“And folks look, AARP knows and the people working here today know, the president knows, and I know, that the status quo is simply not acceptable,” Biden said at the event on Thursday in Alexandria, Va. “It’s totally unacceptable.

It is almost impossible to believe that a sitting Vice President of America could be that stupid. “Spend more to keep from going bankrupt”. People in an insane asylum are smarter than Biden.

The only way a reasonable person can interpret that is to think that they need the money from the HUGE TAXES they will charge us in the name of Nationalized Health Care, to pay for all of the other Socialist programs they passing.

Joe Biden is Obama’s insurance that he will last 4 years. There is no way that anyone would want Biden to sit in the Oval Office and have any decision making powers. The guy is an oxygen thief.

...and may I point out that due to his financial wisdom, he’s one of the poorest Senators we have!

Biden has around 40 years of public service experience.

That’s his first year... 40 times.

Joe is Obama's insurance policy against being declared a usurper.
Obama the Kenyan knew the courts and legislature would balk at
removing him from office knowing that Joe "The Jerk" is next in line

“We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation,” Biden said.

“Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.”

Plugs - We're already bankrupt. And we know you lied through your plugs when you told the group that ZeroCare will not eliminate people’s ability to choose their health care insurance.

Yeah, why not, it works for me.

Whenever I spend too much, instead of cutting back on my spending, I race right out there and grab me a few more of them there Titanium Charge Cards, and run up the bill 20 Grand higher.

It makes my personal economy so much better!

Until the day of reckoning comes.

Idiots.

The bartenders in the club cars of the Amtrak trains he used to ride say they miss "Old Joe". But they also say that they don't miss his twenty five cent tips.

If Bush had said this, the network anchors would be rolling on the floor in hysterics, then calling for his resignation.

Biden says it, and...(insert cricket sounds here)...
