Vice President Joe Biden apparently did not catch the potential double meaning when he paraphrased a famous Teddy Roosevelt quote on Wednesday when he said 'I promise you, Obama has a big stick.' The audience, mostly comprised of New York University students, immediately got the joke.

Speaking before a group of NYU students on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden praised President Barack Obama's role as a commander-in-chief and touted the president's numerous successes in foreign policy and in the prosecution of anti-terror efforts abroad.
Biden told the audience, invoking a variation on the famous quote by President Teddy Roosevelt, 'I promise you, Obama has a big stick.' But the audience apparently picked up on the statement's inherent double entandre more than the historical reference when they devolved into laughs.
'Now is the time to heed the timeless advice from Teddy Roosevelt,' said Biden. 'Speak softly and carry a big stick. End of quote. I promise you, the president has a big stick.' The audience began to laugh as the Vice President repeated 'I promise you.'

Sending 4,500 Americans to their death must be a joke to you too.
You believe the world didn't notice such monumental f00k up?
A trillion down the drain, 4,500 American deaths, tens of thousands maimed, and how many WMD's were found in Iraq?
ZERO
Yeah. That sure brought dignity and leadership to the USA.

Good Lord, this clown is such a doofus'''.
There is no way Obamba and Joe will be returned in Nov 2012!

The vice president made a gaffe; therefore, Obama's administration is a failure and we ought to completely give up.
Makes sense to me.

''will he dance with Carson Daly?'
'or just do a soft-shoe on the White House steps for reporters? Or maybe flip a bird to the camera? Or struggle with them big words, like 'nuclear'?Biden is one of the most qualified VPs ever to hold the office. Sorry you don't like his middle-class values and everyman appeal that won him 9 terms in the U.S. Senate and experience in knowing much of the government inside and out ' from foreign-realtions to Judiciary to military intelligence. His life story is one of the most inspiring of any politician alive today.
But hey ' haters will hate, I guess. Your type of hate-filled rhetoric has become the expected norm coming from the 'new' GOP.
