Vice President Joe Biden called the U.S. economic figures for March “disappointing” on Friday but said America “remains better positioned than any country in the world to be the leading economy” of the 21st century.

“The economy has now added private sector jobs every month, disappointing this month, but they nonetheless added jobs,” said Biden at the Export-Import Bank conference in Washington.

“Even so we’ve still found that at the time there’s a need for an ambitious affirmative agenda. We strengthened and signed three free trade agreements.”

Biden said he’s not optimistic out of “naivety” but because he knows the history of America.

“I know I’m referred to in the White House as the White House optimist. I read that all of the time like I’m the new guy. As my grandfather would say, ‘like I just fell off the turnip truck yesterday,’” Biden said.

“In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been there longer than any of them and I hope you all haven’t noticed.”

The private sector added 95,000 jobs and payrolls rose by 88,000 workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In response to the jobs numbers, the White House said the economy is “continuing to recover” from the financial crisis.


It's Been Their Plan All Along

He has either fallen off a turnip truck a few times or his mammy dropped on his head when he was a baby. The two brain surgeries have not helped his screwball ideas either.

Probably both, and some other TBI-producing events as well.

Evangelizing democracy was what turned a quick break-shit-and-move-on war in Iraq into a bottomless cluster****, and intervening 'For human rights and the cheeeeeeeeeldrun' on behalf of one group of murderous thugs over another one is what created another one in Libya, and may yet create an even bigger one than both combined in Syria.  Biden, McCain, and the rest of the Old Guard who actually believe this bullshit works short of destroying the target country down to the Bronze Age and then putting the pieces back together the way you want them over 40 years can go to Hell.
