Mr. Vice-President It's About Time

For the past two years the great tragedy of the Obama administration in my opinion, is that Biden has been ignored and over ruled. He is the only sane voice in the whole administration. If Obama had listened to him two years ago we'd already be out of Afghanistan and Billions of dollars better off with many young men still alive or whole.

He also speaks his mind. His speech recently hit the Huffpo. I like it, here's a portion:

The vice president said that “the people of Minnesota, the people of the United States, were absolutely devastated by the eight years of neglect, eight years of a policy that masqueraded as a vision, which was little more than a Ponzi scheme, that Wall Street was conducting. For eight years, all that happened was we piled up debt, we generated losses for the middle class, and the end result was, when we came into office, we inherited, before I a chance to turn on the computer in the office -- Fritz, your old office – we were handed a bill for $1.3 trillion, a projected deficit of $8 trillion for the next 10 years, if we did nothing.”

The vice president said “if I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them. To the press: that’s a figure of speech.”

The Republicans’ new “Pledge to America,” he said, will increase the debt by $1 trillion.

“These guys have absolutely no credibility, no credibility on debt,” he said. “Folks, look, we’ve seen this movie before. We’ve seen this movie. We know how it ends”

The vice president sounded an optimistic note about the upcoming midterm elections, saying Democrats “have got to make sure we make this a choice, not a referendum….I am absolutely convinced if we make it a choice, and we fight back, we will do very, very well….This is not your father’s Republican party, this is the Republican Tea Party. These are not the same brand of cat you are dealing with.”

He said “if we don’t bring this case to the American people in the next three weeks, shame on us. This is going to come down to a ground game. If we organize our voters, we will do very well. If we don’t, we won’t.”
