“I’m proud to be president of the United States”
Hours before he and President Barack Obama were due to be sworn in for their second four-year terms, Biden told supporters at the Iowa State Society inauguration ball late Saturday: “I’m proud to be president of the United States.”
The audience laughed and then cheered. Biden’s son Beau, Delaware’s attorney general, interrupted his father and told the crowd he had misspoken…
Showing appreciation to Iowa, an industrial and farm state that is home to 3 million people, is an expected courtesy in national politics because of the state’s role in separating contenders from pretenders in each presidential race.
In early 2008, the results in the Iowa caucuses convinced many Democrats the Obama could win the Democratic nomination over former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, now Obama’s secretary of state.

What an idiot.

Yep, and the Republicans for some reason will flock to the state of Iowa which has voted Obama twice and let the candidates dance and plead so those idiots can decide for the rest of the country’s Republicans who’s in and who’s out. I don’t get it. Wow, three million people in the whole state. That’s a lot of people.

VP Brain Fart never fails to reveal his shortcomings.

Everyday, Biden threatens those who think Obama should be impeached.

I bet Biden really DOES think he is the CIC.

Just as i thought there is now way Obama said it.

Here we were told Palin was dumb.

Yesterday on the news I saw a clip of Obama saying that his inauguration next week will be a great demonstration of how we effect a smooth transfer of power in our democracy.
Next week’s presidential inauguration will showcase a smooth transfer of power? From Obama to . . . Obama?
It’s truly frightening to think that these are the people leading our federal government.

That was the plan from day one, a poison pill against possible impeachment that and the race card.

Oh yeah, hes proud. Nothing but rhetoric. Meet him in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. And you’ll realise how petty and idiotic he is. And I speak from experience.

The thing that I find puzzling, is how so many people on the right give this evil a$$hat a pass on this, and seem to be amused when he says idiotic things. I worked in politics yrs ago when he was making all kinds of insane proposals in Congress, being ugly, snide, shady deal-making, and generally superfluous. I guess if I had any wish for the rest of these next awful 4 yrs, it would be that instead of just shaking our heads and being disgusted, or laughing his idiocy off, the way the left does with their, “Oh, that’s just Joe, har har!!,” that we get angry. We fight back against the idea of the 2nd in line as leader of the free world gets a free pass. We need to change the perception that his crap is acceptable, otherwise, come Jan 2016, he might be saying the above, for real. The left knows how to destroy any potential folks that seem to have a chance of higher aspiritions, going after them, making them damaged goods, (Palin, Perry, etc.), we need to be taking their 2016 potentials, out NOW.
