[GRABIEN] Sounding very much like a candidate for president, today Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body... spoke at an AFL-CIO Labor Day event in Pittsburgh, Pa. "I'm mad, I'm angry," Biden thundered, attacking the U.S. economy as "devastating for workers."
Biden, who is openly considering running against Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another William H. Seward ... in the Democratic primary, thanked "my friend" Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO. "
"There wouldn't be a single basic right, from a 40-hour week to sick leave, there wouldn't a single basic right out there ... but for labor," Biden said. "You build the middle class. That's not an exaggeration."
The vice president also attacked growing inequality.
"Let me tell you something, man," Biden said. "The tax code's not fair. The wealthy aren't paying their fair share."
"Today 1 percent of Americans owns 40 percent of all wealth in America," the vice president said. "A level playing field doesn't exist."
"It's the way the tax code has been setup," Biden charged.

"It's the way the tax code has been setup," Biden charged.
This after hiding a massive income tax increase in the ACA, which will hit the middle class hard next spring.
Biden and his ilk are consummate bullsh*t artists.

He's the best the Democrats can do. And if the American people are stupid enough to elect Obama and consider a cut the Cheese like Hillary, they will be stupid enough to put up a total Squirrel as President.
Remember "Breck Boy" Edwards and Kerry groping one another out on the campaign trail. ? There is no end to it for Democrats.
Where does the Democratic Party GET its supply of rancid med gobblling Bozos?

Right on Mr. G. LBJ and the Great Society began as air conditioning moved into use everywhere(and food stamps). Kept-em off the streets. Always on those hot summer city days trouble developed. In DC the humidity would shut things down in summer. Pull the plug and they will go home. Narrow stairways. Too hot to go up to second floor. City people spent the evenings on the front stoops. Seemed it took hours to cool down. Then it started all over again next day.
DEMOCRATS SEE NO IRONY IN RUNNING AGAINST THEMSELVES: Well, that’s often the case when a Democrat running for president has to run against while the current Democrat is still in office making a mess of the country with his socialist policies — Bobby Kennedy ran in ’68 in opposition to not just only the escalation of the Vietnam War by LBJ, but also against the sunny “can do” optimism of his brother’s New Frontier. In 2000, Al Gore rejected Bill Clinton’s centrist policies and their success; as Michael Kinsley noted immediately before the election, the punitive leftism of Gore boiled down to an attitude of “You’ve never had it so good, and I’m mad as hell about it.”
Remember for the Left, there is only one fundamental precept - power.

He's running against his own economy. Fun. Gore, at least, was offering 4 more years of the same, but no Democrat can run on Obama's record. Should be a fun cycle, if we can manage to nominate a not completely idiotic candidate this time.

Maybe Joe will try to convince us Champ didn't always follow his advice.
So whose advice *did* he follow, Joe?

Procopius2k, It could be the Democrats always bash their own in those situations because the Democrat in power leaves a mess and everyone knows it even if they still love them.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
