Vice President Joe Biden got a laugh from his audience at a Wisconsin fundraising event Thursday when he tried to rile the crowd about the economic collapse of 2008.
“We want to reward people who manufacture things in the United States, in Wisconsin, not to take them overseas to China and to other countries!” he said to a silent room at the event for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tom Barrett, according to a White House pool report.
He continued, saying, “You’re the dullest audience I’ve ever spoken to," at which point he got applause and laughs. "Do you realize how many jobs Wisconsin lost? It’s staggering!"
Hey, Joe, the rhetoric is a no-go. Let's see, he has told Dems to stop whining, he wants to strangle the Repubs if they bring up the deficit again and now insults an audience by calling them dull. I wonder if he realizes they were laughing AT HIM and not WITH HIM?
Here is the really funny part, the Dems are sending Joe out because Obama is so toxic. Looks like the Dems are in a situation of pick your poison at this point.
Dull speaker, dull audience. It's as simple as that, Mr. Vice President!
Oh, BTW, have you got anything to say that the administration is working on that may create real long-term jobs? ... Some real competitive advantages in this U.S.? That just may wake up your audience...
