Biden: We Tried Change In 2008 ‘And It Didn’t Happen’
CBSDC/AP ^ | July 17, 2014 | Staff

It appears Vice President Joe Biden admitted that President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign slogan of “hope and change” never happened.

Speaking during a Generation Progress event Wednesday, Biden told the crowd that he and Obama tried for change in 2008.

“Look folks, this is within our power to change. Everybody says because we tried in ’08 and it didn’t happen, it’s not possible,” Biden said.

This country has had enough change and idiots like Biden. We need to undo it somehow.

No one to blame but the DemoCRAPS.

They held majority in the House and Senate.

The bastard in chief was the one who decided NOT to employ the “new tone of civility” that he promised he would bring to Washington.

Obiden and company forgot a couple of truisms of human nature:

1. “Hope” is a good excuse for not doing anything;
2. You can’t push a rope.

“Hope” is not a business plan.

His comments make no sense as the Obama administration did not even begin to misgovern until Jan. 20, 2009. Being charitable, I would say they did fine until the following weekend.

Those who do not study history leave themselves open to ridicule which is nothing new for V.P. Biden. After 5+ years of 'recovery', he is expecting that the low-information voter and the compliant Media will continue to allow endless redo(s) based on rhetoric alone!

Albert Einstein, a person to whom Mr Biden can only be compared to as opposites, made this fine definition of insanity;
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

There is a very good chance that Biden will be the Dem nominee in 2016.

“Hope and Change” was a specific word cue phrase designed to spur feelings of euphoria among ignorant people as they voted for a Pied Piper.

Change didn’t happen? There haven’t been any changes in the last six years? What the hell is his definition of change?

Their biggest mistake .. they never found out what makes Americans .. American.

We are a special breed of people. We’re from every nation, every culture, every denomination, every race, every religion .. AND YET, WHEN WE GET PUSHED INTO A CORNER - WE JUST COME OUT FIGHTING AS “ONE”.

The problem is: we have a president who was raised by Communists, Marxists, Socialists and Islamists. He learned all these things from parents, step-parents, and grandparents. When he went to college .. he just naturally gravitated toward the same type of people.

Obama was carefully taught to HATE America; her religion; her people; her military, etc. Why is anybody expecting him to be in love with this Country ..??
