It's been little over three weeks since Joe Biden became deputy to the most powerful man in the world and he still hasn't grown into his new role. The former senator can be seen at the State Department discussing foreign policy or dining with President Barack Obama in the White House. Sometimes he presents himself as a champion of the middle classes, at other times he appears in shirtsleeves at on a railway platform pleading for investment in infrastructure. "It is hard now," he admitted in a recent TV interview. "What I have to think now is, everything I say, I am the vice president. I am not the president. So everything I say reflects directly on the administration."
Munich speech This Saturday Vice-President Joe Biden will be speaking explicitly on behalf of the United States. His speech at the Munich Security Conference will be the vice president's first major international appearance -- and the Bavarian capital is rolling out the red carpet for him. The conference organizers promise that his speech will provide the impetus for a new start in trans-Atlantic relations.
