What a fun guy Joe Biden is! I loved it when he remarked at a New Hampshire town hall meeting two weeks ago that Hillary Clinton “might have been a better pick than me”. He went on to say that Clinton “is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America”. Gosh, I hate to argue with the man.
More recently, Joe Biden criticized his own campaign for the attack ad on John McCain which criticized McCain for his lack of savvy when it comes to computers and e-mail. Joe knew that John McCain was shot down during his service in the Viet Nam war and was injured with many broken bones including arms, hands and fingers. His captors weren’t too careful making sure he healed properly. As a result, keyboard stress is a bigger issue for John McCain than the rest of us who happily tap away all day. Perhaps Joe, you should have alerted that running mate of yours in advance of this ad how distasteful it would be, but thanks anyway.
And just this past week Joe Biden spoke out in opposition to the government bailout of the AIG conglomerate. Not a bad position Joe, but problem is your running mate is busy criticizing John McCain for his opposition to a federal bailout of AIG. But thanks for speaking your mind, even if your running mate disagrees.
Gosh, I love Joe Biden but if he and his running mate, Barack can’t get on the same page about these issues now, how could they possibly pull it together if elected to serve in the White House? Easy answer: Love Joe, Vote McCain.
