Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that it was a “poor choice of words” for him to use the term “Shylocks” in a recent speech.

Joe Biden: I was wrong to say ‘Shylocks’

“People would come up to him and talk about what was happening to them at home in terms of foreclosures, in terms of bad loans that were being - I mean, these Shylocks who took advantage of these women and men while overseas,” Biden said.

Oops.

Biden had a bad PC day. Where does he stand on the Redskins again?

Vice President Joe Biden apologized to Jewish groups for describing some bankers as "Shylocks." Apparently, he referred to China as "the Orient" hours after the first gaffe.

LOL I'd like see Obama impeached, but to have the walking gaffe Biden as POTUS would be icing!

Dumb and Creepy

On Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden swore in members of the Senate that were either newly elected or reelected. As is the custom, senators are joined by their families for a photo op after the ceremony.

As has also become the custom, Biden jokes around with the family, often giving some members a hug or kiss.

But Sen. Chris Coons’ daughter wasn’t fully into Biden’s charm.

After Biden inaudibly whispered something in her ear for a few seconds, he went in for the kiss. And it didn’t quite go as planned.

No. Contact. Made.

Obama Says POLITICIANS INVENTED COLLEGE
http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/22/obama-says-politicians-invented-college-video/

In one of his much-hyped interviews with YouTube stars on Thursday, President Barack Obama declared that politicians created colleges and universities through big-government legislation.

“The truth of the matter is: The reason we even have colleges is that at some point there were politicians who said, ‘You know what? We should start colleges,’” Obama suggested to interviewer Bethany Mota.

LOL

Well, hell, Barry! While you're at it, why not just take credit for sliced bread, the wheel, and fire, too?

I'm not sure which alternative is worse: that Obama is such a fuckwit that he actually believes this bullshit ... or that he doesn't believe it, but expects enough other people to be such fuckwits that they'll believe it ... or that he doesn't believe it, and doesn't expect other people to believe it, but says it anyway ...

Is it sad that I do believe the majority of people who watched the Youtube interviews believed Obama?

It's sad no matter how you slice it.

If A = "a significant number of people actually did believe (or would believe) what Obama said," and
if B = "an insignificant number of people actually did believe (or would believe) what Obama said," and
if X = "Obama expected A to be true when he said what he said," and
if Y = "Obama expected B to be true when he said what he said,"

then there is no possible combination of A or B with respect to X or Y that does not represent a totally fucked-up situation.

IOW: We are so screwed ...

Rep. Cummings: People ‘Come to Government To Feed Their Souls’

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Elijah Cummings (D–Md.) says, “so many people come to government knowing that they are not going to make the kind of money they would make in the private sector but they come to government to feed their souls.”

Cummings was speaking in Washington D.C. at the Legislative Conference of the National Treasury Employees Union on February 4th when he made the comments.

“People do not seem to understand that so many people come to government knowing that they are not going to make the kind of money that they would make in the private sector but they come to government to feed their souls,” Cummings told the audience.

The Maryland Democrat also told union members that getting federal workers a raise higher than the one proposed in President Obama’s budget is among his priorities.

“So what are my priorities? What’s my reason for being here?” Cummings said. “My ardent priority is to do whatever I can to help federal workers obtain fair compensation and meaningful pay raises.”

“President Obama’s budget for the next year recommends a 1.3% pay raise for federal employees I believe this is to low. I love the president but I believe this is far too low, far too low.”

“That’s why I co-sponsored with Representative (Gerry) Connelly (D-Va.) the FAIR Act. Which would raise pay up to 3.8% - even that’s too low."

A December 2014 Cato Institute report on federal and private sector worker pay finds, “In 2013 federal civilian workers had an average wage of $81,076, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. By comparison, the average wage of the nation’s 107 million private-sector workers was $55,424.”

When benefits like health care and pensions are included, "federal worker compensation averaged $115,524, or 74 percent more than the private-sector average of $66,357."

A 2012 Congressional Budget Office report shows that overall compensation for federal workers is 16% higher than for private sector workers, with private sector workers with bachelor’s degrees making $7.50 less per hour on average.
