President Obama Defends Joe Biden On ‘Chains’ Remark
Posted by Media Outrage on August 16th, 2012
Joe Biden knows how to f!ck up somebody’s campaign! He made a remark a few days ago that many tried to attribute to him being downright racially insensitive to the plight of African Americans.
Peep Game and how President Obama defended ol’ Joe Biden who would have made a great running mate for George Dubya
President Barack Obama, breaking his public silence Wednesday on Vice President Joe Biden’s claim that a Mitt Romney victory will“put y’all back in chains,” dismissed the controversy over the comment and expressed full confidence in Biden.
In interviews with People magazine and “Entertainment Tonight,” Obama sought to put Biden’s remark, which drew angry denunciations from Republicans, in context and said voters aren’t focused on the stir it created.
“Most folks know that’s just sort of a WWF wrestling part of politics,” Obama told “Entertainment Tonight.” “It doesn’t mean anything, just fills up a lot of airtime.”
When asked by People magazine whether he would talk to Biden in the aftermath of that remark, the president offered the verbal equivalent of a shrug.
“Joe Biden has been an outstanding vice president. He is passionate about what’s happening in middle-class families,” he said. “So I will be talking to him a whole lot about the campaign generally.”
Biden meant that “you, consumers, the American people, will be a lot worse off if we repeal these [Wall Street reform] laws as the other side is suggesting,” Obama told People. “In no sense was he trying to connote something other than that.”
To “Entertainment Tonight,” he characterized Biden’s phrasing as a “distraction” from a substantive issue, adding that “we should focus on what Joe’s comments meant and what they’re intended to mean, and that is, we shouldn’t roll back Wall Street reforms that are making consumers and the economy a lot more secure.”
Biden’s comments came on Tuesday at a campaign stop in Danville, Va., where he told a group of supporters that Romney would “unchain Wall Street” by rolling back regulations.
“He said in the first hundred days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, unchain Wall Street,” Biden said during a speech at the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research. “They’re going to put y’all back in chains.”

Biden is a very outspoken SOB! It is not what he said so much, it is the pursuasion technique. This campaign is centered around back and forth cheap shots which is being focused on more then what the real concerns should be. The most important focus right now is on gathering voters to vote not on continuing the Bush tax cuts, fixing unemployment, affordable health care, and such and such. The most important issue of them all being such and such! lol.
Only chains they gon put me in is 2 Chaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnzzzz!

After Obama signed that Dream Act, which is a nightmare for Americans…I said f*ck him and his whole administration. And Biden is a loon anyway, like that crazy uncle who rocks back and forth in a rocking chair who speaks gibberish.
