Vice-President Elect Joe-Blow Biden is such a buzzkill.<\/p>\n

Dec. 22 (Bloomberg<\/a>) — Vice President-elect Joe Biden said he is worried about the \u201cexceedingly high expectations\u201d that world leaders have placed on President-elect Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir expectation for Barack\u2019s presidency is overwhelming,\u201d Biden said, according to excerpts from an interview with CNN\u2019s Larry King Live, scheduled to air at 9 p.m. tonight, New York time. \u201cThey are so hungry to have an American leader who they think has a policy that reflects our stated values, as well as one they can talk to.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obama’s three-million-jobs-created goal pulled from thin air this week notwithstanding, it turns out Barack Obama may have somehow, unbeknownst, inadvertently, created expectations for his administration that he may or may not be able to manifest.<\/p>\n

Shocker.<\/p>\n

Newsflash: Some of us never believed anything he said then or now<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I think I know what Joe is saying, at least here at home.\u00a0People will have to pay their own mortgages, work for a living\u00a0and go back to worshiping the incumbent savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.<\/p>\n

Oh – I almost forgot – and\u00a0do their own <\/em>Christmas shopping (despite the sentiment expressed in our recent poll<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Obama can<\/em> still walk on water, as long\u00a0as it’s frozen. Less hopey, less changey. More samey, more lamey.<\/p>\n

Bummer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
