Biden: 'Romnesia' is a communicable disease

FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- Joining a chorus of Democratic mockery with puns aimed at GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, Vice President Joe Biden warned a Floridian crowd late Friday that "Romnesia" is a communicable disease that also appears to have been contracted by the Republican's running mate.

"The president has a new term for this sort of ability to change your mind so quickly: He calls it 'Romnesia,'" Biden said, echoing the president's new line from a Virginia appearance earlier today. "Boy, I tell you what, I hope y'all don't get Romnesia. It's a bad disease. It's a bad disease and it is contagious."

The crowd guffawed as Biden mock-explained how the illness has spread to Rep. Paul Ryan as well.

"All of sudden Paul Ryan the budget hawk- the guy that introduced a whole budget that already passed ... the House of Representatives," Biden explained. "All of sudden he doesn't remember it. He doesn't remember it. He doesn't remember what it does to the vital programs that mean so much to working people."

The punnery has been met with eye rolls from many Republicans even as Democrats insist the branding of Romney as an indecisive Don Draper will remind independent voters of their distrust for the former Massachusetts governor.

"The latest rhetoric from President Obama and Vice President Biden tells voters everything they need to know about their campaign," said Romney spokesman Ryan Williams. "While the president and vice president desperately resort to the kind of campaign they once denounced, Mitt Romney is focused on getting Americans back to work and delivering a real economic recovery."

While in Florida, Biden also introduced a new prop for his recently unveiled riff on Romney's position on women's rights.

"On Tuesday when Governor Romney was asked a direct question at the last debate whether or not women deserved equal pay for equal work, what was his answer?" he said, brandishing an actual folio. "Binders! he started talking about binders!"

Discuss this post

It's not just "Lyin Ryan". All the right wing wackos have been infected with "Romnesia". Some how they forgot about the changes GW Bush put us through with his austeries. Bush lied about US into a war in Iraq which had

a) nothing to do with WMDs

BTW: Marie Antoinette never said "let them eat cake." But both Mitt and Bush really do believe that uninsured people merely need to do is show up in an emergency room when they're deathly ill and they'll get fixed up good as new. They don't need regular preventative health care that insured people get, or see a doctor when symptoms first appear.

"The desperation of the GOP to try and find a scandal that sticks to Obama is palpable. They get all excited on little tiny bits of information and they invariable then make the mistake of overplaying their hand. Fast & Furious anyone? They truly stepped into it now with this and it will only remind voters of that craven, I'll advised, partisan press release that Romney put out showing he is not qualified to be Commander in Chief. What a reprehensible little man. So unpatriotic to attack your own President at the very time we are under attack. Disgusting."

#1.16 - Sat Oct 20, 2012 6:01 AM EDT

But now about the Libyan matter itself:

"The Romney campaign may have misfired with its suggestion that statements by President Obama and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice about the Benghazi attack last month weren’t supported by intelligence, according to documents provided by a senior U.S. intelligence official.

“Talking points” prepared by the CIA on Sept. 15, the same day that Rice taped three television appearances, support her description of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate as a reaction to Arab anger about an anti-Muslim video prepared in the United States. According to the CIA account, “The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the U.S. Consulate and subsequently its annex. There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.”

The CIA document went on: “This assessment may change as additional information is collected and analyzed and as currently available information continues to be evaluated.” This may sound like self-protective boilerplate, but it reflects the analysts’ genuine problem interpreting fragments of intercepted conversation, video surveillance and source reports.

The senior intelligence official said the analysts’ judgment was based in part on monitoring of some of the Benghazi attackers, which showed they had been watching the Cairo protests live on television and talking about them before they assaulted the consulate.

“We believe the timing of the attack was influenced by events in Cairo,” the senior official said, reaffirming the Cairo-Benghazi link. He said that judgment is repeated in a new report prepared this week for the House intelligence committee.

Here’s how the senior official described the jumble of events in Benghazi that day: “The attackers were disorganized; some seemed more interested in looting. Some who claimed to have participated joined the attack as it began or after it was under way. There is no evidence of rehearsals, they never got into the safe room . . . never took any hostages, didn’t bring explosives to blow the safe room door, and didn’t use a car bomb to blow the gates.”

