Obama “Explains” Biden Comment

Biden is going to provide all sorts of entertainment for the next few years.

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.

At least picking Biden gave Obama “gravitas” and secured the great state of Deleware for the Democrats.
