Joe Biden Swine Flu Plane Warning

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:48:36 +0000

Joe Biden appeared on The Today Show where Matt Lauer interviewed Biden about the Swine Flu pandemic. Lauer asked what Biden would tell his family about Swine Flue precautions. Biden said in part:

"I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now …"

"… I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now. It’s not that it’s going to Mexico, it’s you’re in a confined aircraft when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft. That’s me. I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation suggesting they ride the subway."

"… If you’re out in the middle of a field and someone sneezes that’s one thing. If you’re in a closed aircraft or a closed container or closed car or closed classroom it’s a different thing …"

I talked about the risk of flying with people who have the Swine Flu yesterday. Joe is completely correct. The Swine Flu, like other types of influenza, is spread through the air by coughing, sneezing, and even breathing, thus the reason for the masks. The World Health Organization tried to downplay Biden’s comments today, but Biden is 100% correct.

Ashley Biden Snorting Cocaine Video Tape

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 19:48:41 +0000

Ashley Biden, daughter of United States Vice President Joe Biden, was allegedly caught on video tape snorting cocaine.

Thomas Dunlap is an attorney representing the man who filmed Ashley in a 43 minute tape that was shown to The New York Post. The man is showing bits of the tape in an effort to sell the tape for more than the $250,000 he has already been offered.

The New York Post reports the woman, who appears to be Ashley, appears to be aware she is being video taped when she snorted the cocaine.

Dunlap said Ashley didn’t have Secret Service protection at the time of the party because she complained about agents blocking her driveway.

In 2002 Ashley was arrested when she yelled at a cop trying to arrest her disorderly friend outside a Chicago club, according to published report. Ashley was charged with obstructing, but the rap was later dropped after she apologized.

We await a statement by Joe Biden.

This is very sad. We hope father is able to get daughter into rehab if she needs it.

Barbara West Interviews Joe Biden on WFTV

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 22:39:53 +0000

Barbara West, on October 23, 2008, interviewed the Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden, asking him whether he was "embarrassed" about Barack Obama’s affiliation with ACORN, allegations of voter registration fraud by ACORN in elections past, comparing Obama’s response to a question from Ohio voter "Joe the Plumber" to a quote from Karl Marx, and suggesting that Obama was a Marxist who wants to turn the U.S. "into a socialist country much like Sweden." At one point during the interview, Senator Biden asked West if she was joking, and later suggested she was offering "talking points" against Barack Obama.

The Obama campaign responded by canceling a subsequent interview with the candidate’s wife, Jill Biden. The campaign’s official statement was, "This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election." Obama’s Florida spokeswoman, Adrianne Marsh, called Biden’s interviewer, Barbara West, "both combative and woefully uninformed about simple facts."

WFTV’s news director defended West, saying she had not been inappropriately tough, but some media commentators criticized her performance by comparing it to her interview with Republican candidate John McCain when she had asked him questions such as "Why haven’t you gone after [Obama] on these serious issues of voter registration fraud and the mortgage crisis?" and "Do you feel that the Democrats are trying to paint you into a box – in other words, make it impossible for you to criticize Sen. Obama?"

West was principal assistant to Peter Jennings while he was anchor for ABC’s World News Tonight in London. She helped cover such stories as the Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana and the Iranian Hostage Crisis.

West makes only two specific claims in the beginning of her WFTV.com biography. Those claims were that her work has taken her to President Bush’s inauguration and to President Clinton’s impeachment.

Barbara West has served as health reporter and anchor for WFTV’s news at noon and 5:30 for the past 16 years.

West attended the University of Vermont. While there, she won the 1969 Miss Vermont contest and was selected to represent her state in the national Miss America competition. She later obtained a Master’s Degree from the University of Vermont. Before starting her career in television news, she was an assistant professor at the University of Vermont.

Barbara West is married to Wade West, a political and media consultant for politicians, professionals and organizations.

If the video above is taken down by YouTube, as most videos critical of Obama are, click here to view the interview on WFTV site.

On October 27 West did an equally tough interview with John McCain, who answered the questions, and didn’t issue a statement later that he wouldn’t go on West’s show again, like cry baby Obama did. Click here to see West interview McCain.

The interviews West did with both McCain and Biden were some of the best, and most direct, I’ve ever seen. West should win a bunch of awards for asking questions of both candidates that we’d all like to hear. It’s just too bad that Obama didn’t allow West to interview him directly, but instead sent his scape goat Joe Biden.

