Upside Down in More Ways Than One
August 23rd 2008 14:40
So Barack Obama has selected Joe Biden to be his VP... Hmmm... We'll see how long that lasts. Will Mr. Biden graciously step aside if the outpouring of love for Hillary at the convention demands that she have a place on the ticket? If he's smart, he will.
I don't know a great deal about Joe Biden. Apparently he has a high tolerance for shame and humiliation, being a Democrat during the Clinton years proved that. He would have to be a "glutton for punishment" to be Obama's Vice President, though. Imagine having to constantly apologize and explain that your "boss" isn't the anti-American moron he appears to be? Try it on for a moment, folks. Pretend you're Vice President Biden at a press conference.
"Mr. Biden, have you explained to the President that we only have fifty states?"
"Mr. Biden, when the teleprompter broke down during the State Of The Union Speech, why did President Obama start mumbling about 'hope and change' and sound like he was still running for office?"
"Mr. Biden, we understand that Pres. Obama doesn't believe in celebrating Christmas, but can you explain to us why the White House won't be decorated and there won't be a national Christmas tree this year?"
"Mr. Biden, can you explain why the president has nominated Dr. George Tiller for the Supreme Court? He's a famous abortionist, but don't the justices have to be able to practice law?"
"Mr. Biden, how do you feel about Secretary of State John Murtha suggesting that we remove our troops from South Korea? Won't that enable Kim Jong Il to take over?"
"Mr. Biden, do you believe that President Obama was right to take the advice of his National Security Advisor, former president Jimmy Carter, and sever ties with Israel?"
"Mr. Biden, are you satisfied with President Obama's new tax proposal? Or do you think that 42% is excessive for families making $30,000 a year?"
"Mr. Biden, can you tell us how the Secretary of Education, Sheila Jackson Lee plans to outlaw home school and lower the kindergarten age limit to three? Won't there be some objections from Congress?"
"Mr. Biden, Surgeon General Howard Dean has said he plans to make cigarette smoking illegal in the United States. Does President Obama intend to quit smoking now?"
"Mr. Biden, can you tell us why the wind and solar energy that replaced petroleum products has resulted in so many devastating blackouts across the country?"
"Mr. Biden, now that Guantanamo has been closed and all the prisoners released, do you see a connection between that and the new rash of terrorist bombings all over the country?"
"Mr. Biden, Homeland Security Chief, Al Gore says that pollution is the biggest threat we face, not terrorism. Do you think that President Obama was right to cancel passenger and luggage screening at our airports and ground half of our airplanes because they failed to meet the new pollution standards? And do you think his decision had anything to do with the last twenty-five plane crashes?"
Yep, Mr. Biden would have his hands full, explaining things, wouldn't he? Why would anyone want to be second in command to a radical extremist with bad judgment and no experience? Maybe Mr. Biden's judgment isn't all that great, either.
On the other hand, the symbol for the Democrat convention is a picture of Barack Hussein Obama in front of an upside down American flag. That is the well-known signal for distress. Could it be a little hint of what's to come?
Really Long Link

On a better note, I just wanted to say how incredibly nice it is to come here and not see raving psychotics... did you have to draw them a map back to the swamp and lead them back under their rocks or did they go willingly? Just curious. Hey maybe they got a life.... nah, they're not that smart. Anyway, it is a much better read without the garbage, tell me your secret some day.
I will be forwarding this to my friends and referring in my chat room. Have a good day SL.

When Joe Biden entered the United States Senate:
John McCain was in his fifth year of captivity at the Hanoi Hilton.
Barry Obama was eight.
Nixon was starting his second term as President.
