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.

happy to compare Romney’s career as a businessman to Obama’s economic record as president. .................................. You betcha! Record? Where?
He still can’t get over Joe the Plumber.
He does need to be completely humiliated though...and he's given the world years worth of material to go after him with.
speechless.
this has to be intentional to get biden off the ticket.
No way this is by accident.
I so hope he has a load on during the VP debate.
I’d pay to watch either Dick Cheney, Chris Christie or even Newt debate Biden. It would be an epic destruction of Ole Joe.
And before someone starts, I don’t want Christie for VP.
He can read?

To quote Plugs, "he's a clean, article negro."
Yes, I added the last word.

Sheesh.

“Joe” Wurzelbacher has weighed in with his own response. He chastises Biden for being a snob and for not respecting the abilities, intgelligence, etc. of plumbers. (Besides that, many plumbers are self employed or have small businesses and employ others, so why would that idiot, Biden, be making such a denigrating comment about plumbers? Joe, the VP, does not have half the ambition or the intelligence that most plumbers have, IMHO!)
Why do Democrats hate plumbers so much?
It’s actually kind of appropriate. Plumbers get the sh*t out of the [white]house!
Another quote that you'll not hear at SeeBS news. (If Dan Quayle said it...)
Biden, the village is looking for you!!
The description is apt. Obama has made a huge mess of things and Romney, for all this faults, will have to clean it up.
Is anyone else still listening to the Bee Gees? :(
I don’t know how much of a plumber Mittens is, but he better watch a YouTube video or two to learn.
Any time Romney’s qualification to be Prez is brought up it should be countered with the fact that America hired a pale Al Sharpton in 2008....
Greta had a short segment on him tonight with his reaction to the latest idiocy from Biden.
