It’s way too early to be April Fools Day. So we’re not sure how to explain this:
White House says Obama appreciates Bob Gates service welcomes differences of view but disagrees calls Biden leading statesman of his time
— Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) January 8, 2014
In response to Gates, the WH says Biden "has been of the leading statesman of his time, and has helped advance America's leadership."

Well, he does come from a state. And he’s a man. Maybe that’s what the White House meant.
Joe Biden, a leading statesman?

The White House referred to Biden as a "statesman"!? Biden & the WH wouldn't know what a statesman is!

"Biden is one of the greatest statesman of his age."
