Biden jokes about Obama's birth certificate at dinner
WND ^ | MARCH 22, 2009 | WorldNetDaily

WASHINGTON – While the subject of Barack Obama's birth certificate is still a topic most press outlets refuse to cover, it became a matter of sport in Vice President Joe Biden's Gridiron Dinner address this weekend.

After mentioning one of the Republican speakers for the evening, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was born in Austria and that one of the Democratic speakers, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, was born in Canada, Biden chortled: "Folks, this is going to be Lou Dobbs' worst nightmare.

From there, Biden transitioned to the birth certificate controversy.

How about this gem from Biden as well; same dinner: from Politico: 'Vice President Biden at Gridiron, on Easter and the President (whispering) . . .'He thinks it’s about him'.

Biden is going to find a horse head on his bed - or 'something' if he keeps this up.

And latest note from Drudge Report is that Chavez 'calls Obama an ignoramus'. Oh/lol. . .for sure; save for what it means for the rest of us.

He’s really stupid or really arrogant.

Stupidity and arrogance are not mutually exclusive.

Yes.

His mother told Him they had no more wine, so He did what He did to please His mother, but there’s no verse that suggests Jesus drank wine at the wedding at Canaan.

Luke 7: 33-35

"For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." ' But wisdom is proved right by all her children."

Look at the sentence critically. It says “people say” Jesus did this - it was a false accusation.

No, there would be no verse showing Jesus drinking wine because fermentation is representative of SIN in the Bible. Even at the last supper it says Jesus served “fruit of the vine” (Grape juice) not “wine” and even there there is no verse that specifically says He drank any.

Such a tortured assertion! The wine at the wedding was the best, and folks who drink wine know what has alcohol or not in it. Jesus made wine with alcohol as attested by the governor fo the feast. Are you strongly anti-alcohol?

I’m just going by what the Bible specifically says. Don’t you want to get it right, or do you want to justify drunkeness, which is a sin?

Jesus turned the water into wine at the wedding because his mother asked him to. There is no verse saying he drank any of it.

Jesus was accused of being a drunk by jealous people who deliberately misunderstood why he went and talked to sinners. Jesus wouldn’t drink wine because there are a TON of verses against wine drinking in the Old Testament and when Jesus came to earth he was still under the law (before the crucifixion).

At the last supper the words are specifically “fruit of the vine”, not “wine”. That is grape juice, non-alcoholic. Even in that chapter there is no reference to Jesus actually drinking it. He said take this (to the apostles) and told THEM to drink it. He did not drink it Himself.

Thanks to Joe’s big mouth, we now know that the birth certificate IS an issue in the Obama administration.

Even if it is just to arrogantly laugh at it. They know very well the law protects Obama. Only Obama or his nearest relatives can release the original birth certificate. They are not going to as long as they aren’t forced to by the Supremes and the Supremes will probably keep putting off this situation because it would mean they would get involved with state law in Hawaii.

Hilarious! (except Jesus wouldn’t drink liquor). :)

He sent him a glass of wine. Jesus doesn't drink. Give me a break.

Wine is a fermented product and fermentation is symbolic of SIN in the Bible. If Jesus drank wine He would be a sinner. There is no verse in the entire Bible that specifically says Jesus drank wine. At the Last Supper the words are “fruit of the vine” (grape juice), not “wine”.

So if you want to call Jesus a sinner go ahead and say He drank wine. :)

At the Last Supper the words are “fruit of the vine” (grape juice), not “wine”.

The Last Supper was six to seven months after the grape harvest. There was no way to preserve grape juice at the time. This "fruit of the vine" had to be fermented wine.
