Biden: Obama Really Is 'Bright'
USNews ^ | September 1, 2011 | Paul Bedard, Joseph Biden

Posted on 09/01/2011 9:05:00 AM PDT by maggief

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.

Yeppers, VP Joe knows for sure, because he heard that Obama’s mother used to refer to him as “Sunny” and Joe is positive it is because Obama was so bright.

I don’t think that’s a compliment when someone really dumb calls someone bright.

i>he forgot “clean”

And "articulate".

Joe wouldn't know "bright" if it slapped him in the face.

we can’t see his transcripts because we’d see all the lefty revolutionary Marxist courses he took. Must have ACED them.

THAT’S my theory.

Bright? Really? Hm.

The appropriate definition, is “Clever”: (meaning)smart, but in a superficial way.

I see your point but the course labels would not carry the word marxist—all of these course are cleverly disguised with double-speak titles. Trust me, I have been in higher ed for 30 years and I know the game well. Closer to the truth: bo was a very mediocre student at best.

“I would have to agree. He seems overwhelmed and it is very sad. Sad for the country, sad for the people he has hurt, sad for the great damage he has done to our spirit.

It’s sad our first black president is such a horrible man”

Degrading the country is a part of his/Soros et al’s plan. He is doing exactly as he and his allies fully intended. He hates this country and he hates white people.
