Joe Biden Explains It All

The VP in effect admits that his party risked the economy to pander for votes.

At that time, in the name of electoral victory and with the help of their party, the architects of what I have for the past year been calling the POR (Pelosi-Obama-Reid) economy — Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Harry Reid — deliberately took positions and actions that were destined to take down the economy, seriously underestimating the harm they would do to its fragile-but-decent condition.

They thought they could gain votes by promising, almost gleefully, to severely tax the nation’s most productive people, increasing their marginal tax rates by up to 17% (12.4% Social Security plus 4.6% federal income tax), so they could redistribute individual amounts that are relative pocket change to everyone else. Even as it became clear that the economy was struggling, Obama irresponsibly ramped up the rhetoric further. Days before the election, he accused those who opposed his tax increases of wanting “to make a virtue out of selfishness.”

They thought they could gain votes by repeatedly telling the electorate of their intent to dramatically reduce and ultimately abandon the use of fossil fuels, seemingly regardless of whether viable replacement energy sources exist. Obama shamelessly (or ignorantly?) peddled the absurd notion that “we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling — if everybody was just inflating their tires.”

They thought they could gain votes by capitalizing on the housing and mortgage-lending mess when it came to a head in September, falsely framing the situation as a greed-based regulatory failure. Last time I checked with the eminent Thomas Sowell, “Lenders did not spontaneously begin to lend to people who would not have qualified for loans under the traditional criteria that had evolved out of years of experience in the market.” Instead, it was the Democrat-inspired collection of mandates, otherwise known as “regulations,” that had threatened or forced financial institutions into these unsustainable lending arrangements.

In sum, Team Obama underestimated in January 2009 how much they and their Democratic cohorts’ pandering for electoral advantage trashed the economy during the final seven months of 2008. They underestimated how many businesspeople, entrepreneurs, and investors engaged in anticipatory downsizing during the second half of 2008 as a result of the rhetorical horrors they witnessed from their country’s likely and then victorious leaders.

Pelosi, Obama, and Reid got their precious votes. In the process, they sowed the seeds of a serious economic decline. Now they, and sadly we, are reaping the whirlwind. After the election, it only got worse.

Democrats cheered in December when a lame-duck president expanded the bailout effort to the auto industry. It had Obama’s strong encouragement — never mind the “who’s next?” uncertainty it injected into the entire economy.

Once at the controls, with the serious recession they had caused already going strong, Pelosi, Obama, and Reid ignored options to reverse it that have historically worked (tax cuts, opening up domestic exploration and drilling, etc.) in favor of an inherently time-delayed, ineffective “stimulus” plan that, like its predecessors in 1930s America and 1990s Japan, hasn’t stimulated anything and is well on its way to becoming the mother of all boondoggles.

Thus, in the one-year anniversary month of the POR economy, now the POR recession as normal people define it, the carnage continues. The White House predicted that unemployment would peak at 8% if the stimulus plan passed, but it’s already at 9.4%. Obama has conceded that it will hit 10%. Odds are that once again he’s underestimating.

Joe-
I am sorry that I didn’t do my patriotic duty and pay more taxes.

Thank you Joe-(hair plugs) Biden
for keeping me laughing during an embarrassing administration that makes me want to pull your hair out.

Don’t you just love to hear (D) Barney Frank tell us about his commitment to our welfare and why we should give him and the democrats more of our tax monies?

Jun 21, 2009 - 1:18 am 2. fear Obama:

WTH has happened to Nancy Pelosi?

Is she still in China?

Jun 21, 2009 - 1:20 am 3. bnjohanson:

What happened to Pelosi ?

There are two types of people in this World-

1) Those that we wonder where upon not actually seeing them for a while, and;

2) Those that, not unlike a fart, we may not have seen for a while but is still clearly there…

Jun 21, 2009 - 3:26 am 4. RAH:

At least he is more honest. Biden was absolutly right about Obam being tested. What he did not say is that Obama would fail the tests.

