At least he didn't call them "clean and articulate" . . .

Joe Biden has given the latest, best example of the adage that "a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth."

Appearing on Good Morning America today to talk up Pres. Obama's health care speech to Congress, the veep praised his boss for debunking various supposedly false assertions, including "how we're going to insure illegal aliens."  Biden was just about to move on when, realizing his crime against political correctness, he revised his remark: "undocumented aliens," quoth the VP.

Later in his interview with Diane Sawyer, discussing Rep. Joe Wilson's "you lie!", Biden returned to the theme.  You could hear him pausing to make sure he didn't repeat his bout of unintentional honesty, carefully, this time, speaking of "undocumented aliens."

Will the MSM pick up on this latest example of why the White House must surely hold its breath every time it sends Joe out to carry the torch?

Still wrong, Joe!!

Wait a minute!!

He still didn't get it right!

They are "undocumented immigrants"!!

Or, as Dingy Harry has been known to call them "Undocumented Americans."

Please explain to me why we should have to figure out how to insure those who are here illegally!!

 

 

.... uuumm .... you know ....

.... them!

That will be one of the reasons for an amnesty program...

They will try to push through amnesty because none of those poor illegals have healthcare.

So who is going to apologize

So who is going to apologize to Wilson for apologizing?

 

You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

"Must coordinate mouth with brain, mouth with brain, mouth..."

Look closely, you can see it: Plugs was thinking so hard sparks were shooting out from the bolts on his neck. 

But nice to see him take some time off from that "overseeing the stimulus" thing. That's gotta be a pretty demanding job day in and day out.

This is why they do not give him gum

He cannot multitask.

aka the vice embarrassment

I'm sorry Mr. Wilson felt the need to apologize for telling the truth. When ole purple lips are moving it's a sure bet that he's lying.

the way I see it

Here's the way I see it.  When the statement came out which the congressman yelled "You lie!", it was followed by what some might perceive to be a rebuttal to which Soetoro said "That's not true!"

Are we sure he wasn't just confirming that the previous sentence he said was in fact not true?

He could say that with a straight face because it's the truth.

I know, a bit of a stretch.

One can call a steaming pile of horse dung rose food but in the end you still have a steaming pile of horse dung.  the same with "undocumented workers."

Undocumented Aliens

Give us some time and we get them the documents they need, then all will be fine.

We WILL be footing the bill for illegal criminals in America...

...as there is no way the dems are going to exclude them from their government health care plan.

It also looks like government health care is going to be a reality, thanks to the fact that 2/3 of the government-schooled dumbMasses now apparently support it.

God help the United Srtates of America.

Undocumented criminals

I hate the term "undocumented workers". That's implying that all illegals in the U.S. are working and I'm certain that that's not the case. I'm hispanic and it's great to be a minority because when I make these arguments to people I work with, they can't call me racist.

aaagh

Sometimes I have this like....fancifal vision that Obama will really overstep his boundaries and he will be impeached and removed....and then I think of who would replace him.  Yipes.

Joe Biden, "the man in the Whitehouse's"  ALL purpose insurance policy...Although I don't think Bisen has a clue what Soetoro's up to, and loves this country, so maybe a Presiden Biden for a couple years wouldn't be all that bad.

looks like Joe will have to go back in the box again.

Another Joe

I noticed that Joe Biden said "how we're going to insure illegal aliens." So, the administration does plan to insure illegals and the Vice President admits it with his own words. I guess Joe Wilson was right.

E-Verify, Illegal aliens and Health care.

The only way President Obama has any possibility of passing
health care reform, is a commitment to remove illegal immigrants from gaining entrance
to any public option? In the health care bill they must--PROVE--to the
majority of the American People that--NO ILLEGAL FOREIGN NATIONAL--will be able
to bleed the government extension in the package. An amendment to the 1000 page
reform bill, must guarantee--IN THE WORDING-- that a very thorough background
identity check is performed on any applicant who applies? E-Verify would be a
progressive identifier, with an initial examination of Social Security number
in conjunction with Homeland Security Databases.

To complete the operation of E-Verification this PC application, must
branch out across the country as a permanent tool in business and industry for
every worker newly hired or long time employee. Thousands or even millions of
illegal workers could be hiding in plain site in the workplace, as they have
never been checked as a citizen or legal residency compliance? It also seems
that the auditing of 1-9 forms around the country, that the federal authorities
forget to mention that irregularities by employers only allows them to dismiss
the applicant?  The fact is that ICE raids have trailed off, so that any illegal
workers--ARE NOT DEPORTED--they can move onto yet another workplace. Anybody
who is suspected of being in this sovereign nation illegally should be detained
and held for ICE inspection, not released into the public mainstream?

We all know that Fraudulent ID is so prevalent, that all security systems have
been compromised, with even al-Qaeda
murderers who brought down three passenger jets. On 9/11 these terrorists had
in their possession numerous authentic drivers’ licenses and other picture ID.
E-Verify is not perfect and can be cheated, but as it's modified, collecting
more tools to compliment the enforcement program it success rate will become
exemplary.  Those hired workers who then find themselves under suspicion,
can have errors resolved through any Social Security agency. That special
interest groups have remained silent about this matter, doesn't need any
explanation? most Americans want enforcement at our borders, the workplace, so
contact your reluctant politician  at  202-224-3121 MORE HONEST
INFORMATION AT NUMBERSUSA & JUDICIAL WATCH. REMEMBER NO MORE BLANKET AMNESTIES!

BTW, Obama referred to the

BTW, Obama referred to last night about persons who are in the US illegally. To the woodshed!

I always am dumbfound by the expression ''undocumented." Most illegals have documents coming out the wazoo, bought on the street. Many have a half dozen on them when apprehended. There periodically have been bills in state legislatures to grant illegals drivers licences. My question is under which of his names is the illegal to put on the license?

Doubling the insanity is the phrase "''undocumented workers." If they are workers they why due the illegal advocate also insist they should be eligible for welfare benefits and free health care?
