Biden’s not interested in compromise or working with Republicans, he just wants them to get out of the way:

Something I didn’t catch when listening to Biden on his General Motors riff was that Biden still thinks he’s in the 20th century (h/t Weekly Standard):

About right.

He is dividing the country. And his speech to African Americans...."putting them back in chains," is the most disgraceful thing ever out of his mouth. That is whay I call Biden, "the gaffe king." He is a fool who needs to go with his boss, the self proclaimed Messiah/Obama.

What Barry, Joe and the rest of the Demo-clowns fail to recognize (and I'm really appalled that no one on the republican side is pointing this out) is that the majority of the new republicans (make that conservatives) that were sent to Washington in 2010 were sent by their constituents for the express purpose of stopping the progressive agenda. That giant sucking sound you hear is the country going down the toilet, and if we don't get these rats out of office this year, there may be no turning back.

those dang checks and balances, getting in the way all the time. And people of differing opinions being able to have a voice in the government??? You don't say. Although there are plenty of countries that do have a one party system. Joe should go to one if he likes it so much. And by the way Joe don't forget that for the first two years Democrats controlled 2/3's of the government. AND....your own party voted down every budget that Obama has submitted. Probably because they were such great plans and the republicans blackmailed them. Idiot.

Thank God we have slowed them down. Thank God.

But he's right... we haven't stopped them... not yet.

This guy is delusional... he's a puppet and he is among those who are the problem.

"We could do so much more if Republicans would just get out of the way."

Consider that a warning people! And we ought to heed their words.

Yeah, Joey, if the Republicans got out of the dims' way, we'd be $32T in debt. No thanks.

Riiiiiiight Joe. Lets forget about the super majority your party had in the House of Reps and the control of the Senate you had and yet you still couldnt pass a budget. Dear Joe please start your meds again, they might help your crazy rants of bo, oh i mean bs.

Aren't the Democrats always squawcking about the need for "bipartisanship" in Congress to get things done? Obama was never, ever, interested in anything the Republicans had to say since day 1 of his administration. Remember is famous line to John McCain? Obama said something to the effect that "Elections have consequences and we won" to McCain. Well, OK then, just wait until November. If Republicans hold the House and gain the Senate and the White House, then Obama and Biden can see what real "bipartisanship" looks like. The only way you're going to get real reform in government these days is if you have a super majority like the Democrats had in 2008. Sad to have to say that, but it's now true. So in a sense Biden is right if he thinks a lot can be achieved if only one party ran things in Washington. Problem is, the wrong party is now in power. That will change in November.

Yeah, Joe-Joe, I'm sure a lot of people had to modify their mortgages thanks to your boss' ineptness....their mortgages are now probably zero because they lost their homes!!!! Plus this country is now $16T in debt...thanks for that!!! My six-year old grandson will be paying that off forever, and I HATE that more than I can describe. Yet, you blame the Republicans for all the woes of this country. Wake up, Joe-Joe........awww, never mind you wouldn't do any better if you were wide awake, instead of being in that permanent dazed state of yours!!!!

It would be awesome to have a wind up Biden doll. At the most inopportune time just pull the string and see what the hell happens.

Lets see Crazy Joey can't spell the word Job, he doesn't even know what state he's in half the time. And he works for a guy who thinks that there are 57 US states. These two clowns are the product of poor genetics and academic malfeasance. Only a complete dumba$$ could vote for these two imbeciles.

It's called a 2 party system. Will you Democrats "just get out of the way" for Mitt Romney? No, I don't think so.

And, by the way, wasn't it Republican GW Bush who started the auto bailouts? Someone refresh my memory here.

PS, we Conservatives didn't like that move either.

Yes, things for the Democrats would be so much simpler in a one party Socialist state. Those Tea Partiers would be all off in reeducation camps. The Republican politicians would be all locked up in prisons "in the interests of national security" Elections would be a thing of the past as would Congress - After all NObama has been ignoring Congress since the beginning, why not just get rid of it and rule by diktat. This is, I believe NObama's and Hairplugs dream! - Our NIGHTMARE! And if NObama IS reelected, it might well come true! (major shudders) Vote for Romney/Ryan and do your part to make NObama a One term failure!

Like I said above, what about the people applauding this? Do they even know what it is they are saying? What would the USA be like if Joe got what he wanted and they're all clapping for?

Guess it was the Republican who prevented you from executing your duties and coming up with a budget. Oh, and what's that stack of bills, passed by the house piling up on Dirty Harry's desk that won't ever be voted on in the Senate? Did you forget about them?

Some thoughts on Biden's rant:

The GM bailout has, so far, cost the American taxpayers 35 billion dollars.

The government still owns apx 25% of the company, whose stocks have continued to plummet.

It is very doubtful GM will ever pay back the stimulus money.

Automakers count their sales when the cars are delivered to a dealer, not when they are sold to an actual consumer and so GM is loading up dealers with cars that are not selling to make the manufacturers sales figures look good. Meanwhile the dealers are crying foul and protesting the overstocked position the administration has put them in. Dealers pay interest of the loans secured to pay for these cars.

Anybody buying Chevy Volts? No.

As far as the Democrats being able to part the seas if it weren't for Republicans being in the way, well they had two full years of majority in both houses and the White House and what did they accomplish?

steprock

Darned straight. Two years of EXACTLY what he wanted and they still had to cheat and connive to get the health care bill passed.

Biden reminds me of a quote Al Bundy's daughter made: "If you are going to lose, lose big" - Biden you are really losing big.

'We could do so much more if they would just get out of the way, these Republicans' - Biden

Yeah, and I could make so much more money if those bank guards would just get out of the way, too.

GM a success? Hmmm...

Not yet we haven't, not yet. But soon, very soon. Do you hear the footsteps?

Yes, we have slowed their "progress" meaning they can't just "deem" bills and have a filbuster proof Senate.

Gosh, checks and balances sure does suck./

It's called balance and compromise. "We could have this US Constitution written already if those Northerners would just get out of the way."

Good idea.

This GM claim is totally bogus. GM is again behind Toyota. But GM was only ahead of Toyota for a bit because Toyota was wiped out by a Tsunami. The biggest one in Japan in hundreds of years.

But for a long time way back in the 20th century they were number 1. Does Joe have Alzheimer's.

G, Biden doesn't even know where he is half, most, of the time so he may really think we should have one party rule.
