When did Biden say that?  Link?

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/31/biden.obama/

Ahahahaha, I thought he was confusing Biden with Reid for a second there.  I forgot Biden said it too.

They both say a whole lot of dumb stuff, but I'd still rather have a former constitutional law professor as veep than a former beauty pageant contestant and sports announcer.


I dunno man.   I mean Joe Biden actually lied about the way his wife and child died for political gain.  That's... about the worst thing i've ever seen a politician do.

He's either sociopathic or was in a huge state of denial.  Both... fairly more dangerous then silly slips of a tounge.

Any links about that?

Damn. If true, that's really cold.

Oh cold, thank god you said cold.  Hah I first read it as cool.

What about Palin?

People would rather talk about Joe Biden.  I posted enough on here regarding Palin I guess, and no one wanted to deal with it.  People could also get past Palin by naming someone who would be a stronger candidate than Palin for the GOP in 2012, but no one knows anyone else who would be competitive.  The presumption by some here is anyone, even Palin would beat Obama easily in 2012.

He was never properly vetted by the press as they took turns greedly going down on him.  He had next to no experience and never held a real job. And they attacted Palin experience and gave Obama a pass it was a joke.

Never held a real job?  He was a constitutional law professor for 12 years  at the University of Chicago.

 

I was going to come back in here and post some facts people may not know and dispute claims some made but after seeing this post I remember why I don’t argue politics. If a person is die heart one party they usually don’t dislike the other party based on facts but on personal opinions. When I read he never vetted a real job I cringed and said I’d never come back to this thread. Before I go let me throw a couple of facts your way mhsillen: Obama made millions off his book, He went to Harvard and became a civil rights lawyer and taught constitutional law, Michelle graduated with Cum Laude honors from Princeton and also went to Harvard for a law degree where she met Barack; though I don’t know this to be a fact but apparently becoming president was a decrease in pay since they are not both currently working. Don’t forget he was also a state senator.

Michelle just went on a vacation that cost $375,000 that we paid for, so while is pay might be less, I don't think there overall net gain is to shabby.

LOL people are complaining about Michelles trip, i said i was going to leave this alone but if you really care about how much presidents and their families spend on trips look up ole Bush and see how many millions they spent on vacation.The tax payer footed millions i dont have time to find you a factual link but google it, he spent 96 days on vacation in his first 18 months as president. He spent millions alone on jet fuel for his repeated trips to his ranch. You really dont here about his outragous spending during his presidency but if Obama golfs while there is a oil spill America is in a uproar.lol aight im done but like i said if your die hard one way you will never pay attention to the facts so there is no point in trying.

Well, enlighten us about Bush then, links please. And besides the point, two wrongs do not make a right, Obama was supposed to be change, he was supposed to be better than bush, but all I see is more of the same. How many other americans took a paycut recently? I really do not care if Obama could make more money not as president, it was his choice, and I am sure after being president he will rake it in. I really doubt he took a pay cut for the good of america, he did it because in the long term it is in his best interest. I am not die hard on any party, they both seem to spew the smae crap and get the same results. But again when did two wrongs make a right.

I'm not in a place where i can search google easily, if you have google type in bush vacation spending and you will see through the many sites that pop up data based on facts.The only problem i have with what you just said is two wrongs dont make a right? There are also facts on how JFK and Reagan spent many of their days as president on vacation but its not a crime in my book. The only reason i even bought up the bush spending is because people are bashing the obamas for taking a trip and how much it cost but no one cared about all past presidents. I highlighted in your post what all this really comes down to,politics.

I am as much of a critic of Bush Jr. as anyone, but I never got the complaints with him spending so much time at his ranch.   It wasn't like he couldn't do the job there.  So, in the case of Michelle going on an expensive trip, what is the problem?  I don't see that either.

Its not necissarily the time on vacation, I would assume that vacation doesn't mean they stop all work. It is what would appear to be frivilous spending of tax payer money, which on either party I would not approve of. It is the biggest problem with america in my opinion, money seems to have lost all sense of value to certian people. I would expect them to pay for all expenses (even the added secret service expenses if they are above what is needed for normal times) If that is the case that they did pay for everything, fine. If not, I think it would be frivilous

 I did google bush and vacation, and most looked to only keep track of how often he went, not how much they cost. But from what I saw most were in the us to his own properties I believe. And again, I would he payed out of pocket for them, if not I call foul on that also. Too much spending and not enough accountibility

Thinking Palin is stupid,I see you drank the MSM kool-aid. Still talking about Palin when the dumbest person happens to be vice-pres. Please look up dumb quotes or statements authored by the wizard known as Biden. One step from being prez and your still hung up on Palin.  How do you know she is stupid? Oh you must get your news from SNL

Biden quotes:
http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=s&hl=en&source=hp&q=biden quotes&btnG=Google Search

On Palin:

http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/sarahpalin/a/palinisms.htm

Dubya:

http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/bushquotes/Bushisms_and_Funny_Bush_Quotes.htm

 

One of these three's been involved directly in the office of the President of the United States.  Do you seriously want to debate levels of stupid here?  And do you believe Biden will ever end up as president barring anything that would happen with Obama?  Do you?


Yes I would debate the stupidity of Biden. He gets a pass for saying things such as"Obama is a clean well spoken black person"  And he gets a pass for saying that.  That is stupid

And quotes attributed to Palin are actually things that were said on SNL by Tina Fey playing Palin.  And the MSM still thinks they came from Palin herself. A person has to be blind not see the bias in the last election.  They went out of there way to attack Palin and her family while giving President Obama a red carpet to the white house

When did Biden say that?  Link?

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/31/biden.obama/

And Palin Is the Dumb one?
