FTA:
"After the exchange aired on television three hours later, Biden spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander denied Jill Biden's account in a statement e-mailed to reporters."

If we are to believe in the new administration, perhaps this type of denial shouldn't happen. Granted, as previous posters say, no one but the two parties know absolutely what was said, but Mrs. Biden provided too many details of the discussion between she and her husband (and Biden himself didn't deny it on air, just shushed her)for me to disbelieve her account. I remain disappointed in President Obamas choice of VP.

  Why? It's apparent you doubt without any proof.
  
  Two people meet together and go their seperate ways. Both talk to their spouses about what was talked about at the meeting. Ask those spouses what happened at that meeting and you can be DAMN SURE there will be points upon which both sides differ 180 degrees.
  
  "Granted, as previous posters say, no one but the two parties know absolutely what was said,"
  
  That's where it should end.
  
  "I remain disappointed in President Obamas choice of VP."
  
  You just don't stop whining and move on, do you.

    You just don't miss an opportunity to be snide and nasty, do you?
    
    There was nothing vague in Jill Bidens assertion, and Joe Biden did not correct her view of what happened. He sat there with a huge embarrassed smile on his face. I don't need proof to take the words of the Vice Presidents' wife, do I? She is a rational, honest person, isn't she?
    Spokespersons for high level politicians have been wrong before though, haven't they.
    Denial from a spokesperson after Joe Bidens' reaction on the show looks disingenuous.
    My opinion of Biden was formed long before I knew President Obamas name, it didn't change afterwards.
    
    SHEESH!
