Follow the Biden Logic Train

Here’s as best as I can piece together just what “Incoherent Joe” rambled on about Barack being tested early in office:

1) Barack will be test early in office as president
2) It will be a major crisis challenging his energies and resources
3) He may make decisions in the course of addressing it that will be tough for us
4) These decisions may even be unpopular with most Americans
5) But we are to continue to trust him despite that because it’s all in our best interest

My Question: Couldn’t we use the same logic on GWB? Take out Obama’s name and put in George W Bush. What do you see? Isn’t it the same pattern?

If so, doesn’t that make GWB a better president than rendered becaue he made tough, unpopular decisions that in the short term seemed crazy but may be in our best long-term interests (that we might not yet see)? Or does that make Barack Obama worse than a Jimmy Carter rerun?

The corrollary of that Biden logic train is that Obama is just a liberal version of GWB – an unmitigated disaster of a president who deserves to be impeached, then drawn & quartered, then shot, then tortured. Not that I am espousing any of those things done to either person physically, as the Huffington Post might encourage. We are a family-friendly post.

But do you see what I’m saying? Why is it OK to use that kind of logic on Barack (trusting without any accountability with the evidence to the contrary displayed in front of us) when it has been flamethrown at us that allowing GWB this kind of permission led to the “abuses and disasters” we continually read about? You cannot have it both ways, Joe.

That’s the whole point. GWB made some lousy decisions in office; the same kind of lousy decisions that Obama will make in his term in office. He will screw up, he will fail. The question is, do we have enough margin as a country for him to make those mistakes? Can we afford to endure those kinds of potentially colossal failures?

This is not a defense of GWB post. This is a defense of logic and reasoning post, something sorely lacking from Incoherent Joe’s rants ranging from testing Barack to FDR’s “TV interviews”. Maybe FDR got Marxist questions also, and that’s why he stuck to radio till the 1940′s. Then again, maybe not.

The Biden Logic Train is about as twisted as my daughter’s french braids she does for her hair.

    I like this train analogy myself:

      Ver FUNNY! Nice job.

      Barry = I agree, but as we will soon learn, that bullet train has no brakes.

      Biden = AMTRAK is perfect for Biden as it too is subsidized by the American taxpayer and has as many riders as Biden had voters.

      McCain = Old reliable

      Palin = Fun to play with.

      Ha! Nice photo…

      Did you think of that yourself?

    Russian, Farsi, Chinese … which language should we start learning?

    Americans can feel safe.

    When the first, second, third or fourth major crisis occurs due to Barry’s tissue thin resume and complete lack of experience, we can all sleep well knowing that the man, Joe Biden, who supported a nuclear freeze, voted against Operation Desert Storm, called for partitioning Iraq, and voted against the “surge” strategy will be down the hall ready to give General-Zod his best foreign policy advice.

    Now, don’t you feel better?

    Apparently, the Defense Business Board, advisers to Defense Secretary, agree with Biden. ‘Michael Bayer, chairman of the Defense Business Board and veteran Pentagon consultant, this week called for the next administration to move quickly to avoid encountering civilian leadership vacuums that often accompany political transitions.
    “Prepare for a likely first 270 days crisis,” Bayer warns in an Oct. 23 briefing. “Too many presidents were ill prepared for this.”’

    But we can’t use the same logic to apply to GWB, that would be fair.

      Oh, and nice picture by the way…

    I agree. It’s exactly the sort of logic the Left has been screaming against when it came out from the Bush administration. And while I’m conservative (or at least, I used to use that term before Bush distorted it almost beyond recognition), I do not think this is or was good logic or reasoning for the Bush administration to use and it isn’t any good for Obama either.

    Basically, this all goes to show the hypocrisy of the Left. They don’t hate that the president has that kind of power (as I do); they just hate that it hasn’t been their guy who has that power. And now that it’s about to be, they’re trying to pave the way.

    Does anyone else find this frightening!?!

      Couldn’t agree more!

    I’m sorry. I’m having a hard time getting past the use of “Biden” and “Logic” in the same sentance.
