Vice President Joe Biden did everything short of shaking a pair of pompoms yesterday as he cheered on an economic recovery while criticizing those he hears booing from the sidelines.
"Ladies and gentlemen, things aren't good but they're getting a lot better," Biden told 500 people gathered at a fundraiser for the Committee of Seventy. "We're no longer debating whether we're going to slide into a great depression. We're debating what the shape of the recovery is. Is it robust enough from my perspective? No. Do we need to do more? Yes."
"We may be wrong," Biden said. "But the point is, we believe in what we're doing."
Biden complained that critics explain what they oppose but not what they offer as alternatives.
"Nondecisions are decisions," Biden said. "The decision not to act is a decision that has consequences."
Biden predicted a net gain in job creation nationwide in the first quarter of 2010, and said that he felt "bullish" on the recovery of the nation's economy.
Biden told the crowd that the country should move beyond health-care reform as a moral question and consider it instead a financial imperative for staying competitive in the global market.
Biden's pitch included several disclaimers acknowledging the potential for failure weighed against what he framed as the certain defeat of inaction. That included this closing line:
"We may not get it all right. But I know one thing - just saying no will not get us there."

It ain’t so, Joe.
Hey, Joe. Tell it to the guys stuck in Afghanistan with your foolish ROEs.
Biden’s always good for a few laughs. Especially brilliant statements like “we may be wrong, but we believe in what we are doing.” How do you argue with genius like that?
That's all that matters...we feel good about what we've done.
So clap your hands if you believe in Tinkerbell the commie too!
..."and they wonder why I take the train"
Who’s Biden?
“We may be wrong,” Biden said. “But the point is, we believe in what we’re doing.”
Gold right there! :)
“We may be wrong,” Biden said. “But the point is, we believe in what we’re doing.”
Didn’t Custer say the same thing? Did Joe the plagiarizer lift another quote?
We may be wrong," Biden said. "But the point is, we believe in what we're doing."
oh man...thbose three lines he said were so funny. I am still trying to figure them out. I know old joe believes in what he said and as soon as the rest of the country figures them out...we’ll all be in unison that this man is one huge joke!!!
Diff between Dems and Repubs re. the One Party Media:
Bush is Prez and unemployment is 5 pct.
U.S.Pravda: “...worst economy in 50 years...”
Obama is Prez and unemployment (actual) is 18 pct:
“...unemployed people are healthy because they are losing weight...positive blah, blah, b.s...”
In his own words????
Did he really say this?? You mean, like, all that matters is our intentions?? Wow, just wow.
Yogi was funnier. And he was good at what he did for a living.
It’s a real shame Phil Hartman is no longer around. I have to think he would have done one hell of a good Joe Biden parody. Although Joe does a pretty good parody of himself.
