On CBS News last week, Biden was at his bumbling best. First, a woman asked for specific details of how the bill will help small businesses like hers. Biden couldn't really answer, so he first tells her to call his office directly - yeah, I'm sure his staff is just standing by ready to walk us all through how the bill will affect us each individually. And then he proceeds to say maybe "the bridge going across the creek to get to her business needs repair." Oh, yeah, that's why businesses are failing, because people can't cross bodies of water to get to them! What an idiot!
If you need a bridge, call Biden:
Biden also has a "series of tubes" moment when he doesn't know the url for Recovery.gov "You know, I'm embarassed. You know the website number?"
Call him up on that website, and he'll help you get a bridge across the creek to your business:
In that same interview, Biden made the claim, in responding to Gov. Bobby Jindal, that Louisiana was losing 400 jobs a day. Turns out LA and DC were the 2 only states or districts that gained jobs in December.
Sorry for not blogging lately. I've been caught up with microblogging on Twitter, started a new job a few weeks ago, blah, blah, blah - so I'm going to try to blog more often. Starting with:
WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY?!?! The least accomplished, most inexperienced empty-suit of a radical liberal could win the presidency - with even North Carolina leaning blue! I am about to be represented completely by Democrats - in VIRGINIA! Al Bleeping Franken could become a SENATOR! As Mugatu would say: I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!! Or more accurately, I feel like the only person left NOT taking crazy pills!
Of course I couldn't pass up barrel of gaffes Joe Biden!
JOBS is my favorite 3 letter word! J-O-B-S!
And people are comparing Palin to Quayle?!?!?! I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!!
The only religious votive within 20 miles of San Francisco: People really think Obama is The One, The Messiah. I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!!
I was going to make this a whole long post, but instead I'm going to add new bizarre items every day that make me think to myself: "I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!!"
"Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence is to demonstrate he or she knows what they are talking about and communicates to people ... "
Biden just did a terrible job communicating with good English. Doesn't instill confidence. But maybe he can still show he knows what he's talking about:
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'look, here's what happened.'"
FAIL! The stock market crashed in 1929 when Herbert Hoover was president, FDR was famous for his radio addresses and TV was still being invented.
Some great comments on Biden's quote:
...And if you owned an experimental TV set in 1929, you would have seen him. And you would have said to yourself, "Who is that guy? What happened to President Hoover?" (Reason)
kevinbinversie: When the Great Depression happened, FDR was a Governor...just like Pontius Pilate
As if Obama didn't already have enough gaffe problems for himself, he now adds Joe Biden to the ticket! These two bumbling fools are like the gift that keeps on giving! Three gaffes within 24 hours!
UPDATE: Biden: Barackal, America, Obaman Apparently, in addition to call him "Barack America" (see below), Biden also said "Barackal Bama" and "Barack Obaman"
Obama introduces Biden as the "next president"... er, I mean vice president:
Joe Biden endorses "Barack America"... er, I mean Barack Obama:
Obama calls Eau Claire a "big important state"... er, I mean Wisconsin.
