Ok, now before any liberal comes across this blog and tells me that Biden was only saying what is ‘logical’ and ‘what everybody was afraid to say,’ that may be the case however, that’s all well and good until you realize that in the same evening the guy who appointed this person as their running-mate was kind enough to inform the American public that swine flu is “not a cause for alarm.” Regardless of whether or not Biden’s comments have any basis in fact is pretty much a moot point; the executive branch of government can’t seem to get it’s story straight on whether or not I should be losing sleep over swine flu.
Yes… it’s a gaffe.
Now I will admit, I am not Biden’s number 1 cheerleader, in fact, when speaking to people
during the last election, I cited Biden and his policies as one of the number one reasons I did not support the Obama camp for the job. My number one problem with this is that everything that a majority of Obama supporters were complaining about during the 8 year Bush presidency is already occurring with regular frequency from Obama / Biden. Fear-based politics is not dead, and the Hope and Chance promised by these two to rid Washington and our political system of this stigma is proving to me nothing more than a bunch of lip-service a pile of crap.
100 Days in and all I’ve heard about is the woes of global economic ruin, war, disease, and famine. Apparently the tripartite American system of government has been suddenly replaced by the Four Horsemen of the Apocoylypse. The same tactics everybody complained dragged America into a war with Iraq and Afghanistan in 2001 and 2002 is being applied to American social, medical, and fiscal policy. I don’t see why it’s any easier to digest these things when they affect us directly at home, and it’s the absolute most tyrannical behavior since the third reich when it invovles military operations in a foreign country.
Regardless of what the outcome of any of this is, I certainly hope that the President and his Vice President are able to communicate effectively from here on out; if these two can’t come to an agreement on whether or not we are in danger from a sudden outbreak of swine flu, I don’t know how a $1.8 trillion deficit, which Obama’s proposed tax policies would not help at all, is going to be corrected any time soon.
