Joe Biden isn’t only a buffoon he’s a typically cheap liberal who is there for a photo op with our wounded warriors, but doesn’t see the need to contribute to a worthy cause like the Fisher House.
On Monday, November 23 Vice President Joe Biden and his wife hosted a well photographed early Thanksgiving Day dinner for two ambulatory wounded war fighters and their families. The Marine and Army Sergeant were recuperating at Walter Reed Hospital and their families were staying at the Fisher House guest facility on the grounds of the hospital.
Fisher Houses are private hotel rooms offered free of charge to the families of wounded warriors giving them a place to stay while visiting their loved one.
On Christmas Day Biden visited Walter Reed’s Fisher House for more handshakes and pictures doing what politicians do, but no more.
Looking closer
Recently released federal tax returns filed by Biden and his wife tell a story very different from the one he presents for the cameras.
The Bidens whose tax returns have regularly shown pitifully small charitable contributions did not do much better for 2009.
Their list of charitable donations included:
National Guard Summer camp $500 – the only military support item and $1,000 to various high profile funds to help the people of Haiti.
Nevertheless when it comes to contributing to the Fisher House system Biden lets his celebrity do the work or so he thinks.
Not even the fine example of his boss President Barack Obama who contributed $250,000 to Fisher House could move Biden. Not even the fact that his own son Beau Biden served in Iraq with the Delaware National Guard could move this typical liberal tightwad.
May brings thoughts of our war dead. Please honor them by donating to Fisher Houses: http://www.fisherhouse.org/contribute/contribute

Cheap ba*tard.....
He may be a cheap bastard who feels aggrieved for having been a relative pauper while in the Senate, but I don’t really think there’s any one particular cause that we can legitimately beat up on fellow citizens for not contributing to—even and especially if they’re already donating their time to it.
He's by no means the only phony-baloney in DC, or anywhere else for that matter, but it just irks me to have people I consider friends slather compliments on this jerk, oooh and ahhh, think he's oh-so.
Is Biden the rich person not paying their fair share that Hillary was talking about?
Such a “stand up” guy.
Donates his time?
I don’t call posing for photo ops that benefit Biden “donating time.”
When he helps build a Fisher House or spends private time helping a military widow repair a house or mentor a child of a fallen warrior
or any number of ways he could donate time and do good.
Posing for phony pics means nothing
