Further evidence that Obama carries narcisistic tendancies. Surrounding himelf with people that are so dumb, he looks smart by comparrison.
Now a wise man would surround himself with smart people because no-one knows everything.
Except (cough) Obama.

I'm not basing my opinion on Giuliani. Giuliani is comfirming what I already thought!
How is he doing that?
Oh by exactly what I just posted. Saying something and you are swallowing it.
I never said you based your opinion on what he said. I did say you were just eating it up though.
I accept your apology. It takes a big man to admit when he's a lackey for the DNC.
*applause*

Ryan not so much. Palin? Good lord, Id take biden over that idiot in a second.
CNET reported in 2008:
Months before the Oklahoma City bombing took place, Biden introduced another bill called the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995. It previewed the 2001 Patriot Act by allowing secret evidence to be used in prosecutions, expanding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and wiretap laws, creating a new federal crime of “terrorism” that could be invoked based on political beliefs, permitting the U.S. military to be used in civilian law enforcement, and allowing permanent detention of non-U.S. citizens without judicial review.* The Center for National Security Studies said the bill would erode“constitutional and statutory due process protections” and would “authorize the Justice Department to pick and choose crimes to investigate and prosecute based on political beliefs and associations.”
Biden himself draws parallels between his 1995 bill and its 2001 cousin. “I drafted a terrorism bill after the Oklahoma City bombing. And the bill John Ashcroft sent up was my bill,” he said when the Patriot Act was being debated, according to the New Republic, which described him as “the Democratic Party’s de facto spokesman on the war against terrorism.”
Biden’s proposal probably helped to lay the groundwork for the Bush administration’s Patriot Act.
The Center for National Securities reported in 1995:
On February 10, 1995, a counterterrorism bill drafted by the Clinton
Administration was introduced in the Senate as S. 390 and in the House of
Representatives as H.R. 896.

I have my bets that Biden can point a shotgun in a better direction than Cheney.

Well at least Palin didn't write the core of the PATRIOT ACT

Well in all fairness it was crayon. He could have borrowed Michelle Bachmann's finger paints to do it.

The next year, months before the Oklahoma City bombing took place, Biden introduced another bill called the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995.

How about quoting from a NON-BIAS source!
Right-wingers are desperate folks lately. They know Paul Ryan is a FAIL with the HUGE majority of American citizens who are NOT BILLIONAIRES.
Paul Ryan and Romney = Beavis and Butthead anyways.edit on 15-8-2012 by HangTheTraitors because: (no reason given)
Which one is Beavis and which one is Butthead?
Just curious.

A failed presidential candidate says that the current VP is not that bright and to you, that explains everything?
I am curious why we are considering Captain Profit from 9/11 an expert on the IQ of anyone?
The Obama campaign told the Hill on Tuesday that it “is confident Vice President Biden will be an effective foil” for Paul Ryan despite Biden’s latest gaffe. I’m not so sure, and neither are some Democrats.
