Biden draws Obama's ire over flubs

As for Biden - due to the serious gaffe with the first recitation, and the missing Bible for the Second taking of the Oath of Office - technically Joe Biden has been the acting President for some 36 hours by the time Obama repeated the oath satisfying the Constitution Requirement, and some are even arguing that he may STILL technically be the President due to the missing Bible in the “Do-Over”.

---

There is no requirement to use a Bible in the Constitution. Since it is oath made just as much before the American People as before God, the oath is just as binding without it. It is an oath, not a magic spell.

And I don't expect that these people in the White House will be more likely to be restrained by an oath made on any quantity of Bibles.

As for Biden being President, he never took the oath of office, therefore he was always only Vice President.

I hope Jill Biden learns how to keep SECRETS better than she has.

I believe there's a strong possibility that ole Joe was merely trying to puff himself up in front of the Mrs. and told her a flat out lie, and like a fool, she believed him.

"Yeah, honey, your old man- he's so important that Bar, (I call him Bar, don't you know), he can't figure out which job he wants me in the most...."

Biden and Franken are going to give the Democrats a lot of trouble.

I love them.

[Just mythoughts]

I still can't figure out why Bama pick Biden for anything.

Obama is Bozo the Clown all on his own. He interrupted Roberts. Not Biden. This is orchestrated by Axelrod to provide Obama cover for his ineptness.

Perhaps you are right, but Biden is typecast perfectly for his role, and I doubt anybody in Obama's camp foresaw the need to have someone like Biden on staff for the purpose you suggest, or that, Biden would be so perfect for the role.

There is no way this nicotine addict won’t come unglued with this level of scrutiny.

I also think that he will have a breakdown in office. Then we have Biden, then we have Pelosi.

Are you asking if I am depressed about the future of our country? I am in deep mourning.

There’s a thread on it.

The Bible was missing at the "do over?"

My guess is that Lincoln's Bible went back to the archives after the inaugural ceremony on Tuesday.

[StarCMC]

Biden is such a buffoon!

[al_c]

Bipartisanism at it’s best! Obama should slap Biden.

"The selection of Biden as running mate should have been enough proof of poor judgment on Obama’s part..."

[livius]

I missed the thread - I can’t find it now. Any idea which one it was? Thanks.

We can reuse all of the Dan Quayle jokes.

It seems the problem with Biden is, you never know which Joe is going to show up, "Good Joe" or, especially this week, "Clown Joe". It's almost as if the guy is schizophrenic or two-faced (see for yourself):

Check your ping list

Every good monarch needs a Fool.

Sa it ain’t so!!

Joe Biden went off script and shoved an entire shoe into his mouth again??

What do you mean that there’s gambling going on in that casino??!!

Keep an eye on Rahm to see if he has a roll of 100 MPH tape in his pocket.....

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

I figure there are only two reasons Obama would choose this clown, Biden.

1. Biden has something on Barry

2. It will make people think twice about doing anything to Barry. You might get stuck with this gasbag simpleton.

Obam did look PO’ed, funny stuff. This administration is an embarrassing bunch of crooks and jokers.
