Much Better Than You
If he sounds like a pompous asshole, talks like a pompous asshole, he must be a . . .
Joe Biden said the following at a rally in Flat Rock, Michigan on September 15, 2008:
The Republican party and some of the blogs and others on the far right, are trying very hard to paint a picture of [Barack Obama], they’re trying the best as they can to mischaracterize who he is and what he stands for.
All this stuff about how different Barack Obama is, they’re not just used to somebody really smart. They’re just not used to somebody who’s really well educated. They just don’t know quite how to handle it. Cause if he’s as smart as Barack is he must not be from my neighborhood.
Oh?
Joe, we’re not mischaracterizing anyone. We’re doing the job that your supporters in the mainstream media refuse to do.
It’s interesting also that there are any Democrats in Michigan. Talk about really stupid. The Democrat Party has merely destroyed the economy of Michigan, the city of Detroit, a jailed former Mayor of Detroit, the highest unemployment rate in America a dying motor industry, more people moving OUT than are moving in…
Yes, those Dems have done a FINE job. Biden might say that they’re “really smart”!
As for Biden’s windbag arrogance, I’ve never heard of a Republican telling a man sitting in a wheel chair (before a huge crowd) to “STAND UP! LET EM SEE YA!”
I’ve never heard of a Republican running for office with a man who did not appear ready for the job. Quoth Biden about Barack Obama during the primaries: “I think he can be ready but right now I don’t believe he is. The Presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.” Meanwhile, Biden said this about his opponent John McCain: “I would be honored to run with or against John McCain because I think the country would be better off.”
Republicans would not publicly doubt the Democrat presidential nominee selecting them as vice-president while suggesting that the person who lost in the primaries would be a better selection.
Republicans would not call a black politician “clean and articulate.” (”Clean”? WTF?)
Republicans would not claim that “You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”
Republicans would not proudly (yes, proudly) claim that “my state was a slave state.”
Joe Biden, what your opponents are not used to is a Joe Biden who does not shove his foot in his mouth in public. We wouldn’t know how to handle you not making an ass clown out of yourself.
As for Barack Obama, let’s see how “really smart” Senator Infanticide really is.
[Obama] claimed that Kansas tornadoes killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.
In Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
In front of a roaring Sioux Falls, South Dakota audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you Sioux City…I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.”
Explaining [...] why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?
Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. [O]n the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Alabama, he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement:
“There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”
Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil rights movement as a whole.”
[I]n Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by honing in on a lack of translators: “We only have a certain number of them and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” The real reason it’s “harder for us to use them” in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages.
[...]
[P]erhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” -– cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm– and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”
And let’s not forget how smart a man must be to associate with an America-hating former terrorist, with an angry and racist pastor, with an angry and racist priest, with an angry and racist woman whom he later married…
And those are the ones we KNOW about.
Yes, Barack is “really smart.” No, I don’t know how to handle it.
