Some politicians have no shame.
They also make up lies whenever it’s expedient. That makes them pathological liars.
VPOS Joe Biden was in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), India yesterday, July 24, 2013.
Speaking at the Bombay stock exchange, Biden actually claims to be part Indian.
This is an excerpt of his speech (source: WhiteHouse.gov):
“Thank you all for giving me this opportunity. It’s an honor to be back in India and to be here in Mumbai. Off script for a second here, I was reminded — I was elected to the United States Senate when I was a 29-year-old kid back in 1972, and one of the first letters I received and I regret I never followed up on it. Maybe some genealogist in audience can follow up for me, but I received a letter from a gentleman named Biden — Biden, my name — from Mumbai, asserting that we were related. (Laughter.) Seriously. Suggesting that our mutual, great, great, great, something or other worked for the East India Trading Company back in the 1700s and came to Mumbai.
“And so I was thinking about it, if that’s true, I might run here in India for office. (Laughter.) I might be qualified.”
How I wish the VPOS would run for office in India. Instead, all signs are pointing to the 70-year-old Biden quietly prepping for a 2016 White House run, at which time he’ll be 73.
The lure of power must be so compelling that politicians like Biden just never, ever go away or retire . . . .
Update:
(A big h/t to FOTM’s Will & japoa)
This is the same Joe Biden who, in 2006, made an obnoxious racial stereotype while talking to an Indian-American supporter: “”You CANNOT go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent … I’m not joking.”
Here’s the video:

I wonder how many knew about the 7-11 crack Joe Biden made in 09
Thank you, Will & japoa! I didn’t know that.
Thanks to you, I found the video of Biden making that racist crack and updated this post with that very important info! 😀
I heard the comment on Hannity . Don’t remember if it was his radio or t.v.show . Gotta hand it to him though , he really knows how to insert his foot into his oral cavity and bite down real hard !
Thanks for the correction “E” It was 06 not 09!
I just knew it was 0-something 😉
Isn’t Joe blow – hard the one that made the comment ( in his home state I do believe ) about having to speak in an Indian accent whenever you go to a convenience store ?
Power is delicious and politicians love it so !
he is just such an embarassing disgrace.
This pic just made me snort…. or like bugs bunny would say…
What a ma-roon!
Biden is pulling the same BS as Obama when he claimed to be part American Indian a couple years ago.
Didn’t Obama say it was good to be home when he was in Ireland? Is that one of our 57 states?
Too bad he’s not visiting the planet Uranus. 😉
