How ridiculous to compare the 2. Meme, you're getting more desperate by the day.
no, you are desperate.
I was asking a legitimate question?

Again, all that is left when you find that all the actual implementation is given to Earl Devaney and his Board. Biden's job will be to "oversee" it and make sure we get our information.His job is to oversee the implementation of the bill. His job is not to oversee the website.
I recall a reporter asking Presidential Candidate Dole the cost of a gallon of milk, and lo and behold he didn't have a clue. Before that it was Bush 41's reaction to a supermarket scanner. Neither one of these guys would be expected to know what goes on inside of a supermarket- shit my old man never set foot in one either. Yet the Libs carried on for months about these two non-events.Biden has lived practically his entire life in a world without website address's. They only even became important in politics around 2003. May he be sent to hell for misspeaking and saying "number" instead of "website address" to reporters once!
Do you guys honestly think McCain would've done better?
no, you are desperate.

He is a figurehead, Devaney and the board will make the decisions, Biden gets to run around making sure governors are spending it the way they want them to and to make sure we get our information.
I'm not really desperate. I'm extremely content these days, to finally have a competent, intelligent President at the helm.
The comparison is a bad one. Cheney tried to assert powers that the Constitution specifically forbids for a VP, and he was also one of the main architects of the Iraq War (not in itself a breach of VP power, but scary, nonetheless).
Biden is following an Obama directive on this, which is not outside the realm of the VP's role.
The Auditors of a business are not in fact CEOs. And it is the Auditors job to ensure the correct people get the information. Yeah, auditor will be fine. Auditor and overseer of the website. I hope he can remember the number.I'm not going to argue this with you since you seem to have your mind made up, but here's a hint: the auditors of a business don't run the business. And the CEO of a business doesn't oversee its website.
oh really? So President Bush didn't ask Cheney for his help like Obama is asking Biden..you people are friggin nuts..and pathetic![]()
It was okay when he just did what Bush asked.
However, you apparently have forgotten that he asserted that his office was not a part of the executive branch, and therefore was not bound by a Presidential order governing the protection of classified information.
I can link that up, if you'd like.![]()

go right ahead.
putting ole Joe in charge of anything is a joke..sheesh
Devaney is the CEO, the Board is the Board of directors. Biden is the one who has to travel and talk to the Governors.You're misunderstanding me. Devaney and the rest of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board are merely the auditors. You can look it up if you want to.
LOL - it's great to see a hack in full retreat. Here ya go:

Just like the auditors used to come to our stores and talk to the managers. Yup. Auditor and overseer of the website. Also not underfoot.
He's a figurehead.
