Me, Muzzled? Biden Says He Barely Reads His Teleprompter

GAINESVILLE, FL - Joe Biden may be getting a little tired of stories claiming that the campaign is trying to shut him up.
Washington reporters traveling with the loquacious long-time senator over the past few days noted the tight stump speeches, the lack of reporter access or question from the crowd, and the ubiquitous teleprompter - theorizing that Obama’s staff is trying desperately to minimize the damage that comes from Biden’s big mouth.
But in Florida today, Biden interrupted his speech to prove he’s the same old loose cannon he’s always been.
“I believe the possibilities for this country are absolutely amazing — and stop moving the prompter,” he said, abruptly addressing the teleprompter operator, who’d never before worked with Biden and, as one staffer joked, may have dislocated her wrist trying to keep up.
“There’s a prompter that I hardly ever read here. They don’t want you to know that. They put it up to make me sound disciplined, you know,” Biden continued as the crowd — and a few Biden staffers — laughed along with him.
The bravado isn’t backed up by the fact that Biden stuck almost entirely to the same speech he’s been giving for the last 3 days — but there were moments that proved his point.
An example: coming on stage after his introduction, Biden rambled his way through the traditional thank-you’s for local elected officials in remarks that bear reprinting in their entirety.
“I tell you what, I’m a proud University of Delaware alum, we, we won the national championship in our division a couple years ago. But I tell you what. I watched you all Saturday (applause), and I thought thank God, thank God we don’t play the Gators. A Delaware flag, alright man! You guys are on a roll. Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! And I want to tell you. I used the rain as an excuse to wear the hat, but the balder I get the more I love hats. I always loved hats.”

The world has witnessed the work of the Narco-Petro dollars in Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, and Bolivia. In the US large amounts of money from “UN-NAMED” source such as Hugo Chavez’s Multimillion dollars packaged luggages have been channeled to the leftist candidacy of Obama and the Obama/Harry Read/Nancy Pelosi socialist agenda for America.
Now the left can buy the pollsters, The NY Times, and the MicroSoft / NBC’s of the world to propagate their hate, the portrayal of terrorist lovers as heroes, and in-morals and people haters as nice guys. But, the people that believe in working hard for what you want and a free non-socialist America will stay the course and vote for McCain.
While Obama tells the middle class that he will “re-distribute the wealth” why doesn’t he begin by giving the billion dollars he got in his campaign bank to the people in need and to his own family living in extreme poverty in Kenya? And her Aunt leaving in Government funded housing in the US.
Of course, his priority is to use that money to buy the conscience of the New York Times and MicroSoft / NBC.
As far as the help for the people in need, he will get that money from the middle class and the small business by raising their taxes.
Obama and Joe, the cheat, have now lowered the amount of the people that will pay for his socialist programs, now they are targeting the people that make $150,000 and more.
If people had any sense they would realize Obama can not use his campain money for anything other than his campain. TO DO OTHERWISE WOULD BE ILLEGAL. Get a brain folks.
Biden the Plagerist needs to be muzzled if Obama knows what is best for him. Taxes are off for wha Obama is lying about, he does not even know the Constitution but wants to correct another, he thinks the TV was around in the 20’s, Obama is going to be tested? Really? Make me want to run out and vote for him….make me feel real safe knowing that he has ZERO experience with foreign affairs and the military on top of Biden’s warning……WOW!!!!
kmday,
You can’t even spell p-l-a-g-i-a-r-i-s-t, much less know what you are talking about!!!!!
Biden - the gift that keeps on giving!
Biden makes a better candidate for President than Obama. On a scale of 1 to 10…Obama ranks about a two and Biden maybe a four. Minimum qualification for President at least an eight…
Yeah …. sure Joe…. say what you will. Just 3 months and everyone is already sick of you. What is REALLY scary is if Joe Biden became president. I dont even know how he got this far … the man is a walking disaster.
I hope McCain wins but if something happens and Obama wins the election, I fear for him. He has made so many ridiculous promises, I dont know whats going to happen to him when the people find out hes nothing but an inflated mouthpiece for the very leftist liberal party, and thats not restricted to this country alone. I,for one, believe the things I have read about him. Hes had his hands in too many questionable places to be entirely innocent. Im so sick of his lies and excuses. Anyone who has a peanut brain can put together that Fharakhan, Ayers, Wright, Phleoger, etc. are connected. Im sure they all just “live in the neighborhood”. I think if the american public votes him to office, they will get what they deserve for being so naive.
Biden says he barely reads his teleprompter:
Ha ha! And don’t we know it? That’s the freaking point Joe. Lordy!

