Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Mitt Romney is no more qualified than a plumber to be president of the United States.
Repeating the White House’s latest line of attack, Biden told a Democratic audience in New Hampshire that Romney’s past as a business leader at Bain Capital is fair game for criticism. Obama and his surrogates have accused Romney of putting profits ahead of the workers at the companies his venture-capital firm invested in.
“When they succeed and the company succeeds, they make money,” Biden said. “When the company they got involved with fails, they make money.”
A president, Biden said, has to worry more about workers and what happens to them. Obama has made the same argument when asked about his campaign’s attacks on Romney’s business history.
“Your job as president is to promote the common good. That doesn’t mean the private-equity guys are bad. They’re not,” Biden said. “But that no more qualifies you to be president than to be a plumber.”
Republicans, for their part, say they are happy to compare Romney’s career as a businessman to Obama’s economic record as president.

This has Zero’s commie-agitator fingerprints all over it. I understand that Joe Biden is stupid, but he has been “uncorked” for a reason. The strategy is to hit the right fast and furious if you will, with non-stop baseless accusations and over the top rhetoric. Windmills of lies to joust coming from all angles, while the real issues like the deplorable economy and the criminality of the current administration get brushed aside.
Pot...kettle...black...
What the hell were Obozo’s qualifications to be President. Community Organizer? Part time, less than one-term Senator? No Executive experience.
Biden, you’re an idiot.
You have a good point, but I actually think that Zero and Joe are simply not smart enough to actually have and execute a strategy. I think that Joe has always been this bad, but the legacy press has finally been following him around, and can't help but publish his regular gaffs.
Ummmm what about the whole Governor of Massachusetts job? Maybe that prepares someone for national leadership a little more than say being the junior Senator from Illinois for two years. Just saying...
Just about any American plumber would do a better job running this country than the Marxists in charge! They know the value of a dollar and a business.
I should add that it also smells like Axelgrease.
A plumber knows how to run a business and fix things unlike the community organizer that we have now!
Biden is a flaming idiot....LMAO!
At least Joe the Plumber could spot a Socialist when he saw one.
Which is more than we can say for you, Biden.
Refresh my memory — what were Clinton’s qualifications, much less Obama’s! What a joke —
Too easy.
Flush the socialist!
“This, from the genius who pees in the sink in the mens room.”
Nah, he’s too short! Anyway, I think we need a “plumber” in the WH to flush all the little turds out of the place!
