Son of Gaffe-Tastic: Beau Biden, VP Biden’s Son Attacks Romney, But Hits North Carolina Democratic Governor Bev Perdue Instead During Speech in NC

The acorn does not fall far from the tree now does it?

What is it with the Biden men, do they all wear a “G” on their chest? Welcome to son of “Gaffe-Tastic”. Those who attempt to make political insults may want leave such actions to the professionals. In what can only be called, a chip off the old block, Beau Biden, the son of VP Joe Biden, attempted to attack the presumptive GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney by saying, “I’ve never met a successful politician who didn’t run again.”  Umm, oops. The problem being that Beau Biden was speaking at the North Carolina Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson dinner and Democrat North Carolina Governor Perdue had decided against running for re-election this year. Wanna get Away?

Beau Biden scores a 10 on Joe’s Gaff-o-meter

On Saturday evening, Vice President Joe Biden’s son and Delaware attorney general Beau Biden tried to attack presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, but the punch ended up hitting North Carolina’s Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue instead.

“I’ve never met a successful politician who didn’t run again,” Biden said during his keynote address at the North Carolina Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson dinner, in an attempt to attack Romney’s decision against running for re-election after his sole term as Massachusetts’ governor. Biden had characterized that comment as “off script” just before making it.

The crowd “collectively groaned,” according to the Raleigh News and Observer, because Perdue had decided against running for re-election this year.

Perdue’s administration has been plagued with its own scandals and gaffes  — including alleged sexual harassment among staffers at the North Carolina Democratic Party (NCDP) and Perdue’s suggestion that the country “suspend” congressional elections in order to “help this country recover.”

Note to the Democrat insulters … before you mouth off, know the room and know the politician of the state that you are talking in.

Barack Obama Sets Another Milestone … Plays His 100th Round of Golf Since He Took Office … VIDEO of Axelrod Calling GHWB Bush ‘out of touch’ for Playing Golf in Bad Economy

100th round of golf for Barack Obama as President, subtitled … The POTUS Putters and the economy sputters and 15 million out of work Americans mutter.

President Barack Obama has hit they century mark in rounds of gold played as President of the United States. UNREAL. As 15+ million Americans are out of work, 8.2% are unemployed, 13.6% Blacks unemployed, 11.0% Hispanics unemployed, discouraged workers rose as well, swelling to 14.8%, and the US debt continued to rise to a near $15.8 trillion  … the out of touch President who thinks the private sector is doing fine plays yet another round of golf.

Sorry, but there is no way that Obama or his minions can make claims that Romney is out of touch with the American people. How clueless could one president possibly be? As Weasel Zippers says, “Because why should a horrific economy and a bloody war stop him from hitting the links?”

But let’s cut BO some slack, after all fundraising and disregarding the US Constitution is a hard job. What disregard Obama has for Americans who struggle to put food on the table and keep a roof over their head. Since Obama is so good at playing the race card and pitting the wealthy vs. the middle class and the poor … just curious Black, Hispanic and Blue collar America, how many rounds of golf did you play in the last 4 years? Hmm?

Obama has already played golf eight times this year. He actually is a little off his normal pace – perhaps campaigning is intruding on golf. The president golfed 28 times in 2009, 30 times in 2010, and an incredible 34 times in 2011.

Obama’s golfing takes about five hours, including the motorcades back and forth from the fairways. If one thinks of this as taking up  much of the day – include getting ready to go and cooling off afterward – its fair to say that Obama has spent more than three months of his presidency golfing.

UPDATE I: Oh the hypocrisy of the LEFT … from 1994 comes a VIDEO of Obama’s top adviser David Axelrod calling Bush 41 out of touch for playing golf in a bad economy.

Video from 1994 has surfaced of David Axelrod, President Obama’s chief campaign strategist, calling former President George H.W. Bush “out of touch” for “tastelessly” playing golf while trying to convince voters that the economy is improving.

“Bush tastelessly did it, often from the ninth hole, and from the cigar boat and other places,” Axelrod said.

Added the adviser: “The impression you got was that he was out of touch.”

METALLICA Teams Up with FBI and Virginia Police … We Need Your Help to Find the Individual Who Murdered Morgan Harrington (VIDEO)

Metallica lead singer James Hetfield appears in an online video asking the public for help for tips in the death of Morgan Harrington. The 20 year old girl  went missing when she was last seen leaving a Metallica concert on the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville on Oct. 17, 2009. Harrington’s skeletonized body was found three months later in a hayfield on a remote farm in Albemarle County, VA, about 10 miles from the concert venue.

Metallica is helping law enforcement authorities try to find the killer of a Virginia Tech student who disappeared from an October 2009 concert by the heavy metal band in Charlottesville, Va.

As part of an FBI multimedia campaign announced Wednesday, Metallica lead singer James Hetfield appears in an online video appealing to the public for tips in the death of Morgan Harrington.

The FBI claims that it has DNA evidence linking the unknown suspect to a sexual assault in Fairfax, VA  in 2005. The case was of a 26-year-old woman was attacked at night while walking home from a grocery store. The attacker was scared away by a passer-by. The victim got a good look at the man, enabling a Fairfax city police artist to produce an initial sketch of the attacker.

As part of the campaign, enhanced composite sketches of the suspect will appear on bus shelters in Washington, D.C., and on digital billboards there, the cities of Roanoke and Richmond and 23 states along the East Coast. Corinne Geller, a state police spokeswoman, said it is her understanding that Charlottesville does not have digital billboards.

Other components include a website dedicated to the Harrington case, the announcement by Metallica’s Hetfield urging anyone with information about the case to come forward, social media outreach and more.

Roberto Unger, Barack Obama’s Former Harvard Law School Professor Says: “President Obama Must Be Defeated” (Video)

Finally Conservatives and Progressives can agree on something … Obama must be defeated in 2012!!!

WOW, even one of President Barack Obama’s former Harvard Law School professors has turned on the Obamamessiah. Progressive Roberto Unger says, “President Obama must be defeated in the coming election,” and that he has failed to advance the “progressive” cause. Ya think? Obama has been an unmitigated disaster for true progressives/liberals, yet they have followed him in lockstep, making excuses for him and defending Obama at every turn.

One of President Barack Obama’s former professors appears to have turned against him, according to a recent YouTube video.

“President Obama must be defeated in the coming election,” Roberto Unger, a longtime professor at Harvard Law School who taught Obama, said in a video posted on May 22. “He has failed to advance the progressive cause in the United States.”

Unger said that Obama must lose the election in order for “the voice of democratic prophecy to speak once again in American life.”

As stated at Legal Insurrection, check out the 6:00 minute mark for some doozies.It really is interesting to finally hear a true liberal blast Obama. Unger’s comments are what many liberals have angst over the past 3+ years.  I would not be surprised if the Left stays home in 2012 much like the Right did in 2008.

•“His policy is financial confidence and food stamps.”
•“He has spent trillions of dollars to rescue the moneyed interests and left workers and homeowners to their own devices.”
•“He has delivered the politics of democracy to the rule of money.”
•“He has disguised his surrender with an empty appeal to tax justice.”
•“He has reduced justice to charity.”
•“He has subordinated the broadening of economic and educational opportunity to the important but secondary issue of access to health care in the mistaken belief that he would be spared a fight.”
•“He has evoked a politics of handholding, but no one changes the world without a struggle.”
