Biden: I say 'exactly what I mean, it's not gonna change'
By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 8/15/12 1:57 PM EDT
Via Jonathan Martin, who's on the trail with Joe Biden today, the VP began his speech in a much more subdued fashion than he did yesterday when he talked about "chains" to the crowd in Virginia.
And there were no mentions of any form of shackle at this event, "I know I am sometimes criticized for saying exactly what I mean. It's not gonna change."
His attempt at clean-up last night was to say he meant to say "unshackle," but he still dinged Mitt Romney for calling it "outrageous." What was "outrageous," he said, were the GOP policies.
He also added that Romney and Paul Ryan are trying to transform Medicare into a voucher system, saying, "You know how confusing it is to begin with."
Of the GOP intentions, he said, "This is not a mystery anymore, this is not a mystery. ... The Etch A Sketch is gone. This is written pretty clearly."
As I wrote last night, Biden is digging in on what he said earlier yesterday, making the clarification a bit murky. And saying he says what he means is not likely to quell the anger among Republicans over what he said in the first place.

That’s right! You tell ‘em, Joe!
Don’t you let them shut you up.
Preach on, brother!
“They gonna put y’all in chains!”
Biden would have to improve by uncountable orders of magnitude to be worthy of the epithet “filthy vermin.”
Yet, Biden is orders of magnitude morally superior to its owner, the Kenyan anti-Christ.
No it won't Joe, because you can change your hair but you can't change stupid.
Call him whatver you want but if something happens to Great Leader, Biden will be president. If that doesn’t make people think twice when they vote nothing will.
Biden pictures himself as a tough guy who speaks his mind, that would be alright and have no problem with anyone being tough and speaking their mind, but his major problem is he makes no sense and does not engage his brain before his mouth starts speaking.
“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” Robert McCloskey
He really is this dense. Rudy Giuliani said it perfectly yesterday:
“I think if it came from somebody serious, maybe we’d get all excited about it,” Giuliani said on CNBC’s The Kudlow Report, dismissing Biden. “But I think the vice president of the United States has become a laugh line on late night television. I mean, I’ve never seen a vice president that has made as many mistakes, said as many stupid things. …There’s a real fear if, God forbid, he ever had to be entrusted with the presidency, whether he really has the mental capacity to handle it.”“I mean, this guy just isn’t bright. He’s never been bright. He isn’t bright. People think well, he just talks a little too much. Actually, he’s just not very smart.”
So I now live in North Carolina and it’s really 1993?
The selection of Ryan shines a spotlight on the incompetence and sad bufoonery of the current VP.
OB looks bad whether he keeps him or dumps him.
If I were him, I would dump him now through some subterfuge and not wait until after the dem convention.
Well that really puts the pin in the party hog. If he says what he means, then he’s not fit to fill the President’s shoes. What kind of lunatic would threaten a group of people with many blacks in attendance that the opposition wants to put them in chains? He’s either got early onset of dementia or he’s loonier than Porky Pig. They must have drilled those hair plugs in a little too deep. He really needs to be retired and put on medications to control his mental state.
Biden will be gone in 11 days,Bank on it
Biden: “I’m a dipchit and it isn’t going to change”
Gone where? I don’t think anybody would want to replace him. Not a lot of Democrats angling for a job on that sinking ship.
Certainly not Hillary Clinton ... there is absolutely no reason she would want to hitch her wagon to Obama. She’s better off waiting for 2016.

nothing but love for FReepers ~ y’all got me laughing out loud at a TRAGEDY! (or maybe TRAVESTY) is more apt?
Defeat Obamatollah and Mullah Biden...
Whenever ANYONE says that we are racist... just say... “joe biden is a racist”.

“I mean, this guy just isn’t bright. He’s never been bright. He isn’t bright. People think well, he just talks a little too much. Actually, he’s just not very smart.”
NEITHER is obama... but obama is cunning and conniving... and evil.
