Vice President Biden Calls President Obama a "Homeboy in the White House"?

"So as the president said, when he was up here with the governor, we’re not going anywhere. We’re not not going anywhere. And you’ve got a homeboy in the deal who gets it." 

Joe Biden said this to a group of Hurricane Sandy survivors in New Jersey today.