Hilary did but then she was coopted. I wondered the talks she has with Bill these days. She must be totally ticked off.

Jun 21, 2009 - 4:29 am 5. Войска ПВО:

#2 fear,

I think her aides wrestled her to the ground, stuffed a sock in her mouth, and took her to the “undisclosed location” that Dick Cheney used..

..when her popularity numbers were eclipsed by Cheney just recently.

I will truly be sad when Obama and Biden and Pelosi are cast down from teir offices. The high comedy that they will have wrought will be hard to replace with the ordinary sit-com fare we are offered by Hollywood.

(O.k., not truly sad, but somewhat nostalgic for these poster children of incompetence.)

Jun 21, 2009 - 5:08 am 6. houdini1953:

Of course they are underestimating the unemployment rate, I would say 11-14 percent, it is now 11.5% where I live and probably will go higher if the Saturn plant here closes due to GMs bankruptcy.

They lie (the administration and democrats) constantly and I am tired of all these crisis about everything and then the solution ends up creating a disaster.

Jun 21, 2009 - 5:37 am 7. LeighB:

Joe, Joe, Joe…again telling us things we knew about six months ago. Of course they are willing to derail the economy for a while to get more votes. Is it too much to hope that Hillary will run in 2012?

Jun 21, 2009 - 5:50 am 8. Boris:

“The VP in effect admits that his party risked the economy to pander for votes.”

lol. PJM articles don’t even bother to try to make sense anymore.

Jun 21, 2009 - 5:58 am 9. Meryl:

I think the major reason for bambi saying that employment will probably go to at least 10% is so that when it does, he can “claim credit” for saying it would.

Look for statements from him in the future along these liens:

“We expect unemployment now to top 12% by the end of 2009.” (this will boost his approval numbers with regard to economic planning)

“We expect North Korea to launch between 10 and 12 missiles toward Hawaii and Alaska.” (this will boost his approval numbers with regard to foreign affairs)

“We expect the number of uninsured in the country to continue to increase until there are at least 150 million who cannot get health care.” (this will boost his approval numbers with regard to health care)

Of course, the fact that he is almost singlehandedly causing all these destructive things will never be mentioned.

As long as his worshippers have no ability or willingness to think, it truly will not matter one bit whether or not the facts “expose him”.

I agree with houdini1953 re the weariness with his lies. Unfortunately, his lying followers have been lying to themselves about his lies to them, and they have concluded they do not care either about his lies or the results of his lies.

They haven’t just risked the economy: they are risking our national survival, increasingly, every day.

Jun 21, 2009 - 6:09 am 10. Meryl:

Hillary isn’t the only Cabinet Secretary missing in action. Have you not noticed how irrelevant the cabinet members are? How invisible they are? How silent they are?

His czars are the equivalent of the cabinet members of other administrations and the blessing for him is that those czars never had to be approved by the Senate so their politics and their goals have never even gotten close to seeing the light of day. Can you imagine what they actually believe and are working for?

Jun 21, 2009 - 6:12 am 11. seansarto:

Mr. Clinton, Mr. Biden, Mr Obama…will be going to jail.

Jun 21, 2009 - 6:15 am 12. quasar:

I’m wondering why BHO hasn’t thought of making Joe his Birth Certificate/College records protection Czar. They would both be locked down safely for a long while.

Jun 21, 2009 - 6:24 am 13. Kriska:

If Obama wants to really boost his Foreign Affairs approval numbers, he will expect NK will target only Alaska.

Jun 21, 2009 - 6:25 am 14. Bob:

Can anyone doubt that sucking trillions of dollars of spending, both from taxes and borrowing, from the private sector to be spent by Congress isn’t delaying our economic recovery? When the economy eventually rebounds, the politicians of all stripes (and there are far too many Republicans signing on to various spending excesses) will declare victory when, in fact, they did everything in their power to impede the free market. Whether they did this out of malice towards capitalism (Obama) or ignorance (Biden, Pelosi and Reid) of how the economy works, their deeds far exceeded their tired and discredited Keynesian rhetoric. As flawed as his administration was, President G.W. Bush got it right last week when he said: “I know it’s going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we’re in. …You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money.…Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.” Unfortunately, the government under BHO and his allies is NOT creating that environment.

