At Capitol, Biden Feeling Great Because He ‘Doesn’t Have to Do Anything’

ABC News Capitol Hill producer Dean Norland reports:

Vice President Biden just walked in to Statuary Hall with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., on his way to the chamber.

Reporter: "Mr Vice President, how are you feeling tonight?"

Biden: "Feeling great, cause I don’t have to do anything."

Big smiles and…scene.

When will Joe Biden start wearing a big, round, red plastic nose, a colorful afro wig, and a big, flouncy, colorful one piece outfit featuring hugely enormous, colorful shoes? He’s already such a clown that he might as well just dress the part.

Obama really should drop that fiscal responsibility line. Americans are laughing so hard they can’t hear his next paragraph.

Biden is the worse Vice President in this history. Obama’s approval rating is down below in the 50′s. That show Obama isn’t doing a good job. He has lied to the America people and has broken promise to them. And by the way, he is no Ronald Reagan. The late former Pres. Reagan was the best President in our history.

Obama gave a very great speech, and I feel soooo good now.

Oh my God.
The smugness of these thugs.
This President is the worst thing that could happen to this country.
And I’m glad that everyone thinks it’s so funny that the next in
line to be President is the single most smarmy, clueless, goofy IDIOT in history.
Yes, that includes Bush.
At leasst he could get it together in times of importance. Biden is just a dope. An embarassment. A lowlife.
We as a nation are so screwed.
I can’t believe our country is run by these horrible people: Pelosi, Reid, Waxman. What the hell is going on here???

We keep hearing about the C.E.O.s who caused this crisis and took care of themselves in the form of huge bonuses and write-offs. My question is: What happens to these greedy? Do they just get another high paying job somewhere else? How are they to be held accountable and punished for their selfish greed? Do you think an ordinary working man would get away with using other people the way these did?

I dislike President Obama’s repeated marginalization of Joe Biden.
He selected Biden as his VP. No need to point out his regrets about the decision.

Biden: “Feeling great, cause I don’t have to do anything.”

Biden told the mayors he had not been a mayor ’cause they work too hard.

Obama is the most disrespectful “President” I have ever seen. Beleive me I have seen a few. He takes every opportunity he can to margainalize the Vice President, He makes silly and uncalled for coments about him and referrs to him a “MY” Vice President when he does us his title. Please tell me why he can’t be respectful when talking about him and simply refer to him as “THE” Vice Presedent of Vice Presient Biden. For Heaven sake his name IS NOT “MY VICE PRESIDENT” and whwn refering to hi in press conference or any public plade it is impolite to call him JOE.
Obama is becomming over exposed anyway. I am tire of seeing his face on TV all day and hearing that he is going to appear to make some speech or other. He needs to GO TO THE OVAL OFFICE AND DO SOME WORK.

I wish Obama, Biden and Pelosi would
just get off our planet. They are the
biggest phonies of all time. Nothing but lies, and Biden is a worse joke
than Obama.

It is sad that most of the American public is so disengaged from the day to day happenings in politics that all they need are these great speechifying moments when they are lulled into thinking the O knows what he is doing. He is nothing but a paper tiger with a teleprompter. His dismissive attitude toward Biden reveals his superiority complex. I wanted Hillary for Pres, for VP as a sorry second choice, but I am now actually happy that she doesn’t have to put up with his snide asides. O

I am so sad that Joe Biden ran for VP. He was a good senator and and a patriot. I know he loves America and would never sell us down the drain. Speak up Mr. Vice President. Be a true American hero and leave this president’s caderet. You will go down in History.
