michael goodwin is a columnist and fox news contributor is here. arly the fredo of the obama family. and i wouldn't be surprised to see him sent out on a fishing boat one early morning. look, biden does not help the reelection effort. he goes off message all the time. he's a real liability when it comes to pulling in a new, exciting part of the base. hillary clinton, if president obama were to make that switch, would enlisten the ticket. and i believe, i continue to believe despite what the white house says, that if it comes close in the summer, if the polls show obama trailing, he will make the switch. that hillary clinton will be on the ticket and joe biden will be sleeping with the fishes. >> brian: right. he laugh that had off yesterday. says everything says obama-biden. meanwhile, he was questioned extensively by david gregory over his accusation from the stump that mitt romney wouldn't have made the same call that president obama did when it came to taking out bin laden. let's listen. >> in this particular area, you said bin laden is dead. gm