Joe Biden Says Barack Obama will Cause International Crisis

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 23:24:27 +0000

Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned an audience at his second Seattle fundraiser on Sunday in Seattle Washington, that Barack Obama would cause an international crisis because agressive countries in the world would test Obama’s lack of executive experience. Biden said:

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. And he’s gonna have to make some really tough decisions, I don’t know what the decision’s gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history, and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it’s gonna happen."

Biden has said before about Obama, "The Presidency doesn’t lend itself to on-the-job-training." Biden keeps trying to tell us that Obama lacks the experience needed to be President. He’s Obama’s Vice Presidential nominee, and if Biden is credible, then maybe we should be listening to him. Biden was chosen by Obama because of Biden’s international relations experience, so we should believe Biden when he says Obama will cause an international crisis in the first six months of his Presidency.

Russia has suddenly become very agressive again. Maybe that’s because they believe Obama will be elected. Our economy can’t afford an international crisis in the first six months of the next Presidency. Biden’s own comments confirm he doesn’t believe a crisis of any sort would ocurr if John McCain was elected.

Biden is giving us a lot to consider.

Above is a picture of Barack Obama who provided a glowing endorsement of a book by domestic terrorist William Ayers in the December 21, 1997 Chicago Tribune.

Click below to read the whole story …

Barack Obama, who has consistently downplayed his relationship with William Ayers during his presidential campaign, once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by the former domestic terrorist and was mentioned by name in the book itself.

A blogger unearthed the Dec. 21, 1997, endorsement in the Chicago Tribune and posted photographs of the praise for Ayers’ book on Zombietime.com Saturday.

Featured next to a smiling photograph of himself, then-State Senator Obama called Ayers’ book, "A Kind and Just Parent: Children of the Juvenile Court," a "searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair."

The book, which details life at the Chicago Juvenile Court prison school, mentions Obama by name on page 82 when it describes Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood:

"Our neighbors include Muhammad Ali, former mayor Eugene Sawyer, poets Gwendolyn Brooks and Elizabeth Alexander, and writer Barack Obama. Minister Louis Farrakhan lives a block from our home and adds, we think, a unique dimension to the idea of ’safe neighborhood watch’: the Fruit of Islam, his security force, has an eye on things twenty-four-hours a day."

The Obama campaign said the blurb was not a full-fledged review of the book.

"He didn’t do a review. He provided one line about the book to the Tribune," campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told FOXNews.com.

A month before the item appeared, on Nov. 20, 1997, Michelle Obama, then dean of student services and director of the University Community Service Center, held a panel at the University of Chicago that featured both Barack Obama and Ayers.

"Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School, who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system," the University of Chicago Chronicle reported on Nov. 6, 1997.

Obama has been criticized for refusing to elaborate on the extent of his relationship with Ayers and for claiming to have had no idea Ayers was a co-founder of the Wesather Underground, which claimed responsibility for bombing the Pentagon, U.S. Capitol and a New York Supreme Court justice’s home in the Sixties.

The Obama campaign has noted that Obama was 8 years old when Ayers and the Weather Underground were active and has no link to their activities. Ayers has said he has "no regrets" about his participation in the domestic terror group.

"A Kind and Just Parent" was in stock at Amazon.com and ranked 51,273 in sales on Monday.

Jim Piccillo Introduces Joe Biden as John McCain

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 16:29:23 +0000

Jim Piccillo introduced Joe Biden at a rally as "the next Vice President of the United States John McCain." The audience clapped on cue. Would they have still clapped if McCain really walked out on stage?

Jim Piccillo, who is a father of two, is a Republican who started campaigning for Barack Hussein Obama after Jim was laid off from his job. I have to wonder if perhaps Jim lost his job because he kept making simple mistakes like calling people by the wrong name.

Sarah Palin and Joe Biden Debate – Who Won?

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 03:28:00 +0000

In the Sarah Palin and Joe Biden Vice Presidential debate, Palin performed much better than expected, and was able to go toe-to-toe with Biden. Palin is a great communicator.

I would like to see Biden go back and read the United States Constitution. If you don’t know what I’m talking about you have to wait to see the full video. We’ll post video of the debate as soon as it comes online.

The one person who definitely lost is Hillary Clinton. Palin proved herself to be a superstar, and is now the most popular woman in politics, and I should add, Palin did it all with NO help from her husband, as Hillary had to do.

Who do you think won the debate?

