Joe Biden can't remember own website!!

[XCALIDEM]

This is funny! How can you trust this guy to oversee 787 Billion Dollars if he can't remember the name of the website that's supposed to give us |" transperancy"....

Vice President Joe Biden, tasked with overseeing the $787 billion stimulus package, has been having a little trouble with his "numbers."

During an interview on CBS' "Early Show" on Wednesday, Biden told viewers to check out a government-run Web site tracking stimulus spending, but admitted he was embarrassed because he couldn't remember the site's "number."

"You know, I'm embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number?" he asked an aide standing out of view. "I should have it in front of me and I don't. I'm actually embarrassed."
Biden, who seemed to indicate that he thought the Internet worked like a giant telephone, sounded an unusually Luddite note inside an administration often heralded for its mastery of the Web.

Web sites, as much of the "Early Show" audience may have been aware, are generally referred to by their URLs or addresses. The one Biden was searching for was Recovery.gov, which he announced moments later when reminded of the proper address.

Bloggers wondered aloud whether the vice president knew how to use the Web, though some correctly pointed out that Web sites do indeed use a number system, and are identified by their numeric Internet Protocol address.

A spokeswoman for the vice president had not offered comment by the time this article was published.

Biden isn't the first politician to make a serious flub concerning the ways of the Internet -- former Sen. Ted Stevens called it a "series of tubes" in a now-famous address on the floor of the Senate.

But this wasn't even Biden's first error involving the name of the Web site. During a nationally televised address to the U.S. Conference of Mayors on Feb. 20, he directed the assembled leaders to visit the stimulus site -- but sent them to the wrong one.

"We've already set up a Web site, Recovery.com, which will show where and how the money is being spent," he said, apparently unaware that the government has its own domain. Before a government tweak last Friday, Recovery.com directed Web users to a commercial research company.

Well there is nothing like the good ole "series of tubes" rant from former Senator Stevens.

When it concerns Bidens misstep, it took him 5 seconds to remember recovery.gov

Much as the same as me posting the audio about Stevens, you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Except that with Biden, he has so many mole hills, they've formed a mountain!

We're talking about the vice president of the United States!!! The man is a gaffe machine. He never has a clue of what he's talking about...

He is one step away from being the U.S president if something was to happen to Obama. What is he going to say or do: WHICH WAY DO WE GO GEORGE, WHICH WAY DO WE GO?

I remembr that this was the media's big issue about Sarah Palin. "She didn't have experience and she was one step away from being the pressident" How about Biden...?

I can come up with Biden's greatest hits if you want....

XCalidem,
One thing is an absolute for sure when in regards to trying to remember a website, and being VP. I would much rather have a guy it takes a few seconds to remember something, than to have Sarah who cant mention a single news source she reads. There is a notable difference. I hope you can realize it.

Plus he didn't remember, he was told by one of the staffers. behind the scene at the interview. He was looking around and asking and once someone told him, he repeated it.
