Obama throws Biden under the bus

Pity poor Joe Biden. His "there's still a 30 percent chance we're going to get it wrong" quote is put straight to President Barack Obama during the White House press conference just now and his boss seemed to want to say: "Vice-President Who?"

As reporters started giggling, Obama came close to conceding that Biden was indeed a joke. "You know, I don't remember exactly what Joe was referring to, not surprisingly."

The President went on to say that "I think what Joe may have been suggesting, although I wouldn't ascribe any numerical percentage to any of this, is that given the magnitude of the challenges that we have, any single thing that we do is going to be part of the solution, not all of the solution."

Of course, Biden wasn't saying anything of the sort - Obama knew that and all the rest of us did too.

Barack did fine answering it, but come on, I think the prez has more pressing matters to concern himself with than a baseball player who makes more money in one year ($25M+) than any of us combined will achieve in our lifetime (sans maybe the Aboiters and LTRT ).

Hey while you're at it, why don't you ask him how he thinks the ChiSox will do this year?

I just didn't think last night was the time or place for that question.

Better watch it there, FF will accuse you of distorting the truth and tells us that if Bush would've answered more questions like that then the country wouldn't be in the shape that it is.
