Re: Is Biden too touchy feely?

Okay. I respect that as your opinion and that you believe the VP was lying when he said it. And trust that you have evidence for your opinion that they have never been social friends.

I just see things a bit differently.

Where in the name of doG did I say Biden was lying about anything? I didn't. Nowhere. The possible untruths being told in this thread are that Biden is a personal friend of Ash Carter's wife because there is no evidence of that.. And I don't have to show evidence that they "aren't" social friends. You posted a picture of another man - NOT Ash Carter - and his wife, and said that's proof that the Bidens and Carters are social friends. WTF?

Biden did not say anywhere "Ash & his wife are great friends of ours. We have them over for cocktails. We travel to Tahiti together."? He didn't. He said Ash Carter was a "friend". John McCain called Ted Kennedy & John Kerry & every Democrat in Congress "my friend". Did you take that to mean that John McCain was attending barbeques and drinking cocktails with Teresa Heinz Kerry?

Hey bad man. Are Biden and Carters wife "friends"? Yea, don't look like it. IF we were friends that's one thing. But be a stranger and touch her. You are going to the floor. Counting how many teeth you have left.
See, I can be a internet bad boy too.

How did we get from manners and decorum to fistfights?

In my years with my late wife I never once had to come to her aid in such a case, she was more than capable of handling herself when confronted with unwanted touching, if some slob wanted to risk the outcome, they were free to try....

Ask the other guy, he is the one that said he loved to fist fight.

Sorry but the girl was uncomfortable regardless of what her dad said. You can see her shyly pull away from him. 80% of all communications is via body language, and sometimes our body language subconsciously speaks. I'm not saying he was a perv for kissing the 11yo but you can clearly see a cringeworthy moment between the two.

When I was 11, my father's boss didn't try to get chummy with me. If he had, I would have been creeped out. I'm not sure my father would have been thrilled either.

Unless Coons' daughter has known Biden as a family friend for years, it's pretty creepy for Biden to do that. I agree, not as a pedophile or perverted, just creepy, and pretty damn inappropriate.

What does George W Bush have to do with Joe Biden?

They are both high ranking members of the executive branch of our Govt. and they both performed social interactions that may be deemed "improper" ? I asked you if you found Bush's fondling Merkel "creepy" like you did Biden?
 
Re: Is Biden too touchy feely?

I was just listening to an NBC audio clip reporting that she was actually asked about it--I can't imagine doing that as a reporter but oh well--and she said she was neither uncomfortable and didn't think anything about it. Joe is that way with everybody.

Don't get me wrong. I've been aware of and watching Joe Biden since the 1970's and was even a fan until he decided to sell out principle for political expediency. He has in the past been known to be a ladies man and didn't exactly follow the customary rules for Catholic courtship when wooing his wives and his many political and social gaffes are legendary. But he has remained pretty scandal free with no rumors of misconduct except for that plagiarism thing in 2008. He is now 72 years old. I don't think Stephanie Carter was uncomfortable in that scene.

Sometimes I think these woman are being polite when asked about Joe, what else are they really going to say. They are political wives and put their husbands careers first not wanting to make waves, I could be wrong.

I think Biden is a walking HR problem in this day and age, touching woman, getting in their faces is not acceptable...only when it's Joe for some reason.

So why did you whip out a picture of George W. Bush if you wanted to make the OP about "high ranking members of the executive branch of our Govt. performing social interactions that may be deemed 'improper'"?

Why didn't you ask what I thought about Bill Clinton having his penis in Monica Lewinsky's mouth in the Oval Office? Or Marilyn Monroe shaking her breasts at John F. Kennedy while singing "Happy Birthday" like a Las Vegas call girl? Or Anthony Weiner sending nudie pictures of himself to women who weren't his wife?

Focus back to the topic, which is Joe Biden. I'm posting about the topic of Joe Biden and his interaction with the new Defense Secretary's wife at his swearing in ceremony.

No Joe Biden's creepy uncle thing is awesome.
 
Re: Is Biden too touchy feely?

He is like that with men as well. He has no sense of personal space. Makes for poor optics even though there is no ill or sexual intent behind it.
