Vice President Joe Biden at the NAACP conference says that "Children should be educated to the degree they are educable." (July 12, 2012)

D'oh!

It looks like Ol’ Joe was “educated to the degree [he was] educable”.

[TribalPrincess2U]

I’ll bet they cheered for the idiot.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

So should vice-presidents.

Unfortunately...

[Conservative_Jedi]

It looks like stand up Chuck was only educable up to preschool.

[109ACS]

In that case, most of Obama’s sons would be kicked out after the Second Grade.

[usurper]

I guess what means is an end to affirmative action since that's what it is. Advancing people who lack the educational ability to succeed.

[lbryce]

Vice Presidents should be kept silenced to the degree in which they are utterly nonsensical.

[dfwgator]

In that case, most of Obama’s sons would be kicked out after the Second Grade.

So would Biden.

[Farmer Dean]

Joe would have made a great janitor,if only he could have learned when to shut up.

[Jerrybob]

He said that to a room full of blacks!?!?!?!

And they cheered!??!

That's one of the most racist things I've ever heard!!!!

He's an idiot, so are they -- apparently....

[Mount Athos]

You didn't post this to make us look dumb right? Cause educable is a real word! educable [ˈɛdjʊkəbəl], educatable [ˈɛdjʊˌkeɪtəbəl] adj capable of being trained or educated; able to learn

[F15Eagle]

Wouldn’t surprise me.

It’s a good thing Biden has a group of people around him everyday because he probably wouldn’t be able to feed himself.

Hardly a day passes without something stupid coming out of his mouth.

[Tallguy]

That doesn’t sound much like the utopian spirit of Ted Kennedy/GWB’s “No Chile Leff Behind”!

If Romney had said anything approaching that yesterday... (shudder)

[null and void]

It looks like Ol’ Joe was “educated to the degree [he was] educable”.

Yep.

[F15Eagle]

Biden essentially said (this is how his statement comes off):

“From each according to his ability,
to each according to his need”

Does anyone doubt this is the admitted philosophy of his boss with all the associated ramifications?

[Venturer]

“Children should be educated to the degree they are educable.”
...........................................................
In that case many kids would stop at the 5th grade and save us a ton of money tossed away.

It spounds like a great idea to me.

[quadrant]

Children should be educated to the degree that they're are willing to be educated. Which is the rub: far, far too many students don't want to put forward the effort to be educated - and if they're not willing to be educated, their capabilities are irrelevant.

[docbnj]

Hey, I’m an old guy. I’m still learning. So does this mean that I should have bypassed a money-making career, and just been supported in a lifelong time of gittin’ edgicated?

I am sure that there is plenty more that I still don’t know, and I would like a full-time scholarship to go to a country-club college forever, surrounded by comely and willing young women, and with an endless supply of beer.

[pallis]

And some children, like Biden, are a complete waste of education, but we have to give it a try.

[Michael Barnes]

Vice President Joe Biden at the NAACP conference says that "Children should be educated to the degree they are educable."

The commie circles are rubbing off on ol Joe. This is not some "stupid" statement by Biden again, this is what those circles believe and Joe is regurgitating what he is around.
Just who exactly decides "to the degree"? Why, Government of course.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need

[UnwashedPeasant]

He was merely explaining “White Man’s Burden” in a way that those “ignorant savages” could understand.

[jmacusa]

You beat me to it. Yup, Ol’Slow Joe the commie, as are all Dems.

That famous 8th-grade test from a hundred years ago was not for graduating from 8th grade, but to enter high school. If you didn't demonstrate on the test that you would benefit from a high school education, then you didn't go.

Similarly, it used to be that if your test results and grades were not good enough for college, you just didn't go. Most people didn't go to college.

[Carry_Okie]

Remedial education forever; NEA uber allis.

[Pontiac]

Vice President Joe Biden at the NAACP conference says that "Children should be educated to the degree they are educable."

A noble idea at first glance.

However for those of us familiar with Uncle Joe we know that what he is suggesting is that all children should get as much education as they desire at the public expense.

Of course as those who have been paying attention already know is that billions of dollars are wasted every year on government subsidized higher education.

Thousands upon thousands of students receiving government subsidized education drop out of college wasting government money and leaving the student most times with useless debt that they will struggle to pay or in many cases default on the loans leaving the tax payer to pick up the tab.

Just what this country needs; more useless debt “INVESTED” in failure.

[camle]

wonder if the kids has any say in that, or will the government tell them how much they are educatable

[Hotlanta Mike]

In contrast to Obama’s claim that everyone should go to college...

[mojito]

John Derbyshire recently got in trouble for writing, among other things, that repeated intelligence testing has shown that about 40% of black American have an iq under 80 - a level below functional literacy which no amount of schooling can overcome.

I guess Biden is just affirming that. And to the cheers of the NAACP.

Makes you wonder.

[JimRed]

Had Romney said the exact same phrase it would be front page show leading news, depicted as a “racist rant”!

[Hotlanta Mike]

[subterfuge]

Running it up the flagpole for your mob-boss ah Joe?

The longer man-boy obami is in power, the more we look like russia.

[AAABEST]

Slow Joe only wants to see them grow up to become clean and articulate.

[Eva]

Yep, it’s called, “Goal based education”. The Obama administration wants to take the theme even further and make 11th and 12th grades optional, putting students directly into union apprenticeships, without graduating or taking any test. This would allow them to put former gang bangers in jobs as apprentice law enforcement, border patrol, health care workers without any testing or a high school degree, not even a high school equivalency test.

[jayrunner]

Like the Channel 7 newscaster said last night, “You can’t make this stuff up, folks.”

Except she was talking about an I-10 accident when a semi loaded with bananas overturned, spilling bananas onto a wet highway, causing a cement truck to overturn, which made an El Paso Police car to veer into another car, broadsiding it, making it spin into another police car. When all the slipping and sliding was over, 12 cars had crashed.

But none burned, unlike Biden, who has a “crash and burn” mouth!

[listenhillary]

The few that were there might have cheered.

Hmmmmm…don’t think there was much of a reaction one way or another

[filospinato]

Dictionary.com also defines it as:

of or pertaining to mildly retarded individuals who may achieve self-sufficiency.

Nice job, Joey. I guess if they weren’t smart enough to pick up on the condescension...

[rightsmart]

The question is who decides the educability of an individual. Is it the government?

[ken in texas]

I guess Joe could have said that we shouldn’t be niggardly with the education of children. That would have been a big hit too. /s

[green iguana]

Biden basically said “Your stupid kids don’t need to go to school”. That’s what people are ridiculing, not the use of educable.

[camle]

yeah. and soon it will be the government determining how much a person shoudl be educated to, and in what subject area...

[TribalPrincess2U]

LOL

We know they keep this clown around for a purpose.

The only thing I can come up with is Biden being
next in line for the presidency keeps 0 safe from harm.

Same with Pelousie, third in line.

"You didn't post this to make us look dumb right? Cause educable is a real word! educable [ˈɛdjʊkəbəl], educatable [ˈɛdjʊˌkeɪtəbəl] adj capable of being trained or educated; able to learn" NO, its just another idiotic statement. Biden is the poster child for the Peter Principle
