The vice president is a talker, and then some. But in a new interview with GQ, he managed some gems, even for Joe Biden.
For instance, reporter Lisa DePaulo pressed Biden repeatedly on why President Obama isn’t connecting with the American public and is instead viewed as professorial and aloof. “So what is it?” asked DePaulo.
“I think what it is, is he’s so brilliant. He is an intellectual,” Biden said.
Also, Obama has a “blind faith” in the American public’s ability to understand the benefits of his policies. “[He says] ‘No. The American people get this. Just tell them. Just go out there and do the right thing’,” Biden said.
Biden went on to explain how Obama’s childhood shows he does, in fact, deeply understand the American public. “Look, think about the guy. This is an African American who had a Caucasian mother, raised in a Caucasian neighborhood by Caucasian grandparents. Talk about a guy who knows what it’s like. This is a guy who gets it,” Biden said.
Less importantly, but more hilariously, Biden revealed his dad failed utterly in imparting a key lesson on his young Pennsylvanian son.

Others might call that arrogance
Yeah, yeah... I have that problem too. I’m just so darn brilliant people can’t handle me. That’s what it is.
Biden: Name one instance of brilliance. Just one.
Gee Joe, get those knee pads out. Yeah, Obama’s so brilliant he thinks hiking taxes in the middle of an economic malaise on investors and small businesses is a good idea. Sheer genius. But then compared to Dim Bulb Biden, anyone would appear to be brilliant.
If they have to keep telling us how “brillant” he is...then the opposite must be true. He’s a complete and utter moron.
I’m just too damn beautiful...its hard for people to relate.
aw yeah that’s the ticket!!!!!!!
lol hahahahahah
lmao
I know precisely what you mean, APL. No one, and I mean NO ONE, understands me!
I must be a genius!
I suppose, to a rock, a cabbage would seem brilliant.
Compared to Joe Biden, a potted plant is brilliant.
Who ya gunna believe...ME or your lie’n eyes?
Seriously, folks, THIS is the reason that EVERY leftist president is touted by his supporters as "brilliant" -
because every leftist wants to think of himself as "brilliant".
The people calling him brilliant are idiots. He is clueless, and in my humble opinion, does not have two brain cells between those big ears. Great orator, cannot talk without the aid of a teleprompter.
Exactly. Just one. Guy has never released any academic records, had both his books ghost written, has to bring TOTUS everywhere. He can read a speech well off of TOTUS - that sure as heck isn’t brilliance. He may look brilliant to Biden because Biden might be the dumbest person to ever hold his office.
ROFLMAO!
Wow, we are really in deep trouble. When the #1 and #2 are totally out to lunch. Brilliant, yeah, he would have to have smart stuff to get out of Indonesia, to apply to a US University as a foreign student and have all of his records hidden, this requires intelligence, beyond that, he lacks.
No, seriously.
He’s so brilliant that about 70 Dems and their staff will be out on the street soon.
