We all know in the afternoon of the final day of the 2008 Democratic National Convention when the tragedy happened when Democratic Presidental Nominee Barack Obama was killed in a drive by shooting by two self proclaimed white nationalists who turned out to be big Clinton supporters.
We all also know that the convention would of been delayed for a day and then in a 6 round contested convention Vice Presidental nominee and Delaware Senator Joe Biden was selected as the nominee in a slight edge and chose former Presidental nominee John Kerry who came in a close second in the voting as his running mate.
Then Biden/Kerry would go on to win the presidency and Biden himself in a recent poll a few days ago showed that Biden had a very favorable approval rating post presidency
But with that said what if Obama dodged a bullet literally and everything went to plan. Would Obama been president and if so how would of it gone?

Yeah Biden was unpopular going into the 2012 election.
I think it was because of how he didn't keep his promise of ending Iraq and instead sending more troops in.
And how he messed up that raid on Bin Laden and Gaddafi?
And how he ignored the occupy Wall Street movement which almost cause a primary challenge from Dennis Kuninch.
But I really think the Republicans choked in 2012

Well what do you expect, he wanted Pakistan to take part in the operation, he should have known the Inter-Services Intelligence, the premier intelligence agency of Pakistan was keeping Bin Laden, as a result of him trusting the Pakistani, they moved him to a new safe hours 24 hours before the raid which killed at least a dozen SEALS.

If there is a good thing I can say about Biden's presidency is that he has made Cuba and Vietnam open to trade and western customs and they are pretty much starting to aband their communist ways
