Plus he's already spoken highly of Obama, calling him (as I recall) "nice and clean."

I think pretty highly of Biden overall, but in the modern campaign setting, I think he's a liability. He talks too much, and too frequently off the cuff, and just by his nature he's bound to be a complete font of material for those who play the gotcha-style sound bite game. I think Obama is too scarred from that sort of thing (in the very immediate past) to see past this serious liability for Biden.
