"Thanks for Nothin', Joe!" (Biden Outs Obama on Not Attending Foreign Affairs Meetings)

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joe Biden, D-Del., had previously told Meet the Press that "the reason Obama didn't hold a hearing on NATO, I chair the committee. Every one of those committee hearings are held at full committee."

But today Biden decided to take his defense of Obama one step further, writing to DeMint that there have been plenty of hearings on European Affairs, they've just been held at the "full committee level."

But Biden's letter brought attention to the fact that Obama did not attend two of those three hearings -- and for the third, on March 8, 2007, Obama only asked one question, one unrelated to Afghanistan.

How do I know the latter fact? From an August 2007 press release from Biden himself, when he was running for president.

"BIDEN CAMPAIGN CONGRATULATES SEN. OBAMA FOR JOHNNY-COME-LATELY POSITION," it read. Noting that at the March 2007 hearing, "Sen. Obama asked one question that was unrelated to Taliban or Afghanistan."

Thanks, Joe!

How dare they attack the Messiah while he is overseas.

[ilgipper]

so his experience is chairing a sub-committee that does not even get to hold it’s own hearings. Obviously, he is prepared to lead the nation.

[ari-freedom]

Blasphemer! The One is not ‘overseas.’ He is everywhere at all times.

[teletech]

Well, I guess there goes Biden’s chance as Obamy’s VP.

[GQuagmire]

No Cabinet post for you, Joe..........

“But Biden’s letter brought attention to the fact that Obama did not attend two of those three hearings..”

Ooops, there goes the Sec. of Defense offer.

[Dog]

He didn’t get the nickname “SLOW JOE” Biden becuase he was slow afoot.

[AndyJackson]

Blasphemer! The One is everywhere

ROTFLMAO.

[pipecorp]

Its the tumor helper, when they realized they had removed too much brain they left in extra tumor to keep his ears from slamming together.

"BIDEN CAMPAIGN CONGRATULATES SEN. OBAMA FOR JOHNNY-COME-LATELY POSITION," it read. Noting that at the March 2007 hearing, "Sen. Obama asked one question that was unrelated to Taliban or Afghanistan."

ROFLMAO!!! Joe Biden outs Obambi as a useless no-show flake...... I'm only amazed that the Clintonistas did not manage to make an issue of this 6 months ago -- I thought they were supposed to have a thorough opposition research dept.....

So not only does Obambi do nothing with his Chairmanship of the sub-committee, but he does nothing as a member of the full committee, either.

[TNCMAXQ]

Wow I have read a few articles by Jake Tapper that are negative towards the sainted Obama. Maybe he is mad Hillary did not make it. Anyway, when the lefty media starts to crumble, it is a bad sign for the Dems.

[HKMk23]

So, what Biden’s REALLY saying is that The Empty Suit Formerly Named Obama is even more vacuous than previously thought?

Wow. I think now I can almost vizualize whirled peas.

[gathersnomoss]

Yeah, this was the lead story on all of the network and cable news outlets. Yeah, that's the ticket.

The Magic Negro could be caught in a Monica Lewinsky Moment, and his approval rating would go up.

You have to know that secularists back The Suit 110%.

[kickonly88]

Is it just me or ( in the words of the late Gorilla Monsoon) are the Clintons most conspicuous by their absence. I haven’t heard much out of their camp lately. Letting Obama have all the rope that is neccesary, maybe?

[WOSG]

Careful, Tapper, you risk deconstructing the Oba-messiah.
No re-education camp soup for you!
