CBS ^ | Saturday June 26, 2010 | Stephanie Condon

Vice President Joe Biden gave a stark assessment of the economy today, telling an audience of supporters, "there's no possibility to restore 8 million jobs lost in the Great Recession."

Appearing at a fundraiser with Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wisc.) in Milwaukee, the vice president remarked that by the time he and President Obama took office in 2008, the gross domestic product had shrunk and hundreds of thousands of jobs had been lost.

That’s right you can’t do it, Joe. GET OUT OF THE WAY and let the American people do it.
Laissez-nous faire!!

According to historical myths, the phrase stems from a meeting in about 1680 between the powerful French finance minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert and a group of French businessmen led by a certain M. Le Gendre. When the eager mercantilist minister asked how the French state could be of service to the merchants, Le Gendre replied simply “Laissez-nous faire” (”Leave us be”, lit. “Let us do”).

Come on Joe......As SENATOR, is it slightly, perchance, a little bit your fault this mess? Did the other Senator Obama help with his career in the Senate spend, spend....weren’t DEMOCRATS in step with Big Spender George Bush. YOU there in Washington....aren’t to blame? Is it the poor guy who works, works to pay taxes, or you fools in the Belt Way., Belly up to the BAR Joe, and drink like a MAN.

We inherited a mess - the universal refrain of marxists everywhere - I’m sure Lenin and Stalin said the same thing - can’t be the fault of commie philosophy or policies - just can’t be that.
