Biden Mocks Voters: ‘You’re the Dullest Audience’ Ever

Vice President Joe Biden is continuing the Obama administrations attack on voters who may not agree with the White House’s message. This time, the nation’s number two man has made some less than flattering comments regarding a crowd of Democratic supporters.
Speaking at at a Wisconsin fundraiser for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett, Biden tried to rile up the crowd with a rousing statement about jobs: “We want to reward people who manufacture things in the United States, in Wisconsin, not to take them overseas to China and to other countries!”
The room fell silent.
So how did Biden respond? He chastised the crowd for not rallying behind his cry: “You’re the dullest audience I’ve ever spoken to.” Perhaps in a consolatory manner, his audience laughed and clapped.
He responded by asking, “Do you realize how many jobs Wisconsin lost?” And then added, “It’s staggering!”
Both Biden and Obama have come under fire recently for other comments seen by some as demeaning. Last week he told disenchanted liberals to “buck up” and “stop whining.” Obama echoed that sentiment in a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine: “The idea that we’ve got a lack of enthusiasm in the Democratic base, that people are sitting on their hands complaining, is just irresponsible.” And last week John Kerry added to the chorus of chastisement when he said that voters are easily swayed by “simple slogans.”
It may not be surprising, then, that a poll of likely voters in November favors Republicans by 2-1.

Posted on October 7, 2010 at 11:13pmYes, and I just heard that the unemployment numbers for September are out, and they are now up to 10.1%. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the very number we were told it would rise to unless we passed the stimulus. So, in other words, the stimulus accomplished [drum roll, please] NOTHING! The good news is, now that America has gotten this little experiment out of its system, perhaps we can correct things come November, and November, and November, and November, and November, and

Posted on October 7, 2010 at 9:55pmWhat gets me is the audience applauded his remarks! I suddenly got a flashback to the last state of the union speech when Obama criticized the Supreme Court Justices. It seems these ******** either have no tact whatsoever or they believe people are just too stupid to realize when they are being insulted. Maybe both.
Know what kills me? How in the hell does that jackass STILL have 40% approval? How is it we are getting Obama trolls on this site? How can ANYONE defend this administration at this point? Maybe some people really are too stupid to realize when they are being insulted…

Posted on October 8, 2010 at 12:05amWe may be seeing a melt down here, but look out for plain old meanness, now. These narcissic people will not let the power slip away without a fight. Because of their lack of truth, and ethics it‘s probably get uglier than any we’ve ever experienced. I believe that there is a bigger, badder and deadlier situation standing in the wings. Something only hinted at, so far. If the midterm election goes as badly for the dems as the polls say they might, look for another terrible crisis, maybe rioting, maybe domestic terror attacks….anything that can warrant martial law being installed. I put nothing past these crazies…nothing
