DES MOINES — Joe Biden said Saturday that he misspoke when he botched a line about poor children and white children while campaigning in Iowa this week, adding that he doubted anyone misunderstood him.“Look, I misspoke,” Biden told reporters at a gun violence forum here. “I meant to say ‘wealthy.’ I’ve said it 15 [times]. On the spot, I explained it. At that very second, I explained it. And so, the fact of the matter is that I don’t think anybody thinks that I meant anything other than what I said I meant.” Biden’s remarks came after the former vice president said during an event in Iowa on Thursday,

Oh, right... just a lil ole slip of the tongue, right Creepy Joe? Just like grabbing the woman's arm was a slip of the hand. R.E.S.P.E.C.T, Joe. It's not just for wealthy white men these days. Try to keep up, will you?

It's bad enough that Uncle Joe had to apologize for his existence before he launched his campaign. Now he has to continually apologize for everything he does. It's pathetic. This is the game the media loves to play, tightening the screws until their victim backs down.
This is also why they hate Trump, because he won't play. He says they are liars, which they are, and points out numerous times the dems have done worse things and the media yawned. It drives them nuts.
The comparison is that Trump has the guts to fight back while Joe, despite his avowed affinity for pushups and slugfests, does not.

If he had said it correctly, I suspect it would have been demonstrably untrue, comparing the entire group of poor kids to the entire group of wealthy kids. Sure, you can find individual poor kids that are very bright. But, if success and wealth have any relation to IQ, which they must, and knowing that IQ has a genetic component, then you would expect to find more high IQ's among the wealthy.

Biden does a lot of "looking" in his diatribes.

The word misspoke is a modern curiosity. It means you said what you meant to say but it's not PC. Requires back pedaling and flop sweat. Sloppy Joe is particularly good at it.

Biden is a blathering idiot, and we are not even close to the real election yet.
If he can't handle the stress of light campaigning, how is he going to stand North Korea and Iran both attacking us on the same day?!?!?!?
Thank God we will never have to find out!!!

Joe, a nice soak in a tub of warm water, a pair of jammies and a glass of warm milk and you will be on your way to a much needed night of blissful sleep. Perhaps Doctor Jill will read you a story. Sweet dreams......dream about winning the White House. That's as close as you are going to get to it, only in your dreams.

As the You Tube sensation Danny Duncan would say "...no, not that..." Joe is a racist, has been a racist and will always be a racist. The supposed flubs are the real thing. Think about every gaffe he has gotten away with over the years. Any Republican would have been run out of town through 24/7 coverage had he grabbed a young girl or what he said about poor kids versus white kids.

Good old Politico. Always ready with the eraser and good explanations for the upper ranks of the dear Democrats. They can't fail even when they want to with the babysitter on duty.

Morons tend to do that a lot-misspeak.
