White House: Joe Biden 'one of the leading statesmen of his time'

We are talking VP Joe “Plugs” Biden, right? A statesman? You have to be dead to be one of those. Oh, wait. “Plugs” has been brain dead for years, so I guess you could elevate him to “statesman” status. Otherwise, not so much.

Yes, and Obama is the greatest leader/president the world has ever known. Even Hitler would agree.

Can never forget all that grinning he did during the VP debate with Ryan. It was truly indicative of a very disturbed person.

I wouldn’t say leading, although he is giving VP Al Gore a run for his money as the biggest running joke in America.
