Biden: "Osama Bin Laden Is Dead And General Motors Is Alive""

biden osama bin laden is dead and general motors is alive

Vice-President Joe Biden has been talking about the auto bailout frequently as the campaign for his re-election heats up in the coming months. A speech to NYU had him tout the record of the Obama administration, while also criticizing Gov. Mitt Romney’s famous “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” op-ed.

“If you’re looking for a bumper sticker to sum up how President Obama has handled what we inherited, it’s pretty simple: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive,” Biden said Thursday at New York University. “Gov. Romney is counting on our collective amnesia. But Americans know that we cannot afford to go back to the future.”

Is this a new bumper sticker slogan, or what? In the interest of not bringing on accusations that TTAC is an anti-GM, anti-democrat, anti-Volt yellow rag, we’ll leave it to the B&B to make what they will of the article.

Jesus, guys, just admit it. The only reason you hate Obama is because he's black.

  Nah, it's probably just one of the reasons... If an actual accomplishment of this administration being held up for all to see is somehow 'excess celebration' and 'hubris', well the collective memory seems to be dimmed for Bush's back-seat landing on a carrier and subsequent speech in front of a "Mission Accomplished" banner in 2003. For a war that ended last year. Edit: If I were standing in front of St. Peter, I'd rather be Joe Biden than Dick Cheney.

  @shaker Whining about (alleged) racism...usually the last resort, when all other arguments have failed to gain traction. Please find some other way to bore me. One could just as easily argue that people who aren't voting for Romney are doing so because he's white. As I said, you need to find some other way to bore me. As for the St. Peter example - based on your logic, he must prefer career politicians who have a nasty but amusing habit of inserting foot into mouth. I guess competence isn't a requirement for entry beyond the Pearly Gates. Only the hopelessly partisan, or blessedly stupid, believe that one of these things is "better" than the other. Generally, it's not a good idea to fall into either category.

Other than the fact that the words "GM is alive," how is this relevant on a car website? Come on, TTAC...this is click trolling...Nobody here is going to change (there's that word again) their views by somebody's post...When the politics relate to what/how/where you drive, ok, it's fair and relevant. But this???
