Description: Jill Biden: Joe had choice of VP or Sec. of State
By David Edwards
Jill Biden told Oprah Winfrey that her husband was offered his choice of positions in Barack Obamas administration.
This video is from ABCs The Oprah Winfrey Show, broadcast Jan. 19, 2009.
Later, the Vice President-elect's office issued this statement in response:
"Like anyone who followed the presidential campaign this summer, Dr. Jill Biden knew there was a chance that President-elect Obama might ask her husband to serve in some capacity and that, given his background, the positions of vice president and secretary of State were possibilities. Dr. Biden's point to Oprah today was that being vice president would be a better fit for their family because they would get to see him more and get to participate in serving more. To be clear, President-elect Obama offered Vice President-elect Biden one job only -- to be his running mate. And the vice president-elect was thrilled to accept the offer."
