Biden Thinks it's Funny, Do You?

The Obama Administration has been passing the buck since Mr. Obama took office. As far as I can tell he is not accountable for ANYTHING that happens under his presidency.

How convenient for you to forget the death of bin Laden so you could make that blanket statement.

Just makes our point. Obama only takes credit for the accomplishments. He washes his hand of anything his administration does that goes wrong. And sends out his attack dogs Biden, Wasserman, & Cutter to throw people under the bus. "No one told us the ambassador wanted more security." "Our Libyan ambassador died because of a you-tube video." At least they could choose to go with one lie and stick to it, right?

Thanks for backing me up on lionshead's incorrect statement.

As usual, Taibbi nails it.

"I've never thought much of Joe Biden. But man, did he get it right in last night's debate, and not just because he walloped sniveling little Paul Ryan on the facts. What he got absolutely right, despite what you might read this morning (many outlets are criticizing Biden's dramatic excesses), was his tone. Biden did absolutely roll his eyes, snort, laugh derisively and throw his hands up in the air whenever Ryan trotted out his little beady-eyed BS-isms.

But he should have! He was absolutely right to be doing it. We all should be doing it. That includes all of us in the media, and not just paid obnoxious-opinion-merchants like me, but so-called "objective" news reporters as well. We should all be rolling our eyes, and scoffing and saying, "Come back when you're serious."

The load of balls that both Romney and Ryan have been pushing out there for this whole election season is simply not intellectually serious. Most of their platform isn't even a real platform, it's a fourth-rate parlor trick designed to paper over the real agenda – cutting taxes even more for super-rich dickheads like Mitt Romney, and getting everyone else to pay the bill."

Cutting taxes for rich people? Who was the last president to sign off on that? Barack Hussein Obama. What a flip-flopper, now he says he wants to raise taxes on the rich. Would be nice if we could get a consistent man in office, right?

That certainly wouldn't be Romney. Romney is not the man you want him to be.

Oh, I guess they mean the extension of the Bush tax-cuts that were the result of the GOTP holding the middle-class tax-cuts hostage. (Kind of like the "sequestration" that was the brain-child of Eric Cantor that the GOTP imposed because they were holding the debt-limit hostage by the teabaggers...) I love how they're still trying to lay that on him too...

Sorry... That's not the definition of a "flip-flop"...

HERE's what flip-flops are:

Placing blame on others instead of bucking up is a sign of a weak leader. The rest of the world sees it. Most Americans see it.....unfortunately though, the zombies who slowly walk to the polls in November and vote for four more years of these ass clowns just can't see it. I am completely amazed.

The man is a poor leader leading a great country that has been historically led by real leaders. He is a poor excuse for a president and I am embarrassed for him and our country. He needs to step up and take responsibility and stop throwing subordinates under the bus. Hell....he appointed these people so he is STILL accountable.

I don't expect any of my liberal democrat "friends" to understand this. I know that real, selfless leadership "does not compute" for you. You are fortunate to have been born in a country where most people can recognize good leadership.

You mean the way that Reagan took (not) responsibility for the deaths of the 183 Marines in Beirut? Nope, instead he pulled the survivors out, cut and ran, and then invaded Grenada, the smallest nation in the Western Hemisphere. That type of leadership?

Is this like one of those LJ deflections? If so, you need to check your history first.

In the attack on the American Marines barracks, the death toll was 241 American servicemen: 220 marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers,

Look out, Dog... She's got a link to Wiki...(and a dictionary in her hand)...and she knows how to use it.... (Next, she'll question whether you spelled Beirut correctly...)
