Biden riles the crowd: 'You’re the dullest audience I’ve ever spoken to' By Jordan Fabian - 10/07/10 02:48 PM ET

Vice President Joe Biden got a laugh from his audience at a Wisconsin fundraising event Thursday when he tried to rile the crowd about the economic collapse of 2008.

“We want to reward people who manufacture things in the United States, in Wisconsin, not to take them overseas to China and to other countries!” he said to a silent room at the event for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tom Barrett, according to a White House pool report.

He continued, saying “You’re the dullest audience I’ve ever spoken to," at which point he got applause and laughs. "Do you realize how many jobs Wisconsin lost? It’s staggering!"

Biden and President Obama have made frequent campaign stops in recent weeks in an attempt to jolt Democrats who are lagging Republicans in voter enthusiasm measures, in part due to the slowing pace of the economic recovery under the administration's watch.

Biden's appearance Thursdsay was in the Wisconsin's state capital Madison, which hosted a crowd of 26,000 to see President Obama speak at rally targeted at young voters the week before.

The vice president has argued at previous that Democrats have begun to reverse the momentum that had them sliding to large losses on Election Day. He has also taken several pointed shots at the GOP, jokingly saying this week that he would "strangle" Republicans who talk about the deficit.

On Thursday, he took a jab at the House GOP's "Pledge to America," governing agenda.

“The pledge half baked…folks, we’ve been in that oven before," he said. "This pledge is a threat to America."

Sharp people aren’t found in a Biden audience.

I stuck up for Biden the other day. Someone said he wasn’t fit for pigs, and I said he was.

“We want to reward people who manufacture things in the United States, in Wisconsin, not to take them overseas to China and to other countries!”

Every time the DemonRATs track out this mantra, the GOP would be wise to track out all the failed RAT policies which drive manufacturing jobs overseas. Here are just a few:

  1. Card check/forced unionism.
  2. Cap and trade.
  3. OSHA and EPA regulations which have little to do with improving safety and health and everything to do with raising costs and penalizing employers.
  4. The litigious environment which forces business to hire and prevents them from firing nonproductive slugs if they happen to be of the correct group.
  5. A corporate income tax which is the second highest in the world. Japan has us beat, but is so lenient in what they allow companies to deduct as expenses, I have little doubt that our effective rate is the highest in the world.

Freepers may feel free to add to this short list of other idiotic RAT policies which drive our manufacturing overseas.

Shouldn’t he have said:

“You’re the dullest audience to which I’ve spoken?”

I thought these dudes all went to Harvard, Yale, etc.

Maybe Biden’s motorcade can run over somebody to liven things up a bit.

Did you mean as company for pigs or as food for pigs?

He says we don’t need to be sending manufacturing jobs overseas??? How many years has he been in the senate while they were raising taxes, helping the unions which forced the manufacturing jobs to be sent overseas. Male shirts have been made in Asia for at least 30 years, but cost a bunch of money, how many shoe companies do we have left in this country, even candie companies and Neslies are gone. Try and buy a part for a tractor made in the USA, how about television set, where have the cotton factories gone. Actually just about everything for sale in this country is made everywhere but this country, even the computers we’re using check the chairs you sitting on. These old time democrats pretend they are worried about manufacturing companies going overseas..bull! They are the one who paved the road for the transfer from here to there.

You can be smart and liberal at the same time.

But you can’t be wise and liberal at the same time.

Hey Slow Joe. Reward my ass. You are the guys who want to tax them to death and then bury them with mountains of redundant regulation to make sure they stay dead.

It would most assuredly take less time to list the things they favor that help business.
