Joe Biden on College Cheerleaders: ‘The Stuff They Do on Hard Wood, It Blows My Mind’

Vice President Joe Biden speaks to supporters from the steps of the State House in Concord, N.H., Friday, Sept. 21, 2012. (Credit: AP)
Vice President Joe Biden has a lot of respect for college cheerleaders. In fact, he said they are “the best athletes in college” during a campaign stop on Friday.
However, Biden, as he has become famous for doing, made an extremely awkward statement to get his point across while trying to compliment to a group of high school cheerleaders at Newport High School in Newport, N.H.
“He cradled a football under his arm as he spoke” to about 100 students “waiting for him in a semi-circle,” the pool report reads, written by The New York Times’ Trip Gabriel.
After asking which sports teams were represented in the crowd, “football, soccer, lacrosse and cross-country. Any others? He asked.”
“Cheerleaders,” a group of girls shouted, the pool report states.
βGuess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,ββ Biden told them. βYou think, Iβm joking, theyβre almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.ββ
Unfortunately, no video of the remarks was readily available.

Posted on September 21, 2012 at 9:32pmWhen Joe mentions his ” mind,” you know there is deep wisdom and politicking to follow . But am sure he is happy about his fate – he didn’t get thrown under the Obama Ground Force One bus . Joe needs to thank Palin for that one .

Posted on September 22, 2012 at 5:37amDear Joe,
You’re mind has been blown for a long time. The Botox is paralyzing more than you’re facial muscles.
And I think your eyelids have been snipped one too many a time and your upper face pulled so tight over your skull as to render you almost expressionless. Or maybe that’s the Botox.
Your tax dollars hard at work.

As we all know well, this country is off the rails like never before and I am beginning to believe it may never ever be its self again. Third world dump we’re just 6 months away from in all estimates and I can tell you with a father and brother who are both ”Romney rich” investment bankers, if Obama wins this election by thief or ballot box, the nation will hit a helllstorm we never dreamed of for anyone not independently wealthy.

Posted on September 21, 2012 at 9:40pmThere is no one in Congress with the courage to do anything about Barry, no matter what he does he is impeachment proof.
If he wins a second term and Congress is controlled by Republicans, both House and Senate….still no chance of impeachment.
Why? Because both the Republicans and Democrats knowingly assisted in getting a known illegible candidate on the ballot and elected in 2008. If Congress tried to impeach Obama they risk revealing the truth about their complicity in the “biggest hoax in American history, (thank you Clint Eastwood).
For that reason more than any other, Congress will never impeach Obama……it’s more to protect themselves than to protect Obama.The thought of prison time is a great motivator to continue the cover-up for as long as possible.

My purpose for being here is to prove a point that none of you along with the GOP can refute the facts that Bill Clinton said in his DNC speech regarding why Obama deserves a second term. He exposed the true intent of the GOP. Here is an example
βIn Tampa, the Republican argument against the presidentβs re- election was actually pretty simple, pretty snappy. It went something like this: βWe left him a total mess. He hasnβt cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in.β” -Bill Clinton 2012

Insult the Democrats all you want but the fact is Obama cut taxes for 95% of the people in 2010
“Now, why do I believe it? I’m fixing to tell you why. I believe it because President Obama’s approach embodies the values, the ideas, and the direction America has to take to build a 21st-century version of the American dream, a nation of shared opportunities, shared responsibilities, shared prosperity, a shared sense of community.So let’s get back to the story. In 2010, as the president’s recovery program kicked in, the job losses stopped and things began to turn around. The Recovery Act saved or created millions of jobs and cut taxes — let me say this again — cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people.”-Bill Clinton 2012 DNC speech

Posted on September 21, 2012 at 9:54pmNow to address your Clinton statement. We can blame the collapse of the economy on previous acts. But you need to be intellectually honest and look for the root of the weed. GW was no friend to conservatives in a lot of areas. But it was not all his fault. It takes legislation (unless you are Obama who acts outside of the Constitution) to pass bills that are ultimately signed by the President. Then you need to identify the specific bills and changes throughout history. A couple of examples are during Johnson’s term the SS trust was placed into the general fund. Another example would be to follow the bouncing ball that is the CRA. Your guy Clinton had a field day placing that thing on steroids not to mention Chris Dodd and Barney Frank.
Be intellectually honest with yourself at least. Otherwise you will regret your party loyalty when the truth hits you square.

In order to offset the cut Obama will have to borrow money from another lender to re-fund the missing money. He also has no claim to say he did anything on the “Bush tax cuts” as he was forced to sign the extension and is again playing chicken with it.

Posted on September 21, 2012 at 9:01pmI had a friend who ran a restaurant at one of the finer hotels in Washington DC about 8 years ago.
Here’s a little anecdote of his experience:
Middle Class Joe’s wife has a strange aversion. She refused food from male waiters whose hands had hair on them. Seriously. Literally. If a male waiter touched her plate and his hands were not shaved, she would send the food back. It was a very professional place, the waiters were properly trained in how to hold a plate, they weren’t sticking their hands in her food or plucking their fist hairs over it…
It always struck me a very strange…
Does Joe Biden shave his hands?
