Joe Biden update: Iraq one of Obama’s ‘great achievements’

[i]Who knew?

Thank goodness, Vice President Joe Biden went on CNN to chat with Larry King Wednesday night. So many think things are not going so well for the Democrat administration, as The Ticket chronicled here.

Many Americans recall the ex-Sen. Biden’s Democratic primary plans to give in to Iraq’s fractious factions and carve the country into three territories. And even more probably recall Biden’s boss’ plan to halt the Iraq war years ago. As long as it got started anyway without the permission of the then state senator.

Plus, of course, Obama’s vehement opposition to the 2007 American troop surge of you-know-who from Texas that Obama knew for certain was only going to worsen sectarian strife there. (See 2007 video here.)…[/i]

…

Now, the Obama-Biden pair that opposed the Iraq war and its tactics and predicted their failure is prepared to accept credit for its success.

Is it that he is a full-blown idiot, or that he thinks we are idiots?

3

Does Joe have any one single redeeming quality about himself?

I agree. I don’t think the options are mutually exclusive.

And to think, the left screamed about the Palin nomination with the whole she’s-a-heartbeat-away-from-the-presidency thing, piled on top of the Palin-is-an-idiot thing.

Are we supposed to believe Biden is brighter than Palin? Because he IS a heartbeat away. Then again, could he (or a cardboard box for that matter) do much worse than the current CIC?

Palin IS an idiot. Biden just says crazy shit every once in a while (OK, maybe a little more than that). There’s a huge difference. Biden over Palin as CIC all day.

You guys are gonna eat your words when he invents the internet.

Oh, look! Joe Biden saw teh, uh, 3-D thing, teh, uh, science fiction thing, uh, unfolded in front of him…

x2. Personally, I think insanity, incompetency, and/or stupidity are requirements for a career in politics. I trust none and abhor the Dem/Repub US vs. THEM crap that has polarized this country. Nero fiddles…

Yeah, what was I thinking? This clown is a fucking genius:

14

Joe, tell us about your future boss!

No, seriously, as a non-Democrat and non-Republican, I can only feel relief in total and complete deadlock in Congress. If nothing is happening, then my liberties are not being stripped. Thank God for polarity.

Well, while that could be considered for use as a standard reference to use for Obama, I find it a lot easier to call him “The One” than “The First Mainstream African-American Who Is Articulate and Bright And Clean and a Nice-Looking Guy.”

It’s just sort of unwieldy.

And most would probably not figure out what “The FMAAWIABCNLG” meant.

Biden has always been kinda enigmatic to me. A guy like Chucky is just a plain lowlife. Pelosi is a genuine dunce. Reid is a less polished version of Chucky. Frank is a breathtakingly bold liar. But JB?

I dunno. He is like the most honest and sincere deluded ego maniacal loose cannon I’ve ever heard of in modern US politics. I rarely get the impression that he is outright designing to deceive to me, but he is all the time belching eyeball crossing bullshit. He usually sounds like he actually believes what he is saying, but only somebody with a unique metaphysical gift whereby they can actually will themselves to forget could really believe it. You may say “well, he’s just that accomplished and seasoned a bullshitter”. With anybody else I would agree, but with him it isn’t so clear.

I mean this. The guy gives me the creeps. He is a truly bizarre personality.

I’ve met a few people where I’m pretty sure that they actually believe the strange and quite untrue things they are saying.

Psychologically it is probably more complex, as a personal guess, where information that is true – whether about one’s own actions or what one has seen or has been told or knows or so forth – actually is in the brain somewhere, but a created fantasy also exists and the person’s memory accesses the created fantasy instead of the real memories.

This is more plausible than it might seem at first glance.\

It appears to me that most people fail to distinguish between direct remembrance – accessing what was stored at the time, or more precisely what was put into long-term storage from short-term memory shortly after the event – and what I call indirect memory.

An example of direct memory would be remembering standing in a particular place, looking down at the dresser, and seeing your keys there. Ah, that’s where they are!

An indirect memory would be remembering having thought some time after that, the keys are on the dresser.

An example of failed indirect memory would be thinking, “I think I left my keys in the car” and then hours after that faultily accessing that and “remembering” that you left the keys in the car, when in fact you did not.

And most people, it seems to me, when remembering this way do NOT make the distinction that it is an indirect recollection. No, to them they remember the keys are in the car and that is that.

So all that takes for a Biden to do as he does is to create fantasies, alternate realities where he and Obama are responsible for success in Iraq or what have you.

And then, when (to his mind) remembering, it’s indirect memory not direct, and it is the thought of the fantasy that is being remembered.

Yes, a non-deluded person wouldn’t do that, but…

Whip out a history book and you just might find that this “crap that has polarized this country” started in the 1780s. It continued in the 1790s. And throughout the 19th century. Then the entire 20th century produced this abhorrent polarization too. In fact, it can easily be proven that politics today is a relatively calm, peaceful enterprise. In the past it was much more vicious.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Polarization especially in politics can be a good thing. Without poles you have no equator.

I disagree. Gridlock accomplishes nothing, at least not for those of us in the middle class. Every time the far right and far left put up road blocks and attack each other we’re the one’s who get clubbed. Not loving it. And, as long as I’ve been alive, I have never seen it this bad. People at work practically come to blows in front of the television at break time and I don’t see it coming to an end.

Obama chosen Biden, about as low on the totem pole he dared go, in order to look good by comparison.