I’m sorry, but huh? He’s already violating campaign finance laws by accepting untraceable credit card contributions. His campaing has purposely shut down standard software procedures that reject credit card donations when there is a name/address mismatch, thus knowingly opening the door to fraudulent and possibly foreign contributions.
And you tell us we are supposed to trust that he will handle the balance of funds raised properly? You get a brain - and try wiping the Kool Aid from your eyes so that you can see what’s right under your nose.
Has Joe figured out the math yet…..
Joe,
Please Circle One AND ONLY ONE
A. Obama Tax Plan No Tax Line = 250K
B. Obama Tax Plan No Tax Line = 200K
C. Obama Tax Plan No Tax Line = 150K (Your Quote!)
D. Obama Tax Plan No Tax Line = 120K
E. Check Back With Us in January!
I never thought McCain would get so sleazy and lie so much… just like Bush. I am done with the Republican Party. I’ll vote Libertarian and wish Obama good luck. McCain sold out and he deserves to get his ass kicked!!
He’s an embarassment
700 Billion for wall street is a “Bail Out”
A few dollars tax cut for 90% of the population, when the biggest welfare mothers in America are large corporations, is Socialism.
No wonder with thiking like this Republicans are incapable of running a country, never mind a hick Alaskan village.
Yes - god forbid that the VP is someone that can make a comment that wasnt written by someone else - we all really want the Palin robot in the whitehouse after all.
God help us if Obama wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chavez for Obama.????????????????????????????????????????????????
WE ARE IN GREAT DANGER TODAY FOR WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4TH, 2008.
WE HAVE AN ANTI AMERICAN BORN IN KENYA RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
WE AS AMERICANS CAN NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.
EITHER B.H. OBAMA OR HIS RUNNING MATE JOE BIDEN ARE WILLING TO GIVE AWAY OUR COUNTRY AND HONOR THOSE COUNTRIES THAT HAVE FOUGHT AGAINST US FOR YEARS
AND NO DOUBT ALWAYS WILL.
THESE COUNTRIES ARE AGAINST US FOR WHAT WE AMERICANS ARE AND WHAT WE STAND FOR.
WE CAN NOT ALLOW THIS TEAM BE ELECTED TO OUR NATIONS LEADING OFFICES.
VOTE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE “THE MOST HONORABLE” JOHN McCAIN AND SARAH PALIN.
A TEAM WITH EXPERIENCE AND LEADERSHIP FOR A SECURE AMERICA
IT IS YOUR CHOICE NOW,,,, PLEASE MAKE THE CORRECT ONE ON TUESDAY
I wear hats, I love hats. What an idiot. This guy wants to be the VP of the most powerful country in the world.
Many critics have wondered in dismay as to the fate of our nation if something should happen to McCain, as president, and Gov. Palin had to assume the Pres. office. That would NOT be a great concern! She would rise to the occasion. It is much, much MORE disconcerting to think that Obama could win! And even WORSE, if Biden ever became the successor to Obama!!
Obama tells us that there are people millions of people that cannot afford to pay/buy mortgages, health insurance, college tuition, automobiles, food, clothing. gasoline,etc…
How has he been able to raise record millions for his campaign if the people that support him are so poor? Illegal contributions?
He should know better!! 90% of the people that support him are not in that much need!! When he offers so much free stuff from the goverment people will extend a hand to get theirs!! Obama calls this an “investment” by “asking” the financially successful people for a tax increase. Is not an investment is call “welfare”. And he is not asking anyone, he is going to take away!!
Incredible. Populist approach ala Hugo Chavez from Venezuela.
Once you start depending on government to provide for your basic needs he will also provide you with more George Bush’s shovels to continue digging your way into a “nationalize” welfare brought to you by “your own payment of federal taxes”.
Yeah Joe, we know. Its very obvious you don’t read your teleprompter. No one would write as many stupid ill-informed comments into their speeches on purpose.
Biden is a good man. Biden loves his country, and want’s what is best for his country.
Biden, just as Hillary and Bill, are giving us all hints not to trust Obama! Some of us are listening,
but will it be enough to keep the Jr senator with no resume other than all his questionable teachers, and spiritual advisors? A jr senator that we are not allowed to ask his past friends or
relatives any questions untill after the election? A jr senator that will not allow us to see his college, govornment, or real health records? This Jr Senator is too risky to let run our great country!!
This is funny stuff. Just say “NO” to O and Joe.