Same old story, politics before country.No respect for the Constitution, no respect for the Bill of Rights and no respect for the American people. Politics first, last and foremost.

It was enough to make one lose faith in the markets-go figure.

Jun 21, 2009 - 6:43 am 17. Sebastian Shaw:

President Obama & Vice President Biden are trying to cover themselves when the unemployment rate hits the dreaded 10% mark; however, all of Obama’s blaming President Bush will fall flat given the source is President Obama’s boondoggle, the so-called “stimulus.”

President Obama’s administration is going to fall on the “stimulus” & he will be hindered doing any other spending such as the awful Cap & Trade, Amnesty, & all of his other tax increases.

Jun 21, 2009 - 6:43 am 18. kevinS:

Boris, I’ve come to expect better repartee from you.

Jun 21, 2009 - 7:24 am 19. Anonymous:

The emperor has no clothes. At some point the ignorant electorate and the propaganda ministers in the MSM will finally admit that the emperor is indeed naked. The question is whether the country can survive long enough for the emperor to put some real clothes on.

Don’t ya’ll go worryin’ yer purdy selves over Grossy Pelosi, now, ya hear? She’s over at Gitmo givin’ some much required readin’ to the ‘Muslim’ folks. ‘Dick and Jane’ just ain’t goin’ over too well with Mufasi and Stupido.

Jun 21, 2009 - 8:00 am 22. Chip:

George W. Bush, who I have mixed feelings about in the first place, sounded like a genius in comparison to the recent rhetoric that has been coming from the mouths of Biden and Obama.

Gibbs can gleefully announce, “We Won,” but in the process, how many of the common working class folks have been hit square between the eyes by the total incompetence we have witnessed during the Obama accent.

If allowed, they will RUIN healthcare in the country beyond repair.

Jun 21, 2009 - 8:10 am 23. Ms. Attitude:

I will never understand why some people voted Democrat because they thought Palin was stupid….and then they voted for the two biggest idiots in the world.

“[...] The White House predicted that unemployment would peak at 8% if the stimulus plan passed, but it’s already at 9.4%. Obama has conceded that it will hit 10%. Odds are that once again he’s underestimating. [...]

Already history, Tom, in California the unemployment went over 11.5% – and in Los Angeles (my place) the economic stoppage is painfully evident on the street, freeway traffic, stores and restaurant attendance.

Jun 21, 2009 - 9:48 am 26. misanthropicus:

The way to correctly view the billions and billions spent so far is to see those money as an electoral slush fund, topping the already $700 millions raised by Soetor on the (ostensibly) Internet from (certifiably) uncertifiable figures/ entities.

Jun 21, 2009 - 9:52 am 27. Stevemmn:

Joe Biden is the reason why I don’t make an issue of Obama’s eligibility. I am perfectly willing to bury my head in the sand and accept Obama’s claim without proof that he is qualified to serve as president in order to prevent a complete moron from taking power.

Jun 21, 2009 - 10:41 am 28. Steve:

Surely Stevemmn you do not mean to say that Joe Biden is stupid, incompetent, ignorant of facts or history do you. Why did so many people vote (ACORN fraud and illegal contributions of millions) for this great team. You should be glad that history was made in the past election and I hope that history will again be made in 2010 when most all democrats and liberal RINOs are booted out, and then after all the misery caused by this badministration starts to sink in that Obami will just be a faded memory.

You assume that the people behind this giant sucking understand that the private sector is more efficient in allocating capital than the public sector. They don’t. They’d rather see “central planning” than let the hundreds of thousands of private businesses that exist in the US do their own planning and spending.

