama was “dithering” on ordering more troops to Afghanistan, as he plows through an exhaustive review of US strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan.<\/p>\n

“I think that is absolutely wrong. I think what the administration is doing is exactly what we said it would do,” Biden said in an interview with a pool of reporters in Prague after a three-nation visit to eastern Europe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, apparently the American people care, Joe. According to Byron York in the Washington Examiner<\/a>, Biden’s popularity has plunged in recent weeks;<\/p>\n

Biden’s average favorable rating during his time in office so far is 45 percent — well below the average 65 percent favorable rating for Vice President Dick Cheney during Cheney’s first year in office. Vice President Al Gore’s favorable rating during his first year, 55 percent, was also higher than Biden’s. (Gallup did not measure vice presidential popularity before Gore.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
