Biden on the Economy: Things Are Going Well

Ahhh Joe. Even in times of stress, he can provide a little humor. A reporter asked him about the House bailout bill not passing. His answer?

As he exited the hotel for his dinner break, Biden was asked “Senator, can we get your reaction to the House bill not passing?”

Biden interrupted the question with a “Hey folks,” to reporters and then said “Oh, things are going well.”

Apparently Biden misheard:

Biden’s press secretary, David Wade, sent an e-mail minutes later, saying “the senator thought you asked how prep was going” for this week’s debate with Gov. Sarah Palin.

Mr. Wade must send a lot of emails.

Just imagine if Palin has said what he said.