The Benghazi flap is the sort of situation that intelligence officers dread: when politicians are demanding hard “yes” or “no” answers but evidence is fragmentary and conflicting. The political debate has focused on whether the attack was spontaneous or planned, but the official said there’s evidence of both, and that different attackers may have had different motives. There’s no dispute, however, that it was “an act of terror,” as Obama described it the next day.

“It was a flash mob with weapons,”is how the senior official described the attackers. The mob included members of the Ansar al-Sharia militia, about four members of al-Qaeda in the Maghreb, and members of the Egypt-based Muhammad Jamal network, along with other unarmed looters.

The official said the only major change he would make now in the CIA’s Sept. 15 talking points would be to drop the word “spontaneous” and substitute “opportunistic.” He explained that there apparently was “some pre-coordination but minimal planning.”

    Sadly there is more to Republican stupidity over Libya.It should be pointed out that Republicans Darrell Issa and Jason Chaffetz investigating Libya,were 2 that voted to deny the money for security for our Embassies (Chaffetz infamously saying "it was a matter of priorities").And are now trying to play politics over the deaths of Americans. After already outing a secret CIA post in Benghazi through their carelessness,now they are doing worse :

    House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) compromised the identities of several Libyans working with the U.S. government and placed their lives in danger when he released reams of State Department communications Friday, according to Obama administration officials.

    Issa posted 166 pages of sensitive but unclassified State Department communications related to Libya on the committee's website afternoon as part of his effort to investigate security failures and expose contradictions in the administration's statements regarding the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi that resulted in the death of Amb. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

    "The American people deserve nothing less than a full explanation from this administration about these events, including why the repeated warnings about a worsening security situation appear to have been ignored by this administration. Americans also deserve a complete explanation about your administration's decision to accelerate a normalized presence in Libya at what now appears to be at the cost of endangering American lives," Issa and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) wrote today in a letter to President Barack Obama.

    But Issa didn't bother to redact the names of Libyan civilians and local leaders mentioned in the cables, and just as with the WikiLeaks dump of State Department cables last year, the administration says that Issa has done damage to U.S. efforts to work with those Libyans and exposed them to physical danger from the very groups that had an interest in attacking the U.S. consulate.

    "Much like WikiLeaks, when you dump a bunch of documents into the ether, there are a lot of unintended consequences," an administration official told The Cable Friday afternoon. "This does damage to the individuals because they are named, danger to security cooperation because these are militias and groups that we work with and that is now well known, and danger to the investigation, because these people could help us down the road."

    One of the cables released by Issa names a woman human rights activist who was leading a campaign against violence and was detained in Benghazi. She expressed fear for her safety to U.S. officials and criticized the Libyan government.

    "This woman is trying to raise an anti-violence campaign on her own and came to the United States for help. She isn't publicly associated with the U.S. in any other way but she's now named in this cable. It's a danger to her life," the administration official said.

    Another cable names a Benghazi port manager who is working with the United States on an infrastructure project.

    "When you're in a situation where Ansar al-Sharia is a risk to Americans, an individual like this guy, who is an innocent civilian who's trying to reopen the port and is doing so in conjunction with Americans, could be at risk now because he's publicly affiliated with America," the official said, referring to the group thought to have led the Benghazi attack.

    One cable names a local militia commander dishing dirt on the inner workings of the Libyan Interior Ministry. Another cable names a militia commander who claims to control a senior official of the Libyan armed forces. Other cables contain details of conversations between third-party governments, such as the British and the Danes, and their private interactions with the U.S., the U.N., and the Libyan governments over security issues.

    "It betrays the trust of people we are trying to maintain contact with on a regular basis, including security officials inside militias and civil society people as well," another administration official toldThe Cable. "It's a serious betrayal of trust for us and it hurts our ability to maintain these contacts going forward. It has the potential to physically endanger these people. They didn't sign up for that. Neither did we."

    One administration official accused Issa of doing harm to the investigation for the sake of creating negative news stories days before the final presidential debate, which will focus on foreign policy. In previous investigations, Issa has acknowledged and respected the need to protect information that could be important to completing the administration's own investigations, the official noted.

    "He's trying to gather all the facts, but he's blurting out all the evidence before the State Department and FBI investigation is done," the official said.

    Frederick Hill, a spokesman for the Oversight Committee, defended the release of the documents in a Friday afternoon interview with The Cable. He said some of the documents had been released by the committee after the Oct. 10 hearing Issa held with State Department officials and the State Department has not directly complained to the committee so far.

