VP Joe Biden: ‘Osama Bin Laden is dead, General Motors is alive’

“We're gonna win because the American people understand we're about promoting the private sector, they're about protecting privilege.”

Vice President Joe Biden told a crowd of 250 volunteers and art students in Manchester, N.H. the administration and all the possible republican opponents have fundamentally different plans for the middle class. From the economy, to tax policy, from women's health care to education, Biden said the GOP candidates are playing the American people for suckers.

“It's about turning to your kid knowing, knowing their need, and knowing there's not a damn thing you can do to help them. That rips people apart. It's more than just a kid not getting to school. These guys don't get that part of it. And again they're not bad guys, but I don't believe (Mitt) Romney understands it.”

Biden admitted a lot of the President’s decisions have been unpopular but they’re finally paying off and the administrations accomplishments can be summed up on a bumper sticker.

“Osama Bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive,” he told the crowd which cheered in response.

“Osama Bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive,” repeated Kay Galloway outside of the event. “Republicans, beat that.”

Hope this genius doesn't trample over the winners of the Little League World Series again like he did back in 2009.

He literally ran onto the field in the midst of the winners victory celebration for a photo op.

Look up the word "douchebag" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Joe Biden.

"General Motors is alive..."

Wait a darn pickin minute, joe...

You folks were just saying corporations are not people, and now you say a corporation is alive? Yes, GM is a corporation filled with "people". Which one is it... you can't have it both ways?

The groundwork and technology to finally close in on OBL was none of Obama’s doing.

GM needed to restructure to survive, like any blue chip dinosaur has had to. Instead, we get a dictator forcing a solution, screwing the bondholders, rewarding the UAW and steering the company in a perverse direction counter to needs and demands. Now they are shoving Volts down the throats, offering tax credits and cooking the books to make it an Obama success story.

Reminds me of the “Ural”. Soon it will be our only choice and we will publicly rave about it and privately curse it.

“Osama Bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive,”

both at great cost to the American tax payer.

Bin Laden, that cost is final.

General Motors, that cost continues.....

And Joe, you are still an idiot

Dims have their marching orders and are pounding their talking points. Where are Boehner and McConnell these days? Hiding under their desks again and waiting for Sarah to fire back?

Killing bin laden to me was a wasted move. He was already holed up and couldn’t ever go anywhere. Pretty much ineffective. Killing him was a fish-in-a-barrel for political polling points.

Screwing the GM bondholders. Oh, yeah, what a success story that was. Who wants to buy bonds?

Now, seeing it’s Biden, let’s double check before we accept his statement as accurate.

Sorry. Cannot agree with you there. Killing Bin Laden was not a wasted move. I don’t care if he was no longer effective, something we cannot be sure of. I don’t care if he was 5 minutes from a natural death. He would still be worth the bullet.

I only hope the burial at sea was a cover and he is in some room somewhere being interrogated in perpetuity.

General(Government) Motors and that Italian company Chrysler are walking dead corporations, they just don’t know it yet. Give them a couple of years.
