Biden: ‘I Think I Could Do a Good Job’ as President

LAUER: "You are known as a guy who can work a room. Boy, you are good at that."

BIDEN: “(Laughs)”

LAUER: "Do you think you could work that room, Vice President Biden? Could you bring those people in that room together to work for the American people?"

BIDEN: "Being president and being a leader in the Senate are two different things. But when I was in the Senate, I had the great honor of being able to work the room. I was fairly effective in getting controversial things resolved whether it was relating to law enforcement and crime, the Violence against Women Act. I mean, as reminiscent, when I wrote Violence against Women Act that was told by everybody, 'There is no possibility Republicans would ever support it; no way this will get done.' So we started talking about it. We brought it -- we brought it to the attention of public and everybody said, 'Yeah, well, I guess we got to do something,' and we got it done."

LAUER: "Would you like the opportunity to work that room again from that podium?"

BIDEN: "Well, yeah. By the way, Matt, to be blunt with you, I think I can do a good job but that's not my focus now. My focus now is keeping this recovery moving and I have plenty of time to make that decision between now and the summer and I will make a decision in that timeframe."
