Biden's big mouth at it again
This time it may cost him his own skin -- Biden amazingly gave away the secret hiding location for the Vice President of the United States. Which means if there is an attack and that is where he is indeed 'hidden,' everyone will know exactly where he is. Good job, Joe, seriously you've outdone yourself this time, and that is saying something. Glenn plays just a small collection of Joe Biden's greatest hits, with tracks including but not limited to: 7-11 Indian joke, Stand up Chuck!, FDR on TV (before there was TV), and of course everyone's favorite 'The Villages' where a drunk Joe Biden is singing the theme song of Florida's friendliest hometown.

Biden's gaffe count increases
Apparently old Joe doesn't mind the economy shedding hundreds of thousands of jobs every month because he keeps telling people that the stimulus is working. "To those who say that our economic decisions 'have not produced jobs, have not produced and simply have not worked' I say, take a look around," VP Biden said. Look around at what? The uncontrollable loss of jobs? Biden kept the gaffe machine rolling with this gem: "we have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt". We know Biden isn't all that tech savvy (he did once ponder 'what's the internet number?') so, just for him, here is the link to the Bureau of Labor Statistics state and regional numbers. Ref.

I wonder, does anyone on the Obama advisory team try to encourage Joe Biden to say less and mean more or is it that you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Americans Have Low Favorable Opinion of Pro-Abortion Vice-President Joe Biden
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Not only have the favorable ratings for pro-abortion President Barack Obama dropped steadily since he took over the White House, but his vice president, Joe Biden, has low ratings as well. A new Rasmussen poll released last week shows just 46 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of Vice President Joseph Biden. That's down four points from last month and ties August for the lowest such finding about the vice president since he took office in January. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 47% view Biden unfavorably. While 18% have a very favorable perception of the vice president, 24% regard him very unfavorably. Positive views of Biden have ranged from a low of 46% to a high of 56% in early March. His unfavorables hit a low of 39% in early March but climbed as high as 50% in August. Biden is viewed favorably by 77% of Democrats, but just 23% of Republicans and only 36% of voters not affiliated with either major party share that opinion. Women voters like the vice president more than men. Voters 18 to 29 have a more positive opinion than their elders and African-Americans are more likely than white voters to offer a very favorable view of the longtime Delaware senator. Biden made a number of speaking gaffes in his early months in office, and voters in a July survey were evenly divided over whether he would be Obama's running mate again in 2012. Biden resigned from the U.S. Senate when he was elected vice president last November, and his son Beau, Delaware's current attorney general, is likely to run for the Senate seat in 2010 as is sitting Delaware Republican congressman Michael Castle.
Biden admits 'doesn't do anything' as V.P.
Put a microphone near Joe Biden and it's not long before the gaffes start piling up. The most fun gaffe from the healthcare summit was when the microphones caught him telling someone that being Vice President 'is easy' because you 'don't have to do anything' at the job. But even more striking than Biden's proclivity for gaffes is Obama's gigantic ego. Glenn plays the audio of Obama's incredible arrogance at yesterday's healthcare summit and reacts.

I still wonder if Joe Biden was really necessary for Obama to win. Does he really bring so many votes? Can you imagine him as President?
