Biden predicted Obama's "genius"
The Big Issue ^ | April 22 | Staff

President "a cross between Denzel Washington and Franklin Roosevelt" ...Biden predicted Obama – “a genius” - would win the Democrats’ nomination as far back as October 2007, according to his old friend Neil Kinnock. ...However, the pair became close and Kinnock told The Big Issue in Scotland about a conversation in Washington D.C. when Biden was still in the Presidential race. “I remember speaking to Joe and him saying it was going to be Barack Obama up against John McCain. He said: “You can put money on it – Obama’s a genius.”

“I said: “What kind of genius? Like who?” He said: “Well, there isn’t one person I could compare him to, but he’s like a cross between Denzel Washington and Franklin Roosevelt.”

“...he’s like a cross between Denzel Washington and Franklin Roosevelt.”

More like a cross between Jesse Jackson and Leon Trotsky.

Please Joe, PLEASE keep talking. Please keep boasting about unverifiable past predictions. Please keep making racist jokes. Please keep telling us about Obama’s future trials.

PLEASE JOE, SAY IT LOUD, SAY IT PROUD!

Here they go again, trying to re-invent Obama. He has been just about everybody from Reagan to Lincoln. Biden thinks he is an actor......which is probably more accurate.

I think the comparison is very apt. Denzel Washington is an accomplished actor that can play whatever part he is required to play, can read a script and act very well. Oh, and he’s black. (I actually forgot that aspect!! Guess I’m not a very good racist!)

And FDR was a commie, and was also bent on destroying capitalism and the free market in the U.S.

Although it wouldn’t surprise me if Obama tried to go for a longer term than FDR.

Biden is sleeping at night with ‘’I dream of Jeannie’’ on his empty brain

At least there is no question left in my mind that Obama is a moronic fraud.

I guess if you're Joe Biden, everyone else looks like a genius.

What happened to the comparison to Lincoln? I haven’t heard that one lately. That was really in vogue for a while.

I don't consider Dick Cheney Joe Biden a reputable source.
