Vice President-elect Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden sat down with Oprah Winfrey yesterday in Washington D.C. The talk show maven took her Chicago show on the road to partake in all of the inauguration activities for her friend President-elect Barack Obama, including a private dinner on Sunday evening at Blair House.

During their conversation, Jill let slip that Joe had actually been offered two jobs – VP and Secretary of State. He immediately put his fingers to his lips and said shhhh. The audience laughed and she trudged on with more dialogue on the subject.

Several hours later Biden’s office released a statement indicating that he had only been offered the VP job. Check out their family photos here.
