Thanks for sharing the source. Still laughing at the fit of that name
Only problem with a teleprompter is that Joe is enamored with the sound of his own voice and feels that he is the smartest guy in the room.
His performance in the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings as Senate Judiciary Committee Chair gave great insight into this, as well as his personal, profound belief that he was a god.
ONLY reason in his mind that he isn't POTUS is that a smart, clean articulate Halfrican came along and prevented him from getting his message out to the unwashed masses.
Was his "chains" remark a gaffe?
Not to him!
Just playing to the blacks that will blindly vote for a Democrat Sugar Daddy to keep giving them Gov-Goodies.
Nothing has changed in the Democrat Party since the War Between the States except that now they use taxpayer money to buy their slaves.
I have had the thought that Obama would replace Biden before the election, for many months. I began to think more about it when Hilliary said that she would not remain as Sec of State after the coming election. Then comes the endless Bill Clinton appearances on any talk show that will have him, in an attepmt to support/or not support Obama and his efforts to embrace Rommney at the same time. All of these destractions by the Clintons, in my opinion are purpusful and intendional to intimidate Obama into putting Hillary on the ticket. I believe that Greta Van Sustran uses Sarah Palin for ratings. Greta is a very close friend of the CLintons. Greta’s husband was one of the attorneys for Clinton during the impeachment process. Add to that, the fact, that Palin can not stand Romney. I don’t think I have missed a single appearance of Palin on Greta or Hannity where if Romney’s name is even mentioned, that Palin’s facial expression become twisted and grotesque. Palin would like to appear in the know, or Greta put her up to saying that Obama should replace Biden with Hillary. I still ask the question, Why would Palin even suggest and at this time, so close to the convention? Palin speaks in clichues as of late, repeating the same thing over and over again. The bottom line with Palin is she has not wanted Romney to be president. My opinion, I know, but her body language tells me a lot about this lady, whom I not only finicially supported and voted for has dissappointed me. If she is so capable of firing up the ranks, why has she spent months tearing down our only possible candidate to run against Obama.
On the other hand, Obama has his reprobate cabinet to deal with. Napolitano, big problem. Holder, bigger problem. Sibelius and Panetta, problems. Not to mention his multiple czars that are like little children playing with razor blades.
Two brain aneurysms and a reported drinking problem could ex[plain a lot
Two brain aneurysms and a reported drinking problem could ex[plain a lotI wonder why he was taken on with that type of history.
I think you’ve hit on something (fake or disease). Biden scared me in 2008, because in the ‘90s he was extremely articulate and well-spoken (read cunning and devious) on the talk shows.
I agree, and I think that attitude is party-wide. I also suspect Romney and the GOPe don't want to win, either.
2013 on (and maybe the end of 2012) is going to be an economic nightmare that no one can avert. It might not be as bad under Romney, but circumstances are beyond any politician's control. Whoever is in office will get the blame. If O is reelected and the USSA survives, no democrat will be elected again for 50 years. Same with Romney and the GOP
I wouldn't take the presidency if you handed it to me (I would take the office of king. No president has ever "fixed" a crisis, but I would unleash the private sector, the people who can fix, and have fixed, it).
I noticed that, also. Goldwyn and a lot of others, including me, make that kind of joke purposely.
And the Post writer being quoted wrote, "Alexandra Petri discussed 'the trouble with Joe' and took the VP to task for 'periodically alarming outbursts.'”
I think she meant "...for periodic, alarming outbursts." The alarms aren't periodic, as she wrote; the outbursts are.
Could be the scapegoat obimbo needs to have if he loses. Then he can claim he was loved but Joe pulled him down. Sooths the ego.
…….Sharon Stone and Vice President Joe Biden both survived (brain) aneurysm rupture and emerged unimpaired. They were the lucky ones. When those brain bubbles pop, massive bleeding can occur, killing 33 percent of those afflicted and permanently damaging the brains of many survivors.
………….Vice President Joseph Biden shared his deeply personal story of brain trauma at the annual Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE) fundraising gala on Tuesday. He told the Chicago crowd gathered at Navy Pier’s Grand Ballroom about the life-threatening aneurysm and two subsequent seizures he suffered in 1988. Biden called epilepsy “a terrible lightning storm in the brain.”
.
I missed the bit about periodically alarming outbursts. Very good catch on your part.
Their thinking sucks, their writing sucks... everything about liberalism sucks and sucks and sucks.
It just never stops.
I don’t think Samuel Goldwyn had a ‘sly wit’. I don’t think the ‘verbal contract...written’ confusion was intentional. I remember a story about Samuel Goldwyn meeting with his production people discussing the then current run of religiously themed movies like ‘The Robe’ they were making.
Samuel Goldwyn was trying to make a point about the ignorance of religion among them. Supposed he said, “I’ll bet $50 that no one here even knows the Lord’s Prayer.” Someone recites ‘now I lay me down to sleep, the Lord I pray...’
Goldwyn throws down $50 saying, “Damn, I didn’t think anyone knew it.”
There will be a correction coming. I do think if Federal and State spending and payrolls are reduced it will be fine. However if there is no change in all Gov spending, it will be a 1930’s style of economy. If the EU and the Euro fail, that will actually help the US and of course China will have some internal strife to include a civil war and GDP contractions that will help the US as well. The TEA party has to win and make sure Gov’t spend at all levels is cut.
One other factor that is not discussed at all: Record numbers of Boomers will be hitting there statistical end of life dates in the next 5-7 years. What happens when the Boomers are dropping dead like flies..... Cricket Cricket....
Another Cricket Cricket item is the long term effect of abortion on the ecomonics of this Country. Can’t kill off, 42M people and not have an impact.
As for Othugga, he and many others know he is a complete Fraud, soup to nuts, Milli-Vinilla type of Fraud. His swang song will make Jimmy Carters post Office years look tame. He knows he is toast for many reasons. Othugga will continue his hate America program at the UN with glee and renewed support, minus the Clintons and the Joe Biden types. The US will have to leave the UN or move the UN to Moscow, Paris or Pyongyang, were it belongs. The One will be beating the US like a rented Mule and he will just like John Swift boat Kerry, be tossing his creditials in protest while consorting with known enemies of the US.
I am one of those boomers, and your demographic analysis is correct--especially with the death panels. But demographics also cuts two ways. The rise of Islam in the USSA; the migration of a huge amount of people from the south; the existing educational propaganda of the young about the country's principles that are totally at odds with the Founders' ideas; and the manifest shifting of the average IQ in the country toward the left side of the bell curve auger against the nation being saved with any recognizable form of liberty.
Ah, well. Perhaps fatigue combined with a curmudgeonly personality makes me so pessimistic. I would hate to have to live with the world we are bequeathing our progeny.
One encouraging item for me as a Gen X’er is the home school movement and private schools. The public schools and Universities will collapse in the next 10-12 years. Far too much subsidies and competition, The last of information gate keepers are doomed, that is your traditional brick and mortar Universities. Education is being de-centralized, much like the news on the internet and twitter. 10 years ago we would never hear from Palin and Joe Biden’s stupid comments would never see the light of day. The industrial age is over and we are living in the turmoil of change to the information age.
I do believe the pendulum will swing back to the right and government is going to decline and shrink rapidly in the next 10 years. Currently it is far left, hanging and the move to the center has started. Not in my life time till this election did you have teir 1 presidential candidates advocating getting rid of entire Departments of the USG and some candidates speaking of repealing the 17th amendment. The TEA party is not going away, nor is homeschooling.
My gut feel is once abortion is gone in the land, only then will you see an acceleration to limited Government again. The bell weather is abortion
I wish you luck and godspeed.
