In Athens, Biden Cracks Joke About Bailing Out Greece

Joe Biden to the rescue.

VP Joe Biden joked about bailing out Greece while meeting with government officials today.
Reuters reported:

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden joked during a visit to debt-choked Athens on Monday about bringing money to help Greece out of its deepest financial crisis in decades.

Introducing a member of his delegation during a meeting with Greek President Karolos Papoulias, Biden said: “This man represents the Treasury department. He’s brought hundreds of millions of dollars.”

His comments drew laughs from both the Greek and U.S. delegations.

Euro zone ministers will meet on Friday for a summit billed key to finding a way out of a growing debt crisis and may turn to the International Monetary Fund for more aid.

   This why they wanted him for VP, so that the Zero would always appear more intelligent. He and the Zero have no respect for their office and should never be given any.

   Romney, as with Gingrich, are both supporters of economic bailouts via the US taxpayer. Regardless of who passed it, TARP or Porkulus, they are wrong. But who would have guessed that these two RINOs actually support conservative constitutional republic issues.

   Greece is on the verge of total collapse. HAHAHAHA! That’s a riot! Side splitting!

   When I was a kid, I tended toward being a Biden-like smart ass. And it usually cost me something as soon as my parents heard about it. Too bad Shecky Biden doesn’t have parents around to discipline him.

   The joke is on the American taxpayer,
   that’s what they’re laughing at.

   Just foot the bill for the nanny state and shut up.

   How do we know he didn’t have hundreds of millions with him? They showed up with hundreds of millions for Solyndra. This really isn’t funny. We are subsidizing this through FED action, and that’s a fact. Treasury department is not even a player.

    Using “Biden” and “joke” in the same sentence seems appropriate.

    When all is said and done historians will need look no further for documented idiocy and ineptness, which are the hallmark of this administration, than Biden’s dossier.

    If Obama is so smart why does he surround himself with mean-spirited, fact-challenged dolts like Biden, Holder et al? I suppose to his advisors and cabinet he may seem “brilliant”, but that is only after the bar has been dropped to the ground and buried under tons of dirt by the likes of JoeyB. What an embarrassment.

    Actually, FDR made a similar joke back in 1929 and it ended up being all over the TV news that night.

    Real funny Joe.

    Next time you go to Japan, tell them you brought a few million of Potassium Iodide tablets.

    I’m sure they will all get a kick out of that as well.

    Quayle spelled “potatoe” and was pilloried forever more as being an ignoramus. This guy steps in it again and again with flair and reckless abandon and…nothing. Not a g-d thing. Worse, the audience laps it up.

    I truly despise these people.
