And now, a moment with Joe Biden…
BIDEN: …and so, I’m always so proud of our fine military men and women. True heroes, every last one of them. We were at a military base just the other day, Fort Buckner in Kentucky, I believe it was. And, I was privileged to meet a fine Marine, Petty Officer Michael Simpson. And what a pleasure it was to meet him. And he said, “Joe, all of us guys are a little worried that President Obama might not be re-elected. We’ve never had a president that treated us half as well as Barack Obama does. And, the guys are so worried that Mitt Romney might pull this thing off.” He said, “We don’t go to bed at night in fear of the Taliban. We don’t worry about IED’s. What really scares us is the thought that there’s a slight possibility that President Obama might not get re-elected.” And, I don’t blame him. You notice, since Barack took office you don’t hear about our soldiers getting wounded or killed in Afghanistan anymore. Under George W. Bush it was such a mess. It was just a tragedy of errors. And it seemed every day you’d turn on the news and there would be these tragic deaths at the hands of the Taliban. But, since Barack took office you notice you don’t hear those stories on the news anymore. And, that’s because of the leadership of Barack Obama. From the moment he became the Commander-In-Chief, he took control of the situation over there and military casualties are just not something you hear about anymore…
This has been a moment with Joe Biden.
When will the “And now, a moment with Joe Biden” coffee table book be available? Hard copy please. I hate having to plug in a book.
@1 Sure… just go here:

and hit “print” 🙂
SoB, this one is especially good.
“a fine Marine, Petty Officer…”
Petty Officer is a NAVY rank. I bet this Michael Simpson doesn’t exist (or, if he does, he’s a civilian on Joe’s staff).
Harvey=worst book salesman ever
Charlie Chaplain studied/analyzed humor. One of the things he pointed out was that for something to be funny it should have just a touch of truth or just might be true.
This piece fills the bill. This is exactly something Joe B. would mouth. Complete with the gaffe Mary Fernandez pointed to.
One more thing just occurred to me (I’m slow but not as slow as Joe):
Ft Buckner is an ARMY post in JAPAN. There are no Navy/Marine bases in KENTUCKY. (It’s hard to sail there from either coast!)
Mary – that is the true beauty of Son of Bob’s work – those little artistic subtleties that just make the whole piece work so well.
I think Mary Fernandez might be on to us…
Harvey, Bob:
LOL! Maybe I AM slower than Joe! (It just sounds so much LIKE him). 😉
Son of Bob is good at that, isn’t he, Mary? We will be keeping an eye on him after the elections to see if he can recover from thinking like Uncle Choo Choo on his own, or if we will need to have him committed for detox or deprogramming, which ever is applicable. You know he has to be accumulating brain damage from thinking like Biden. I just hope isn’t irreversable.
