It's a common sight when Joe Biden walks into a restaurant: big, glowing white teeth smiling, a squint in his eyes, aviators off, and cheese-ball antics in full force. The vice president loves this kind of thing, but it doesn't always work.
Take Thursday afternoon, when Biden, traveling overseas in Singapore, stopped at a local food stall known for its prawn noodle soup and fried rice. Veep did his normal routine, greeting the owners and onlookers.
Then Biden sat next to one diner so the two could take a photo. The problem: The man didn't know who Biden was.
"Who is he?" the man asked, according to pool reports.
Biden then bought two cups of fresh lime juice, talked a little more to the owners and went on his way.

Half the people in this country don't know who he is. ;-)

Seriously unseemly for such an old drunk like Joey to be walking around with an enormous mouthful of fake ceramic “teeth” - his vanity forces him to constantly show them off to the point of looking like Bela Lugosi in Vampires from the Moon.

I prefer him to Obama. Stupid people accidentally get things right sometimes.
