Biden not only said it, he said it twice, in 2 different speeches.

This wasn’t just some happenstance rhetorical flourish, or gaffe on Bidens part. This was delivered with intent.

Why? I don’t know, but my gut tells me, he’s gotten a peek into the inner sanctum. He’s gotten a lil preview of the REAL Obama presidency, and he wants out. He wants to leave Congress, someday, with some dignity, respect, and his “good” name intact. For as much as he gaffes, I don’t believe him to be of the criminal nature.

Barring any other way to bow out, and not wanting to face the scorn of his fellow libs….he’s using other tactics, and they work. He’s being held back now, so as not to cause more damage for the comrades.

Sounds to me like Joe Biden knows exactly what's likely to happen, knows what Obama's response is likely to be, and knows that Obama's response is going to be very unpopular, possibly even leading to calls for his impeachment, judging from the

your influence within the community, to stand with him

comment. In fact, it even sounds a little like Obama is going to do something to make whatever Biden is talking about happen. Isn't it about time that the media did just a little bit of their job and asked Biden what the hell he was talking about?I also like the bit where Obama says it's going to happen regardless of who is in the White House. Like, if Carter and Mondale had been in office during the eighties both the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union would still have come tumbling down.Rhetorical flourishes, indeed! Does Mark my words sound all that much like fr'instance? Rhetorical flourishes are for saying things like "I will take public campaign financing."

That’s quite a flourish on the old rhetoric, there.

Obama keeps ’splainin’ to me that I got to understand what Biden meant.

Hell, I am having trouble working out what he says. I can’t be held accountable for what he meant!
