[Evil Eye]

Poor man.

 

[DrLeftover]

"poor"?

He's one of the wealthiest VP's the US has ever had.

 

[Evil Eye]

Ah, but there are more ways to be poor than the material.

WARSAW — Vice President Biden sought to reassure anxious allies in a visit to the Polish capital Tuesday about Russia’s takeover of Crimea, denouncing Moscow’s moves to annex the region as a “blatant, blatant disregard of international law.”

Appearing with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Biden offered the moral support of a “steadfast ally” but promised only modest assistance to help Poland modernize its army and explore how to lessen its dependence on Russia’s natural gas.

More Joe

Fifteen years ago, I was honored, as the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, to lead the fight for Poland’s admission into NATO.

-Biden in Warsaw 18 March

One small hiccup, though: he was Chairman from 2001 to 2003. Poland joined NATO in 1999. Oops. It was actually Republican Senator Jesse Helms (NC) who served as Chairman at that time.

Biden retreats: Illegal immigrants aren’t ‘citizens’

May 5, 2014

Vice President Joseph R. Biden on Tuesday backed away from his claim earlier this year that illegal immigrants “are already American citizens,” saying that while he acknowledges they aren’t actually citizens, they are still Americans.

“They are Americans. They may not be citizens, but they are Americans,” the vice president told people gathered at his official residence for a Cinco de Mayo celebration Tuesday morning, according to the White House press pool report. “In the definition of Teddy Roosevelt, he said Americanism is not a question of birthplace or creed or line of descent, it’s a question of principles, idealism, and character. And I would argue that those 11 million folks who have been here breaking their neck, working hard, they are Americans.”

Just hours after apologizing for using what was perceived as an anti-Semitic slur, Vice President Joe Biden deployed another term Wednesday that some might consider ethnically offensive.

Speaking at a campaign finance reform rally in Iowa, Biden recalled a meeting he had with Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore. Biden described Yew as “the wisest man in the Orient.”

The terms “orient” and “oriental” are considered widely outdated and offensive to Asians.

Earlier in the day, Biden apologized for having recently described opportunistic bankers as “Shylocks,” a reference to a greedy Jewish money loaner in an Shakespearean play.

*reads above article* ...and people wonder why we refer to Joe Biden as the Democratic Party's resident crazy uncle...

Ol' Joe.

The gift that keeps on giving.

19 Sept

While bashing the GOP for leaving women and the middle class behind on Friday, Vice President Biden spoke favorably about a former Republican senator who resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

“It’s Republicans who were involved, guys like [Sen.] Mac Mathias [R-Md.] and [Sen. Bob] Packwood [R-Oregon] and so many others,” Biden said, looking back fondly on GOP lawmakers who were once willing to work with Democrats on issues like the minimum wage.

Packwood resigned from the Senate in 1995 after the Senate Ethics Committee voted unanimously to expel him for sexual and official misconduct. A Los Angeles Times story on his resignation noted that the committee released more than 10,000 pages of documents that showed a “pattern of abuse of his position of power and authority as United States Senator.” The article also said the documents included “many explicit” allegations and that 19 women had accused Packwood of misconduct.

It’s been a rough week for Biden, who is no stranger to gaffes. On Tuesday, he used the term “shylock” to describe people who gave bad loans to members of the military. The word is generally recognized as an anti-Semitic slur, and he later apologized.

The next day, he referred to Asia as "the Orient" and said that “we’ll determine” whether the U.S. needs to send ground forces to fight ISIS. President Obama has repeatedly assured the American people that there will be no U.S. troops on the ground fighting ISIS.

Biden’s comments came during a passionate speech at the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Forum, where he spoke forcefully about domestic violence prevention and the Violence Against Women Act. Then a Delaware senator, Biden introduced the legislation in 1990 and worked to get it passed in 1994.

It was the vice president’s third gaffe this week that distracted from his message.

...here's another gem from the current Vice-President....

Vice President Joe Biden discussed his feelings about being the second-most powerful man in the country during an event at Harvard University's Institute of Politics on Thursday night when a young man in the audience introduced himself as vice president of the student body.
"Isn't it a b---h?" Biden said with a smile. "Excuse me, the vice president thing."

Biden's remarks drew laughs from the audience. He went on to clarify the comment was made in jest.

"I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm joking. Best decision I ever made. I'm joking — that was a joke," Biden said.

The student said he hoped Biden loved being vice president.

"I do, actually," Biden said, adding, "I love the guy I work with."

Biden, who has something of a reputation for making eyebrow-raising comments, ran for president in 2008 and 1988. He also has not ruled out a potential 2016 White House bid.

If you're a comedian, Joe Biden is the gift that keeps on giving...otherwise, not so much.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Please run for president Biden. Please!

 

[DrLeftover]

My guess has always been that Mister Obama wanted to be guaranteed that he would survive his term, and the best insurance policy he could have was Ol Joe in the second seat.

NOBODY wanted that.

If he had picked Her, Barack probably wouldn't have lived through the inaugural parade.

Please run for president Biden. Please!

He's already had two chances at running for president; what makes you think he'd want to run a third time? Then again, given the clown car that is the GOP field at present, Biden could run and probably win in 2016...

I do not know but it would be like watching a comedy skit every night. That would be most of the last list of candidates who ran as republicans in 2012. This potential list of candidates have far more true conservatives then I can remember in a long time.

Like I said, the present GOP primary field is akin to a clown bar...a short clown car, but a clown car nonetheless.

Then enjoy eight more years of Democratic dominance in the White House. To quote Daily Kos's Markos Moulitas, "Demographics are destiny" and given the demographics' of America at present, it should be fun watching Republicans crash & burn in 2016.
