Only 30%? Where did he get that number? His ass?

I say the odds are about 99.995% The closest thing to a sure thing

Walter:
Biden is what your co-workers would call an optimist.

It turns out, Biden wasn't just an honest mistake of a pick by Obama for his administration. It was merely the first of MANY bad picks...

Personally, I am thrilled that Biden is the veep. I just hope he isn't muzzled...

30%? well...at least he's optimistic.

You go Joe.

re: #2 Sharmuta

Only 30%? Where did he get that number? His ass?

That is a good question. He does seem to have a propensity to make up figures on the fly to make his arguments sound good.

Somehow I doubt there is some study that would support his 30% claim.

I think I will just call him "Thirty-Percenter" from now on.

They've already screwed up, who is Biden kidding?

Hope -n- Change!

Ummm, Joe...With the passing of the Trojan Horse bill, we don't stand a snowballs chance in Hell of avoiding a very severe and now, more lengthy recession, possible depression and hyper inflation...Zero.

I think this question is a good one. I was always wondering, is Obama a fool or a knave? Biden seems like such a foolish choice. He couldn't possibly run in 2016. Did the Narcissist-in-Chief want a compliant dullard? Is Biden a seat-warmer for someone else the N-i-C has in mind to run with him in 2012? As far as I can tell, the NiC doesn't plan more than a step or two ahead. This remains a mystery to me.

Judith Warner's book, "Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety" (excerpt, NPR interview), a New York Times best-seller, was published in February 2005. "Domestic Disturbances" appears every Friday.

My wife and I were at Borders last evening.
One of the books they are hawking at the entrance now is "How to be a good grandparent". The "How to be a good parent" was also there.

On the way out, I asked my wife "If you don't know how to be a decent parent, what the hell good is reading a book going to do?"

I wouldn't take that bet because I know they will screw up. This bill is a porkfest that doesn't do anything but stimulate government growth at the expense of the private sector. It isn't stimulus, but a porkfest that only a leftist could love.

In fact, only Democrats really appear enamored with this crapulence. They talk about bipartisanship, even though the GOP uniformly opposed the House version - no GOPers voted for that monstrosity, and the only bipartisanship asked or demanded is that the GOP get out of the way and let this bill come to a floor vote in the Senate. GOPers have no reason to support this bill as it is woefully fiscally irresponsible and will saddle future generations of Americans with debt that they can ill afford.

Obama and the Democrats are now playing the fear card that this crapulence be passed immediately, even though I doubt any have read the full version of this bill. Heck, none can actually tell you what the final price tag will be, except that it will be huge. And they're the ones voting on this.

Jimmy Dean would touch this porkfest because it's offal.

The same place the Dems came up with all the crap that's actually in the bill: They just make the shit up.

When I was looking at the Stimulus Watch website, I noticed a highway interchange project in Albuquerque that's on the list. According to them, it's going to create 14,000 jobs.

Unless they plan to construct this interchange using the same technology the Egyptians used to build the pyramids, that number doesn't seem even remotely possible. My guess is that someone pulled a Biden and just made some shit up that sounded impressive.

Unfortunately, that's what they've done with the entire thing.

Um, just a minor point, Charles: If the proposition is "we'll screw up" and the odds are 30 percent in favor, then it should read "odds are 30-70 that we'll screw up". Not 70-30.

Don't exaggerate.

Think of it this way, projects that used to take 1,000 people to work on now take 100 because of technology. It's called progress. Yet, the left wants to revisit a bygone era and will destroy the economy in the process.

Indeed- but I do think I'm on to something. Biden's already had health issues, and it's quite true he couldn't win the presidency in 2016 should 0bama win in 2012.

142,099,000 employed Jan. '09

Bottom 50% of pay 3% of the total tax load. They won't have to pay in on the stimulus they'll get paid.

With tax rebates, EIC and other paybacks lets say only the top 25% are going to shoulder the burden of the stimulus package.

25% of 142,000 is 35,500,000 working on paying it off.

$750,000,0000,000
÷ $35,500,000
---
$211,267.61

So based on campaign promises of who will pay and who get's paid. If you earn more than $65,000 a year.

You just bought a nice house.

re: #119 lawhawk

Correctumundo. The number of jobs they talk about creating will fall far short of their expectations, but that's also the point. It will just mean that they didn't spend enough, and will demand yet more pork to throw around so that they continue these programs ad infinitum.

Think of it this way, projects that used to take 1,000 people to work on now take 100 because of technology. It's called progress. Yet, the left wants to revisit a bygone era and will destroy the economy in the process.

I've always thought the Dems were schizohrenic on this subject, anyway.

One thing should my prediction come to pass- 0bama would nominate a replacement VP that would have to be approved by the Senate. If he wanted to replace Biden with a virtual unknown, it might be better to do so while the Senate is still in their control, because 2012 could see a shift in the makeup of both bodies in Congress.

Artist of famed Obama poster arrested in Boston

A street artist famous for his red, white and blue "Hope" posters of President Obama has been arrested in Boston on two outstanding warrants.

Shepard Fairey was in Boston on Friday night for an event kicking off his exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art.

Police said they had warrants on Fairey from last month after he allegedly tagged property in Boston with graffitti based on his Andre the Giant street art campaign.

re: #98 jwb7605

On Fox now (just turned TV on)
Jeff Immelt named as economic advisory panel member.

Biden needs to raise his estimate to at least 31%.

Assuming Immelt does as good a job in that position as he has as GE's CEO, I'd say the odds just flipped to 70-30.

Under his brilliant leadership, GE's stock is currently at a 14 year low. He's taken one of the most profitable corporations in the world and run it into the ground.

Biden being around for 4 years is a humongous silver lining to an otherwise bad situation. How many Gaffes will the Gaffer Gaffe?

An Opening to Iran?
They've sold us this rug before
by Michael Rubin
Weekly Standard
February 16, 2009

[Link: www.meforum.org...]

During the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama promised to meet the leaders of Iran "without preconditions." He appears a man of his word. Within days of his election, the State Department began drafting a letter to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad intended to pave the way for face-to-face talks. Then, less than a week after taking office, Obama told al-Arabiya's satellite network, "If countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us." The president dispatched former Defense Secretary William Perry to engage a high-level Iranian delegation led by a senior Ahmadinejad adviser.

The pundits and journalists may applaud, but their adulation for Obama's new approach is based more on myth than reality. "Not since before the 1979 Iranian revolution are U.S. officials believed to have conducted wide-ranging direct diplomacy with Iranian officials," the Associated Press reported. But Washington and Tehran have never stopped talking; indeed, many of Obama's supposedly bold initiatives have been tried before, often with disastrous results.

Wow. Is this Obama doing his favorite political maneuver - taking out his opponent again?
From your link:

"The U.S. attorney's office inadvertently sent the confidential document, a defense sentencing memorandum filed under seal, to The Washington Post after the newspaper requested the prosecution's sentencing memorandum." Inadvertently sent what was supposed to be a sealed document to the Post? Yeah, sure, and the Post will sell you the Brooklyn Bridge real cheap, too.

Inadvertently sent what was supposed to be a sealed document to the Post?

WTF?
