I work in a federal government office, and each time there is a new administration we get photos of the new Pres and Veep that are hiring in our entry area. Today for the first time I noticed a [new pic of Joe Biden](http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/vice_president_biden/) on the wall, and darned if he isn’t just about the happiest looking politician I’ve ever seen.
His boss had been [well hung](http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/president_obama/) for some time. I thought he sure looked somber. And thin!
Heck, even Cheney was crying to crack what I suppose he thinks passes for a smile, and W was in full smirk! (After the election our boss said she had received several offers to take down the previous pictures, but she declined and said they would be handled “appropriately.”)

The Obamalama has accepted a pretty stressful gig. I expect he’ll be looking pretty rough in 2011 and (maybe) 2016.
Reagan, Clinton and George 2.0 both look a lot more than 8 years older when you gaze upon their in & out pix.

No worries! It’s just whitehouse.something. 🙂

Biden’s pic says to me “I am _so_ the Vice President!”

I still can’t believe Joe Biden is Vice President.
This is a man who Foot Locker just provides new shoes to because he puts his foot in his mouth so much.
🙂
And yes, he does look quite pleased.
Will Obama suffer the greying of hair that other Presidents(most notably Clinton) have?

They pretty much all do. [http://www.millionface.com/l/the-aging-of-presidents/](http://www.millionface.com/l/the-aging-of-presidents/) Wilson’s first picture looks like a 19-year-old boy, and Roosevelt’s second looks like death warmed over (unsurprisingly).

Oh my god.
I’m sure someone else here has seen The Last Boyscout.
Remember when Bruce Willis’ character threw his glass at the billboard of the politician?
That’s what Biden looks like in that pic.
Creepy.

That is some grin he’s got. I remember during his debate with Palin, he’d get a twinkle in his eye and grin that shark’s grin when she’d mess up.
