WASHINGTON (PNN) - May 8, 2012 - If Vice President Joe Biden continues to make public appearances during this campaign, White House press secretary Jay Carney should be offered a membership in the janitors’ union.

As things stand, the spokesman does not have the supplies necessary to clean up the mess Biden made in his appearance Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press. Biden gave his full support to same-sex marriage - a position conspicuously at odds with the public stance of his boss, illegitimate President Obama, who is widely assumed to share Biden’s views but who says that his own thinking is “evolving”.

The vice president said he is “absolutely comfortable” with same-sex marriage, committing the classic Washington gaffe of accidentally speaking the truth. On Monday, Biden took off for a campaign event in Tennessee, leaving Carney on cleanup duty. But the more Carney swabbed the mess, the more it spread.

CNN’s Jessica Yellin asked whether Obama was trying to “have it both ways before an election” and whether he should “stop dancing around the issue”.

ABC’s Jake Tapper said that “it seems cynical to hide this prior to the election” and that “I don’t want to hear the same talking points 15 times in a row.”

NBC’s Chuck Todd said with a grin, “So help me out here. He opposes bans on (homosexual) marriage, but he doesn’t yet support (homosexual) marriage?”

Carney tried to parry the same-sex-marriage questions, gamely at first and then testily as reporters began to laugh at his answers. He grew uncharacteristically flustered. When an unrelated question came about whether Obama would support the reelection of scandal-plagued Rep. Charlie Rangel (N.Y.), Carney answered, “I mean - well, yes, sure. I just don’t - I haven’t - I haven’t been asked it before so I. . .  The (illegitimate) president - I’ll have to - I’ll have to get back to you.”

Biden hadn’t planned to make news about same-sex marriage or to endorse a position on the issue. However, on Sunday, he referred to the likely Republican presidential nominee as “President Romney” and to his own boss as “President Clinton.” Furthermore, he inadvertently set off a frenzy on same-sex marriage, not because his position was surprising but because it made Obama’s look all the more absurd.

Whatever Obama’s public position, there was little doubt in the briefing room Monday that the illegitimate president supports homosexual marriage and that he would go public with this position after Election Day, when he no longer need fear losing independent voters.
