Video: Biden taking Obama’s deficit speech about as seriously as the rest of us
posted at 4:59 pm on April 13, 2011 by Allahpundit
It wasn’t a serious proposal, so why keep up the pretense by staying conscious? O did what he had to do for 2012 by checking the “Republicans hate grandma” box and Biden did what he had to do by checking the “sleepytime comes after lunchtime” box. Or maybe not — maybe he’s not sleeping here but actually concentrating really hard to try to figure out how the hell the rich are singlehandedly going to close a $76 trillion long-term “fiscal gap.”
A third possibility: Maybe Biden was awake, listening intently, and just … couldn’t take it. It was, after all, “pitiful.”

Was there something in the air? everybody around Biden seems to be falling asleep too.

I think he was dreaming this.

I wish I could say that he’s cute when he falls asleep like that, but I just can’t.

In basic training when you fell asleep during some boring class a Drill Sergeant would tap you on the shoulder and politely invite you to the rear of the class. You would than spend the rest of the class standing in stress positions. The harley rider and other creative positions to keep you awake. The best was outside where you would see people wrapped around and clinging to trees. Freaking hilarious.

The lady over his right shoulder falls asleep too! You can see her start awake at :16

Disappointed that I didn’t see the classic head-jerk-up caused by trying to pretend you’re awake when you are dozing. He obviously has practice in doing this smoothly.

Quick, somebody link to Obama’s “(Selecting Biden as my VP) The best choice in my life” video.

At the end he nodded.
Media “VP nods, in full agreement with boss”.

Such an inspiration, the O.

You very funny today.

This is hilarious. xD

He should be assigned immediately to the FAA as an air traffic controller. He would fit right in as another incompetent in the federal welfare workforce. Problem solved!
Marco on April 13, 2011 at 7:25 PM
Ummm. Yes. It’s called B.O.

LOL… It’s the Amtrak sleep look. You have to look distinguished while you ride the train to O-blivion.
Key West Reader on April 13, 2011 at 7:42 PM
ROFL!!!! Ahahahaaaa! Thank you for making this miserable life under Obama laughable!

canopfor on April 13, 2011 at 7:57 PM
Wow, I caught myself dropping off listening to Obama. And I don’t have to listen every day…
karl9000 on April 13, 2011 at 8:24 PM
And what the hell is Hillary doing right behind Joe . . . picking gum off the back of his seat?
Trochilus on April 13, 2011 at 8:29 PM
LOL! We keep catching things like this (there was something similar with Meeeechelle at Teddy’s funeral). They forget that the cameras are on them?

It was the riveting speech that did it.
wildweasel on April 13, 2011 at 9:28 PM
I love how the black giel in the back is nodding off too…Obama has a way with words…lol
Rattl3r on April 13, 2011 at 10:39 PM
This is a big, phuckin’ deal.
skeedro on April 13, 2011 at 11:38 PM
Want to bet Obama was taking his prior budget proposal as the baseline such that the $4 trillion cut was actually an increase?
{^_^}

LOL! that black lady in the back ground is nodding off too. LOL!
jawkneemusic on April 14, 2011 at 2:15 PM
Maybe Biden fancied himself an air traffic controller.
