On financial crisis a confused Obama blames Biden for “Shredding consumer protections”
The Collins Report ^ | Sept. 16, 2008 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Sometimes it seems that the Barack Obama/Joe Biden campaign is a contest between the two of them to see who can make a dumber gaffe.

Last week we saw Joe Biden asking a local Democrat confined to a wheelchair to “Stand up Chuck!” When he realized he had committed yet another Bidenism, Joe asked the silent staring man, “Can you tell I’m new at this?” This from a man in his sixth term in the Senate. Biden followed up with an opinion that Obama should have picked Hillary Clinton instead of him.

These peeks into the slow moving brain of the Senator from Delaware aside, Barack Obama’s gaffes have been still more damaging.

Recently Obama claimed membership in the Senate’s Banking Committee. He described how “My committee.. just this past week.. [passed a bill]… for divestment from Iran as a way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don’t obtain a nuclear weapon.”

Of course this was a clumsy pander to Jewish voters, but it is still worse. Obama is not a member of the Senate Banking Committee. In political speak he misspoke, but he lied. Either way he showed he still doesn’t understand the Senate, because it’s above his pay grade.

Nevertheless, Obama topped himself commenting on our financial crisis. Obama said, “Eight years of policies that have shredded consumer protections; have brought us to the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression.”

Obviously Obama is blaming the Democrat controlled Senate Anti trust Competition and Consumer Rights sub committee. Throughout Obama’s brief stay in the Senate Joe Biden has been a member of this committee, but maybe Obama doesn’t know that. He doesn’t know which committees he’s on. Why should he know Biden’s committees?. All of this seems to be above Obama’s pay grade...

Agreed. For all you math majors out there, he and Biden have gone non-linear.

Of course they lie, they’re democrats.

Did anyone ask Biden about his donations from fannie and freddie. He made the rounds of the shows with no one asking a single tough question.

Funny thing: the ‘gaffe’ was true: Biden led the charge on behalf of credit card issuers (like MBNA for which his son was a lobbyist) to change bankruptcy laws so that they offered less protection for consumers.

Joe Biden tells small town America,
Barack Obama is too educated and smart for your neighborhood.

He is relying on the President = King myth that has been foisted on so many of our citizens by the NEA controlled schools, entertainment industry and mainly by our news media. According to our Constitution Congress makes the laws, raises the money and spends the money. The Presidents job is some make it all work as ordered.
