Just another day in the Obamaland, with the man next in-line to be president:

Biden Tells Boston Bombing Survivors, 'It Was Worth It' (Video)

After expressing how impressed he was with the tribute, he said somberly, "let me say to those 'quote survivors,' my God, you have survived and you have soared. It was worth it. I mean this sincerely - just to hear each of you speak. You're truly, truly inspiring."

The audience sat in stunned silence until Biden declared, "I've never heard anything so beautiful than what all of you just said."


What a gifted public speaker Biden is, such a wordsmith. Maybe we can get someone smarter then us to delve into the deeper context of what the hell he meant be saying "quote, survivors", and what "it" and "it" are supposed to represent.

He probably meant it was worth having to go to Boston.

Give the man a break, he has severe Alzheimer's.

He's not responsible for the babble he puts out...

It sounds like he was talking about going up to Boston for this anniversary.

Every time Biden opens his mouth something comes out of it that ends up being a WTF moment

Wording is a bit clumsy, but that's what it sounds like to me too.

"It was worth it. I mean this sincerely - just to hear each of you speak. You're truly, truly inspiring."

It was worth it for him to go to Boston?? How big of him to take time out of his busy schedule to grace everyone with his presence to speak to the "quote survivors".

The fact that everything he says is "a bit clumsy" and people have to figure out "what it sounds like" to them, imagine him as president talking about serious issues with our frenemies?

Like saying that Barack was "clean and articulate". That made him a winner in Barry's world.

One shouldn't have to decipher or explain what a VP said in a speech like this.

With Joe, four words immediately come to mind; Pathetic, Delusional, Unprofessional, and Disassociated.
