April 30, 2009— -- Democrats hustled to temper Vice President Joe Biden's comments today that he would advise his family to avoid flying or being in confined spaces because of concerns about swine flu, a comment that drew criticism from the travel industry.
When asked by ABC News' Jake Tapper whether the White House had a response to Biden's comments, Gibbs replied: "I think ... what the vice president meant to say was the same thing that again, many members have said in the last few days, that is, if you feel sick, if you are exhibiting flulike symptoms -- coughing, sneezing, runny nose -- that you should take precautions, that you should limit your travel."
Gibbs apologized if anyone was "unduly" alarmed but did not elaborate.
"Jake, I'm telling you what he meant to say," he said to laughter.

If I wanted to watch two dementia patients yell at each other I’d go down to the nursing home and throw rocks at a couple of them when their backs are turned.

I have watched Trump take questions for an hour on any and every topic you could imagine, to the point where I'm thinking the press, MSM,are trying to trip him up and he handles them very well. I am amazed at how on top of the issues he is and then he heads off to Marine 1.
Surely you've seen this "pressers", right?
Someone with dementia would not be able to handle the questions like he does.

There hasn’t been a “presser” in over a year. The current White House Press Secretary has more DUI’s under her belt than press conferences.
That’s not even a joke.

I think Biden and Trump might be on level ground as it stands.
Biden can't keep track of what state his in, but then again, Trump doesn't have much 'winning' he can claim or brag about.
So yeah, both of them are going to be pretty cringeworthy in any real debate.

President Trump better take the gloves off completely because if you see him give any slack to Mr. Biden, it'll just be further confirmation of "the club" protecting their own. At least IMO.

Right.
After Cleveland and assuming Joe is the Democrat nominee Joe will see things a little different.
For one he will have to stay and answer some questions unlike what he did today which was nothing short of running out after giving a teleprompted message. Just wait until he has to take questions on different topics like Trump does, then we will see if he has what it takes. I am thinking he does not and will get frustrated and challenge someone to pushups.
