Obama to Biden: “Shut up.”

October 24, 2012

Not really.

But, I was surprised during the debate what Obama said when talking about the decision to whack Bin Laden:

  • “… decisions are not always popular. Those decisions generally — generally are not poll-tested. And even some in my own party, including my current vice president, had the same critique as you did.” Transcript

There have been reports that Biden was a no vote.

Obama wasn’t asked the question, so I wonder why Obama outted his foreign relations guru VP during the debate?

Biden: “Some of the 47% pay higher effective rates than Gov. Romney” … say, what?

October 13, 2012

I’ve been re-watching the Biden-Ryan debate and reading the transcript … this time, it’s for comedy value.

Beyond the whoppers, I can’t believe how many fundamentally dumb things Biden said.  Many got obscured by his bluster.

Here’s one of my favorites … suitable for the Yogi Berra quote book:

These people [the 47%]  are my mom and dad, the people I grew up with, my neighbors.

They pay more effective tax than Governor Romney pays in his federal income tax.

I’ve had it up to here with this notion that 47 percent …

Full transcript & video

An obvious non sequitur.

By definition, the folks in the 47% don’t pay any Federal income taxes, so their effective rates are zero

And, zero is less than 14% … or any other positive tax rate.

Geez.

And that dufass is in line to be President.

Biden coins Obama 2012 campaign slogan, berates donors … and, the dumbest poll question ever.

May 4, 2012

Last week in a major policy address on foreign policy, VP Biden cited a reason to elect President Obama: because he has “a big stick”. 

Say what?

Maybe “Cool with a Big Stick” will  catch on as a replacement for Hope & Change …

Biden Berates Donors

According to pool press reports:

Vice President Joe Biden berated campaign donors at a fundraiser in Washington D.C.

“I guess what I’m trying to say without boring you too long at breakfast – and you all look dull as hell.

I might add. The dullest audience I have ever spoken to.

Just sitting there, staring at me. Pretend you like me!”

Dumbest Poll Question

While we’re on the topic …

Also last week, the FoxNews poll asked one of the dumbest questions ever:

“Do you approve or disapprove of the job Joe Biden is doing as Vice President?”

The results: a toss-up

My take:

1) Do people have any idea what the “job as Vice President” is?  Not sure that I do …

2) Hard for me to believe that 84% of the people even know who Joe Biden is.

3) Even if they did know what a VP does, and have an opinion re” how well Biden is doing the job … who cares?
