Today\’s quote comes to us from Vice President Joe Biden – a man who, in recent months, the Obama administration has diligently tried to keep from view…but who surfaced in Detroit today and gave us this gem:
“Youknow there is an outfit called Standard and Poors, the leadingfinancial services group. It says, \’You want U.S. income inequity hasreached levels not seen since 1928.\’ That means the very, very top 1percent are making so much more disproportionate to the rest of thepublic. So a lot of the wealthy guys say \’So what?\’ Well they want onto say, and I quote, \’Extreme levels of income inequity lead tosustained harm to economic growth and other, over a long period oftime\’ — it says, \’the U.S. is approaching the threshold.\’ One of thereasons we\’re not growing is because ordinary people have no money intheir pockets for their wages! They are not being rewarded!”
That so, Mr. Vice President? Well who do you blame it on?
George Bush, who has spent the last 5 1/2 years walking his dog, painting and writing memoirs?
Or Barack Obama, who has spent the last 5 1/2 years being President of the United States and, for every day of that time, has had a majority in the U. S. Senate to work with – for two of those years, a 60% majority in both houses of congress?
What\’s that, Mr. Biden? No answer? Cat got your tongue?
I award Vice President Joe Biden Quote Of The Day honors for escaping from the attic long enough to show us why President Obama and his people have tried so hard to keep him locked up there. Thank you sir; very edifying.
But look at the bright side. Things could be worse. We could have someone not second in command, but running the country, who has watched ISIS grow from nothing to the single most powerful, well-heeled Islamic terrorist group on the planet, yet openly admit that, to this moment he has no strategy to deal with the……oh, wait.
