Joe Biden gives himself huge promotion in speech, sets tongues wagging

Here’s the question Washington D.C. is asking on the day of Vice President Joe Biden's swearing in: Was what happened last night just a regular ol’ Biden screw-up, or a slip of the tongue that reveals lofty ambitions? At the Iowa State Society inauguration ball late last night, Biden told supporters: “I’m proud to be president of the United States.”  Oops. The audience laughed and cheered, before Biden’s son Beau interrupted the veep and told the crowd he'd misspoken. Biden hasn’t totally ruled out a run for the oval office in 2016, even though he’ll be 73 on Election Day. That's one year older than John McCain was in 2008. [Source]
