#1 Cleveland.com mentioned this:
Signs of the community’s still-hurt feelings were evident. Some people shouted profanity at Biden as his motorcade whisked him into town from an earlier stop in Darlington Township, Pennsylvania, where he greeted local officials and first responders. A sign invoked the illness of the president’s late son, Beau, who died of brain cancer.

#6 His "speech" was hard to watch. He spent a lot of time looking down at his printed speech and mumbled a lot. He walks as if it's painful, shuffling along.

#7 After all this time, why did he even bother? What did he and his handlers think could be gained? I know they're crooked but are they really that stupid as well?

#8 From Frank G's link, "An act of greed that was 100 percent preventable."

Yeah, and if Pete had been doing his job it would have been prevented. Sorry, Pete. Sorry, Joe. It happened on your watch. You own it.

#9 "We need a trip to Palestine."

Must have been a miscommunication with scheduling, like that super bowl team which booked Randy Moss. The old white guy Randy Moss. Ooops.
