In Plain Sight

The Gaffmaster, Vice President Joe Biden, is really struggling for friction out on the campaign trail. Recently, his rhetoric has been so far off the mark, Sarah Palin thought he might should be replaced on the ticket with Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani thought he might not have the mental capacity to be President God forbid he should have to. These recent gaffes even have the American Crossroads PAC out with a fresh new ad, which not withstanding the comedy, identifies a very sad situation.

There is no question Joe Biden is not among the critical thinkers of our day, surely is not well read and seems to lack intellectual curiosity, which may be a result of being a lifelong politician.  But is Biden really this idiotic, or is he using distractionary moves complicit in an often utilized Obama administration tool of creating distractions in an effort to conceal the real goings on?

Take a close listen to Biden during his "chains' remark, which set off a major firestorm:



Did you catch what I did? No, it is not that he is talking about the help needed from the crowd in Virginia to help win North Carolina.

Biden described a potential Romney administration would unchain Wall Street, allowing them to write their own rules. One could suggest that this is simply another in a long line of the misrepresentation of the facts, but for team Obama, but that would be masking the truth. After all, it is Obama and the Democrats that are ignoring the rule of law and allowing banks to engage in theft without fear of prosecution.

On the same day Biden was seemingly wrestling with reality, a report surfaced that in aftermath of financial fallout over the bankruptcy of MF Global, formal charges against CEO Jon Corzine and other MF Global executives are not expected. Corzine, the former Governor of New Jersey, Goldman Sachs CEO and high ranking Democrat bungler with strong ties to the Obama administration, is alleged to have commingled account funds with house funds and lost it all betting on European arbitrage.  In other words, he engaged in theft of customer money.

Ann Barnhardt, a former independent introducing brokerage company who shut down her cattle futures business after she deemed integrity in the futures market was lost, has long predicted Corzine would walk away scott free. She was right.

If an enforceable rule of law is not present in our capital markets, which have a major moral component, at the brokerage level, then at some point, perhaps during a crisis, no dollar is safe. It is bad enough that folks in high places like Corzine get away with this type of theft, but to have the administration, who through the likes of Solyndra and numerous examples of crony capitalism has rewarded friends and supporters with tax dollars, run off at the mouth about how it is the Republicans that allow white collar law breakers to escape the grip of the rule of law is farcical and shameful.

While the mainstream media appropriately hammers Biden on his "chains" remark,insensitive at best to our fellow black Americans, nobody seems to have caught the Obama-Biden team in a situation in which they are not simply misrepresenting the truth, but lying to your face about a enforcing the rule of law in an arena that is the center of the financial crisis our country has been languishing in.

Obviously, the Obama administration actions does not match their rhetoric, and the horrendous results that they now fully own are nothing short of abysmal. With nothing to run on or with, you might think they could at least acknowledge some level of truth, but no such luck.

Their lies are right out in front for all of the electorate to see; in plain sight.
