His stories remind me of old Abe Simpson’s stories. I’m waiting for him to mention the onion on his belt.

Biden can’t even keep a straight face. As Obama speaks about unemployment benefits, Biden smirks.

He looks like he is about to bust out laughing.

[LeoWindhorse]

He put all employers under the gun over health care .
And then he expects them to hire more in spite of that ?
What’s he smokin ?

[P-Marlowe]

He's turning over the "training" of American workers to Joe Biden.

A man who has never had a real job before. Fitting. Training people to suck on the government teat.

[mylife]

When does he wear the beard of bees for the American people?

[Yaelle]

Has he said one true thing at all yet?? Got home and making dinner with the radio on.

The State of The Onion Address?

America fields a full team when there’s a game to be played and not an official interfering with the plays.

[Irenic]

What the heck, he shifted gears again. back to school.

[Jane Long]

This would make a great SNL skit. Too bad it’s not just that.

[firebrand]

So basically the taxpayers will be paying her mortgage.

[jwalsh07]

When he talks about unemployment he talks like somebody else has been King for the past 5 years.
