Happy Birthday to Joe Biden!!!! Can't wait for both he and Obama to be sworn into office so we get to see more of them. It's strange not seeing them on a daily basis as we did during the campaign. I hope the next four years bring both them and their families both success and peace.

Today is NOT a slow news day, so as aw-shucks as this is and as much as I love BHO and Joe, I'm not sure why this was posted.

As trivial as this FR newsread is, it is a nice to see something lighthearted once in a while to remind all of us that everyone is human.

Happy Bday Vice President Elect Biden!

Again, the contrasts. Can anyone visualize such a relaxed humorous event happening between Bush and Cheney? NOT!

I think Obama and Biden have great chemistry together. And that's key to being a successful team.

President Elect Obama is going to bring back what the White House needed for along time and that is (TEAM WORK). President Elect Obama does have the potential of becoming one of the greatest Presidents that ever served our country.

This is good team chemistry that Obama-Biden have built politically. I noticed this professional, positive, and productive working relationship early on, which is very crucial for success. Happy Birthday Joe! I hope you enjoyed your gift of cup cakes.

That's so funny how Obama did the cupcake birthday surprise a day early and was very diplomatic to not have 66 candles on sokme big cake. Nice to have something light and humorous to comment upon.

Thanks First Read for giving us so many great articles to comment upon and for posting our comments. FR is the best place for politics and the whole FR crew Rocks!

Now that is just nice. Love hearing stories of people just getting along. Hate all the hate that almost killed the America I know and love.

Then Obama led the staff in singing Biden Happy Birthday. Obama also surprised him by giving him a Chicago White Sox hat, a Chicago Bears hat, and a bucket of Garrett's popcorn as gifts.

And in typical Democratic fashion, all this junk was paid for with taxpayer money.

On what basis do you believe that cupcakes and gifts totalling under a 100 are tax payer funded? Grow up!

Happy Birthday Joe!

It is nice to see that we have a vice president and a president who seems to not only like each other but respect each other as well, and it also helps that President elect Barak Obama seems to be just as caring and thoughtful as he has portrayed himself to be on the campaign trail. That is refreshing and very much needed during these tough times for our country

Another reason to love Joe Biden - he and I share a birthday month. Yeah, I know -- a stretch.

But still - Happy Birthday Vice President Elect Biden!! All the best for many, many more!

Pres-Elect Obama -- you are one classy guy!! But then we knew that already.

"Random Thoughts" that is why your thoughts only come randomly because they make no sense whatsoever. Do you know for a fact that it was paid for by taxpayers money, and if it was did you donate any money to the Obama/Biden campaign. If not then if you can not say anything nice don't say anything at all.

Happy Birthday Joe Biden and may you have many more.

Just a small touch of why we all have such hope of once again being "united" rather than "divided".

That doesn't even make sense. Dog years are shorter than human years. A more apt joke would have been, "Maybe in Saturn years!"

It's nice to know your new boss is such a thoughtful and gracious guy--wait, we already knew that! Happy Birthday, Vice-President Elect, Joe Biden! Many more.

The sour pickle at the top of the comments reminds me of my ex. Maybe he'd rather go back to the Bush years, the DARK AGES. WE'RE all about to have a lot more fun!
