Joe Biden

**Boon Mee** · 05-09-2008, 04:55 AM

Let's start a Thread on Mad Joe Biden!

Aside from the usual we know about this second-rate hack, bet you didn't know he's already thrown in the towel!

"I will be unrelenting in my debate with governor, the governor of Alaska in terms of the positions she has taken. But I will not do what she is able to do so well, and many of it's not bad. I am not good at the one-line zingers that go at, you know, that's not my deal. So if that is going to be the measure of how these debates go, then I'm not going to do very well."

There isn't as much interest in Biden because he's more well-known. Again, the VP hype for him last about 2 days, IMO. Palin's hype will last 2-3 weeks, and then the campaign will get back to the fundamental and/or philosophical differences between Obama and McCain.

Still 2 months to go.

Didn't Biden plagiarize that Englishman?

**britmaveric** · 05-09-2008, 09:48 AM

During 35 years in the Senate, the fast-talking, often long-winded Biden has earned a reputation for gaffes. Republicans count two since last week’s Democratic National Convention — when he referred to Obama as “Barack America” and put himself on the top of the ticket by saying he was “running for president.”

On Wednesday, Biden made another slip of the tongue. In promising to help Americans if elected, he said, “the Biden, excuse me, the Obama-Biden administration.” Amid laughter, he added, “Believe me, you all got it right: Obama-Biden.”

And who cares?

Since Pinocet ain't in office any more and Hugo Chavez is an Oil nationalizing asshole...who cares?

That Group pic with him and Barry was some piece of shit wasn't it, Obama trying to look official and Biden standing half a step back and trying to look fierce and mean,, silly assholes, both of em.

**britmaveric** · 05-09-2008, 10:39 AM

^ Biden thinks he's running for President not Obama - actually Obama introduced him as the next president of the yankland in his intro speech.

**sabang** · 05-09-2008, 10:52 AM

Joe Biden is a known quantity and widely respected in the Capitol.
I think he was the logical choice for Obama, although some might be disappointed that the choice lacks the 'excitement' factor of picking someone like a Sarah Palin.

**britmaveric** · 05-09-2008, 10:55 AM

Not sure he's respected as you think - egotistical jerk is what most describe him as.

Exactly. Personally I hate him. He's an asshole who likes to insult the Republican party for no reason except that they're Republicans. He definitely weakens the ticket, in my opinion - dunno who I'm going to vote for now (although it probably doesn't really matter since I'm a CA resident). If Obama gets assassinated, I would not want this jerk in charge.

Biden is more respected than you can know. I am an American, living now (ret.) in Mexico and I said to my husband, apx. 2 years ago, when I was pulling for Hillary, "watch...whoever wins the Democratic Primary, will be wise to pick Biden as VP"...and guess what? I was right.I've been listening to Biden for years now and though he can put his foot in his mouth at times, who doesn't? He is an on-the-fly kinda guy, but he is REAL.He had a very tragic start in politics(wife and 1 yr-old daughter killed in car crash just weeks after his being elected to the Senate) and he is a very loving father to his 2 sons by his deceased wife and to his little daughter and current wife, Jill.He actually has a very high IQ and is no dummy, believe me. Compare THAT to "W" for the last 8 years, lol...and compare how very EVIL Cheney and Rove have been and all that this current administration has gotten away with to what Obama/Biden can (and will) do in contrast.No comparison! Obama is making some very confident and wise choices for his cabinet, not the least of which is Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.She will be much more welcomed by foreign dignataries and leaders that Condie Rice ever was.And she will be much more effective. Last of all, if (God Frobid!) anything were ever to happen to Obama,I have MUCH more confidence in Biden than EVER I would have in Palin! OMG! Biden has been chair of foreign relations for years and knows his way around this world.Rest easy Brit, this team will do all it can to help the economy as well as restore the faith of the USA in other nations. I don't know you well enough to know how often you're right, (newbie here) but on Biden, you're dead wrong, sorry. Thanks for allowing me to comment.

Mad Joe is at it again inspiring confidence wherever he goes.

“If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30 percent chance we’ll get it wrong,” he told the lawmakers at their policy retreat in Williamsburg, Va

More evidence this bunch of losers in the WH has not a clue...

Update on Bozo the Veep:

**blackgang** · 05-09-2008, 11:10 AM

^^ Well maybe he is respected by foreigners but not so much by US citizens and the ones with the voting power..

**chinthee** · 05-09-2008, 11:57 AM

^That's a good point and not one many of us considered except perhaps Jet.

What kind of idiot would be in charge if the President died. In McCain's case, I feel quite good about this lady.

**britmaveric** · 05-09-2008, 11:58 AM

Wonder how Hillary is feeling about now??

Yes, he's like a stupid version of Jimmy Carter. He insults the opposite side for no reason just like another member of this forum does.

**chinthee** · 05-09-2008, 12:05 PM

^A stupid version of Jimmy Carter? Yes, that's correct.

**sabang** · 05-09-2008, 12:13 PM

Weird- some of you feel more comfortable with an inexperienced small town Mayor/ small State Governor than one of the longest serving Senators, with extensive foreign policy experience. Sounds very Partisan from here.

**chinthee** · 05-09-2008, 12:15 PM

Sabang, Biden is not the Presidential candidate. Obama is. The chances of any VP becoming President are quite remote.

**sabang** · 05-09-2008, 12:24 PM

Doubtful, but if Mccain actually wins, lets not forget his age. It would not be so unlikely we could see our first female US Presidant.

**Texpat** · 05-09-2008, 12:29 PM

Biden has flubbed more in the first two weeks of being the VP candidate than GWB does in a year.

And he isn't even in the seat. The critics were howling when Bush said Austria (vs Australia) or some other mix-up.

But Biden gets a pass because ...

I really think partisanship makes the US government half as strong, efficient, productive as it could be. Some would argue deeply opposing views offer transparency. But at what cost?
