Last Minute Larry Steps In to Save the Day?

er, Barry, rather.  He's always been known for his cramming and doubling down on his work at the last minute, right?  And boy, if this isn't a call to action, what is?  

Still, you wonder if he can still excite passion and turn out the black vote this late in the game.  Folks remember how he was joshing Joe not so long ago, back in April it was...

“It is good to be back in the White House. It’s been a while,” Obama said when he began his remarks. “I confess I heard some changes have been made by the current President since I was last here. Apparently Secret Service agents have to wear aviator sunglasses now. The Navy Mess has been replaced by a Baskin-Robbins. And there’s a cat running around.”

Obama began his speech by addressing his host as “Vice President Biden” before quickly correcting himself. “That was a joke!” he exclaimed, walking over to give Biden a hug. “That was all set up. My President, Joe Biden.”

Two people close to Obama later said it had been a slip of the tongue, and not how Obama had intended to begin his remarks touting the legacy of the Affordable Care Act.

The episode hardly ranks high on the list of presidential gaffes that either man has made over the years. Yet it did cause at least a few eyes to roll among Biden loyalists, who have long questioned whether Obama views his successor as an equal.
