Former Joe Biden Aide: Obama 'Financially Illiterate'
Big Government ^ | 10/25/12 | William Bigelow

Posted on 10/25/2012 6:37:59 PM PDT by markomalley

Don’t bother saying it ain’t so, Joe.

According to a former staffer for Joe Biden, the Vice President is selfish, disloyal and concerned about his own manhood. Jeff Connaughton, the author of “The Payoff,” a book that came out in September which indicts Democrats for being controlled by the big banks, tells anecdotes about Biden that reveal Biden to be less of a good guy than he portrays himself.

Story #1. After Biden gaffed during the 2008 campaign and said Obama would be tested as president, Obama waited until a few days after the election to chide him. Biden met with Connaughton and some other advisors:

“Biden told us that Obama had called him and told him sharply that he didn’t need public tutoring: ‘I don’t need you acting like you’re my Henry Higgins.’ Biden said his private reaction was, ‘Whoa. Where did this come from? This is clearly a guy who could restrict my role to attending state funerals or just put me in a closet for four years. I’m going to have to earn his trust, but I’m not going to grovel to this guy. My manhood is not negotiable.’”

Keep shouting that, Joe.

I hear prison is a good place to catch up on reading economics texts.

While I have always believed that zero is financially illiterate I don’t see this referred to in the article posted.

Joe Biden, the Vice President is selfish, disloyal and concerned about his own manhood.

He should be concerned about his manhood, a long time ago, Biden expended great effort in trying to talk to me about voting for him. He gave me a fish of a handshake. The first thing I thought was, "what an f'n fag." The stupid sh#t wouldn't stop talking to me after I told him I was from PA, not DE and I couldn't vote for him. At least I was in DE at the time. That is better than Biden mistaking IA for OH.

The debate showed the Biden isn’t just a buffoon, but he really isn’t even a nice person.

His character shown through, classless, crude, impolite, unable to listen and basically a pile of despicable revulsion.

Except the article did not make a single mention of Obama’s numerical illiteracy. Just sayin’. It does outline Joe Biden being a jerk. And that was fun to read.

Why hasn't there been any mention of Biden being the creator of the BORKING SUPREME COURT NOMINEE CONFIRMATION PROCESS?

So that would make him financially *and* morally *and* mathematically illiterate.
