Barack Obama said we have 57 states. Joe Biden apparently thinks one of them is the state of denial.

How do you explain Joe Biden congratulating himself for the success of the Stimulus Bill while speaking in a state with an unemployment rate of 14%? Did no one tell Biden that Michigan lost more than 160,000 jobs last year?

Despite reality staring him squarely in the eyes, Biden patted himself on the back and told the people of Michigan, “It’s working.”

Then he ran to his foreign-made limousine, jumped in and said, “These stupid buckeyes don’t know how good they’ve got it.”

Yeah, we made up that last paragraph. But you have to admit that it sounds like something Biden would say.
