CAITLIN MACNEAL – JANUARY 12, 2014, 2:23 PM EST

Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates, who wrote critically about Vice President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, on Sunday said both would make good presidents.

"Actually, yeah I think she would," Gates said in an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning" when asked if Hillary Clinton would make a good commander-in-chief. When asked about Biden, Gates also said he would also do well in the role. "I suppose to be even-handed I would have to say I suppose he would," he said.

Gates, who in his book said Biden was "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades," conceded that he sometimes agreed with the Vice President. And Gates had additional praise for Clinton.

"The thing that I like best about Secretary Clinton, other than the fact that she has a great sense of humor, was she's very tough-minded," he said.

Ridiculous. 

So he thinks a person who he claims is wrong on all issues over the last 40 years would also make a good potus?

Gates is only credible when I agree with what he says.

[Dos Equis]

The headline is a little misleading, because the question was whether they would make a good CIC, not a good president.  And his answer about Biden was hardly a ringing endorsement.  It's also inconsistent with him saying Biden has been wrong on foreign policy for essentially his entire career.

Did he say good - or better than what we have? Haha.

Donal trump would make a good president in current times
