Biden says Obama may not be a big emote-r, but feels things deeply
Speaking at a fundraiser in Los Angeles, vice president Joe Biden sought to vouch for the president's softer side.
He said that some in the media have questioned why the president doesn't "emote more" and a pool report from the Beverly-Wilshire event says Biden "assured the crowd that Obama feels things deeply – especially the economic struggles of Americans. He said Obama is simply private about his personal life and has 'character traits that don’t lend themselves to 2012 national politics.'
And he told the crowd, "You’re backing the right guy, this guy knows what he believes, this guy is determined to get things done." Obama, he said, "has a backbone like a rail-rod."
He also told the crowd that he and Obama spend three hours a day together and have become close friends.
