[...] On spending of the stimulus, Obama said, “We’re going to have to make sure that every single dollar is well spent. If we see money being misspent, we’re going to put a stop to it, and we will call it out and we will publicize it.” Just six days after he said that, the chief auditor of the stimulus admitted that some waste was inevitable. Indeed, three months hence, Stimu-Sheriff Joe Biden has admitted that understanding how the stimulus would “create or save” 600,000 jobs was “above my pay grade.“ [...]

It all makes sense now….

Put a bunch of inept, inexperienced bozo’s in charge of departments, for which they are clearly, utterly, and absolutely unqualified for, so they can take the fall, when it all goes to hell, and it is all going to hell. Obama thinks, when it does tank, as he wants it to…his hands will be clean , because after all….he only appointed them. THEY did the job, of mucking it up!

“I’m sorry I’m not an economist,” Biden said as he was describing the methodology. “My background is foreign policy and the constitution. “

I thought his background was hanging out in restaurants that closed twenty years ago or at the local Home Depot, where no one has seen him, and enjoying himself by speaking about policy topics with people who evidently aren’t there.

Biden spends his days as VP, mostly behind his desk, adding to his string and tin foil collections, and keeping himself amused losing to himself in never ending tic tac toe games.

“I’m sorry I’m not an economist,” Biden said as he was describing the methodology. “My background is foreign policy and the constitution. “

What part is in there on czars, getting involved in private business, abortion, no more “and free exercise therof” on religion, cut defense spending, takeover of insurance, cars and banks, pay for execs…?

What a pathetic loser.

I have two questions:
1) Did Biden just open the door for the MSM to start questioning Obama’s motives, without looking like the want Obama to fail?
2) Is Biden suggesting that the media is making the Obama administration look incompetent or is the media hiding their incompetance?

How can you “measure” something that “would have been” but never was? MAGIC!

O’Biden is a perfect example of the Peter Principle meets Murphy’s Law. Come to think of it, so is Obummer. I wouldn’t actually expect a President with no worthwhile experience of any kind to appoint anyone any better than his car crowd.

Would have been? WOULD HAVE BEEN? Estimating based on an unknown? Fantastic.

Come to think of it maybe Biden is who Sotomayer had in mind when she was talking about white men not being able to make fair judical decisions. If this is the kind of nutty white man you know… well, it is not such a stretch.

Obama is crazy like a fox to have Biden staring us in the face if anyone considered impeachment, etc. It was a brilliant pick that looks better every single time Biden opens his mouth.

Biden has said and done a lot of stupid things,but some of them could have caused major international problems.

Offering to give the Iranians hundreds of millions of dollars after 9/11 so they would like us more.

Wanting to partion Iraq based on religious affiliations.

and this:

Biden to Zapatero: Hey, thanks for all that help in Iraq

MAN, BIDEN IS A GAFFE WITH LEGS: during his meeting with Spain’s primer minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in Chile yesterday, Biden thanked Zapatero for his effort… in Iraq (link in Spanish, haven’t found this detail in any English-language media).

As everybody knows, the first decision Zapatero made after his unexpected win in 2004, right after the Madrid train terrorist attacks, was to abruptly and unilaterally pull out from Iraq.

More examples of why liberals have to always tell everybody how smart they are………because it doesn’t show.

* Appointing an auto czar who never worked in the auto industry
* Assigning the GM bankruptcy to a 31-year-old law-school dropout with no experience in cars or Wall Street or bankruptcies
* Picking a GM board chair with no experience in the auto industry, because GM isn’t just about carmaking, or something

Might want to add Leon Panetta to that list.
Head of the CIA with no Intelligence experience.

Someone care to explain how anyone measures what would have been? We don't really have time machines and alternate realities that the One is guiding us through picking the best of all possible worlds, do we?
