Vice President Joe Biden has joined the pantheon of great thinkers who first uttered such brilliant statements as "Water is wet" and "Fire is hot." Appearing on CBS's The Early Show this morning, Mr. Biden declared that, "Washington right now is broken" and the country is in "deep trouble" unless it attacks ballooning federal deficits. (source) I guess given enough time, even a gaffe-prone, plagiarizing embarrassment like the vice president can get one right.

But the truly amazing part of his admission is that he can make such statements without any hint of acknowledging the Obama administration's leading role in breaking that government and causing the economical deep trouble by pushing a far-left and obscenely expensive agenda in their attempt to remake America.

The Remaker-In-Chief also made some public comments this morning declared the one-year-old $787 billion stimulus bill (euphemistically called the Recovery Act) was a solid accomplishment. President Obama made the usual fuzzy-math claim that stimulus spending has created or saved 2 million jobs and that "One year later, it is largely thanks to the Recovery Act that a second depression is no longer a possibility."

His self-aggrandizing fortune telling was only surpassed by his churlish recounting of the moment in his recent State of the Union address during which he talked of the tax cuts in the stimulus plan and Republican lawmakers fail to applaud him, "They were all kind of squirming in their seats...It was interesting to watch," Mr. Obama said. Those who opposed (then and now) unaffordable and ineffective legislation that the majority of the American people also oppose didn't leap to their feet to cheer it and him. That is what he took from that moment. That is what he found "interesting to watch".

Some how, some way, someone must get through to this man that after just one year of his incompetent leadership, our government is broken and is in deep trouble. His own second in command said the right words this morning, but of course Vice President Biden stopped short of admitting where the fault lies. Meanwhile President Obama continues taking credit for imaginary victories, treating those who dare point out his failures (or simply refuse to applaud him for them) with contempt and trying to con the American people into believing his delusional version of reality.