Katie Couric Asks Sarah Palin Which Newspapers She Reads

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:04:18 +0000

Katie Couric was allowed to travel and interview Sarah Palin for several days. Barack Hussein Obama only allowed conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly to interview him for 30 minutes, and Obama never gave a direct answer because he refuses to commit to any position he can’t changed his mind on later.

It comes as no surprise that Katie finally found something the liberal democrats can call a weakness, and it is. Katie asked Sarah which reading material she has read to keep her informed about the rest of the world, but Sarah didn’t have an answer. I don’t believe Sarah did much reading about things outside Alaska, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Sarah will learn going forward like Obama started to learn about international issues after he started running for President. In fact, Obama is still so weak on international policy that he had to pick Joe Biden as his running mate, because Joe, who will not be President, does have international experience. If it’s okay for Obama not to have international experience even though he is running for President, then it’s okay for Sarah Palin who is running for Vice President. John McCain has more international experience than even Joe Biden, and McCain is running for President. If after several years some illness were to strike McCain, Palin would be adequately educated in international relations, and would be able to take over. Obama is in the same boat as Palin, and if elected President he won’t be ready because he’ll still lack interational relations knowledge.

As Joe Biden, Barack Obama’s Vice Presidential running mate said, "The Presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training." Obama is not ready. He is the issue, because obama is running for President. Palin doesn’t need to know everything to be Vice President, but she will get the training in her weak areas.

McCain is ready to lead, and has been. Remember when Russia attacked Georgia. McCain came right out and condemned Russia. Obama started out saying both sides were guilty and should talk. Five days later Obama changed his position to exactly that of McCain. All while Georgia was being attack, Obama was vacationing in Hawaii, where he has temporarily suspended his President campaign to relax. When our financial and mortgage system melted down, McCain suspended his campaign and went back to Washington D.C. to work on a deal, and Obama criticized McCain for not making the first Presidential debate a priority. McCain made his country his first priority, which is something Obama doesn’t do.

Listen to Joe Biden comment below on Barack Obama’s international experience.

Joe Biden is Not Smart on the Economy

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:30:24 +0000

Joe Biden has impressed me recently with his honesty. First he said the attack ads on Sarah Palin and John McCain were "terrible." Refreshing.

Biden then said he thought Hillary Clinton would have made a better Vice Presidential pick that himself, and should have been the Presidential nominee.

Lastly, Biden really put both feet in his mouth, or at least he should have before he talk about the stock market crash in 1929. Biden said the President at that time was Franklin Delanor Roosevelt, who got on television … Wait a minute, F.D.R. wasn’t President at that time, it was Herbert Hoover (a Quaker), who served from 1929 to 1933. Sometimes Biden says some really dumb things, but his lack of historic knowledge regarding the stock market crash is especially concerning with our current stock market crash occurring now. Oh, and television didn’t exist when Hoover was President either. Biden said in the clip below, “Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence by demonstrating what he or she knows what they’re talking about …” Oops.

Below is a historical video about Herbert Hoover. It’s good to know who our Presidents were, and are today, not just what other people say and said about them.

Joe Biden Supports Higher Taxes

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:24:43 +0000

Joe Biden, the Vice Presidential running mate of Barack Obama, said:

"Raising taxes is patriotic. We want to take money (from the rich), and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people. It’s time (for the rich) to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

Joe Biden wants to be Robin Hood. Take money from the rich and give it to the poor, which is also a concept in socialist and communist teachings. In America we are all expected to work for what the get. The rich want to get richer so they provide jobs, and start businesses, which in turn grows our economy. The poor and middle class work those jobs, and look for opportunities to make themselves rich, or at least comfortable. If money needs to be returned to the American people, then perhaps congress should stop spending so much on entitlement programs, affirmative action which doesn’t reward the best qualified job candidates, and lower taxes in areas that affect the majority of Americans. We don’t need to raise taxes on the rich, we need to lower taxes for non-wealthy Americans. Congress takes and takes in taxes, then expects the successful Americans to pay more.

John McCain said:

"Raising taxes in a tough economy isn’t patriotic. It’s not a badge of honor. It’s just plain dumb."

In an economy that is slowing down after a period of growth, the surest way to cause that economy to collapse would be to raise taxes, which insures money flows out of the economy, and into the government treasury. The government has already taxed us heavily, and now they want to tax the rich even more, as if the slowing economy is their fault. The government needs to provide tax relief, and incentives for new businesses to startup and provides jobs, and growth.

How do you think we can get the economy growing again?
