Echoes of Clinton....”I never worked harder in my life”
I’ve had enough. Time for Joe Biden to become the next Cheney.
Lets be honest here. Here is a guy who hasn’t really put in a true 40-hour workweek ever in his life. For the past ten years...he likely showed up at work around 9 and left by 4. If he put any work into a weekend...it was less than three hours. He had no major lawn work or garage to clear...nor was he restoring any cars or coaching little league. My impression of his college years...especially as the ‘editor’ at the legal review....was that he barely showed up and never wrote much of anything...just occupying the position.
So now? Graying hair. No breaks except for a few hours of sleep in the evening. Meetings that lead to more meetings, that lead to more meetings. Decisions must be made, and then remade. Important people paying the guy at the front door to get a twenty-minute meeting to emphasize their pet project or their 100-million dollar real estate deal with the national park service. He’s putting five hours of work into every Saturday, and likely has another five spread through Sunday on various projects.
His ideology is under constant pressure because you can’t put a square peg into a round hole. His speeches are programmed events but he has to be closely involved and waste an hour here and an hour there practicing them so he can portray the “one”. He has people like Pelosi and Reid who have little to no respect for his office or his abilities. He gets various stories from his experts, who really aren’t much to brag about.
Then adding onto this entire mess...the economy is at the worst point in 100 years....two major wars are underway....some radio talk-show host is actually taking some strong whacks at your credibility, your birth certificate could potentially come out at any point to spoil the legend, and the years as a community organizer really didn’t prepare you for this kind of work (but you can’t admit this in public).
Did I miss anything?
