VP Joe Biden on Today with Meredith Vieira. He responds with some curious answers….a little off.
Vieira asks when the unemployed will find jobs.
BIDEN: Well, I say, they’re going to start to see unemployment grow this Spring.
VIEIRA: You mean employment.
BIDEN: They’re going to see unemployment abate…going to see a net increase in jobs…going to give people hope.
VIEIRA mentions how barry keeps talking about ‘Washington” and wants to know how long he can continue to serparate himself.
BIDEN: Well, you know, look, that’s the reason he ran for president – to separate the future from the past.
Complains about the Reps saying “no”.
VIEIRA asks if the Dems have the “stomach” to get things done.
BIDEN: Had we won that race, what would people be saying? It wouldn’t have changed materially one way or another the state of the nation had we won or lost that race. We’d still have 59 votes.
VIEIRA: I know he’s the teacher’s pet here, but what grade would you give the president for his address last night?
BIDEN: A+ but then again I’m prejudiced. Let me step back [shakes his head] at least an A. [laughs] Totally objective.
He made sure not to get that question wrong. If he did, he’d be on the next plane back to Baghdad.
