I'm assuming Biden is referring to the volces inside his head.

quote:

During a virtual town hall event on unemployment and issues facing working families, Joe Biden claimed that people refer to him as a “foreign policy expert.”

The comment came after the former vice president gave a long-winded response to a woman who had just lost her job and asked how laid off union workers can keep the healthcare coverage they had.

“As you and I have talked about this, senator, I’m always talked about as being a foreign policy expert, healthcare is more complicated than foreign policy,” he told Nevada state Sen. Yvanna Cancela, who moderated the event. “Healthcare is complicated. It really is daunting for an awful lot of people.”

But Robert Gates, who served as President Obama's Defense Secretary, described Biden as being quite the opposite.

"I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” he wrote in his book, "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War."

Think about it. He is an expert in getting high paying jobs out of foreigners for his talent deprived son.

Foreign Memory Expert would be more apt cause there's no doubt his memory is foreign to him.

He is actually a foreign language expert. He speaks in ways no one can understand what the hell he is talking about. If we could we would probably call him a lying dog faced pony soldier, Jack.

That was actually the claim when Obama tabbed him for the Vice Presidency. He added "foreign policy gravitas" to the campaign.

He probably thinks he was once U.S. Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Maybe. He's not sure.

Foreign Pork Extraction Expert? Certainly.

Foreign Corruption (as in how to do it, benefit yourself and your family and get away with it) Expert? Absolutely.


Foreign policy? Not so much.

"Wronger" than Obama. That's how bad.

Every day seems like Joe is one Howard Dean moment away from being taken away in a straitjacket.

This was probably said as a joke and he believed it to be true.

I seem to recall that was Obama’s rationale for naming him as VP.

The problem is (who said it now I can’t remember) he has been wrong on every foreign policy recommendation in the last 50 yrs. didn’t he even recommend against killing OBL?

In Addition- his foreign policy achievements in the Obmama administration consisted entirely of selling sold our nation’s interests to China and Ukrainian gas companies and using his idiot crackhead son to launder the proceeds

I mean he did figure out how to funnel millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars through the Ukraine to his son.

That is kind of an expert.

Yeah, but he was smart and acted very Vice-Presidential while doing it, so the sheep were OK with it.

The guy that recommended not killing Osama is a foreign policy expert.


Hell, at this point I'd be surprised if he could find the US on a globe.
