Biden: 'The Nation of Africa' [Stand Up Chuck alert]
National Review ^ | 8-5-14 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 08/05/2014 12:28:20 PM PDT by markomalley

Joe Biden’s latest gaffe (or is it a “speak-o” now, per Jonthan Gruber?) came during his remarks at the United States–Africa Leaders Summit on Tuesday when he referred to the continent as a country.

”There’s no reason the nation of Africa cannot and should not join the ranks of the world’s most prosperous nations in the near term, in the decades ahead,” the vice president said on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. “There is simply no reason.”

Biden's in luck - the little suck-ups in the press will 'miss' this gaffe. Just like they miss every gaffe made by democrats they like...

Yes, New York Times, CNN, Washington Post and LA Times - we're talking 'bout YOU.

And speaking of 'the press' CNN has showed us why women should stick to covering fashion and food.

If liberal elite woman had covered World War II the way they've covered Israel we'd be hearing about the children living near Normandy who had nightmares after those strange soldiers stormed the beaches.

The D-Day story: Mean soldiers Give Children Nightmares.

Worse these so-called journalists have feminized male reporters - men who now maneuver to catch a crazy Palestinian running with an injured child. Have these people never heard of stretchers? Or the damage done to a small injured body when it's treated like a sack of grain? If 'war' is reduced to how war affects children - at lease cover it right.

Maybe Fox could look at some old World War II news reels and see how a war should be covered. Sowell got it right when he was stunned 'reporters' were concerned about more dead civilians on one side than the other. Yes, I can just hear Edward R. Murrow of CBS News questioning the unfairness of more German civilians dying than American civilians dying. Grow up guys - the sixties are O-VAR...

Hey Joe. Did you talk to the President of Africa while you were there? What did he have to say?

“On a serious note, we could ask why so many African countries are basket cases. In years past the problems were blamed on the legacy of colonialism. But those countries have been independent countries for decades now. They have been self governing without any former colonial powers running things. Some of those countries have incredible natural resources, yet are economic basket cases. Why?”

Because they prefer to be mis-governed by their own people(s) than well governed by another.

But, to be fair, I think that reasoning probably applies to just about everybody.

Reminds me of when Soetoro was in Hawaii for some sort of meeting and he referred to Hawaii as being part of Asia.

The Men Seeking Men media overlooked that gaffe as well.

Nicolle Wallace and Steve Scmitt tried to DESTROY Palin. ANY, and I mean ANY person that hires these two, plus Mark McKinnon, is a DEMOCRAT in Republican clothing.
