New Rule- Maher: If Biden’s Gaffe Forced Obama’s Hand On Gay Marriage, ‘Biden Must Make More Gaffes’



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maher-if-bidens-gaffe-forced-obamas-hand-on-gay-marriage-biden-must-make-more-gaffes/


One cannot help but marvel at how the Obama administration’s hand was forced on the gay marriage issue after a “gaffe” from Vice President Joe Biden on Meet the Press this week. Three days after the VP came out in favor of gay marriage, President Obama made his position known to the public. Bill Maher pointed out the interesting turn of events in his final New Rule of the night, saying that if all it takes for President Obama to finally make his position on a hot-button issue known is for Biden to preempt it with his own comments, Biden should be doing this more often. ... -snip- ...


p.s. The video is the final Rule 'rant' of the show

I was wondering what Biden had said or what he had to do with it all...missed the "meet the press" part of the story... and i have to say oi wholeheartedly agree! I hope Biden *can* push this administration more left than it has been, focusing on economic equality and global climate change at the forefront!
