Not everyone was feeling the love after Joe Biden and Barack Obama made their campaign debut together Saturday.

DENVER - Joe Biden got off on the wrong foot-in-mouth with some feminists and Hillary Clinton supporters when he joked that his wife's doctorate was a "problem" for him.

Man, I never dreamed that running for office together meant you could swap spit with each other’s wives. I’ve never seen this level of intimacy with candidates’ wives, is this usual??????

I think if you caught Betty Ford in the right mood, it was.

When your religion is Political Correctness, NOTHING but emasculated, empty pablum is considered non-offensive, acceptable speech.

I find the self congratulatory comments about his wife being gorgeous just as offensive . Despite his lifetime of having his snout in the public trough , this is his first national candidacy , and not the Imus show .

Guess, by extension it could be a problem for Michelle and Obama? I mean; for the intellectual pointy-heads. . ‘Degrees talk’. . .

He was incorrect in his usage of Ph.D. His wife actually has an Ed.D. which is an educational doctorate.

Note to self:

Next time be sure to add the “wife-swap photo opp” to the list.

Well, she's a Socialist / Democrat so, yes.

So adept at changing the subject though, isn't she?  I almost didn't even notice....

Biden’s “hug” to MO does not look very sincere......

The comments that follow the article show that there’s a lot of women who didn’t care for Biden’s comments, or Pelosi’s covering for him. I’m lovin’ the animosity between them all and looking forward to the convention starting tomorrow.
