The Obama campaign has canceled Vice President Biden's entire Florida trip. "This change in schedule is being taken to ensure that all law enforcement and emergency management resources across the state can continue

[slumber1]

Darn - all that studying for nothing

[FreedBird]

Maybe someone said they did not want to watch Biden make a fool of himself in Florida.

"This change in schedule is being taken to ensure that all law enforcement and emergency management resources across the state can continue their focus on ensuring the safety of those who might be impacted by the storm," the campaign said in a release.

Pulling law enforcement from the GOP convention was the reason for Biden going to Florida in the first place. The more LEOs committed to Biden means fewer to deal with the OWS protesters Obama sent to cause trouble during the convention.

Is it true that Joe couldn’t pass the Florida entrance exam?

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Fact is: Obama and his Obamabot America haters know that Florida is a lost cause. This race is over.....and the Obama media and Obamabots know it. Now...folks let’s work on destroying the entire Democrat Party politically for many years to come.

Stay motivated, get out and vote and make America free and strong, once again. Any vote cast for Obama is a vote to destroy the American Republic!!! ABO!!!

I think it’s the Biden wimp factor more than anything else.

There is a part of me that wants to say the hurricane threat is God’s/nature’s answer to the Obama campaign flouting tradition and campaigning during the convention.

And look, the hurricane is moving west.

Joe, it’s not nice to piss off Mother Nature.

“They come in threes”, so who’s the “third” Armstrong?

[ilgipper]

This is preparation for the “GOP is heartless, and partying while people suffer” campaign that will begin in about 24 hours. They couldn’t make that charge if Biden was bloviating 80 miles away in the same state. It is coming. The left/MSNBC nutballs will jump all over this manufactured condemnation.

[mass55th]

I’m sure that one person who was planning on showing up will be terribly disappointed.

[Falcon4.0]

Damn that’s Funny!

[mass55th]

"...who’s the “third” Armstrong?"

How about Louis Armstrong?

[dfwgator]

Stretch Armstrong?

[GotMojo]

Hey Plugs....Take Amtrak!

"This change in schedule is being taken to ensure that all law enforcement and emergency management resources across the state can continue..

It doesn't ring true. If the Obama people were 'oh so caring' they would have done something about the slaughter taking place in Chicago... They're taking Biden to the woodshed...

[married21]

Nobody would come out in the rain to see him.

[cubreporter]

Why are we hearing from Jeb Bush? Where is Marco Rubio?

[carriage_hill]

LMAO!

[mass55th]

"Stretch Armstrong?"

LOL! Forgot about him. I had to buy him for my kids when they were little.

I think Joe was being sent there to become a martyr. I think the plan was to divert LEO from the RNC, then OWS would stage some false flag attacks (see stories on the protesters caught with BB guns on rooftops in Tampa today) that would divert LEO from Biden, who would then be taken out by a real sniper. Blame would be placed on gun-toting zealots which would amp up the drive to ban guns, and a spot on the ticket would be made available for Hillary to step into at the DNC. However ... LEO’s have found several rooftops where it was apparant attacks were going to come from, and have now found 2 who planned to be perps, and we know what thier political leanings are ... so the Biden martyr scenario became one that would have been a lot harder to sell to the public, and the gun outcry would have been even harder if it could have ever been proven a setup. With the plan falling apart ... no sense sending slo-Joe to speak and possibly say anything else stupid when the RNC will have a national platform to denounce his stupidity within minutes.

I think having Palin pushing the Biden removal from the ticket false flag was a friggin stroke of genius ... whomever came up with that one is GREAT because it really really boxed Obama into keeping Joe on the ticket.

My point being that Lance Armstrong didn’t die, and the VP is an ongoing gaffe embarrassment. It was a botched joke.

[mass55th]

It wasn’t botched.

I was thinking the exact thing you are.

Guess the area isn’t ready for a windbag & a tropical storm at the same time...
