Reality check for Vice President Joe Biden

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) - Giving the republican response to President Obama's speech Tuesday night, Governor Bobby Jindal pointed out fundamental differences in how republicans and democrats see the economy. "But what I don't understand from Governor Jindal is what would he do?," asks Joe Biden while on the Early Show.

    And That rhetorical question to Governor Jindal on the Early Show, was followed with this. "in Louisiana there's 400 people a day losing their jobs, what's he doing?" asks Biden.

    But that claim is wrong, if you look at the numbers from the Louisiana Workforce Commission. "In December, Louisiana was the only state in the nation besides the District of Columbia, according to the national press release that added employment over the month," says Patty Granier with the Louisiana Workforce Commission. According to her, not only is Louisiana not losing jobs. "The state gained 3,700 jobs for the seasonally adjusted employment," Granier said of the most recent figures.

"plugs" Biden has never let facts get in the way of "The Message" before.  Why would he start now?

I think it became obvious a while ago that Obama picked Biden for two reasons:

1) To have someone dumber than him next to him to make him look smarter

2) To have a blithering idiot a heartbeat away from the presidency so no one tries anything stupid

Biden is too dumb to get elected on his own; it's insurance that Barack doesn't get shown up by his veep after he gets voted/term-limited out of office.
