VP Joe Biden: ‘I Promise You Obama Has A Big Stick’

Vice President Joe Biden apparently did not catch the potential double meaning when he paraphrased a famous Teddy Roosevelt quote on Wednesday when he said “I promise you, Obama has a big stick.” The audience, mostly comprised of New York University students, immediately got the joke.

Speaking before a group of NYU students on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden praised President Barack Obama’s role as a commander-in-chief and touted the president’s numerous successes in foreign policy and in the prosecution of anti-terror efforts abroad.

Biden told the audience, invoking a variation on the famous quote by President Teddy Roosevelt, “I promise you, Obama has a big stick.” But the audience apparently picked up on the statement’s inherent double entandre more than the historical reference when they devolved into laughs.

OBAMACARE: I understand that under ObamaCare, anyone who needs or wants a big stick will be able to get one free of charge.

Well, it seems that according to Vice-President Biden, size does indeed matter.

I can't wait for Obama to be officially declared the Democratic Party presidential nominee and anti-Obama demonstrators walk around with signs like this one: "Biden says that Obama has a big stick".

What’s going on? There are 3 threads about this and the mods leave them all up and open to comment. I post a thread about Bidens comment about military commanders reminding him of Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove, and it’s locked as a duplicate.
