The cat and the dog.

"By politicians’ standards, Obama projected feline indifference to the adoration he engendered. Biden reached for every hand, shoulder, and head."

From "The Biden Agenda" (in The New Yorker). And from the same article:
After Obama’s disastrously muted performance in a debate against Romney, the Vice-President prepared to face his counterpart, Paul Ryan, the then forty-two-year-old Wisconsin congressman, who has the eyes of a foal. Onstage, Biden wore a lupine grin.

Loopy, maybe.

EDH,

"Loopy, maybe."

That comment is the just the sort of ineffectual bullshit conservatives consider "winning" today.

Keep it up - it works well for beating you,...

I own cats that are capable of and display a far more sincere affection than Barack Obama has ever shown in anything but the most awkwardly staged photo ops.

Whites keep trying to make me scared but it's not working.

I should've warned you guys:

I don't pay attention to racist whites' OTHER mental problem - their always alarmed, end-of-the-world, apocalyptic outlook.

Keep this in mind:

Blacks were forced to be your witnesses - in public and private.

Your madness has no effect on me,...

Lo el tiene que hacer es hablar castellano y no promulgar tonterías. O como digo el gran Wilfredo Vargas en su gran hit "El Africano" "Mami, que lo quiere el Negro"?

Likable isn't the term to be used. Amusing in a low-rent sort of way is more appropiate.

Biden used an obvious strategy in that debate. He laughed and giggled and made outrageous noises while Ryan was trying to be serious. It's an extreme version of the left's comedy technique, like Jon Stewart who never says anything serious but tries to makes other opinions look foolish by laughing at them. In Biden's case, it seemed to work with the LIV Democrats. Sort of The View version of politics.

Lupine eh? Well Biden does seem to be a silly SOB--so there may be something to "lupine".
