Middle Class Joe

There's a great call on the Wall Street Journal today in the coming down of Joseph Biden and think it -- and keen tonight. Keene State College anything remotely colorful says William Byrne will generate another round of new stories about the -- Prone vice president and again in some ways that's become mr. Biden's role. In mr. Biden's case is reputation as resonant bonehead brings at least one benefit distracts folks from asking whether the administration's record really shows mr. Obama is as brilliant and who wants to as we're constantly told he has. In other words. As the old saying goes in the kingdom of the blind the one -- man shall leave. Mr. Biden came with a long record here appropriating not only the words but the coal miner ancestors of British labour leader they are saying you can't going to a 7-Eleven. Unless you have a slight Indian accent there again hailing mr. Obama as a clean African American. The difference between then and now then these remarks were hailed as an endearing sign of Virginia won this sighs sadly lacking in Washington. That was the argument advanced by David Brooks in the New York Times in August 2008 the rim under the headline hoping it's -- American voters he said work quote Smart enough to forgive the junior wind flaws of Jen you wine people on quote. The superlatives were flowing two days later in the Washington Post. Descriptions included unassailable foreign policy credentials good natured serious. And truly qualified the political maturity in foreign policy grow up so all acts. In other words whatever miscues mr. Buffett was a respected. Washington figure and whine about it. The senator from Delaware and earned the respect the old fashioned way by embracing virtually every enthusiasm but -- wisdom inside the beltway. On foreign policy alone mr. Biden helped cut off aid to south Vietnam in 1975 after the north invaded. He pushed for arms control while opposing the Reagan military build up he voted against BS BI strategic defense initiative voted against the first gulf war and so on down the line. Now he's become a punchline for late night television. Of course -- makes the vice president a great convenience for our late night comics. It relieves them of having to do when he jokes at mr. six points. After wallets on his home mr. Obama has gone -- what's. He's told us America has 57 states call them Al menos -- -- during a visit to South America. And hailed his reforms for bringing quote inefficiencies to our health care system unquote. The president's gaps however simply not echoed the way the vice president -- wonder why that is. What is Obama get a pass while Biden doesn't. Perhaps that's because casting mr. and mr. Biden is a fool was weighing the ticket down helped the president escape accountability for his own agenda. Just how wise for example wasn't from mr. Obama -- for the economy in favor of highly unpopular health care bill also cost him democratic house. Is it mr. Biden mr. Obama was policies that kept broke sluggish and unemployment north of 8%. And was right -- contraceptive mandate. Say this too for mr. Biden's latest gaps that have the virtual being true. The 70000 plus West Virginians who voted for Texas Prisoner of War. Surely. Signaling frustration. Certainly mr. Biden is more loquacious than most Paulson said more than your shares of -- what makes it different in 2012 is that the same beltway establishment the once hailed mr. Biden for speaking his mind now finds that highly inconvenient. In other words for President Obama to remain all wise and wonderful what this record mr. Biden has to be stupid. So this is why there there's there's more talk. These days that that that Hillary Clinton is going to be yeah he is going to be put on the ticket I still don't believe it's gonna happen. I think yeah you know I I don't think. Obama could deal with the clintons only can deal with Bill Clinton in particular football pro model the Q likes very much. And it you know the thing is -- -- Arafat about this before but there there is that. Argument to be made that as long as you have somebody as calm as Joseph Biden underneath -- He really doesn't matter how dumb you war because you're gonna look Smart you know. Would say Obama is of average intelligence at best but since the vice president is obviously a lower average intelligence. Despite what he says. Obama looks okay. So I I would think Obama's probably got to keep them on the ticket I I still I still believe that. 1877469432218774694322. What you what you think to think that your. You win the Morse on the other a couple of weeks ago and -- -- is Hillary running in my opinion in the 2016. You know whether she runs for vice president now wins or loses when she goes on for vice president now when -- was. He says if she's -- and she's she's running nine in 2012. In twenty to sixteen excuse me like I by tend to agree with them. 18774694322. It just in you'll get rid of them to it's it's a sign that he had bad judgment.

Least it wouldn't be an insult. Build your next with Howie -- go ahead bill. I hope like daylight for Hillary Clinton stays we don't need she is just as bad as Obama. But Booker and -- left wing and justice Marxist and shut as radical. Yes she is now -- can thank. Number they've decided. The service you ago. And probably quote achieve Barbara -- Boxer rally yes we're gonna take things away through on the common for the common good that is Communist. That and how it only is eight is it cheap just as bad you don't want the clintons and slime. Obama -- slime and. He wanted to be able bill I don't want bill I don't want India you know I want. And it and it look at that by the that a big -- open and I mean we've got to get these to try out there and and the whole look at this and travel I'll give it to. Did you call them to try -- bill you are you insinuating that well don't Obama said he has -- Indian blood to -- so I don't. Yet that I think about the -- state that you will submit our -- shall.
