A glorious return to the spotlight for Stephanie Cutter, who canceled her weekend appearances on national news shows after she got caught lying about Team O’s last big smear. The defense here, as always when someone in Obamaland says something stupid and unhelpful, is that Biden’s being taken out of context. Watch the whole clip, she says, and it’s clear that he’s talking about Wall Street deregulation, not slavery. Which is super, but it doesn’t remotely explain the sudden change in accent and diction. If he wanted to make a point about deregulation, however hysterical and unfair, he could have said, “They want to put you in chains.” He didn’t. Jake Tapper:
“We got a real clear picture of what they all value,” Biden said. “Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, ‘unchain Wall Street.’ They’re going to put y’all back in chains.”
An Obama campaign official tells ABC News that “as the full quote makes obvious, the Vice President was clearly using a metaphor to describe the devastating impact of deregulating Wall Street and the financial industry, as well as how Governor Romney’s policies would take us back to the same failed formula that led to the 2008 financial crisis – the same failed formula that benefitted a few, but crashed our economy and hurt the middle class.”…

If I was Romney and was asked about Biden’s comment, I would just grin, shake my head and say, “I have no comment except that what he said says much more about himself and the Democrats’ lack of substance than it does about me. This election is about Obama’s failed policies, the economy and jobs.”
The only “chains” in play here are the ones padlocked around the strongbox holding obamas vital statistics, I.e. birth certificate, college records, selective service and passport records.
If he was implying a return to slavery, then they should just look at obamacare, the UN-emancipation proclamation...theres your chains.
That's the level they are going to wage this campaign on.

The “y’all” was a nice touch too.
What a marroon.
Stock up on popcorn and beverages, the VP debates will be epic. How many gaffes can Biden make in an hour or 2 on live TV? Unlimited potential there.
The Dims know all about chains. They’ve kept the blacks chained, on the plantation since LBJ. And the blacks don’t mind.
Guess what, I don’t care what Slow Joe says....just so he keeps talking.
If any Republican said this, he would be beaten and sent to Gitmo.
But Biteme isn’t the only racist amongst the Dims....no, no, no, not at all.
