What's absurd is how quick you are to jump on Biden like this is some cataclysmic gaff and another example of how we're all going to hell. There's more energy being poured into fake outrage over Obama since his inauguration than there is going towards legitimate criticism.

Perhaps that should tell you something about yourself.

I'm glad that you can relate to the common folks and see how they might interpret things.

If you re-read my post, I'm just paraphrasing what I read on MSNBC today. I'm definitley not saying it's a "cataclismic gaff", I'm saying that maybe he needs to think a little more about what he's going to say in an instance where the public is already a bit freaked out.

If you actually took the time to read many of my posts, you'll see that I don't pour any energy into "fake outrage" against Obama. If anything, I'm probably more willing to take the "wait and see if things get better" approach with him than many people posting in here. I think most, if not all criticism I've levied against him has had a solid basis.

And "perhaps that should tell you something about yourself" doesn't make sense as a sentence. You could have left out "perhaps" and you would have still come across as a smug know it all.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
