Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was so irked by the traffic congestion caused by Joe Biden's visit to Los Angeles that he decided to find out how much Americans really know about the vice president.
A select group of Americans walking along Hollywood Boulevard were asked one simple question: "Who is Joe Biden?"
Responses ranged from "our governor" to "a terrorist group," but one response was particularly entertaining.
"I don't know, Joe Biden--he is a Republican and he's going to be president soon, I'm assuming," one man said.
The interviewer then held up a photo of Biden and asked whether or not he "looks like he would be a friend of Obama."
"Uh, no he looks like he probably would oppose things Obama is doing," the man said.
"How come?" the interviewer asked.
"Uh, I'm basically going off skin color right now, to be honest with you," the man said. "But I have heard them badgering him and saying that he's not supporting the Democratic party or whatever."
The best answer Kimmel's crew could find was "Assistant President"--close enough.
