Obama: No Way I Was Running Again Without Biden

TODD: "Did you really not know that your campaign was researching this idea of swapping Joe Biden for Hillary Clinton?"
OBAMA: "You know, again, Chuck, the problem that we got, and this goes back to the earlier question you asked, I am in charge of 2 million people in the federal government. And that was true, by the way, even when I was running for president. So people do all kinds of stuff. Some of it they clear with me. Sometimes they are trying to figure something out, particularly on the political side, and I'm not somebody who delves into polling, and all that data. Here's the one thing that I could say for certain, that if they had asked me, I would have said, that there is no way that I'm not running again with Joe Biden. Because I genuinely believe he has been one of the best vice presidents in our history. He also happens to be a friend. He also happens to be one of my most important advisers on domestic and foreign policy. I like him. When my back's up against the wall, he has my back."
