Biden Contra Mundum
Joe Biden forgets his lines again in his most recent gaffe. What number are we up to? Excerpt:
Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday ripped into congressional Republicans for not passing a gas tax increase to shore up the Highway Trust Fund.
The only problem? The White House doesn’t support a gas tax increase, either.
"Hell, Congress can’t even decide on a gas tax to keep the highway system going,” Biden said during an event Wednesday on ensuring unaccompanied minors crossing the U.S-Mexico border have access to lawyers.
But here’s what White House press secretary Josh Earnest said when asked about a gas tax hike in June: “I believe that’s something that we’ve said a couple of times that we wouldn’t support.”
Not surprisingly, an increase in the gas tax would be a difficult position for vulnerable Democrats to take ahead of the November midterms.
Like I've said before, Joe Biden remains one of the biggest "non-political" reasons not to attempt to impeach the current president.
I can see how some well-meaning liberal white guilt types could be duped into believing in Obama (at least back in '08, before he convinced us otherwise). But to openly support Biden for any high position insults the intelligence.
ReplyDeleteP.S. And to clarify, no I myself was not one of the "us" that needed to be convinced otherwise. Even as horrible as McCain was as a candidate (and human), and would have been as president.

ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder if Biden isn't pulling an I Claudius.
