problem solver!

Vice President Biden on Friday gave this dramatic (and funny) account of President Obama’s mood in the aftermath of the Osama bin Laden killing, describing a Cabinet meeting after the terrorist was taken out:

“It was his decision, by the way, to nail Osama bin Laden,” Biden said at a Teamsters convention in Las Vegas, pounding the lectern a half-dozen times.

At the Cabinet meeting, Biden said, Obama thanked his national security team, Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates and Leon Panetta at a Cabinet meeting.

Then: ” ‘And I want to thank Joe Biden’ – and he said something that wasn’t true – ‘who knows more foreign policy than me.’

“

There’s more: “Then, he said, ‘By the way, Joe, I want you to settle the budget crisis.’ So I said, ‘OK, no problem.’ “

:lol:

Thank you Anonymous – I hate quoting GOPolitico, but this one’s a keeper!

      It’s waaaaaay below what he was expected to raise. Oh, and that $10 milion dollar day he had? Another lie. Turns out it was money pledged, not actually raised.

      And as for our POTUS and VPOTUS: What a dynamic duo!

      What. Ever. That Hoodrat. He’s a liar and a tool. Look up the term ‘empty-suit’ in the dictionary and you’ll see his ugly mug. Also see ‘brainless baboon,’ ‘vacuous dipshit’ and ‘no-count bastard.’

      here is the spin on the GOP fund raising abilities vs. PO

      Presidential candidates off to slower fundraising start
      A later start to the campaign is among the factors contributing to lower second-quarter donations. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-money-20110701,0,1446527.story

        RE-WRITE: “Lower morals and intelligence quotients along with lower morale and voter satisfaction are the major contributors to a lower second quarter of donations”

      Spot on! Sue, Spot on! This one’s a keeper for sure. I wonder what they were thinking of when they posed for the picture. They look intense in an oh so yummy way. ;)

    Oh my gosh! I just looked back at the photo and it’s like they are staring right at me!!! There should be a banner underneath them that says: “We want you.” and somewhere in the background it should say: OBAMA/BIDEN 2012. Gawd, that would be an awesome poster. It could recruit so many volunteers!

      That would make an awesome poster! Maybe you should send in the suggestion, or Chipsticks can somehow put it on her you tube channel so the media will pick it up.

      Obama/Biden 2012 reminded me of the awesome sight in the grocery store parking lot yesterday. The car next to mine and the car across the way both had the new 2012 bumper stickers with the Obama symbol in the zero. It made me very happy. Like the new t-shirts in Cubby blue with that same design too. I want both.

      A great idea, but I would edit to ‘We want your vote’ or some such, instead of ‘we want you’, Don’t want to give the minds of the naysayers any room for misunderstandings.

    Those two men are absolutely marvelous….inside and out. I feel comfortable and secure knowing they are in charge. One thing I truly admire and like about them, is that they both came up the hard way. They each worked for what he got! Neither was born with the proverbial “silver spoon” in his mouth, neither had wealthy family backing him. They made it on their merits and hard work.
    Look at the menagerie of Republicans….so many born so rich they have no idea what it is to work or not to have everything they want…immediately. How anyone who works for a slightly living wage or salary thinks any of those people will understand their needs is totally outside my imagination. Like GWB, they just sneer at regular folks like us who have worked all our lives.

    Look at our guys standing there all handsome and in the same pose! They are simpatico. Love the respect, affection admiration and support that they have for each other. What a team; the best ever!

    • July 1, 2011 at 5:25 pm

      Handsome and handsome. I contacted VP Joe Biden, by way of White house.Gov, just to say how much I appreciate all the things He’s doing for our Country. And To thank him for being a great VP. I told him how much i appreciate and respect the good work that Dr. Jill Biden and our First Lady Is doing for our Troops. I also told him that I think that he and PBO make a great team, and thatthey look so good together :-)

      Well on yesterday I received a lovely thabk you E-mail from VP Biden. He was thanking me for my kind words. I was grinning from ear to ear as I read. That was so nice to respond. I was a happy lil’ camper :-) :D

    Only way this picture could be better would be if they were both flashing their mega-gorgeous smiles. Which would melt us down to a puddle of drool. They are America’s top team, we truly are in the best of hands.

    Just some food for thought from Political Correction…there are NO women in the debt talks, but proposed cuts would disproportionately hurt us.
