"Friend --
I'm officially back on the campaign trail. And it feels great to be out there. Because really, what being on the campaign trail means to me is simple: talking to you"
Great!... more ammunition for the late night talk shows. And Biden wasted no time living up to his idiot persona; one which we speculated in 2008 is what got him chosen as Vice President - to make Obama look good and keep him in office simply because no-one could stomach having Joe Biden running things. We digress.
Yesterday Politico reported that Biden offered fresh praise for Obama's decision to send a team of Navy seals into a compound in Pakistan and kill Osama Bin laden. Biden said at a fundraiser in Morris Township, N.J.:
“You can go back 500 years. You cannot find a more audacious plan. Never knowing for certain. We never had more than a 48 percent probability that he was there,”
Excuse me? You can go back 500 years and not find a more audacious plan? Was it more audacious than, oh good grief, the list is enormous! More audacious than the first retaliation against the Japanese following the attack on Pearl Harbor? More audacious than overthrowing the King of England and evicting the British monarchy from the Americas? More audacious than, well, you guys put your own event in here. The point is Joe Biden may not actually be a stupid person. I've never met the man. But one thing is for sure - he needs to put a better filter between his brain and his mouth... honestly.
Finally there's something else quite peculiar about his comments on the Bin Laden raid. Joe Biden was initially against it! From ABC's "Political Punch" column dated Jan 30 of this year. Joe Biden speaking:
“He got to me. He said, ‘Joe, what do you think?’ And I said, ‘You know, I didn’t know we had so many economists around the table.’ I said, ‘We owe the man a direct answer. Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go. We have to do two more things to see if he’s there,’” Biden recalled.
So it appears to be yet another case of a Democrat saying "I was against it before I was for it"... or something to that effect. Stay tuned for a load of "lulz" from the Obama/Biden campaign going forward, and according to Biden, he's just getting started.
