Biden Rips Off Reagan?

Vice President Joe Biden had this to say today about whether there's a "depression" in America:

"The unemployed are in real trouble," Biden said. "My grandpa used to say, from Scranton, he’d say, ‘Joe, when the guy in Dunmore - the next town over – when the guy in Dunmore is out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law is out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression. It’s a depression for millions and millions of Americans."

But the last bit is particularly curious since it sounds an awful lot like something President Ronald Reagan said.

Oh, Mr. Magoo, you’ve done it again.

He has a history of plagiarism. Why should we expect old habits to change.

‘Oh, Magoo, you’ve done it again.’

He missed: When Obama loses his job, it’s a recovery!

Oh, how I miss Ronald Reagan. What a blessing he was for this country.

“The unemployed are in real trouble,” Biden said. “My grandpa used to say, from Scranton, he’d say, ‘Joe, when the guy in Dunmore - the next town over – when the guy in Dunmore is out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law is out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression.

And when Obama’s out of work, it’s a Recovery!!!

Rush commented on this today and (at least while I was listening) he didn’t mention the fact that joebama ‘stole’ the line from RR - he attributed it to his grandfather.

Rush probably didn’t mention it cause he knows his ‘core audience’ knows the ‘truth’.

[KarlInOhio]

I must have heard it at a little different time because Rush did mention Reagan's last line "and when Jimmy Carter loses his job it's a recovery". Lord knows we need another recovery.

Joe isn't lying or ripping anybody off. He is so far gone, he actually believes that Reagan IS his Grandpa. They don't call him ‘Slow Joe’ for nothing!

Joe Biden plagiarize? Surely not!