I read a comment on another site that the problem with the Republican version of a tax-cut led stimulus was that it showed “the GOP has no plan”. No, it shows that the GOP doesn’t have the hubris to think it can out-plan millions of individuals. The other complaint about tax cuts was that “they’ll just go to paying down debt”. Again, as if individuals cannot figure out if their best option for their cash is to pay down interest-bearing debt or increase consumption.

With all that human beings know about “central planning”, these people either have to be the least historically-informed or the stupidest individuals to ever collectively walk the face of the earth.

I will “plan” my own f*cking self, thank you very much.

Jun 21, 2009 - 2:40 pm 32. Brian Richard Allen:

Plugs Biden is evidence only that the minders of that sail-eared simpleton who is currently both the world’s most dangerous retard and the pretender to the presidency: the self-and-own-culture-loathing marijuana-mumbling, mobbed-up, Mussolini-modeled-modified-Marxist, murtadd-Muslim empty-galabia-glove-puppet: Say-ed Buraq Hussayn bin Buraq Hussayn bin Hussayn Muhummud Ubambi, (AKA Herr Zero) endeavored to emulate the successful tactics of those earlier minders. The minders of the recidivist, treasonous, lying, looting, thieving, mass-murdering, co-serial-rapist, Billy-Bubbah Blythe Cli’ton!

Which tactics, of course, involved the Cli’ton minders’ choice of the world’s then most dangerous dullard, one Al-Fredo Goreleone.

Who, as bad as the RICO-racketeering repeat rapist behaved, was never going to be let loose — not even by other “Democrats” — on the United States presidency.

This time, however, the current holder of the title of World’s Most Dangerous Retard has made it into our office. And must be gotten rid of by any means allowed by America’s Founding Law.

For despite that Noddy Biden is every bit as stupid and is demonstrably as abjectly amoral as is Big Ears, he is not half as evil or as un-and-anti-American. And there is no evidence Biden hates America, as, undeniably, does Herr Zero and does his every visible supporter.

To Steve and Brian Richard Allen who claim Biden would be better, or less bad than Obama:

You make good points. It is a sick choice, is it better to be ruled by a (politically) clever but malevolent Machiavellian or a (somewhat) goodhearted fool. Biden is already playing at the top of his game (which is a sad commentary on how little it takes to remain a US Senator). As a new guy I guess I was hoping Obama would eventually wise up and see the error of his ways but that may be hopeless.

Jun 21, 2009 - 4:23 pm 34. Marie Devine:

Evidence shows Barack Obama was an Indonesian citizen in the US on a student visa even after his parents were divorced when he was over 18 years old. That is why he did not register for the selective service, he was not required to, being a foreign citizen. Then he had to create one for the campaign when questions were asked.

The charges and evidences against Barack Obama are on my website, court style:
http://www.divine-way.com/forgery_evidences_sss_reg_colb_birth_cert_for_obama_impeachment.html
and
http://obama-birth-cert-forged-sss-impeach.blogspot.com

A copy was sent to Barack Obama and US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald. Both were sent about 2-11-09. Barack Obama clearly thinks he has something to hide.

Email the president that you want this controversy ended, http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ The president, administration and Congress, and media will only press the president to quickly end this controversy if the people press them for a quick end. He should easily be able to end this controversy with proofs he has held as hidden. The president is open for blackmail from his own administration and others. This is serious and he cannot get out without prayer.

Has anyone been in the position of having to work for a boss 20 years younger than you? I have; twice. I knew they were assholes and had little idea what they were doing; but, there was nothing I could do or was allowed to do. I think Joe is a good American. He might be a buffoon at times. He makes me shake my head and laugh, but in these times this helps.

Jun 21, 2009 - 7:36 pm 36. DavidD:

Tom,

You may want to clarify that the antecedent of “they” in the last paragraph of page 1 is the Democrat party currently in the White House and not the Republican party that had been in the White House in June of last year.

