Who's president?

Comments (0)

Vice President Joe Biden had some slips of the tongue on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, first calling Mitt Romney president and then saying Hillary Clinton is president, according to a transcript.

The first gaffe came as he was discussing the economy and trying to tie Romney to the House GOP budget proposed by Rep. Paul Ryan.

"They say they want the Ryan budget. They've all voted for it. And President-- and Romney says he's for it, which emasculates the very things that are gonna-- allow people to-- allow us to grow this economy," Biden said.

Later, he was answering a question about speculation that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would be a good choice to be Obama's vice president, if Biden were not going to run for a second term. Let's go the the transcript:

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: The thing that annoys me about it is the implication of that that somehow President Clinton is weak and he needs some kind of help. I mean--

DAVID GREGORY: President Obama.

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: Pre-- President Obama is weak. That's not directed at me. It's-- and it's unfair.

Vixen is acting wacky on purpose, laying the groundwork for announcing his withdrawal from being obama’s Vp in next term.

The first gaffe is barely one - he did not say President Romney nor does it appear he was intending to. The second one, easy given Clinton; and the challenge - and rudeness - of the question itself. Is the Media building a case against Biden - and for Hillary? Sounds like it; and this not first indication.

Biden makes an authentic 'gaff a day'. But hey; nothing new; and we should all keep moving. That is until; the MSM decides otherwise.

How about those slips of tongue; whereby Obama; was called Osama; so much so; that the MSM started pronouncing Osama as 'Oooh'sama; to make this less likely; and reduce the 'mirror' of the two names. Shepard Smith still does this.

Better for all of us; if they would start mentioning Obama's gaffs. Obama is very close to Biden, in his articulated - ignorance. And far more embarrassing. And he deserves to be heard; 'in full'.

Okay, what did he royally screw up during the chat that he is diverting attention from with gaffes for the MSM to focus on?

We’d be better off if Biden were to move up on the ladder.

I’d say he’d been brainwashed, but you have to have a brain for that to happen.

Thanks Sub-Driver.
...first calling Mitt Romney president and then saying Hillary Clinton is president...
I'm surprised he didn't call out Ahmedinejad's name as well.

Well, here comes another one and pretty typical of Joe, for sure. It's a good one. . .

from Brietbart at Big Journalism:

[BIDEN: 'WILL & GRACE' 'DID MORE TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC THAN ANYTHING' ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE]

Big Journalism link

Beyond the worst of Biden - and he IS both bad; and awful - he still seems to have a likeability factor than his Boss; cannot match.

Think he is one of a few, that makes Obama look 'really' smart. Anyone else who smarter; and is 'close' to Obama; would be an intellectual threat; and so think 'Biden won'. . .at least for four.
