Let’s face it; people don’t hold Vice Presidents in the highest regard, excluding LBJ and a few others of course. Al Gore, though a very smart guy kind of lost people when he said he invented the internet. Dick Cheney just scared the bejesus out of everybody by being some kind of evil drone who could have countless heart attacks and still live. And let’s be honest; it’s not the hardest job in the world. The president has like a thousand people advising him so it’s not like the VP is a valued counselor. He takes some trips, kisses some babies, and tries to make the President look good. If there is one man who has taken the VP job to new lows, it’s Joe Biden and I mean that in the most respectful way possible because I love the guy due to his crazy, regular guy antics and lack of a filter. But he constantly says inappropriate things, screws up words, and basically just sits back and chills. We had to go through several of his speaking blunders to find the top 10 and here they are.
“You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent…. I’m not joking.”
“I promise you, the president has a big stick. I promise you.”
“My mother believed and my father believed that if I wanted to be president of the United States, I could be, I could be Vice President!”
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
“His mom lived in Long Island for ten years or so. God rest her soul. And- although, she’s- wait- your mom’s still- your mom’s still alive. Your dad passed. God bless her soul.”
“You know, I’m embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number? I should have it in front of me and I don’t. I’m actually embarrassed.”
“If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30% chance we’re going to get it wrong.”
“Look, John’s last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs.”
“Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me.”
“A man I’m proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!”
