President Obama may need to appoint a Biden Speech Czar just to keep an eye on the vexing Vice President.
Biden was appearing at a town hall meeting in the lovely city of Perrysburg, Ohio. The subject was “the middle class and manufacturing” but the veep veered off into unexplored and unexplained territory.
He blithely informed told the assembled crowd that “the Buick LeSabre is made in Ontario, Canada,” and that “the UAW worker in Canada makes the same wage as the UAW worker in the U.S.”
He was trying to make the point that the Canadian-made LeSebre cost 14% less to build because of that country’s socialist healthcare system.
But as we’ve all learned, Biden just makes crap up as he goes along.
In reality, they haven’t built the LeSabre since 2005. It was actually manufactured in the United States, not Canada. And to complete the Biden trifecta, Canadian Auto Workers split from the UAW and became an independent union way back in 1985.
Overall, it was a fine speech. Other than the everything-he-said-was-wrong part.
