Joe Biden: " If I Hear One More GOP Budget Gripe, 'I Am Going To Strangle Them'
Biden: If I hear one more GOP budget gripe, 'I am going to strangle them'
Vice President Biden jokingly expressed his frustration toward Republicans on Tuesday, accusing them of having insincere concerns about the budget deficit.
Biden jokingly said that GOP protests about the need for a balanced budget made him want to strangle them, which the vice president quickly clarified was a figure of speech.
“If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them,” Biden said at a fundraiser in Minnesota, according to a pool report. “To the press, that’s a figure of speech.”
President Obama and other members of the administration have ridiculed Republicans as trying to have it both ways on budget issues. For all the GOP's complaints about the ballooning deficit over the past 20 months, Democrats charge, their plan to extend all tax cuts for top earners would add hundreds of billions to the debt.
“These guys have absolutely no credibility, no credibility on debt,” Biden said.
But Republicans argue that the administration has been reckless in its handling of the economy, pointing foremost to the administration's $787 billion stimulus plan, which Republicans assert has not created jobs at a massive cost to taxpayers.

Wild Thing's comment.......
Biden, standing on the deck of the sinking Titanic, was heard to say: “If one more person tries to give me a life jacket I’ll strangle him!”
Sigh and alas, a normal day in the dysfunctional life of Plugs Joe Biden,.
Joe Biden—the gaffe that just keeps on giving. Can you imagine if Cheney had said something like this?
This bunch of jerks is as low-class as it gets. Donald Trump was on Cavuto and said the US is not respected in the world anymore.

Biden cannot make the case that Republicans don't mean what they say since Republican controlled congresses have been responsible for 80% of the balanced budgets during the last 50 years. They are responsible for 100% of the balanced budgets during Biden's whole career. He just hates balanced budgets.

Biden, the tough guy? He is one of the many Washington insiders(Dem and Repub) who took multiple deferrments during Vietnam. I am sure obama considers Biden to be just a harmless, useful jerk.

Biden is the classic example of a small town politician operating at the National level. The Congress and Senate are full of them.
They all live in their tiny little insulated world, where they are immune to the results of the actions that they take and the statements that they make.
The press and the people of the United States much prefer a Buffoon like Biden occupying the spot, than a man who understands the ramifictions and intricacies of Government. You know, like Dick Cheney.
What a wonderful testimonial to the thinking of the press and the populace.
