Biden: Americans ‘don’t know’ about White House’s accomplishments

Biden: Americans ‘don’t know’ about White House’s accomplishments July 18, 2010

Vice President Joe Biden said Sunday that most Americans and even many experts “don’t even know” what’s inside the White House’s signature legislative accomplishments, in part “because of all the advertising done” by opponents of those bills.

Asked by “This Week” host Jake Tapper in an interview airing Sunday if the administration “is getting enough credit” for the Wall St. bill, the health care bill, and the Recovery Act in light of polls showing the majority of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, Biden said “The vast majority of the American people and a lot of people really involved don't even know what's inside the packages.”

“People don't know a lot of what's going on in The Recovery Act,” Biden said, ”understandably, because this has been so much stuff that has been flowing our way.”

Despite those polls, Biden said, the country is moving in the right direction, saying of Americans who disagree “nor could they or should they” understand that, given the 6.7 million jobs lost in the last six months of the Bush administration and the first six months of the Obama administration. Pointing to jobs growth in recent months, he added that when the “country is in trouble, all [people] want to know is… that we're moving in the right direction.”

“People don’t know a lot of what’s going on in The Recovery Act,” Biden said”

Wasn’t Joe supposed to be the salesman for squandering a trillion dollars? Doing a bad job like the Kenyan, Joe.

Biden’s spin is incoherent.

Very funny stuff. Reads like a high school sophomore screed.

The no-talent hacks at Politico have made everything incomprehensible. Like this:

“People don’t know a lot of what’s going on in The Recovery Act,” Biden said, ”understandably, because this has been so much stuff that has been flowing our way.”

Huh?

In the old days, the city editor would’ve pulled out his .45 and shot him in his writing hand.

I also agree with Biden, but for a different reason:

The legislation is just on the surface. What we don't know, and that gives me shivers, is the millions of micro decisions made by all the czars, and regime-placed bureaucrats that never see the light of day, and can remain for years under the rocks they slime under. In addition to that, behind each 2000 page piece of regulegislation, is what amounts to probably tens of thousands of pages of low-level decisions to implement said regulegislation.

That’s the problem.We would know of any successes if the Obama administration had any.

So far all they’ve had are failures.

Biden: Americans ‘don’t know’ about White House’s accomplishments

On the contrary, Joe. Americans, by and large, are acutely aware of the Whitehouse's "accomplishments". This point will be made abundantly clear to even you come November 2nd....'course, then again it might take a dipsh!t like you until November 5th or so to realize it as fact.....

True they don’t. If they did, there would already have been tar and feathers parties in Washingtopia.

Since when did bankrupting the country become an “accomplishment?”

Biden's in denial.

That American people do know of Obama's accomplishments and that's why he's becoming less and less popular each day.

Accomplishments are not necessarily the same as good things.

Even Hitler had accomplishments, and do did Lenin and Stalin and Castro, and lately, Hugo Chavez and Ahmadinejad. Evil people can accomplish a lot, but the people don't have to love the evil-doer or even the "accomplishments".

What the Dems call accomplishments, I refer to as Testaments to Treason.

All we know Biden is that it is a “Big F-n Deal!” That’s all.
