Math Busters: Biden Says GOP Supports $500T Tax-Cut, Adds Obama Admin. Will Save ‘Billion of Oils’

Oct. 26, 2012 3:57pm

Is it just us, or does it seem like Vice President Joe Biden is “literally” incapable of getting through a speech without saying something that makes everyone (who’s still paying attention) sit up and ask: “What?”

“But you can’t erase what you’ve already done, they’ve voted to extend tax cuts for the very wealthy, giving a $500 trillion dollar tax-cut to 120,000 families,” the vice president said during a campaign speech in Wisconsin on Friday.

As always: What?

We’re familiar with the Obama campaign’s bogus $5 trillion dollar tax claim, but, man, $500 ​trillion​? Surely, this is just a bunch of stuff (or malarkey):

But wait! There’s more! The vice president also touched on energy policy.

“We will save $1.7 trillion dollars at the pump and $12 billion dollars of gas – billion of oils of, uh, uh, gas, uh, of oil over the next 10 years,” the vice president the same Wisconsin crowd.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” he continued, “we’re also going to make sure that the middle class deserves a fair and equitable tax system.”

Final Thought – These silly slip-ups and misstatements are just that: silly. But in an age where certain members of the media believe stray comments about “binders” and Big Bird merit wall-to-wall coverage, well, we just wanted to see how the other half lives.

    Obama’s Czar of Village Idiots and Buffoons, Joe Biden has taken reality out of context. What universe does this idiot live in? Nancy Pelosi will have to gorget about trying to steal Biden’s title of Czar of Village Idiots and Buffoons.

      The video shows a lot also about the flunkies who support these two idiots… Notice that no one shows a look of surprise at the mention of $500 trillion.

      Wayner,they show no emotion because their not really listening to what’s being said. I could understand how O got elected in 2008. He,like he accuses Romney, is a BS er and it sounded good but 4 years of a flat or near flat economy should show that he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You have a clear choice either more of the same or someone who not only promises jobs but has run a successful business,got the olympics back on track and was governor of a state. Unlike O who voted present in the senate. Do you really know Obama? http://www.westernjournalism.com/why-dont-more-people-know-these-facts-about-obama/

      Is it just me or has Biden missed his true calling (Court Jester?). Between him and Obama’s wind turbines being built here in China it is almost as if they are shooting each other in the foot.Is this a new political tactic to appear ignorent because if it is I can say it is working well.LOL!!!!

      I’m beginning to wonder if rather than Biden being drunk when he’s speaking, he has something more serious like a brain tumor. I remember Ted Kennedy’s speeches sounded like he was drunk before he resigned due to a malignant brain tumor.

      On Wednesday October 24, President Obama appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. During a particularly hard hitting section in which viewers sent in questions for the President, Mr. Obama was blindsided by a grueling line of inquiry from Samantha in Colorado who backed him into a corner with the following: “When you help your daughters with their homework, is there a subject you struggle with?”
      The President answered: “Well, the math stuff I was fine with up until 7th grade. But Malia is now a freshman in High School and I’m pretty lost. It’s tough.”

      Really? Really? Barry…You’re FIRED! Give me break. This is the most honest answer that I ever heard from this dictator EVER!!! This is disgusting…You need to have at least some college credits to be a manager at Fast Food restaurants and other businesses…That means you have to know some college MATH…But a President in the United States of America thinks that 7th grade MATH is tough!!!
      GOOD GRIEF!!!No wonder why his VP is running around the country making a fool of himself…Nobody knows how to do MATH in the white house that’s why they don’t know and don’t give a D-A-M-N about the $16T DEBT….Ahhhh friends we are in big TROUBLE, I can’t even imagine another 4 years of these MORONS!!!

    I don’t know which is sadder, the fact that this village idiot is the Vice President or that the taxpayers have been paying him a six figure salary for the last 30+ years. The village doesn’t need to wonder where their idiot is, they keep sending him to DC.

They have been using the unsubstantiated 500 billion number since the second debate; yet the ignorant sob is still unable to grasp his buzzwords.

    I’m not sure that these are ‘silly slip ups’. He may be in the early stages of senility or something. A good campaign ad would remind people that he is ‘just one heartbeat’ away from being president. If that doesn’t scare the hell out of you, nothing will.
