"The other horse's end" -- personified.                                                    subscribe via RSS

In a rant to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Convention in Las Vegas last week Joe Biden, predictably, made a blithering idiot of himself for the umpteenth time in his role as primary shill for ill-conceived, faltering Obama administration policies and projects.

"Look at Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Florida, Pennsylvania. Did you ever think in 2011 you would be fighting for the right to work for less again?  What in God's name did any organized labor union do to the collapse of this economy?" the wannabe obfuscator whipped-up the crowd.

Speaking directly to Teamsters Union president James R. Hoffa, Biden said: "Jimmy, your logo is the horse's head. Their logo (the GOP) should be the other horse's end.

The simple answer to Biden's avoidance of the facts is that nearly one in five Americans has no work for which to fight.  At this desperate moment most of the unemployed would be quite happy to be offered jobs with somewhat lower pay and/or fewer benefits than the ones they held prior to the lead-up to the 2008 election when the collective unions overwhelmingly backed Barack Obama and his far-left Democrat-supported government-growing agenda.

Biden's continued assurances that every Obama stimulus has worked as advertised has been discredited as has the nearly universal support by private and public sector unions of those stubbornly selfish government employees' states mentioned by Biden in Las Vegas. 

Furthermore and as it relates specifically to the Teamsters (whose heritage logo was also belittled in the process of Biden's anti-Republican nastiness), as a result of unrealistic Obama administration energy policy, the price of fuel, tires and maintenance products for the trucking industry has skyrocketed, pinching companies' ability to pay shipping costs.  Higher shipping costs have also been a contributing factor for many companies' cessation of US operations and for the closing of others.

Officially acknowledging that non-support of Obama's reelection will mean the end of favored-nation status for the Teamsters, Biden admonished them: "And don't any of you, by the way -- any of you guys -- vote Republican.  I'm not supposed to say this [but] don't come to me if you do! You're on your own, Jack!"

At least the Obamas tried to make their shovel-ready photo ops look real.

Long before the touted effectiveness of "shovel-ready" projects was walked back by his Dear Leader, it was Say-Anything-If-the-Truth-Can't-Be-Told Joe Biden who arrived by limo, dressed to the nines, only to stand on the sidelines and watch as others ceremonially broke ground for a couple of minor road and bridge improvements as he adjusted his cufflinks. 

Of course, if you were to get the story from the horse's mouth it would come out sounding like he works so hard that he can't stay awake past 8PM.  He's been shoveling all right -- shoveling the product of "the other horse's end".
