It Ain't Funny Joe!

Did you ever make a statement that the moment it slipped out of your mouth you wished you could pull it back in ? I know I'm not alone in this , yet many people refuse to admit to these vocal mis-steps . Sometimes they can be quite humorous , Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley once said "this is the greatest country in the nation " and " The police are not here to promote rioting , they are here to preserve it. " Although he was not a great orator he managed to remain mayor until his death in 1976 , and has managed to pass the torch of leadership to his son Richie who also has a great command of verbiage nearly equal to his dad's. We now have some one who is just as entertaining in high office today.Who is it you ask , why it's Joe Biden , our vice-president and resident comic relief in the White House . I'll admit Joe does have a certain charm and likability about him , he's glib and smiley and knows how to work a crowd . As a man is he qualified to be a heart beat away from the presidency , well I have my own opinion in this matter . Joe graduated college 506th. in a class of 688 , not the brightest bulb on the tree , in law school he was accused of plagiarism , was allowed to retake the course and received an "F" which was miraculously removed from his records . This inauspicious collegiate record has to be of some concern to any of us who would prefer a brighter guy in case he would have to fill the most important seat in our government , to say nothing of leadership of the free world . Joe has said "We need to spend more money in order to stay out of debt." , and this unforgettable quote, " When president Roosevelt addressed the nation about the depression he got on television to let the whole nation know what his plans would be. " , not much on t.v. in the late 1930's. Is this the judgement we should pay alot of attention to? Joe made a statement yesterday about our troop strength in Afghanistan , he has recommended we should not send further troops to the area and begin a withdrawal from the area . Is it in the best interest of the American people to show weakness to the Taliban at a time when the middle-east is heating up to what may be Biblical proportions . I hope Mr. Obama will discount Joe's counsel in this vital matter of national security. I know the far left wants immediate withdrawal from all of our military commitments , but , this is no time for political pandering to his base supporters . We can't afford any political gaffes in this matter , please Mr. President don't listen to Joe this time the results may not be very funny especially for the people of America.
