Jo-Homer Biden's brain scan

No matter the outcome in Egypt, the P-BO administration can claim success. If Mubarak stays and the situation settles, P-BO can say, see, we told you so. If Mubarak stays and the situation goes south, P-BO can say the same thing; if he leaves quickly and the situation settles, same thing; if he leaves quickly and the situation goes south, same thing.


The reason P-BO can claim credit fro every outcome is because since the start of the flare up P-BO and his minions have advocated for every possible outcome. Mubarak is not dictator. No wait. Yes he is. Mubarak should go. No wait. He should stay. No wait. He should go, but not today. You name any one of the infinite possibilities for Egypt and you can Google where someone in P-BO’s dope farm of an administration has advocated for that possibility. It’s like betting field at the track. You’ve got the winner right there in your pocket.  It is also like the global warmongers.  No matter what the weather condition is, it supports the warmonger's theory that the planet is turning into a cinder right before our very eyes - no matter how cold it is outside.

So P-BO has ensured himself a winner no matter what and plausible deniability if things go south. If Mubarak stays and things blow up you can just hear the pant load, “Well we knew it was a bad idea for him to stay. Besides, everyone knows that is all Bush’s fault anyway. Right?”

Someone, Mark Twain I think, said, I’d rather keep my mouth shut and have people think I’m a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.” Hmmm, that’s a perfect line for our Homer Simpsonesque VP. A leader first assess the situation, finds out what’s happening, what’s not happening, determines how best he influence the action and THEN speaks. P-BO’s clown college rushed to issue a statement, learned a few facts, issued a new statement, learned some more facts, clarified the previous statement and issued demands, learned some more facts, removed the previous demands, issued new demands, re-clarified it’s ever shifting position etc. etc. And it continues to this very day.

Here’s what P-BO might have said early on:

Egypt has, to this point, been a stable platform against terrorism in the Middle East. We pray that the government and the demonstrators can reconcile their difference peacefully and in a way that will simultaneously increase democratic principles and Egypt’s commitment to battling terrorism.

Instead you have walking gaffe machine Jo-Homer Biden first out of the box with a statement that had to be walked back the very second it left his nearly empty head. You’re doing a heck of a job Jo-Homer.