Is it just me or does Biden remind others of Barney Fife?

It is a favorite tactic of the left to demonize by declaring the opponent politician to be stupid. We heard this about GWB and Ms Palin repeatedly in the last national election cycle. Here’s the difference; Biden really is pretty dim and he shows that to be true several times a week. The possibility that President Obama could be succeded by a person of such demonstrably limited intelligence is disquieting to say the least. Biden also reminds me of Colonel Klink from “Hogan’s Heros”. He shows himself to be a dundering, thundering fool. It’s the consistency of his misstatements that reveal his limited intelectual ability. Like Klink, he is also prone to self aggrandizement and personal self promotion. Biden graduated 63 out of 67 in his law school class.

There is a lot to dislike about President Obama, but as misguided as his policies may be, he is not stupid. The same can’t be said about the Vice President.

Jun 21, 2009 - 9:09 pm 38. progressoverpeace:

As long as Obama’s protection is in place, Biden can continue to be the gaffe-prone politician who has almost surely piled up more flubs and follies since his August 2008 selection as VP than the thirty Dan Quayle allegedly accumulated in four years. At least Quayle could count to four (Biden has shown that he can’t) and knows the difference between a plus sign and a minus sign (Biden doesn’t, at least when talking about Louisiana). As long as the president is safe, we can relax knowing that Biden’s ego-aggrandizing rewrites of history will be of no significance beyond their entertainment value.

I’m a little lost in this. The Precedent makes more gaffes and more idiotic statements than Biden does – and they are dumber, too. From “57 states” (which is a mistake that no one raised in America would ever make) to “profit and earnings ratios” – which not only showed a clear lack of understanding of what a P-E ratio is, but failed to recognize that profits and earnings are the same thing, and, worst of all, showed the unbelievably weird attempt to describe factors in a ratio by “and”! The next thing you know, The PRecedent will be talking about speed limits as “65 minutes and hours”, which is pretty much the equivalent of what he did say. The Precedent makes these awfully stupid statements all the time. It’s just that they never get covered for more than a day.

Yes, Crazy Joe Biden is a moron, but The Precedent is even dumber, and his mistakes are deep and fundamental … enough that it should send chills up everyone’s spine.

Jun 22, 2009 - 4:41 am 39. Gary Ogletree:

At this point I would prefer Clueless Joe as Prez. Dumb as he is, I don’t think he hates this country.

Jun 22, 2009 - 5:58 am 40. tanstaafl:

I agree (#38) that the gaffe-alocious, pretender to grandiosity Joe Biden is less dangerous than his immediate boss.

However, if the best we can do for #1 is a flaming narcissist who chastises us for not speaking Spanish and doesn’t speak a foreign language himself (not even the language that isn’t a language “Austrian”) who said the oil problem could be solved through tire inflation (and still got elected), whose own academic course was paved by affirmative action (he has that in common with Sotomayor), whose own undergraduate performance at Columbia was, apparently, too lousy to advertise…and the best we can do for #2 is a goofball, and #’s 3 & 4 (Nancy & Harry) are nuts…and Barney & Chris (who personally helped make the housing debacle happen are now in charge of orchestrating policy for deeper government regulation of the financial system…)

It seems like anyone who is dreaming of statesmen & stateswomen in the tradition of an Abraham Lincoln or a Winston Churchill had better just stay asleep for the moment.

Jun 22, 2009 - 6:50 am 41. Created Soul:

I happen to think tanking the economy was done for much more than the 08 vote. Isn’t is interesting everytime the economy begins to make some progress conveniently it is knocked back down to the 8000 level.

When you want domination and control fear is your greatest ally. But short term fear won’t give you that kind of domination. Keeping the economic turmoil going is key to gaining complete and unchallenged domination. Take away or seriously diminishing someone’s earnings and they will fall in line with whatever or whoever they are told has a job for them. And we all know who the biggest employer in the US is now don’t we?