    Hill said it was the administration that had endangered lives by failing to put adequate security measures in place before the attack.

    "Certainly there are people who made reckless decisions and put lives in danger in this situation and these people have motivations to discredit efforts to hold them accountable rather than having their true motivations be the security of people on the ground," he said.

    The administration failed to protect sensitive information when it fled the compound during the attack, so its complaints about Issa's release are hypocritical, Hill argued.

    "This is the administration that had all sorts of information sitting around the consulate. Where was their outrage and urgency when all that was happening?" he said.

    Hill discounted the administration's official's assertion that the public outing of U.S. government sources and contacts on the ground in Libya places those people in any danger.

    "None of these folks would seem to be surprising folks to be talking to U.S. officials considering the organizations they represent and the types of activities they were involved in," he said.

    The Cable pointed out that even WikiLeaks had approached the State Department and offered to negotiate retractions of sensitive information before releasing their cables. Hill confirmed that Issa did not grant the State Department that opportunity but said it was the State Department's fault for not releasing the documents when they were first requested.

    "We gave them the opportunity to have them present us with documents and have them tell us at that time what they were concerned about," he said.

    Committee ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings (D-MD) responded to Issa's letter late Thursday, writing that Issa's letter "completely ignores sworn testimony provided to the Committee, recklessly omits contradictory information from the very same documents it quotes, irresponsibly promotes inaccurate information, and makes numerous allegations with no evidence to substantiate them."

    UPDATE: A senior State Department official wrote in to The Cable to contest Hill's assertion the State Department had an opportunity to work with the committee to identity sensitive information in the documents before they were released by Issa.

    "Many of the documents the committee posted weren't provided by State. So there wasn't any discussion about their sensitivity prior to the committee revealing them for all to see," the official said. "Had State been given that opportunity, we'd have taken it and pointed out what documents needed to be handled with extreme care so as not to endanger anyone."

    Vote Democrats Obama/Biden,the only party trying to keep us safe.

    I think Biden is still trying to figure out when we went to war in Iran. Remember he asked "how many of you have known someone who served in Iraq or Iran" and Senator Reid raised his hand. When Biden asked "how many of you know someone who was injured in Iraq or Iran" again Senator Reid raised his hand.

    But my favorite: "Come on man, the middle class has been buried for the last 4 years." My reply would have been "come on Joe tell us what you and Obama has as a plan for the next 4 years?"

      To all of the True Christians that read these threads!

      Have you ever heard the saying “Strange Bedfellows?” What it basically means is, that two opposing groups have joined forces, and become allies. And, this is exactly what has happened in the GOP. You have unsuspecting Christians joining forces with Ayn Rand Worshipers (Atheist), and this is what would be considered as “Strange Bedfellows!” I do not mean to offend Atheist in anyway, because I believe the vast majority are not Rand Worshipers, which I feel are giving Atheists a bad name. And, just to let you know, I’m an Agnostic.

      Have you people even realized that the GOP has been taken over by a bunch of Ayn Rand worshiping sociopaths? And, their philosophy is Objectivism, where selfishness is considered a virtue, and declares god-fearing Christians to be incompatible with reason! Which means, Christians as true believers in God, are incapable of any logical reasoning! I’ll bet you are shocked to find that out? In other words, you are nothing but pawns, and are being used to bring about your own demise!

      They also believe that there are only two kinds of people in the world, creators and parasites! Whereas the creators are made up of businesses, corporations, entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone that is in a certain income bracket. The parasites are anyone who fails to meet the criteria I just mentioned.

      These people have turned lying into an art form, and use manipulation as readily as breathing air. They use wedge issues such as abortion, healthcare, and anything that can distract you from important issues that will cause you to vote against your very own better interests!

      These people are self idolizing sociopaths, and have done everything humanly possible to sabotage our economy, because they have become so entrenched in Ayn Rand’s ideology, and want to bring about nothing more than what Ayn Rand envisioned, a laissez-faire type of capitalism.

      These people are trying their best to destroy a system that brought about the great society that the rest of the world revered and has ever known! And, contrary to these self idolizing sociopaths beliefs, no man is an island unto themselves! They have tried to demonize socialism, but contrary to their beliefs socialism is what built this country and brought about its greatness. Its citizens working together for the common good of all, and just not for the supposed creators! This country did not attain its greatness through self idolizing psychopathic loners. Where their only goal is to create a country of what they consider creators and parasites!

