NYC Letter: Joe On The Job VIII

UPDATE 07.22.09: This goes a way toward explaining the diminished spontaneous assembly for Joe "I'm Humbled" Biden.

OBAMA'S POPULARITY DIPS IN VIRGINIA

Day 179 of CHOPE

What's humbled me, as you walk out, I mean, everywhere I go, crowds spontaneously assemble. ... People stand up and clap. I mean, it's humbled me.

AT J. SARGE, BIDEN DEFENDS STIMULUS PACKAGE

RICHMOND, Virginia July 16, 2009 (RTD) - Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. strongly defended the economic stimulus package today, telling an audience at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College that it has saved the economy.

"I'm absolutely, positively confident we are on the right track," he said of the $787 million package.

Biden addressed a crowd of about 140 community college students and invited guests.

SPONTANEOUS ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
Star Power.

Richmond proper has a population of some 200,000. The greater metropolitan area is estimated to be a million two. Team Barry carried Richmond with 79.85% of the city vote and flipped the traditionally red state with 53.63% overall. Less than 9 months later, Mr. Biden can barely draw an audience on a college campus. [Pause.] Consider the message. Consider the messenger.

At least this beats Wattsburg.

CHOPE.

No growth. No jobs. No money. Right on track.
