The Curse of Joe Biden
Are we rejoicing that a historic healthcare bill finally got passed allowing insurance for just about 94%of Americans? (Take that Canada)
Children up to age 26 will be able to remain on their parents’ insurance
We get to have the same flavor of health insurance that some of our favorite members of congress
Small business owners will snag tax credits to cover their employees?
Joe Biden just waits in the shadows until Barack accomplishes something, then just comes out at the grand occasion– just like that drunk uncle at Christmas who you try to keep away from the small children.
But for this, Obama has yet another reason to keep Uncle Joe in the barn outback:
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Whispering dangersously close to the President’s ear is one thing. Doing it in front of a host of newsmedia is another. Shouting the F-bomb into several on mics…well, that’s the kooky gamble you take when letting the Vice President out into the United States.
Everyone’s in an uproar about this F-Word. But lest we forget what minority leader John Boehner said?
Usual winner of the crying game, I am surprised Boehner didn’t revert to his usual teary eyed tactics of throwing a tantrum to get his point across, although he never really has one to get attention.
Or the Tea Party
Or that James Clyburn (D-SC) had racial epithets hurled at him and images of nooses faxed to him.
I like what we pay attention to.
So, in sum,
we know Joe Biden has a lot of gaffes:
But let’s not act like there aren’t things being said and done to members of congress who stood up for health care reform, in revolts and verbal assaults since the 1960′s. Remember them?
at least the F word doesn’t offend a specific group of people. Unless you’re one of these two…

‘Nauguration January 20th, 2009
What a blessing! Today, Inauguration Day, Barack Obama and his administration were officially sworn in!
Beautiful! I was there on the mall to see it in person! This officially made Barack Obama the 44th President of the U.S.A.!
Lemme tell u i was feeeeening to go to the Inauguration. So after much deliberating, going back and forth with a potential host, and even a couple of arguments, I finally decided to go down to Washington D.C. By myself.(kinda). I just hate waiting on people and the wishy-washiness that ensues. Especially with something of this caliber. Armed with some Seltzer water, A Mc Donald’s bag (sans french fries), my iPod, and some Animal Crackers, I was on my way.
I took the 3:45, (well it turned into the 4:30 cuz thats when it left) Greyhound bus down. I hadn’t slept the entire day prior, so as soon as I sat down I knocked out. By the time I awoke it was 8AM and I was sitting in the nation’s capitol.
Musta been about-61 degrees outside but it was ok. I was there to see Barack. Walking up the small hill from the station you could see the top of the dome from the bottom. & Sheesh there were a lot of people.
My mother, who’d caught an earlier bus had been walking around as well. However, she had the tickets.
The Purple Tickets.
After walking around tryna figure out where D Street & Independence St. were, I doubled back to New Jersey Ave. by the Purple entrance where not only the parental was, but a crowd of roughly 39 million. All tryna get in. However we did meet these men (one a Nupe) who were really nice, and would have been cool had they been my peer than my grandmother’s age. You know that ain’t stop them from asking if I was married…
But we made it! And snagged a darn good spot at that. We were just in time for…
the appetizer…
…and the main course!
Of course that small flub was a little stranger in person, cuz I wasn’t sure if I was listening right. Nonetheless, it was official. Then came the 21 gun salute, the cheers from the crowd & the flag waving. It was the 1st time I’d even bought an American flag, nonetheless waved it.
I got home just in time to watch the Neighborhood Ball. And even though I was pooped & Sting put me to sleep, I woke back up when this clip was showing:
If this doesn’t @ least make u get just a lil’ choked up, ur disgusting.
Nonetheless, no bit of news information seems to be complete nor is it exempt from Beyonce. Somehow this woman finds her way into everything, and strongarming herself into performing at the Inaugural Ball should come as no surprise.
I was actually glad that she spoke. For once you got to see her true emotions- not scripted. She actually sounds good when she starts using her own words.
The Obamas attended 10 balls that night, but one thing is for certain. This day was beyond historical, it was stupendous, incredible. It is hard to measure with words what seeing Barack Obama sworn in as President of The United States was comparable to. Its because it wasn’t. It was fantastic and I am so blessed and glad I got to go and see it in person down on the mall.
There is definitely more on the way!