      Wake Up America, before it really is too late!

      Obama/Biden in Nov, because all of your and my offspring deserve better than what the Ayn Rand Worshiping GOP has to offer!

      People are finally realizing the fact that Mitt Romney and the GOP have, indeed, based an enormous amount of their election strategy on lies, and deceit. From the 72 millions Americans without any insurance by 2020 under Romney's plan, to women and minorities being drastically stripped of their equal rights, and the middle class being burdened with much higher taxes while the wealthiest Americans pay less in tax because "it will help inspire job hiring" (which evidence has shown, in the Bush years, does not happen) the truth of what a Romney/Ryan administration would look like is finally coming to light. The facts also remain that the Romney/GOP core platforms have been and still are blatantly racist, homophobic, and anti-woman, and this is an incredible step backward for America. It is not a coincidence that the international press and communities around the world have taken such a strong offense to Romney - it is because they see him for who he really is. He does not reflect what America is all about. We need a President that makes us proud. We need a Commander in Chief that the world can look up to, and as of this point, the right-wing has yet to producer a man or woman who is capable of this.

          Here's the historical background on Social Security and the subversive cynicism of big money and conservatives to be for it before they were against it. They opposed Gov. run SS after about 1965 when they saw how much money was involved and decided they wanted to control thus funds rather than the Treasury.

          I used to be a Democratic Senatorial District Delegate and this trickle up poverty isn't what I signed on for. Obama is no Clinton. What Bill Clinton had Barack Obama couldn't even borrow to get. Clinton had true bi-partisanship; Obama couldn't bribe a vote from legislators, even in the Democratic Senate! We don't need another 4 years of this. We don't need a do-over president; we need a do-er. Obama couldn't make a profit in a lemonade stand; he'd give away all the product and earnings and have too much overhead. I want a real businessman to turn our suffering economy into a surplus economy. I want someone who has proven success, and can demonstrate it in his own life. I want the same opportunities for my kids that my folks had for me, I want my kid to be able to find work when he graduates in four years. That's not going to happen under Obama. Just look at his record. Are college graduates able to find work? No. Obama's gotta go.

          Elect Romney!

            You are so right. The outsource king could give a rats ass if you ever get a good job. For most of his campaign

            you never heard the word "Middle class", The GOP also wants more trade with china. The vote record shows

            all bills blocked by them. One solid wall. No votes for Democratic bills. Mitt is all smoke and mirrors. I wish these inbreds would try to think for themselves. The Ryan tax bill helps all Millionaires become Billionaires.

            Romney on his BEST DAYS cannot keep up with President Obama on Charisma and Style. No matter how you HATERS of the President would like to believe that.

            Those Women who have changed their support to Romney really do HAVE ROMNESIA.

            They can go ahead and shift if they want to Romney at their PERIL on who would be best for them and their daughters for women's issues.

            All I can is those women will have just killed their daughter's futures in this Country as Women being on par with the men in this Country in terms of who really controls their Health Decision and Equal Pay. We even talk about how the Koch Brothers want to Control Education for your Children along with Karl Rove and Other Plutocrats. -

            IT WILL BE Back to the Caveman Days with these Republicans for Women.

            Starting with their New Future NEANDERTHAL, PAUL RYAN. A Man who has sucked on the Government Dole all of his Adult Life, but want to deny Woman, and anyone else any Assistance from the Government even when you have paid into the system and taking care of his Health Care and Retirement.

            Ryan taking FAKE PICTURES IN a HOMELESS SHELTER. How shallow and lying does that picture show. Is that to PROVE Ryan suddenly cares about the 47% NOW!

            Republicans only want to either do one of the following:

            1. Die Early
            2. Put an Aspirin Between your legs as Contraceptive
            3. Your Body has the Ability to Shut Down Rape. A new Super Power for Women
            4. No Equal Pay.

            NOT ONE LAW BY MEN on Penis Control Laws. Can you say VIAGRA and not one discussion on it being paid for by Health Care.

            .Remember you can take an Aspirin between your knees as a Contraceptive.

            You know how to shut down RAPE.

