Biden, The Joint Chiefs of Gaffe, Speaks Out on Iran Before Obama
Biden, although a bit dimwitted and always good for a laugh, actually tends to tell the truth from time to time, which is not always a good thing.
I was taught that honesty is the best policy, and in most circumstances, that is the case. However, politics is an entirely different situation, especially when dealing with a foreign country. Politicians have to be more cognizant of not only what they say but when they say it.
So, although Biden was correct in his assessment of Iran’s election results, his candid statement today regarding the validity of the election was probably not the smartest thing to say. I’m sure Obama is not that happy about this:
Vice President Joe Biden, going further than any other high-ranking American official to date in questioning the validity of last Friday’s election, said Sunday that “there’s some real doubt” that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was legitimately re-elected as president of Iran.
It’s also interesting that on the same day as Biden’s statement, the European Union exclaims the following:
The Presidency of the Council of the EU closely followed the course of the Presidential elections held on 12 June 2009 and notices Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected for the second term as the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Presidency is concerned about alledged irregularities during the election process and post-electional violence that broke out immediately after the release of the official election results on 13 June 2009.
The Presidency hopes that outcome of the Presidential elections will bring the opportunity to resume the dialogue on nuclear issue and clear up Iranian position in this regard. The Presidency expects the new Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran will take its responsibility towards international community and respect its international obligations.
The EU, in essence, is recognizing the legitimacy of the Iranian elections and the new administration of Ahmadinejad. However, it calls the protests irregular, not Ahmadinejad’s win. This is one of the reasons I don’t ever want America compared to Europe – we are much better.
Biden may not have been politically correct and may have upset his boss, but I happen to personally agree with him on this one. This is technically a gaffe, because Obama has not come out in support of Biden’s statement or opinion on this issue. Obama, being the Commander in Chief is Joe Biden’s boss and should speak out on Iran’s election first. A politician has to always watch what he or she says… something that Biden has long forgotten how to do. If we find that yet again this administration contradicts itself by saying two different things, it certainly looks bad and shows a real lack of knowledge and/or leadership on how to manage a country.
The individual that we should be most concerned about is Obama – when will he say anything definitive about Iran?
“Say It Ain’t So Joe” Has Biden Stuck His Foot In His Mouth Again? “You Betcha!”
We have two classic Joe Biden moments from today!
Not only does Joe Biden make fun of Obama for his security blanket, the TelePrompTer, but he also states that their administration should not be blamed for any GDP growth… wait – WHAT!? LOL!
I think that Goofy Joe doesn’t understand basic English – I believe he made up some words in this next speech about economic growth, which he contradicts, because we all know that a green economy is not a productive one… And remember don’t judge him on GDP growth that doesn’t matter!
Obama Gaffes on Secretary of Defense
Obama does’t even know his own Secretary of Defense’s name! He is probably so used to talking to liberal William Gates of Microsoft that he forgot the real important one would be our national defense guy; Robert. 
Maybe he was speaking to us in ‘Austrian’
Hooked on ‘Fonics’ ‘Werked’ For Me!: Biden Press Office Misspells Biden and Wilmington
Joe Biden’s press office flubbed some of the spellings on one of his press releases… The gaffes of the vice president never end!
Usually his press people have to send out a statement clarifying what the vice president meant. On Monday, they had to send out an email clarifying what they meant.
But it was only a minor mistake. Like the city where the vice president was going. And the vice president’s name.
Subject
“Vice President Buden Kicks Off $32 Million Renovation and Restoration of Wilimington Train Station,” reads the subject line.
Joe Biden could not be reached for comment; he was busy preparing for his next Swine Flu escapade:
Obama Refuses to Release Pictures of Air Force One Flying Through New York
So instead – I have put together a compilation of photo-ops from the day’s events.
I also would like to add that this is some of the transparency we can continue to expect from the Obama administration. “It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn and I’m feeling goooooood.”
“We have no plans to release them,” an aide to President Obama told The Post, refusing to comment further.
The sole purpose of the secret photo-op, which sent thousands of New Yorkers running for cover, was to take new publicity shots of the presidential jet over the city.
“The photos . . . are classified — that’s ridiculous,” Councilman Peter Vallone Jr., said.
New Yorkers said they could not understand how a president who shares intimate snapshots from the White House could justify classifying these.
“So we’re not gonna see the fruits of this cruel joke?” said Frank Antonelli, 39, one of the Wall Street traders spooked by last week’s flyover.
“I’m not surprised. Obama . . . wouldn’t further all the bad publicity by putting out those pictures.”
