Vice President Biden at Gridiron, on Easter and the President (whispering): ‘He thinks it’s about him’

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN KILLS AT GRIDIRON:
“Axelrod really wanted me to do this on teleprompter — but I told him I’m much better when I wing it. … I know these evenings run long, so I’m going to be brief. Talk about the audacity of hope. …
President Obama does send his greetings, though. He can’t be here tonight — because he’s busy getting ready for Easter. (Whisper) He thinks it’s about him. …
“I know that no president has missed his first Gridiron since Grover Cleveland. Of course, President Cleveland really did have better things to do on a Saturday night. When he was in the White House — he was married to a 21 year old woman. … I understand these are dark days for the newspaper business, but I hate it when people say that newspapers are obsolete. That’s totally untrue. I know from firsthand experience. I recently got a puppy, and you can’t housebreak a puppy on the Internet.
“Now let’s see: we have a Republican speaker who was born in Austria, and tonight’s Democratic speaker was born in Canada. Folks, this is Lou Dobbs’ worst nightmare. … We are now two months into the Obama-Biden administration and the President and I have become extremely close. To give you an idea of how close we are, he told me that next year — maybe, just maybe — he’s going to give me his blackberry email address. …
But the Obama Administration really is a good team. I am the experienced veteran. Rahm can be an enforcer. And Tim Geithner is always there when you need to borrow money. And no questions asked.
“You know, I never realized just how much power Dick Cheney had until my first day on the job. I walked into my office, and you know how the outgoing president always leaves the incoming president a note in his desk? I opened my drawer and Dick Cheney had left me Barack Obama’s birth certificate. …
I now realize that we have to be extra careful when we annunciate new policy ideas to make sure they don’t look like they’re personally motivated. For example, the other day there were a whole bunch of stories about the President’s hair going gray; the next day there’s a story about a Vice President who’s trying to grow new hair, and then the day after that, the two of us come out in favor of stem cell research. That looked bad.
“I’d like to address some of the things I said: Like when I said that ‘JOBS’ is a three-letter word. I did say that. But I didn’t mean it literally. It’s like how, right now, most people think AIG is a four-letter word. … Or when I announced our stimulus package website, I was asked how you get to it: All I said was I didn’t know the website number. What I really meant to say was, ‘Ted Stevens didn’t tell me what tube the website is in.’”

Biden Pokes Fun at His Boss During Gridiron
Obama, the first president in decades not to attend the Gridiron Club dinner during his first year in office, couldn’t make it because he’s busy preparing for Easter, Biden said. “He thinks it’s about him,” Biden said of the holiday.
Biden said Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, in attendance for much of the event, is “always there when you need money, no questions asked.”
The humor also addressed Democrats’ challenges in governing during tough times. In a sendup of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., someone impersonating the top Democrat in the House sang “Imperial Girl” to the tune of Madonna’s “Material Girl.”
Wild Thing’s comment………..
Obama is entirely too thin-skinned to joke about himself, which is what the Gridiron dinner is all about .. his one attempt at laughing at himself on the Leno show backfired. Obama’s ego won’t allow for him to sit there and be mocked, even if it is by friends.
Pretty funny, Joe. You’re working for a Kenyan-born, illegal alien without a Selective Service number. Pretty funny, huh?
Here is an UPDATE regarding the Birth Ceetificate:
Taitz to FBI: Investigate ‘tampering’ at Supremes
wnd
Orly Taitz, a California attorney battling on a number of fronts to obtain documentation of Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president is asking the FBI and U.S. Secret Service to investigate suspected “tampering” at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Orly Taitz, who is pursuing nearly half a dozen causes through her Defend Our Freedoms Foundation, says the issue of Obama’s eligibility to meet the Constitution’s demand for a “natural born” president has been before the Supreme Court at least four times.
But she wonders whether the justices actually were given the pleadings to review.
“I believe … that there was tampering with documents and records by employees of the Supreme Court and the justices never saw those briefs,” she alleges in a letter to the FBI’s Robert Mueller, the Secret Service’s Mark Sullivan and Attorney General Eric Holder.
“Three hundred five million American citizens … need to know whether a foreign national is usurping the position of the president and the commander in chief,” she wrote.
Taitz raises questions about “forgery of court records, tampering with court records, cyber crime, erasing of court records from the docket, fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud and other related crimes.”
Specifically, she points to the handling of her own case, Lightfoot v. Bowen, which was submitted to the Supreme Court on an emergency basis. Although it was scheduled for a conference, no hearing ever was held

This has got to come out. Whether by accident, joke or a mis-statement by the press, we all know that they know. Now it is a matter of time before enough people get tired of losing their Liberties, that will get it done.
I never watched J Leno even when Hussein was on but might make an exception if Biden were to appear.

I wouldn’t watch Jay Leno if he was the last comedian standing…..which he won’t be because the Dems keep bringing them out of the woodwork!!!!
I hope this fine lady can stay the course and finally put to rest the question of his legality to be president. I’m quite certain that he isn’t but we have to convince a whole lot more blind Americans to that.
If she was pursuing this during the Clinton administration, she would have already committed “Suicide” by some strange manner. Clintons would not have allowed this to happen.
For Biden to even bring that subject out means they are all thinking about it. Maybe Biden is greasing the skids for his own ascension.
Paranoia is when you are in the stands and the players are in a huddle at mid field and you think they are talking about you.
