Enjoy the clip, and ask yourselves if you would like 4 more years of this type of leadership. Notice how Biden’s keepers wasted no time in collecting him before he had a chance to actually answer a reporter’s questions, simply priceless.

Joe Biden is a Gaffe Machine. He’s the man. Hands down the champion of hoof in mouth disease. I marvel at the media coverage of the 2008 campaign, and how the press was able to pull off calling Sarah Palin an embarrassment when Joe Biden was on the loose at the same time. This is a man who predicted a major world attack upon America if we elected his boss President, who stood at a political rally and instructed a wheel chair bound supporter to, “stand up and let em see ya,” said that Barack Obama’s popularity was due to the fact that America could, “finally see an articulate and clean black man.” All of that, pales in comparison to what he said yesterday. Yesterday, our Vice President told us that unless we pass the Stimulus Two, Rapes, Murders, and Arson will all increase. Putting aside, just for the moment, that this is nothing more than a shameless attempt to scare the citizens into reelecting team Obama, is on its face a blatant insult to the intelligence of every American citizen, it is also an insult to the peace officers and fire fighters charged with protecting the rest of us from these things. Just to let you in on what the Police and Fire people themselves feel about this revelation, check this out.

This is a room full of Police and Firefighters union members, the main recipients of the record setting bribe known as the American Jobs Act, and as you can see, they can at best be described as tepid towards the Presidents Campaign Finance Money Laundering attempt which he is euphemistically calling an economic stimulus. Gone are the days of sermonizing in front of Greek Columns and such for little Barry O. He has now been relegated to packing a couple hundred or so supporters into school class rooms and small union halls in order to give the illusion of star power he once enjoyed. Begging for applause on his signature legislation this year, and not getting any is not a good sign for a man who’s ego is laughably greater than his ability.

Getting back to the Biden scare attempt, I hope that by now, America is getting tired of the, “Republicans want to push granny off of a cliff and kick your puppy dog,” school of campaigning. Will someone tell me why it is always the vital services that are threatened when there is a budget shortfall seemingly looming. Police and fire protection are always slated to be cut, but the cowboy poetry festival must live on. Our government wastes money like it comes from a monopoly game, but it is always the actually useful stuff that gets threatened when we pull the tit away from the suckling pigs. Our police and fire and educational services have operated for over 200 years without federal support. These are local issues which are supported by local and state sources. This is a constitutional issue. According to our founding document, it is the responsibility of the local citizens to determine what services they wish to pay for, and not up to the federal government. This may seem like a small point, but why should the people of Georgia, who have handled their affairs in a responsible manner and are not facing a budget shortfall be called upon to subsidize the people of California, who have handled their affairs in a completely asinine manner acting as though their generous public union benefits could be paid for with money that somehow grew on trees. California’s pain must be felt by Californians, and it is a pain that can only be postponed temporarily, not avoided forever. By adding Georgia to that equation, the President and the Socialists in charge are only seeking to postpone that pain and to force it upon another state, not to lessen the severity. Barack Obama cares only about how things look in 2012, and could not care less about what happens in 2013 and beyond. Next, our police and fire services are made up of trained professionals. They have been capable of doing their jobs long before Barack Obama was elected President. The idea that they can only succeed with Obama’s help is preposterous. Joe Biden’s, “help us Obama-Wan-Kenobi,” moment insulted me. I have a hard time imagining what the professionals in those occupations must have felt at the time. Watch the video again, and take notice of the facial expressions of people in that room. Consider also for a moment, this room is filled with the very recipients of the giant union bribe that this bill is.

All of this of course is on top of an already ridiculous optic.  This new piece of proposed legislation is not about jobs for America, but an obvious portion of the Obama in 2012 election effort.  Not lost on a lot of us is the disparity between who Obama is calling out as obstructing this bill, and who is actually obstructing this bill.  President Obama does not even have the support of the majority of his own coalition on this one.  The same man who is telling bald faced lies about how many economists are in support of the bill, and what percentage of Americans are in support of it thinks we are not only stupid, but blind as well.  At the rate in which the President is going, his Nomination Acceptance Speech will be delivered in room 315 of the Holiday Inn of the city where the Democrat Convention will be held.  The crowd will be 55 people, or whatever the maximum occupancy allowed by the local fire department, but they’ll  be whooping and hollering like idiots.
