Joe Biden was backtracking big-time over suggestions that Obama-Biden might bring criminal charges against Pres Bush. "I don't know where that report is coming from," said the Delaware senator. Why, from Joe Biden is where. Speaking in Deerfield Beach, Fla, this week, Biden was asked whether "you are going to pursue violations that have been made against our Constitution by the present administration." Biden's reply: "Yes. We will not be 'estopped' from pursuing any criminal offenses that occurred" during the Bush years. What about Obama? Last April he said he would "have my justice Department and my AG immediately review the information that's already there and to find out if there are inquiries that need to be pursued." ........criminalizing policy differences - is how they conduct politics in Third World banana republics.

The Dims, especially the far lefters, must have no taste buds. How else to explain that they never seem to detect the taste of shoe leather?
Obama/Biden are real post-partisan, aren’t they?
Way to unite the country!
IIRC, Rush ran audio of Biden saying it one day and denying it the next day.
LOL.
Hoisted on his own petard, Biden was.
Then again...
“I was in a drunken blackout, and don’t recall saying that.”
Two America’s? Two Joe’s? LOL.
Life imitates art (or visa versa)... “Vote for Pedro.... He'll make all your dreams come true.”
Great point... If either of you (Obama/Biden) had the experience of being a small town mayor you would learn you can’t have it both ways!
These Dims are all smoking crack...and it is very obvious to the American public. What morons!!!
Oh my what a shock. Joe Biden turns out to be nothing more then a typical political hack. Who saw that coming...
What, is this estupid man Espanish? He needs to estop talking.
Just what this country needs, a new Castro in Washington. /sarc
Don't you just love how perfect these Dems are?
If Joe Biden had actually had a job where he was actually responsible to voters, say as a Mayor, or even Public Works Director of a small town, he would have learned that the (local) press will hold you accountable for promises and gaffes. What a Maroon!
He said that to appeal to his left-wing base.
Estopped, as he went on to explain in his speech is a law term. If I recall correctly, something to the effect of:
failing to do one thing now could prevent you from doing another in the future.
Read: We’re invistigating in case; we don’t want to be in a position where we want to prosecute and can’t because we failed to act before.
[French pétard, from Old French, from peter, to break wind, from pet, a breaking of wind, from Latin pēditum, from neuter past participle of pēdere, to break wind.]
Speaking of shoe leather. We need to take up that habit the Iraqis had when we went into Baghdad and toppled Hussein.
I remember them taking their shoes off and smacking them against that fallen statue. LOL
Old habits are hard to break. 30 years of doing the same thing and now he's supposed to just chuck it all because of this new fangled internets blogging fad?
