Where public policy meets common sense
Posted in Biden, corruption on Sep 10th, 2011
I have been concerned that a “global settlement” on the mortgage fraud issue would undermine the few hard fought gains won in recent legislation. It would leave tens of thousands without justice and do nothing to get the big banks to abide by trade offs of modifications for trillions of federal money (bailout, federal reserve, [...]

…With Bev Perdue, the unpopular governor of North Carolina. Why, President Obama picked V. P. Biden because he complimented the ticket in areas where then Senator Obama lacked. Now President Obama lacks in another area. The left no longer has a crush on Obama. He needs someone who is strong and principled to signal to [...]

Senator Anthony DeLuca must really be able to pull some strings. Attorney General Beau Biden knuckled under to pressure from the DeLuca clan and decided that when he works on his state job and when he works at the Legislature is none of the public’s business. It seems that revealing this bit of information could [...]
These rumors about Joe Biden keep popping up. This despite the fact that Obama has assured Biden that he will be on the ticket. I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t trust the word of Obama. It’s not like there are still detainees at Gitmo. Evidently, One such non believer is former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. Mr. [...]

Joe Biden’s team decided to violate the rights of a reporter for the Orlando Sentinel. The Vice Kidnapper in Chief didn’t want reporter Scott Powers to mingle with the rich hoity toity liberal big buck donors at an Orlando Florida fundraiser for Democrat Senator Nelson. Biden’s staffers locked the reporter in a closet. Remember when [...]

The good folks of Brandywine Hundred last month voted not to name their new elementary school after Delaware’s long-serving and once senior-senator and now vice-president, Joseph R. Biden Jr; instead, opting for the more parochial Hanby Elementary School. Likewise, it’s unusual to name anything after a politician or local hero until, well, they’ve passed. For example, former Senator [...]

This is not a big deal, but imagine if Huckabee, Pawlenty, or Romney did this. If it were Vice President Palin, the media would be calling for impeachment. My point is very simple. Do not let the left wing media tell you what is important or make mountains out of mole hills. Don’t worry Vice [...]
There will be no school named after Joe Biden anytime soon. The Brandywine School District internet voters have picked the name Hanby for their new elementary school. Hanby is the name of a prominent farm family that goes back at least to the 18th century. Joe Biden was one of the choices for naming the school. [...]

Recall then-vice-presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del) pontificating the likeliness of an “international crisis’ that would “test the mettle of this guy” – referring to then-candidate Barack Obama during the campaign of 2008? Since the time Biden uttered those remarks at a Seattle campaign fundraiser event, he’s mostly been right. Who’d a thunk it? Yet, [...]
Does anyone remember just last week where Obama and Gibbs told Hosni Mubarek to get out of town by Friday??? Well Mubarek is still there and there are no signs that the 82 year old dictator is getting out soon. It seems that the disastrous foreign policy team of Obama wants to pretend that what [...]
Now that people are forgetting the socialist musing of Vice President Biden, his soft approval in poll numbers are up. We are in a flash of good feelings except for the despised Nancy Pelosi. People like the tax and stimulus deal which is bringing hope and growth to the economy. The same polling has The [...]
Vice President Biden called the rising unemployment rate of 9.8% “disappointing”. Do you think? With only 29% thinking we are on the right track and mid-40′s approval, a lot of people are disappointed with the entire direction of this government. It is time for a course correction.
So now Joe Biden has graduated from merely being Delaware’s embarassment to our Nation’s embarassment. Other people have noticed. Realistic Democrats are concerned about Obama’s chances in 2012. They are not inspired by a fumbling, bumbling, gaffe prone VP at Obama’s side. Obama is in trouble and concerned Democrats want a change, including Doug Wilder the [...]

As upset by yesterdays actions there were some shining moments that I feel we can not ignore. 212 Representatives voted AGAINST this Health Care “Reform”. 212 Representatives stood firm for their constituents. You can find a link to the list of these men and women here. At this link there is also information for you [...]

Public Policy Polling’s Tom Jensen spoke with DP about the Polling done by PPP in the state of Delaware. Mike Castle seems to holding his own from earlier in the year. While his approval ratings are lower than he is used to seeing, he is better off than many officials in the state. He has [...]

In what is becoming another all too familiar pattern, Delaware’s Department of Justice under the leadership of Delaware’s chief nepotism beneficiary has dropped another murder charge, this being the fourth time this year. In what can only be described as an incredible display of incompetence, the Biden Justice Department quietly released Dominique Earl who had [...]

A week ago, the VP motorcade killed a pedestrian. Today had an unfortunate incident of a police officer being injured by a crazy driver who drove past two police blockades. The injured police Sargent was part of the VP motorcade. I think they need to let the man take the train again. To be serious [...]

The Army Corps of Engineers is planning to defy the state of Delaware and start dredging the River. The list of liberals who have all of a sudden discovered the 10th amendment and state’s rights is long. So is my enjoyment at watching them scramble. For the record, I hope they win. Whatever the merits [...]
Vice President Biden must have scaled back his dreams. He says the economic stimulus package worked beyond his wildest dreams. I guess the 15 million Americans without work have bigger dreams like paying the bills and keeping a roof over their head. The VP does not need to worry. He has a 4 year contract [...]
Here is the long of it assuming you wish to punish yourself with it. The short of it is the VP is happy with the stimulus. It is now working better than he thought. I know that contradicts early remarks where it worked worse, but you can read page after page in his own words [...]

Remember back when presidential candidate Barack Obama said this: When there are meetings between lobbyists and a government agency, we won’t be going to the Supreme Court to keep it secret like Dick Cheney and his energy task force, we’ll be putting them up on the Internet for every American to watch. Well, apparently that’s [...]
Confidence in the economic policies of the administration is at its low 42%, but maybe not its bottom. Vice President Biden actually seemed refreshing when he said on a Sunday show that the economy was worse than they thought. What is my problem with the statement? It seems to contradict the President’s statement on Jan. [...]