Silly Sh*t I Like To Watch
I know it’s been a couple days & I’m sorry. I won’t desert you like that!
So laugh cuz this commercial is funny!
…Then there’s this…I’ve been meaning to post it for a while…
Barbara West: How is Senator Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?
Joe Biden: B*itch r u kidding me?
Barbara West: No, That really is a question. I really just asked u that.
Joe Biden: I dunno what’s worse; the fact some ass*ole actually wrote that question in the first place, or the fact that you said that sh*t out loud w/out reading to yourself it first.
This was on the news folks. The news. It basically went a little something like this:
This is not silly, however, it’s quite real. Look @ these Children set it str8:
Here’s a better version in case you got confused as I often do when many children are voices are in the air all at once:
Where did the girls go?
These kids are 7th graders, and have a better grasp of the political system than…..well….than
oh wait, u mean that wasn’t actually her on Saturday Night Live except for that one time?
But I do like the fact that this was on CNN and they showed little Black males who had an interest in this election, clearly showcased both sides, (with favoritism toward Obama! Yes!) and wanted to get a positive point across in an adorable little kid way.
Somewhat.
There is no other choice.
You need this!
Election Daaaayyyyy!
Love,
Ms. Officer
Barack Obama!
As if you had a choice, you watched Barack Obama last night. He commandeered your telly, making it rain on 3 major networks, pushing back the World Series (you know how folk get about they’re Baseball) with a simulcast on numerous cable channels.
Wtf was ABC thinking?
And in case, for some reason you were not watching, I dunno, any channel on the Comcast/Time Warner cable networks, or were looking @ ‘Pushing Daisies’ (which is what you should be doing if you thought that was important), Here it is in 4 convenient parts below:
I love him.
Whoever orchestrated this is truly a genius.
I wanted to cry when I saw Larry Stewart put that Wal Mart uniform on. He’s 78! Good grief!
This was very well put together, and appealled to large ethinic/racial groups. White woman, Black Family, Latino family, back to more White people.
I gotchya.
I’m also glad that every main issue that he posed a solution to, it was also written on the screen. No confusion. Ya got it? Ya know where he stands now?
I’m watching the speech Barack is giving right now in Missouri… & whoever this camera man is is giving me a headache.
Barack the Vote!

Showdown ’08: I Would Not Want Sarah Palin as the Vice President of the word ‘Potatoe’.
This is feeling eerily reminiscent…
The first & only Vice Presidential debate was last week, and for lack of better words, Sarah Palin completely blew it.
Hooray for Joe Biden!
Shall We?
Gwen Ifill: What Are You Going To Do About The Polarization of Reform in the government?
Sarah Palin: Well Darn it, We gotta send the Maverick, John McCan’t in there, cuz Barack Obama votes with his party 96% of the time! He doesn’t even vote outside of his party! He’s inconsistent!
Gwen Ifill: What are we gong to do about the sub-prime mortgage loan crisis? Do you think predatory lenders are to blame?
Sarah Palin: Hell yeah them Mothaf*ckers is to blame. Joe Six Pack, Hockey Moms, Unite!
Joe Biden: You’re a lying heiffer.
Gwen Ifill: Do You Support Gay Rights?
Sarah Palin: I have one gay friend, & his name is Shawn but likes to be called Sasha, so I guess I tolerate them. I mean I won’t hurl insults but, you know.
Gwen Ifil: So Do Etither Of You Support Gay Marriage?
Joe Biden: Hell no.
Sarah Palin: Ditto.
Sarah Palin: Barack Obama voted against funding for the troops.
Joe Biden: Were you even aware that McCain voted the same way?
Sarah Palin: You know I still don’t know what the Vice President does? I’ve just been reading what they write on my Blackberry.
But in order for this to be even be considered a debate, the questions would have to be answered. Then there would have to be a response by the other party to the appropriately answered question.
Sometimes, if you don’t know the answer to a question, its best to just ignore the question all together. Then you have to state that you don’t wanna answer it, then try to remember what you made up, just in case you ran into this situation.
Sarah Palin: I don’t think we should talk to any government leaders outside the U.S., Even if they do like us.
Joe Biden: Dumbass McCain doesn’t even wanna sit down with our allies dumbass! of SPAINNNNNNNNN
P.S.: Who’s this Aquanetta person they keep talking about?
Sarah Palin: I’m stupid & unqualified. Please Don’t trust or vote for me.
Gwen Ifill: Alright, Shut up we gotta move on.
& That is what I took away from this debate. Its painstakingly clear that Joe Biden won. Tonight, Barack & McCan’t will face off again, & I’m sure there will be a ton of Maverick jokes to share.
And the beat goes on.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
