Biden....'it's just too hard to explain.'

If there is a single phrase that best sums up Joe Biden? It has got to be "God love him!" Not singly because it is one of his own personal favorites, but more so because there is no better summation of the man or his career of work as a politician.


Here we are, three weeks out from the midterms and the democrats know that they are in a losing cause. So aside from the president and David Axelrod attacking the American Chamber of Commerce and trying to accuse the GOP of precisely what the democrats did to get Obama elected, they are sending good old Joe out to stump and try to make chicken salad out of chicken manure.

And it ain't working. 

Biden, Obama's Traveling Salesman, Makes Hard Sell to Voters

He’s flown 330,000 miles since taking office, the equivalent of circling the globe 13 times, much of it campaigning for Democrats and telling anxious voters that the $814 billion stimulus measure is working. Vice President Joe Biden knows it’s a hard sell.
“Less bad is never good enough,” Biden said in an interview on board Air Force Two on Oct. 8, the same day that Labor Department figures showed the jobless rate held steady at 9.6 percent in September, the last yardstick before voters in the Nov. 2 elections determine which party controls Congress.
“Voters want to be told the truth,” Biden said on the way to Madison, Wisconsin, jacketless, kneeling against the back of an airplane seat and holding gold-trimmed aviator sunglasses. “They want to know, ‘Tell me, man, do I have a shot?’” he said, his enthusiasm undeterred by a cold.
With unemployment topping 9.5 percent for 14 straight months, Biden is having difficulty trumpeting the 3.3 million jobs created or saved by the White House’s economic stimulus.
“It’s just really hard to convince people that when there weren’t, up until the first of the year, when there weren’t net new jobs it’s awful hard to say, ‘It’s working,’” he said at the end of a three-state campaign swing Oct. 7-8 for four Democratic candidates in Wisconsin, Missouri, and Washington. “It’s counterintuitive.”

Even poor old Joe knows that making this sale? Is right up there with selling bear turds to Eskimos. It just ain't gonna happen.

What was it Joe called it? Oh yes....counterintuitive. Yep, that would be what it is alright. Another way of saying it would be to say that the American people now recognize a bald face lie when they see one. So they aren't buying and Joe knows it.