The economy will remain tanked only to make a blissfully ignorant recovery just in time for the 2010 election only to be followed by a “set back” that will be described as one of the few remaining hiccups of Bush economic mistakes. This is the hiccup that will further last lifting again just in time for the 2012 elections. In 2012 the charade will be over and the campaign for global dominance will begin. The difference is this won’t be for America. The campaign will be far more individual.

Anyone who thinks the economy was tanked for just one election cycle has seriously underestimated this administration and their ravenous hunger for power.

#36, a minor change was made at my suggestion in response to your suggestion. Thx.

Jun 22, 2009 - 9:11 am 43. Kurt:

I’m with those who think Biden would be a better President than Obama. Sure, the gaffes and the cluelessness would continue unabated, but at least the press wouldn’t be in awe of the man, and the public would recognize sooner what the political classes are trying to do.

Jun 22, 2009 - 10:31 am 44. progressoverpeace:

#43 Kurt: but at least the press wouldn’t be in awe of the man,

That is the most important point of all. Thanks for stating it so clearly, Kurt. If Crazy Joe were President, at least we’d have a President that the press wouldn’t be scared of making fun of and being honest about, rather than what we currently have, which is a Precedent that the press is scared to say anything bad about, due to the PC shield of his skin color.

Having a President, even Crazy Joe, would be much prefered to having a Precedent, as we are currently stuck with.

biden is a zero has always been a zero and he and his family will always be a zero. dose he really think the american people that him and obama lied to are going to forgive him on election day . as far as barney franks , i can`t understand why they put al capone in jail and he still is walking free, al capone has done nothing compare to what barny has done.oh you say barney never killed anyone,mabey not but i still remember the killing in his apartment, and lets remember marilyn monroe, and maryjo and her unborn baby at marthas vinyard. peloski, reid. frank ,boxer , diane feinstein. , obama, and the rest of you i can honestly tell you i have flushed away stuff that has more intgrity than all of you. but i do understand this is something you all are not to blame for . i realise you can`t make smart decisions after all your all dumbocrats. an ex democrat who quit the party years ago.you notice i said democrat , because i smartened up and left.

Biden would have the whole world laughing and perhaps stop fighting long enough to see what he’s going to say next..stupidity seems to pur from his mouth…yet his district put him in office year after year, and then want to “save” the spot for his unproven son..!! OMG we deserve what we get!! He should be in Iran…the cleric would have surrendered and run by now..again, we get what we ask for.

The press is in ” awe” of “the puppet president” because they want to be part of “history” and try to curry favor..his little press conference today was interesting, he got a little testy…because “he’s the president!, that’s why’…

I think all the elected officials in Washington are disgusting. We put them there…and we keep putting them there, year after year…so what ever happens is our own fault, okay, not mine…I am not in awe of “handsome” (yuck), “religion”, “color”, “education”, “wife” etcetcetc…he grew up with a white family, duel citizenship, (which should be illegal) went to excellent schools and still the public believes he’s a ghetto kid who struggled and “understands” their struggle..?? huh?? the uninformed, uneducated, uncaring for their fellowman voted Biden and BO in, only the general public can vote them out..lets see how stupid we are as a voting body come 2010..and 2012, I will bet, BO and Biden go back in office…

I believe Obama hates f our economy and how Acorn and the BO socialists will rush in and “save” us, and there will be idoits that will believe it..so what can we do>>> VOTE the people in WAshington out!!

Jun 23, 2009 - 5:38 pm 47. chris/independent:

sorry the last sentence came out blurred…

should read..

I believe Obama hates our America and what it stands for. When our economy fails and Acorn and BO and his socialists cronies rush in and “save us”, there will still be idoits that will believe he’s the saviour!..so what can we do…VOTE the people in Washington out!!

I actually like Biden (not his politics) exactly because he says unguarded stuff. He was always good on Sunday mornings.
