Default Biden Alert!

Speaking about the Obama administration's foreign policy at New York University, Vice President delivered a snicker-worthy line when he said, "I promise you, the president has a big stick." The former Delaware senator is known for flubs of the tongue. He also got some laughs when he described Obama's decisiveness, telling the audience, "This guy's got a backbone like a ramrod. For real. For real..

Yeah, that "big stick" comment was hilarious, it went right over Biden's head when it happened.

Biden has a good point, though: it's just weird and out-of-touch and bizzaro the way Romney and his foreign policy advisers keep referencing "The Soviet Union" communist threat and "Czechoslovakia" (both countries gone for some time, now, Mittens, step into the 21st century .... )

LOL - here's the transcript, and the video is available on the link.

Quote:
Speaking to an audience at New York University, Biden recalled that Obama had “made one of the most courageous decisions” he had ever seen a president make by ordering the strike on Osama bin Laden.

“This guy has a got a backbone like a ramrod,” the vice president said. “For real. For real. On this gut issue, we know what President Obama did. We can’t say for certain what Governor Romney would have done.”

“Thanks to President Obama, bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive,” Biden continued. “You have to ask yourself had Governor Romney been president, could he have used the same slogan in reverse?”

Biden went on to call on the former Massachusetts governor to “tell the American people” if he wants to launch a war with Iran.

“Folks, loose talk about a war has incredible negative consequences in our efforts to end Iran’s nuclear quest,” he warned. “This kind of Romney talk is just not smart.”

“Now is the time to heed the timeless advice from Teddy Roosevelt: ‘Speak softly and carry a big stick.’”

“I promise you, the president has a big stick,” Biden added as the audience snickered. “I promise you.”

Watch the video below from CNN, broadcast April 26, 2012.
