Joe Biden explains why he should NEVER be president (or VP for that matter)

Jan. 30, 2012 12:49pm Chris Field

Alternate headline: “Joe Biden: On the wrong side of every foreign policy question of the last 35 years”

In a story headlined “Joe Biden Advised Against the Osama Bin Laden Raid,” ABC News reports this today:

Vice President Joe Biden confessed this weekend that he advised President Obama not to launch the mission that ultimately killed Osama bin Laden last spring.

During remarks at a Democratic congressional retreat this weekend, Biden explained that when it came time to make the final decision, he had some lingering uncertainties about whether the 9/11 mastermind was in the suspected compound in Pakistan.

“[President Obama] got to me. He said, ‘Joe, what do you think?’ … I said, ‘We owe the man a direct answer. Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go.”

So, on the one major decision that President Obama has gotten right, Biden was wrong even on that — much like, um, all of his stances on major foreign policy questions.

Funny — until you consider he’s next in line for the presidency.

He is not even ashamed of it. Unbelievable. Any man who is deserving to be VP would never have made the terrible judgement Joe did, but if they did make such a blunder they would apologize to the American people and resign.

Maybe we should all respond as to why we think Joe Biden should never have been born. What is this tripe anyway? I have a real simple rule regarding stupid authors of asinine books – If it’s biographical or self-analyzing in nature or context & the author or subject matter is still living, I don’t buy it or read it or generally waste my time on it. History is still & always shall be one of the greatest judges & critics of all time. Joe Biden & his book are a waste of valuable resources. I’d rather have a shrub as VP.

Here’s an actual transcript:
Barack Hussein Obama: “Do you think we ought to kill Osama?”

Joe Biden: “But he’s the president. I mean, you’re the president, and if we kill you, Hillary Clinton takes over, won’t she?”

Barack Hussein Obama: “Uh, yeah, Joe. Thanks for your input. Oh look, here’s a bright shiny penny for you!”

Joe Biden: “Yay!”
