Biden jokes about Obama

Posted by Right Viewpoint on Sunday, April 12, 2009 10:29:40 AM


Vice President Biden at Gridiron, on Easter and the President (whispering):
'He thinks it’s about him'

By: MIKE ALLEN on March 22, 2009 @ 8:13 AM


... VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN:

… Talk about the audacity of hope. … President Obama does send his greetings, though. He can’t be here tonight -- because he’s busy getting ready for Easter. (Whisper):

He thinks it’s about him.
______

“Axelrod really wanted me to do this on teleprompter -- but I told him I’m much better when I wing it. …

______

. … We are now two months into the Obama-Biden administration and the President and I have become extremely close. To give you an idea of how close we are, he told me that next year -- maybe, just maybe -- he’s going to give me his blackberry email address. …
_______


But the Obama Administration really is a good team. I am the experienced veteran. Rahm can be an enforcer. And Tim Geithner is always there when you need to borrow money. And no questions asked.


_____

“Now let’s see: we have a Republican speaker who was born in Austria, and tonight’s Democratic speaker was born in Canada.... You know, I never realized just how much power Dick Cheney had until my first day on the job. I walked into my office, and you know how the outgoing president always leaves the incoming president a note in his desk? I opened my drawer and Dick Cheney had left me Barack Obama’s birth certificate …

Vice President Joe Biden

WASHINGTON – While the subject of Barack Obama's birth certificate is still a topic most press outlets refuse to cover, it became a matter of sport in   Joe Biden's Gridiron Dinner address this weekend.

After mentioning one of the Republican speakers for the evening, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was born in Austria and that one of the Democratic speakers, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, was born in Canada, Biden chortled: "Folks, this is going to be Lou Dobbs' worst nightmare.

From there, Biden transitioned to the birth certificate controversy.

"Bush-McCain" VS. "Carter-Obama"

Posted by Right Viewpoint on Sunday, August 31, 2008 7:05:54 AM
Chief Obama strategist David Axelrod most definitely will continue the run  the "Bush-McCain: No Change ..."  ads.

Repubs urgently need to launch the symmetrical ads:

 Barack Obama is   a Second Edition of Jimmy Carter,
  Jimmy Carter brought to American people the following Change:
- 13% inflation rate;
- 21% prime lending rate;;
....

On assuming office in 1977, President Carter inherited an economy that was slowly emerging from a recession. He had severely criticized former President Ford for his failures to control inflation and relieve unemployment, but after four years of the Carter presidency, both inflation and unemployment were considerably worse than at the time of his inauguration.

The annual inflation rate rose from 4.8% in 1976 to 6.8% in 1977, 9% in 1978, 11% in 1979, and hovered around 12% at the time of the 1980 election campaign.

Although Carter had pledged to eliminate federal deficits, the deficit for the fiscal year 1979 totaled $27.7 billion, and that for 1980 was nearly $59 billion.

With approximately 8 million people out of work, the unemployment rate had leveled off to a nationwide average of about 7.7% by the time of the election campaign, but it was considerably higher in some industrial states.

During the Presidential campaign of 1976, Democratic candidate, Jimmy Carter, made frequent references to the Misery Index  (the misery index is an economic indicator, that can be  found by adding the unemployment rate to the inflation rate.), which by the summer of 1976 was at 13.57%. Carter stated that no man responsible for giving a country a misery index that high, had a right to even ask to be President. Carter won the 1976 election. However, by 1980, when President Carter was running for re-election against Ronald Reagan, the Misery Index had reached an all-time high of 21.98%.

In July 1980, Carter received a favorable rating of only 21% in the Gallup Poll. That was the lowest rating any president  had received since polling began in 1936. ( Encyclopedia Americana: Jimmy Carter )

"C'est pire qu'un crime, c'est une faute."
It is worse than a crime, it is a mistake.

          Antoine Boulay de la Meurthe  (1761 - 1840)

Barely a years has passed during the years Jimmy Carter  was in White House without some new his "mistakes / crime"  bringing to mind Antoine Boulay de la Meurthe's comments on hearing of Napoleon's execution of the Duc d'Enghien in 1804.


Carter's Foreign policy:


- 1978, Iran.

Facing an Islamist revolution, the Shah of Iran sought help from the United States. Iran occupied a strategic place in U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East, acting as an island of stability and a buffer against Soviet penetration into the region. The Shah was pro-American ...  Carter  ordered the aircraft carrier Constellation to the Indian Ocean but ultimately supported the   "regime change"...  Khomeini and his followers swept the country, taking power on February 12, 1979.

The Carter's "regime change" (or  "Iranian Revolution") precipitated the 444 days Iran "hostage crisis", which would last for the rest of Carter's presidency.  In 1980, Carter  planned Operation "Eagle Claw", which was meant to free the hostages in Iran using the Special Forces units. The mission was a failure ...

- 1979, Aphganistan

Carter  & Brzezinski  engineered the Soviet invasion, and, with the support of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the PRC, he created   a campaign supporting mujaheddin in Pakistan and Afghanistan, which were run by Pakistani security services with financial support from the US and Britain.

This policy had the explicit aim of promoting radical Islamist  ... In 1998, Brzezinski was interviewed by the French newspaper Nouvel Observateur on the topic of Afghanistan. He revealed that Carter  support for the mujaheddin had started before the 1979 Soviet invasion and was indeed designed to prompt a Soviet invasion:
Le Nouvel Observateur: When the Soviets justified their intervention with the statement that they were fighting against a secret US interference in Afghanistan, nobody believed them. Nevertheless there was a core of truth to this...Do you regret nothing today?

Zbigniew Brzezinski: Regret what? This secret operation was an excellent idea... On the day when the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote president Carter, in essence: "We now have the opportunity to provide the USSR with their Viet Nam war..."

Le Nouvel Observateur: And also, don't you regret having helped future terrorists, having given them weapons and advice?

Zbigniew Brzezinski: What is most important for world history? ... Some Islamic hotheads or the liberation ...?

Le Nouvel Observateur: "Some hotheads?" But it has been said time and time again: today Islamic fundamentalism represents a world-wide threat...

Now the same Brzezinski works for Obama. He wrote: "Obama is clearly more effective and has the upper hand. He has a sense of what is historically relevant and what is needed from the United States in relationship to the world." (Washington Post,  August 25, 2007; Page A03 )

After 9/11 both Carter  and Brzezinski were criticized for their  role in the formation of the Afghan mujaheddin network, some of which would later form the Taliban and would shelter Al Qaeda camps:

1980, Cambodia

 In January 1980 the Carter  started funding Pol Pot ...  The extent of this support was $85m from 1980 to 1986. During his time in power Pol Pot imposed a version of agrarian collectivization whereby city dwellers were relocated to the countryside to work in collective farms and forced labour projects, conceived as a restarting of civilization in "Year Zero". The combined effect of slave labour, malnutrition, poor medical care and executions had an estimated death toll of 750,000 to 1.7 million. His regime achieved special notoriety for singling out all intellectuals and other "bourgeois enemies" to be killed.
