Biden Prediction: Dems Will Retake House

Sheriff Joe Biden may only half-heartedly believe what he’s saying here. It’s just that word around Capitol Hill is that if you help convince Nancy that her reunion with the Speaker’s gavel is imminent, there’s a good chance she’ll throw a pretty good stock tip your way, so what the heck.

From The Hill:

House Democrats will win the House in November, swinging the gavel back into the hands of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Vice President Joe Biden predicted Friday.

“Nancy, I think, is not going to be remembered just for being the first woman Speaker,” Biden said, “she’s going to remembered for being the second woman speaker.”

Addressing House Democrats gathered on the Eastern Shore for their annual retreat, Biden said the combination of GOP obstructionism and a strengthening economy will propel the Democrats back into control of the lower chamber after just two years in the minority.

“It’s becoming absolutely clear the decisions that we made … are actually working,” Biden said, speaking softly because he said he’s battling a cold.

It’s sort of a “bad thought, good thought” situation. The bad is that Joe Biden is predicting the Dems will control the House after the election. The good is that in 2010 he predicted the same thing, and, well, you know how that turned out.

That much is true. She will be remembered for being the worst Speaker, woman or otherwise.

The photo above needs to be edited to put a feeding tube in her claw, with which she crams putrid legislation down America’s gullet.

…coming to a slightly different conclusion:

The POTUS, vPOTUS, and the ‘rest’ of our so-called leaders (including the DNC chair); are PROOF positive, that our ‘education system’ has failed.

Where is the common sense, perspective, and supposed analytical thought….that was “honed” by our institutions, of higher learning?

Just curious…
