Last night, Obama made a big deal out of his decision to put VP Joe Biden in charge of the stimulus spending. He said he was doing it because, "You don't mess with Joe."
Congress had a good old laugh over that, and I thought the entire room had suddenly gone insane. Placing Joe Biden in charge of $787 billion should be an impeachable offence.
The other day, Obama described the decision like this: "The fact that I'm asking my vice president to personally lead this effort shows how important it is for our country and future to get this right."
Obama's lost his mind.
Here's Biden talking this morning to a CBS news anchor. When she asks him what the website address of the recovery plan is (Obama made a point of it during his speech, and even I remember it: recovery.gov - you know, as in "Recovery Plan," get it?), Man In Charge of Stimulus Joe says, "You know, I'm embarrassed. [To staffer] Do you know the website number? [To host] I should have it in front of me, but I don't..."
The anchor tries to save him, saying she'll call his office later to find out. Joe stumbles on for a couple of seconds until finally coming up with what he calls the website number. When she asks him if it's up and running, he says, "It's up and running."
How the hell would he know?
