More Biden gaffes

Joe Biden just can’t help himself: Every time he opens his mouth he manages to step right into it.

Biden responded to a campaign ad run by his own campaign with: “I didn’t know we did it and if I had anything to do with it, we’d have never done it. I thought that was terrible, by the way.” (Source: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080923/D93C985O0.html)

The ad mocked John McCain for being computer illiterate and claimed McCain is out-of-touch. However, it didn’t take into account that McCain’s computer troubles stem from him being unable to correctly position his arms/shoulders due to the injuries he suffered as a prisoner of war.

In a second recent gaffe, Biden spoke out ahead of his running mate on the Bush Administration’s plan to bail out the mortgage companies. Biden attack the proposal on the very same day Obama attack McCain for opposing it. NBC’s Matt Lauer on the “Today” show pointed out to Obama his running mate and McCain had the same position.

Obama’s response: “I think that in that situation, I think Joe should have waited, as well.”
