Vice President Joe Biden is rallying a defense of his boss, fighting slurs that President Obama is in over his head and lashing out at "Tea Party Republicans."
In Oklahoma this week where Obama isn't high in the polls, the veep said the president isn't just smart, he's got strength and character.
"People knew Barack was really bright, they knew Barack was straight, they knew Barack was a different kind of politician. What they didn't know was just how strong he was. Republicans spent a lot of time trying to tag him as a follower, not a leader. Well, he's put that to bed," said Biden. [See photos of the Obamas behind the scenes.]
What's more, said Biden, a long-serving and influential senator on foreign affairs, the president proved his mettle in getting Osama bin Laden, though new reports say he almost aborted the mission.
Sending in special forces, Biden said, proved the president has "a backbone like a ramrod." His comments in Oklahoma were recorded in a pool report.

he forgot “clean”
With Biden’s astounding intellect,EVERYONE appears to be bright.
Wrong Joe: we spend a lot of time correctly identifying him as an arrogant klepto-marxist. We really don't care if he leads or follows: we just want him gone.
Mr. Sinclair may not agree that he is “straight”.
And in the dark, so does a 10-watt bulb.
Probably brighter than Joe, but then compared to a 5th grader...
If Obama is “bright”, then I’m MENSA material!
Biden: Obama Really Is ‘Bright’
Shiny, too. That’s why Biden was so attracted to him.
Butt licking piece of garbage.
>”People knew Barack was really bright, they knew Barack was straight, they knew Barack was a different kind of politician. What they didn’t know was just how strong he was.<
Seriously...Is this guy the VP or a stand-up comedian? SlowJoe had to be looking for some laughs here.
He also has a crease in his pants and peas behind his zipper. Or is it velcro?
Where’s the “mega-barf Alert?”
“People knew Barack was really bright,”
And if you didn’t believe him, you didn’t have to ask him.
He would tell us how smart he was in every speech.
“they knew Barack was straight,”
No. We knew/know nothing of the sort.
“they knew Barack was a different kind of politician.”
Yes. Our first foreigner, and Marxist to boot.
“What they didn’t know was just how strong he was.”
If he was reall strong he wouldn’t blame all the bad things
that happen on his watch on anyone/thing but himself.
Did Cheney ever feel the need to come out and say “Bush is bright”?
There was plenty of “Bush is stupid” all over the media and the left but I don’t think Cheney ever felt he had to “set the record straight”. (Did he?)
“People knew Barack was really bright, they knew Barack was straight”
‘Mr. Sinclair may not agree that he is “straight”.’
GMTA. Biden is claiming a man is bright who’s shown himself to be of sub-average intelligence.
Biden is also, seemingly out of the blue, touting Obama’s ‘straightness’. What’s up? Biden must know something he’s not saying. Is it merely that Obama is bisexual, as seems scarcely in doubt...or does he know a scandal is coming?
Hmm.
Saying this does not make it true
says a lot that this is even needed to be said, ah?
