But while Mr. Obama has moved quickly to assemble his White House staff and the beginnings of a cabinet, he is lagging behind even the chronically late President Bill Clinton in bringing clarity to the role his vice president will play.

For Biden, No Portfolio but the Role of a Counselor - NYTimes.com

I suspect that the Obama team has come to regard Biden as something of a joke, although this should have been evident before Obama picked him to be VP.  So far, it seems like Obama is picking very smart and very serious people to advise him, and if this is the path he’s going to take, then of course Biden won’t have much of a role.  The marginalization of Joe Biden is a good thing.
