White House: Obama not propping up Joe Biden
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/8/14 | Brian Hughes

Posted on 01/08/2014 1:18:40 PM PST by Nachum

The White House, in damage control after a blistering memoir by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates went public, insisted that a full slate of events between President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden was not meant to prop up Biden. In a rare move, the White House opened up the weekly lunch between Obama and Biden to photographers Wednesday, prompting speculation that the administration was trying to gloss over a brutal 24 hours for Obama’s number two. “You can decide for yourself what you want to believe,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday, calling the timing of the photo access

Don’t be too sure. Promising free money to any lazy person of any race is a way to win.

Hitlery will promise all non-working moochers free money.

So will Plugs Biden.

Whose promises do they believe?

I think they’ll believe Hitlery, as the Impeached “husband” will be out lying for her.

Odd statement for a press secretary to make, but we used to have an adversarial press.

Gates said that Biden was a person of integrity - but was wrong on every single issue.

Gates was sort of right. By integrity, he meant that Biden actually had positions and stuck to them, not necessarily because he felt that it was to his benefit (unlike Obama, whose positions changed with every poll). Of course, Biden was among the most left-leaning members and was picked basically because the Dems wanted an older white guy who was solid in his left-wing political positions, already elected to office and serving with no major mishaps, and could cover for the lunatic they were presenting as their candidate. So Biden may have had some integrity, but as Gates said, he was completely wrong on every issue.

But like it or not, this was a brilliant political play, and Biden was one of the things that got Obama elected. The older white male voter felt that there would be somebody to bail him out if Obama turned out to be as crazy as he looked. The problem with this dream is that Biden was very leftwing and pretty useless to begin with, and now he’s practically invisible because Obama obviously felt that Biden was either causing him problems or distracting too much from His Holiness Obama.

Obama doesn’t have to prop up Biden: Ryan did that nicely enough. Like Jack French Kemp did with “my friend Al Gore”.

Interesting thinking; most blacks will settle for any “D”. Reagan’s liberal advisors told him signing King Day into law would bring blacks aboard for the GOP. Laughable

It was more a matter of appealing to moderate (White) Republicans and (White) swing voters -- of not giving the Democrats something trivial to hammer away at the administration with.

And during Democrat debates, it was Biden who told the reality of getting out of Iraq is going to be more than a year when Hillary and Obama were saying immediately. Biden is there to give military credibility to the ticket.

This is a fake media narrative to distract an audience, Biden is not the one who needs propping.

I guess that makes at least two of us. If the Kenyan ain’t gonna prop up Walter the stage dummy and I never have either then It looks like Biddumdum might be on his own.

Here at the farm we swear that Dunham was using Bidumdum as the pattern for his dummy Walter. Difference is Walter knows he’s a dummy——both of them.
