"Governor Palin appeals to a group of people who are generally frustrated, feel disenfranchised, [and] are very conservative...She has appeal beyond that as well, but I don’t know that it represents anything approaching a significant portion of the population.”
- Joe Biden 02.10.10
Wake up Biden!! This whole country is getting frustrated and disenfranchised!
Have you seen the polls lately?
I couldn't let this go today. Biden cracks me up.
On Larry King last night not only did he convey his distaste for Palin, but...
Biden also took credit for the war in Iraq:
"I'm very optimistic about Iraq...this can be one of the great achievements of this Administration."
Oh man, this deserves about 300 eye-rolls.
Both Biden and Obama have vehemently opposed the war in Iraq since it started.
They even thought it was better to claim defeat and walk.
Oh, but wait...now they want to take credit.
The War began in March 2003.
We've been at war just shy of SEVEN years.
Obama's been in office ONE of those years.
Are they deserving of the credit?
P-uh-lease.
And as to Palin, I certainly believe she is a bit unpolished, but give the girl some time. She is just getting started. Matt Latimer (former presidential speech-writer) was on the Michael Medved Show today and had positive things to say about Palin. Here is some of his advice:
"Throughout my time in politics, I've heard various "facts" reported about Republican leaders. Ronald Reagan was a dope, George W. Bush couldn't put two sentences together...Donald Rumsfeld was a fire-breathing monster. None of those things were true. I know because with the exception of Reagan, I met them all.
"Now we hear that Sarah Palin is a moron who can't possibly win the GOP nomination for president. I don't know the governor at all, but if history is any guide, that might not be true either. And Sarah Palin did something that no one else in the Republican Party has managed to do for some time -- excite voters and get their attention. That's not nothing."I jumped on the Palin bandwagon after I found out she RETURNED stolen taxpayer money to Alaska residents after uncovering corruption between Alaska Representatives and Oil Companies. Plus she revamped oil tax policy to protect the money. I'm not ashamed. She takes on the big guns...plus, she knows how to use a gun.

Sarah Palin Facts
Biden on Larry King
Yes the war in Iraq has been going on since 2003 and was no where near an end at the end of the last administration. Now after only 1 year in office it is coming to an end. That is no coincidence. Thank you Pres Obama for cleaning up yet another mess that you did not make. As for Palin I am afraid that the GOP is not well known for picking intelligent candidates so she me well get the nomination. I mean heck they nominated GW didn't they!
ReplyDeleteHuh? The last administration ended last year right?
ReplyDeleteThe Iraq war was not an issue in the last election because the surge had worked! The country was stabalized militarily. What great cleaning up was done?
I think what Biden was talking about was bringing the troops home. Wow, that takes a lot of courage after real leaders put their lives, reputations and careers on the line to win this war.
I'm afraid that this is a clear case Commodus riding in after the battle was already won to take credit for the victory that Maximus had achieved(Gladiator reference).
And again another slam on the intelligence of Palin just because someone disagrees with her.
