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.

I wonder what those who voter for Obama because they thought Palin unfit for the Presidency :)

Also, if I were a liberal I would not get too exited about Biden’s same sex marriage statement, after all that could be a gaffe too …

I like Joe, always have, even though he is a Liberal, which I was also, but God blessed me with enough knowledge to see thru BO’s BS in 2008 and see what my old Democratic Party was turning into, so I left. I always figured Joe was picked as VP as protection for Obama, I mean, if something happened to Obama, then Joe would be President, so Joe is kind of BO’s life insureance, lol! We all need to pray Psalms 109:8 for Obama this November, so that our country will have a Real Americans Leadership again, so that we can get our economy going again! Yes, at least President Romney has the knowledge and knowhow to produce jobs, something, just as with everything, Obama has Failed!

Don’t ya’ll see what’s happening here? These were no slips of the tongue. Biden has agreed to fall under the bus for Obama. Biden has proven himself to be a dunce and Axelrod and Obama need to replace him. He is starting to “act” as if he’s getting dementia so the Obama campaign has a legitimate excuse to replace him in Nov. Watch and see!! Any guesses as to what Joe’s been promised for jumping under the Obama bus?

It is so obvious that “Old Joby” is out of touch, or he is showing early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. He, unfortunately, gives credence to the theory that the V.P. job has no real significance.

No matter what he says, he still will never beat o’s traveling to ALL 57 STATES (of America). And he still got elected. Seems like if you don’t know how many states are in THE UNITED STATES , you shouldn’t be president of THE UNITED STATES. Guess he was confusing us with the 57 islamic states…

Correction: Not only is it a fact that the only time Biden‘s foot is NOT in his MOUTH is when he’s changing feet, but his tongue is also wrapped around his eye teeth, so he can‘t see what he’s saying! It seems fitting that such an idiot would replace the head idiot in case of the latter’s absence for one reason or another. The whole world laughs at the two idiots who are allegedly “leading” this country. Biden clearly demonstrates why.
