Joe Biden’s Latest Tall Tale

BIDEN: Can I respond? Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington or go to Katie’s Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time and you ask anybody in there whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration has made them better off in the last eight years. And then ask them whether there’s a single major initiative that John McCain differs with the president on. On taxes, on Iraq, on Afghanistan, on the whole question of how to help education, on the dealing with health care.

Look, the people in my neighborhood, they get it. They get it. They know they’ve been getting the short end of the stick. So walk with me in my neighborhood, go back to my old neighborhood in Claymont, an old steel town or go up to Scranton with me. These people know the middle class has gotten the short end. The wealthy have done very well. Corporate America has been rewarded. It’s time we change it. Barack Obama will change it.

Just one tiny little problem with that story, Joe. Much like your tall tale of being forced down in Afghanistan and about a million others you tell on the campaign trail (let’s not forget the ‘I’m a coal miner’ line, that was hilarious!) it’s just a bit off the mark. In this case, Biden wanted you to believe that he’s some sort of ‘everyman’. Biden’s the guy who wanders through his neighborhood and hangs out a places like ‘Katie’s Restaurant’ and ‘Home Depot’ (seriously, who spends ‘a lot of time’ in Home Depot?). The problem: This Katie’s Restaurant that Joe frequents? It hasn’t existed in more than 10 years. It folded while Bill Clinton was in office.

Oh well, I guess there’s always Home Depot.

    LOL,
    Joe Biden did a great job in the debate, and 100% of the undecided voters in the audience thought he was prepared to be president. Only 40% of the audience thought Palin was prepared.

    It’s true, Biden did very well in the debate. I for one was surprised, I thought Palin was going to hand him his hat. I thought they both did well.

    But when he said the line about Home Depot, my waife looked at me and said “Yeah, Biden spends a lot of time a Home Depot” and rolled her eyes. He spends a lot of time on Amtrak, too.

    I wish I could afford to live in Joe Bidens neighborhood. But I would like to own a 8,750 sq foot home, on 4 acres, on a lake, worth $2.8 million. Nice digs for senator who makes $169,000, and a wife who’s a school teacher. Gee I wonder if there was any dirty dealings in him getting this house. Do you know any developers Joe? I’m sure there aren’t too many people hurting in Joe’s neighborhood. He along with BHO and McCain and all the other corrupt congressmen/women just bailed them all out. California’s next, Arnold has spent California into bankruptcy. He should terminate spending. Asta La Vista financial integrity. Connecticut is next, they have a $300 million shortfall this year. And the stock market dropped 157 today. Great news for America. I hope you all went out and bought some extra rice and beans today. I’m not sharing mine. “I kill you” <~~~ Achmed the dead terrorist

    WELL WHAT PEEVED GUY IS UNAWARE OF IS BIDEN DID TAKE THE AMTRAK FOR A GOOD PART OF THE TIME WHEN HE WAS IN THE SENATE.. SARAH PALIN DIDN’T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS SO HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF SHE DID WELL ?? WHY, BECAUSE SHE WAS A SMART-MOUTH?? ANYONE CAN DO THAT .. BUT INTELLIGENCE SHE LACKS .. AND KNOWLEDGE SHE LACKS .. LOOKS LIKE TRAILER TRASH MOM AND OL’ SOLDIER BOY WILL BE SENT HOME WHERE SARAH ESPECIALLY BELONGS .. I AM TIRED OF SEEING HER DRAGGING ALONG THAT POOR 3 MONTH OLD BABY DAY AND NIGHT AS IT’S PASSED AROUND LIKE A CABBAGE PATCH BABY.. I WINCE WHEN I SEE THAT 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHER OF HERS BARELY HOLDING ONTO THAT BABY WITH FEET DANGLING AS SARAH LOOKS AWAY WITH A STUPID LOOK ON HER FACE .. ALSO HER TWO DAUGHTERS NEED TO BE IN SCHOOL, NOT FOLLOWING MOM ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL .. IF SARAH AND TODD HAD BEEN HOME MORE OFTEN THEY MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PREVENT HER DAUGHTER FROM SLEEPING AROUND AND GETTING PREGNANT.. CAN’T WAIT UNTIL “TROOPER GATE PROCEEDS” YEAH!!!

    Deborah are you hard of hearing, you must be so I will yell too.

    YOUR RIGHT BIDEN DID TAKE AMTRAK AT A COST OF $194.00 ROUND TRIP PAID FOR BY THE U.S. TAXPAYERS. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER WEEK TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. HE LIVES IN A $2.8 MILLION DOLLAR HOME ON 4 ACRES, HOW WAS HE ABLE TO AFFORD THAT HOME ON A SENATORS SALARY AND A TEACHERS SALARY?

    I THINK ITS CUTE THAT SARAH’S DAUGHTER LOVES HER LITTLE BROTHER SO MUCH THAT SHE WANTS TO CARRY HIM AROUND. I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON’T LIKE KIDS SINCE YOU PROMOTE ABORTION, BUT SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE KIDS, AND LOVE THEIR SIBLINGS. FOR SOME IT’S TOO BAD THEIR PARENTS DIDN’T BELIEVE IN ABORTION. RIGHT DEBORAH, DON’T YOU THINK OUR LIVES (AND YOURS) WOULD BE BETTER IF YOUR PARENTS BELIEVED IN ABORTION?

    I DON’T KNOW HOW ANYONE COULD ABORT AN UNBORN BABY WHEN THEIR PARENTS DIDN’T BELIEVE IN IT.
    I REMEMBER WHEN THE DUMBOCRAPS RALLY CRY WAS “IF IT SAVES ONLY ONE CHILD” WHEN THEY TRIED TO TAKE AWAY OUR 2ND AMENDMENTS RIGHTS. AND THEY WOULD TURN AROUND AND SAY ABORT IT, ABORT IT, ITS NOT A BABY ITS A CHOICE.
    YOU WERE A CHOICE DEBORAH AND PERSONALLY YOUR PARENTS MADE THE WRONG CHOICE.

    Everybody thinks Biden did great in the debates! WHY?? He looked good and sounded great is that what you mean? He told great lies and did not state facts, but he looked nice?

    Give me a break! The man lied, the moment had to be about Obama not saying he would meet with Iran.. That was classic Biden.. I guess he forget he was on the same stage with Obama and Clinton with Obama said YES, he would meet with Iran without any pre-conditions. He spoke to America and lied and you still said he won the debate.. Folks walk away from the Kool-Aid.. please!

    Obama stated on the Reilly interview that he attended Rev. Wright’s church 2-3 times per month. Hmmm… that’s 24-36 times per year, times 20 years, or between 480-720 sermons that he listened to Wright spew his hatred for America. Those are the real numbers folks! Is Obama wanting us REALLY believe that he NEVER heard any of that hatred? To paraphrase Obama as he said in one his speeches, “What, do they think were stupid?

    Like mama always said, “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you the kind of person you are!”
