Biden Warns: If This Jobs Bill Doesn’t Pass, Your Chances of Getting Raped or Murdered Will Rise

Last month, President Obama warned us that if we didn’t help get the jobs bill passed, our chances of dying in a bridge collapse would rise. Today, Joe Biden upped the ante while in Flint, Michigan trying to resuscitate the same jobs bill the Senate voted down yesterday.

Transcript via Weekly Standard:

“In 2008, when Flint had 265 sworn officers on their police force, there were 35 murders and 91 rapes in this city,” Biden said. “In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes–just to pick two categories–climbed to 229. In 2011, you now only have 125 shields. God only knows what the numbers will be this year for Flint if we don’t rectify it.”

If the jobs bill doesn’t ultimately pass and you really want to live on the edge, try driving across a bridge in Flint.

There are fewer police officers in Flint these days? Um, wasn’t one of Sheriff Biden’s selling points for the “Recovery and Reinvestment Act” that it would help hire more local police? Pluggers is unwittingly pointing out that economic “stimulus” as designed by this administration has had an opposite to the “as advertised” effect.

… After the next presidential election I am sure that he will be more than qualified to expertly speak about being raped.

Oh. For a minute there I thought you were talking after he and Obama are sent to federal prison following convictions on racketeering and wire fraud. The election will be good enough. Pelosi and Reid will be able to speak to that too.

Biden is admitting the “jobs” bill is not intended to create jobs but rather to continue to fund the affluence of loyal Democrat constituencies like the public employee unions. The only jobs ‘saved’ will be those that vote the right way.

Our chances of getting murdered rise if we don’t all kneel towards Mecca and proclaim ourselves Muslims…SO, I guess it behooves us all to proclaim ourselves Muslims, and join-in with the Final Solution to the Jewish Question…
