“The truth is, we and everyone else misread the economy” – Vice President Joe Biden
I’m sure Joe meant all the people in the Beltway when he said everyone.
It’s kinda like when a teenager in High School says “Ma, everyone failed the test not just me” meaning everyone in the kid’s clique not the smart ones who passed.
Nice try on your quotes ABC News, I’m sure you’re doing the best you can but you missed the best one we have all heard recently.
The one where Sarah Palin says only dead fish go with the flow.
DC is full off dead fish.
Wouldn’t it be a thing of beauty to see a live one swimming around there?
