White House: Obama not propping up Joe Biden
Carefully parsed word. Not "propping", but, well, what would YOU call it?

The White House, in damage control after a blistering memoir by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates went public, insisted that a full slate of events between President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden was not meant to prop up Biden. In a rare move, the White House opened up the weekly lunch between Obama and Biden to photographers Wednesday, prompting speculation that the administration was trying to gloss over a brutal 24 hours for Obama’s number two. “You can decide for yourself what you want to believe,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday, calling the timing of the photo access

Wouldn’t it be fun to see a huge influx of money arrive for Joe’s campaign against Hillary,,make her work harder and mak Joe think he has a shot...bwaaaaaaahaaaa,,,and then realize all that money is wasted!
If only...
“I understand that Biden is dumb enough to think he might win the nomination and the general election.
But are there really people dumb enough to contribute money in support of that benighted mission”
*****
Oh I HOPE SO!
All conservatives should be (pseudo) pushing Joe Biden for Prezzy,,,hell,,get the Dems to splinter and spend their money,,and if one or more Dems is made a fool of,,all the better!
LOL! That’s great!
I wonder how many here recognize the lines? Most I’d bet do.
Fredo Corleone: I’m your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over!
Michael Corleone: That’s the way Pop wanted it.
Fredo Corleone: It ain’t the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I’m smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I’m smart and I want respect!

Yes! Yes!
Of course we recognized the lines!
That’s what makes the graphic GREAT!
I figured you guys would. :)
Anyway, glad you liked it. I used one of those free online caption sites to create it.
What was the “brutal 24 hours” for Biden?
Exactly. Slow Joe, whose true calling is one of a clown, occupies a job described as equal to a bucket of warm spit and someone really expects excellence?
i’d love for Christie to switch parties and run. He would damage Hillary. His politics may suck but he can debate. At campaigns end he’d expose her.
He’s either hung over or he’s feeling romantic——probably both.
As Joe Trippi (Democrat strategist) pointed out last night .... the Obama administration deftly picked up the Biden comment in Gates book and made the most of them .... the news media was mostly talking about Biden all day yesterday instead of Obama. The photo op at lunch, etc ..... perfect spin and done so deftly, the Obama bus didn’t even leave tread marks on Joe (this time).
“The White House is calling Biden “one of the leading statesmen of his time,” a label the vice president will surely embrace if he runs for president in 2016.”

Things are so bad now that it actually is not so easy to say that statement is wrong. Of course it could easily be called, “Damning with faint praise.” I would not be thrilled to have someone call me a greater statesman than Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, John Boehner, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, or a host of others I could name.
“But are there really people dumb enough to contribute money in support of that benighted mission?”

It is often said that anything is possible but I believe one thing may actually be IMpossible and that would be to UNDERestimate the intelligence of the dumbest twenty percent of Americans and it has almost nothing to do with IQ.
Why would the President need to prop up Biden. That wire harness above the podium does a swell job, and we got a runnel for its ball bearing to go along when he needs to walk to and from the podium, as well. At open air events, there’s a helicopter over head that does a fine job.
