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

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.

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 9:55amIt is fitting that Joe is VP for the circus that is the Obama presidency and his cast of fools administration. You have to wonder if Joe ever has the coherent thought that maybe he shouldn’t be in the role he is in given his gaffes. His dementia and gaffes are NOT cute or endearing when he is one step away from being the leader of the once free world.

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 5:53pmYou can forget about “free” elections – Americans had experimented with putting Marxists in charge of the country, but had no clue what they were getting themselves into! Marxists NEVER give up power through democratic means, not in over 100 years of this movement, which claimed lives of tens of millions of innocent people!!! Too late folks, our republic is no more, you can vote all you want, you can refer to the constitution, the bill of rights, the result is gonna be the same as in USSR, China, North Korea, Cuba – the communists stay in power!

Biden’s picture should be right next to the words “buffoon/dufus” in the dictionary. He’s an absolute embarrassment. I‘m STILL trying to figure out why HE was picked as Obama’s running mate? Who in particular did he appeal to.. to make him such a hot commodity for VP… psychiatric patients?

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 12:37pmObama did NOT want Hillary taking the spotlight from him, and he knew that would happen. So they knowingly chose a weak, compliant, know-nothing, do-nothing buffoon in Biden. They counted on Biden being a tool and an idiot. They got it right, he is, and that’s exactly what they wanted because Obama HAD to look like he was just SO smart. That was it.
