Gaffe-Prone Biden Strikes Again: Calls Mitt ‘President Romney’ and Obama ‘President Clinton’

May. 7, 2012 7:05am Jonathon M. Seidl

It’s almost become expected at this point. In the nearly four years he’s been in office, Vice President Joe Biden has awed the country with his gaffes (see here, here, and here, just to name a few). And on Sunday, he struck again.

During an interview with David Gregory on “Meet The Press,” Biden’s mind seemed otherwise occupied when it came to consistently and correctly referring to who he was talking about. For example, at one point, and much to the joy of Republicans, he referred to Mitt Romney as “President Romney.” But as if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, he couldn’t seem to keep his own boss’s name straight: he also referred to Barack Obama as “President Clinton.” The Washington Free Beacon noticed it all:

You can watch the entire interview, which was pre-taped on Friday, below:

Those mistakes come after Biden sent ripples through Washington with other comments during the same interview. He also told Gregory that he is “absolutely” okay with same-sex marriage, prompting Biden’s office to scramble with a statement saying those words represent Biden’s personal views and not those of the administration.

Biden seems to be a crotchety old man. Or a ditzy old woman. Seriously, is he drunk? Is he controlled by hypnotism? Does he also smoke crack? Botox? viagra? He acts like an arrogant teen-age boy which is embarrasing coming from an old man. He’s unfit. The democrats may giggle about it but really, its not funny or amusing anymore.

Just goes to show any idiot can be Vice President. So what does it take to be President? A narcissistic liar?

Well, we’ve always known that Biden is a complete fool, but now it appears that he’s becoming senile too. Don’t think for one moment that the Clintons aren’t taking notice. Bill’s probably on the phone right now with ‘bama suggesting a shake up on the ticket for 2012.

I have just one question about Biden, and it is not a political one. How the heck did that bafoon ever land his wife, Jill? I don’t get it. I mean, she’s a very attractive woman, a “fox” even. Wat up wit dat?

  It’s called sex. But in Joeys case it’s someone to talk at or maybe to.

How old is Biden? He sounds like he is going senile. Even his government healthcare can’t help him with that! I fear Obama will pick another running mate so SHHHHHHHHHH and please don’t point out any more gaffes until he is cemented as Obama’s running mate. We want the idiot on the ticket. Why no SNL skits on Biden?

Whats worse is that this is who Obama chose to be his VP What kind of thought process would pick the Court Jester…….Now they would like to nominate Hillary to take his place….and Hillary is just as big a Socialist as Obama…..but with Obama still at the top it does not change the policies of Destruction! Then Hillary could run after Obama is out of office, giving us a Socialist Utopia in Europe and the U.S.

The guy is a dolt and the media laughs it off as ol’ Joe. They worried about Quail as VP but accept this incompetent buffoon – no wonder al Qaeda loves him.

The only reason Obama picked him – remember Biden got 1 percent of the primary vote – is because Joe is the only one – other than Maxine Waters – that would not highlight Obama’s lack of experience.

Obama choose Biden for VP, the only way to make Obama look intelligent….I think he is suffering from the early stages of Dementia.

Most of the people in the Senate and Congress are not very smart. They are elected year after year because the powers to be use them to rubber stamp their agenda. Joe Biden “wrote” the patriot act after Oklahome City boming the same way Barny Frank-Chris Dod “Wrote” the Financial Reform act. Puppets of the International Bankers and nothing more.

  You are so right. Look at Orrin Hatch and the way he has voted, plus some 23 to 26 Democrat Senators…I think we are in for some House Cleaning in both branches, or at least hope so!

big effing deal, Joe.
Go gargle some toilet water from a broken gas station’s public WC. – or did he already and THAT is where the brain rot is from? OR early onset Alzheimer’s?

And actual US citizens vote in Plugs and king Zero, Nothing Pelosi, Hairy Sneed, etc., etc.,? We ought to look at our neighbors with extreme caution, as the foaming mouths and zombie-eat-brain thing is not far off. Jeesh, for the FIRST time in my life, I am ashamed to be an American.

More and more, VP Biden is reminding me of my dementia-suffering uncle. You never know what he is going to say, when he is going to say it, nor where.

They need to send Biden up to help Lizzy Warren in Mass, she could use some help taking her foot out of her mouth, maybe Joe could put his foot in her mouth.

Has everyone forgotten that it was also Golden Tounged Joe who said it’s time to stop blaming Bush for the economy and added that “it’s ours now?” Put him on the campaign trail fulltime. Hes the GOP’s best weapon!

At a precipitous point in history, American voters chose the F-Troop instead of an A-Team. Obama The Present may encourage Biden to spend more time with his family shortly, but of course, that will be decided by White House handlers.

I liked President Bush, but by the end of his Presidency it was hard to watch and I just wanted it over with. Thank you Joe for making me realize just how good we had it with W! Man that guy is a looser. Of course his boss is twice as bad, that’s saying something…

He has gone way past silly to truly pathetic. It’s a shame. Next stop…the Alzheimer wing of the local nursing home. Stop making fun of him.

I’m sure Delaware kept voting this Moron back into office because they love a good laugh! It most certainly wasn’t because of his intellect! But then again, idiots begot idiots!

To the Øbama Re-election Campaign:

PLEASE keep sending Joe Biden out as Øbama Administration spokesperson! The GOP couldn’t buy a more convincing reason NOT TO RE-ELECT at any price!
