$10 says Biden is lying. Not only lying, plagiarizing AGAIN! Those of you who read Gates’ book, know he lifted and paraphrased the passage quoted from his speech from Gates’ memoir.

Wow. How can somebody this stupid remember to wake up every morning?

You know, 47,000 here, 47,000 there - pretty soon you’re talking real numbers.

Back in 2007, Obama mourned the 10,000 people killed in the recent Kansas tornado.

You don't remember 10,000 killed by one awful tornado?? Join the club.

At least he didn’t ask them to stand up.

Or maybe he did.

52,168 vs. 5,168

Differential is 47K

I suspect a typo on or a misreading of his notes.

I'd cut him some slack on this one.

Now you will excuse me while I get my Nomex cover alls.

He just makes this stuff on the fly. I’ve seen him speak - just another lying liar, but a pretty good delivery.
