The Great Debate among Americans for the past two years has been concerning the president of our country.  It goes something like this:  Does Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) actually know what he’s doing to us or is he in waaay over his head?

Recently, Vice-President Joe (Stand up, Chuck!) Biden sat down with Lisa De Paulo of GQ magazine and answered the following questions:

Do you think the perception of the president as aloof and not caring is a bad rap?

I really do. Look, one of the things I’ve never been accused of is not caring about people. And so I think I’m a pretty good judge of folks who are. I watch this guy; I have lunch with him every single week. We sit for an hour alone, and there’s nothing on our agenda, just the two of us. I spend—when we’re both in town? I spend three, five, six hours a day with him, I mean literally.

Really?

Really. I start off with the presidential daily brief, which is on the economy, on national security. I meet with him when he meets once a week with Clinton and Gates. I meet with him when any congressman or senator or governor’s involved. I meet with him when there’s any event that has to do with foreign policy. I’m engaged. I’m with him in the situation room, because I do so much on the foreign-policy side. And so I watch the guy. And I find nothing, nothing about him that’s aloof. Look, I judge people in large part by how they treat people who wait on them at a table. Watch him. Watch how he treats ordinary people. There’s nothing aloof about him.

So what is it?

I think what it is, is he’s so brilliant. He is an intellectual. And the president, in a strange way, has more faith in the American people than about anybody I know. He sits there and says, “Look, we just tell ’em. Just tell them.” It’s almost kind of a blind faith. You know, when someone will say to him, “Well, look, Mr. President, you really oughta do it this way.” [He says] “No. The American people get this. Just tell them. Just go out there and do the right thing.” I don’t want to—I’m not making him—he’s not a moralizer. But he’s just… Look, think about the guy. This is an African-American who had a Caucasian mother, raised in a Caucasian neighborhood by Caucasian grandparents. Talk about a guy who knows what it’s like. This is a guy who gets it. This is a guy, for example, when we were talking about making compromises on health care just to get it done, he said, “Look, this is an historic opportunity. What about all those poor whites? What about all those black men who are gonna be left out? No, this is it.” He has a great expression. He says—and the reason why I’m confident we’ll be reelected—he says, “Look, I always joke, I always wanted to be a former president. If it has to be in four years, so be it. As long as we do the right thing.”

One of the reasons we kind of balance each other? I probably am too much of Scranton. Hi, you know, hug, touch. It was the way I was raised. Whereas he is not, you know, emotive that way. I think that’s why we make such a good team.

You said earlier that Obama knew, before the election, that he could never meet the expectations.

Yeah. I mean, the expectations were sooo inordinately high. But I think, in a sense—and this is gonna sound strange to you, probably—that the expectations of the press were higher than the people’s expectations. Because here comes this guy who is, you know, handsome, smart, athletic, ran an incredible campaign. This guy’s got a backbone like a ramrod, a brain bigger than his skull, and a heart that just keeps beatin’. And so the press saw that, too.

May I throw up now?

I don’t think you’ll find any Republican or Democrat, scholar or student, who’ll tell you that he didn’t accomplish more in the first two years than about anybody since Franklin Roosevelt. The only disagreement is, Republicans will say he accomplished too much of the wrong thing. And some on the left say he accomplished mostly good things but not enough of it. The truth of the matter is that I think the American people know where this guy’s heart is.

Out of the mouths of babes and Joe Biden.  Yeah, I would say that, judging from the Midterm Elections, Americans know exactly where Obama’s heart is.  Remember what he said to Joe the Plumber?

How about what he says in this speech, ironically posted on youtube.com by an adherent to the Muslim faith:

In the interview, Crazy Uncle Joe said:

Watch how he treats ordinary people. There’s nothing aloof about him.

Explain this, Mr. Vice-President:

This is brilliant?  By whose standards? 

As I have written before, this President and his administration as so out of touch with the American people, it’s unbelievable.  From his failed economic policies to the shoving down our throats of Obamacare, he has shown a blatant disregard for the wishes of the American people, projecting an image, not unlike that of a dictator who views himself as the smartest man in the room and does what is best for his subjects, regardless of their wishes.

Brilliant?  Mr. Vice-President, respectfully, sir, I do not think that you know what that word means.
