Vice President Joe Biden apparently did not catch the potential double meaning when he paraphrased a famous Teddy Roosevelt quote on Wednesday when he said “I promise you, Obama has a big stick.” The audience, mostly comprised of New York University students, immediately got the joke.
Speaking before a group of NYU students on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden praised President Barack Obama’s role as a commander-in-chief and touted the president’s numerous successes in foreign policy and in the prosecution of anti-terror efforts abroad.
Biden told the audience, invoking a variation on the famous quote by President Teddy Roosevelt, “I promise you, Obama has a big stick.” But the audience apparently picked up on the statement’s inherent double entandre more than the historical reference when they devolved into laughs.

Funny, Sinclair said in his book it was thin and bent to one side.

Why do you think it was an accident? Because Clueless Joe can't think far enough ahead to make a joke.
I’ll bet the WH speechwriters labored long and hard on that line.
Yeah, I didn't think of that. Maybe the Teleprompter in chief had a hand in...

I don’t think that even famed ugly girl lover Clinton would go near Hillary now, with her creepy witch hair. Thank goodness mother nature has taken it’s toll on her cause she can’t get elected President looking like that.

I look at Hillary! and I think of Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep at the end of “Death Becomes Her” - CREEPY!!!
Hillary! needs to try some new spray paint and spackle. Her POTUS dreams ended in 2008. That was it for her.
