Biden: 'The Nation of Africa' [Stand Up Chuck alert]
National Review ^ | 8-5-14 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 08/05/2014 12:28:20 PM PDT by markomalley

Joe Biden’s latest gaffe (or is it a “speak-o” now, per Jonthan Gruber?) came during his remarks at the United States–Africa Leaders Summit on Tuesday when he referred to the continent as a country.

”There’s no reason the nation of Africa cannot and should not join the ranks of the world’s most prosperous nations in the near term, in the decades ahead,” the vice president said on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. “There is simply no reason.”

The MSM was all over this when Palin (reportedly) did it.

“According to Carl Cameron of Fox News - insiders at the Mccain camp stated that Palin wasn’t aware that Africa was a continent, as she believed Africa was a country.”

Except for the massive corruption and tyranny. No reason at all.

Saying “corpse-man”, when you mean corpsman, *might* be excused as a “speak-o” (providing that the speaker actually knew how to pronounce the word) — but, a whole paragraph that argued a position, which later proved difficult, is a whole other matter. Similarly, the paragraphs spoken to assert that the previous paragraph was a “speak-o” are not a correction. They’re simply lies.

For “clarity” I was referring to Johathan Gruber, whose name was invoked at the beginning of the article. Either that, or it was all a typo.

Slip of the tongue? Globalists want all of North America under a single government. Why not Africa?

On a serious note, we could ask why so many African countries are basket cases. In years past the problems were blamed on the legacy of colonialism. But those countries have been independent countries for decades now. They have been self governing without any former colonial powers running things. Some of those countries have incredible natural resources, yet are economic basket cases. Why?

If he was a Republican, we’d never hear the end of this.

“There is simply no reason.”

Well, Joe. There really kind of is a reason. A very simple reason. You simpleton.

Y’all don’t understand.

Once the nation of North America is finished, next on the list is the nation of Africa.

He’s as about as educated as the 55% or whatever that voted Obama.

Biden’s doctor found a strange growth on his neck at his last checkup—it was Joe’s head.