            Romnesia, that’s a good one. Maybe Obama can get a standup gig when he is thrown out of office. Obama is more desperate by the minute, firing up his sophomoric base with Romnesia and appeals to save Big Bird.
            Why such silly behavior at a time when our country is in real trouble….just like Biden laughing like a moron at serious matters in the debate. I doubt Obama will be laughing after the next debate. Will he even show up? It is in Boca, after all, and he has alienated a big part of the Jewish vote. He must be nervous, but I hope he doesn't take too much Valium this ime. By now he should have given up the notion that foreign policy is his strong point (because it certainly isn't domestic policy!) After Obama's failure to secure our embassy and the persistent lies about it being the result of a video, foreign policy is now his Achilles heel. Netanyahu snubs, Islamic appeasement, Dead Ambassadors, Congressional Investigations, Public Deception Campaigns. Ouch! Yes, Romnesia, that’s funny. They should stick to that.

            Mitt Romney’s theme has been consistent and simple: States’ Rights. He has defined the election as a battle between States Rights and Big Federal Government. And he means it. As a Mormon, Romney idolizes States’ Rights. To gain an existential understanding of the cult that produced Mitt Romney, and to get your socks scared off, read The Assassination of Spiro Agnew, available in paperback and e-book at:

            Its unwilling, part-Mexican Mormon assassin dramatizes the Mormon superiority complex, manifesting it as racism, sexism, jingoism and an anti-federal government temperament. His research in the new library reveals ominous similarities between Islam and Mormonism. The spiritual power behind the cult, which is not the Holy Ghost, acts out.

            “With a clarity of language and vision unsurpassed in contemporary American prose, Steven Janiszewski’s Assassination of Spiro Agnew takes us into a U.S. mazed with madness and Mormonism and all things Utah, a U.S. that was then and still is. Readers, welcome to a masterpiece.”.
            Tom Whalen

            Read The Assassination of Spiro Agnew.

            at Politics Aside: reasons for the behavior of everyone on the President's side is because you cannot logically reason with crazies. You see the right wing, GOP mf loving idiots are not only unreasonable, unfair, racist, egotistical, plastic, dummies, they are freaking insane pathological liars that don't have an ounce of honesty in their bones. It is almost if the ones who are equipped with a good mind has to see to it that the idiots don't hurt themselves any further. It has been this way for a very long time, but the minorities never got the credit. Read dated history. However, now in 2012 we have much smarter people because the blindfolds were taken off.

            Also, at Dan, in Austin Texas, I wish Tag would take a swing at the President. Then I would thoroughly enjoy seeing security tackle the mf down to the ground. And, people like "Politics Aside" ask why the silly behavior? MF please! Get over yourselves, get a clue, and freaking stop enabling liars. YOU do know you will go to hell because that is the no. 1 sin. Loosers man! Freaking loosers! PS I would normally apologize for my hurting someone, but it is useless to because I am not sorry if you people that don't have a good mind/soul get it.

            Biden: "I hope y'all don't get Romnesia..."

            Well I hope y'all don't get Obama-rrhea! Symptoms include an urge to release unpleasant and sometimes foul streams of political crap in support of Obama. The largest population affected thus far are the chief political spinners of the Obama campaign and most of the main stream media. There are however, several citizens (and non-citizens) who have been exposed and now are exhibiting the classic signs of Obama-rrhea.

            I understand that the only real cure is a change in political diet!

            Biden says: "I hope y'all don't get Romnesia"

            Well....I hope y'all don't get OBAMA-RRHEA! (it looks as though some here may already have it)

            Symptoms include an urge to release unpleasant and sometimes foul political crap in support of Obama and his policies, and the uncomfortable feeling in your gut that you might just blurt something out at any time whether it's right or wrong, just as long as it is in support of Obama.

            Several people have been confirmed to be afflicted with Obama-rrhea, including the President and Vice-President themselves, all of their political spinners, the mainstream media, and several celebrity sheep who think that they are somehow intelligent enough to now be considered the mouth pieces of "the cause".

            I'm told that the only cure is a change in political diet, and a change in leadership for the country.

            Somehow Romnesia doesn't sound that bad after all....

              O'Blame-a has a problem with amnesia as well. Apparently he sees nothing, knows nothing, remembers nothing. He does however throw people under the bus and takes no responsibiltiy for any of his failings. Libya and Fast and Furious are perfect examples and people died. Perhaps if he showed up for intelligence briefings and other cabinet meetings he might actually have a clue. After all it's his job to know and be responsible it's called being the leader of the country. Oh yeah, he's too busy sitting on the couch at The View.
