Joe Biden, the buffoon we call the Vice President, referring to the Seal Team 6 Osama bin Laden mission stated at a March 19 fundraiser, “you can go back 500 years. You cannot find a more audacious plan. Never knowing for certain. We never had more than a 48 percent probability that he was there.”
I guess the invasion of Normandy, or the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ending WWII in the Pacific, or about a gazillion other plans where the United States acted decisively over our history don't compare.
This guy sticks his foot in his mouth every time he opens it. Truth be told, I will bet that even Obama notices it... Well, that might be a stretch, forget I said that.
A few more Biden gaffes:

suggesting they ride the subway." --Joe Biden, providing handy tips to
protect against the swine flu and freaking us out, "Today Show" interview, April 30, 2009

Inauguration snafu, Washington, D.C., Jan. 21, 2009

mistakenly referring to Justice John Paul Stevens, who swore him in as
vice president, Washington, D.C., Jan. 20, 2009

Ohio, Oct. 15, 2008
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the
television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of
greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened." –Joe Biden, apparently
unaware that FDR wasn't president when the stock market crashed in 1929
and that only experimental TV sets were in use at that time, interview
with Katie Couric, Sept. 22, 2008
"Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." –-Joe Biden, to Missouri state Sen.
Chuck Graham, who is in a wheelchair, Columbia, Missouri, Sept. 12, 2008

storybook, man." –Joe Biden, referring to Barack Obama at the beginning
of the 2008 Democratic primary campaign, Jan. 31, 2007
"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight
Indian accent.... I'm not joking." --Joe Biden, in a private remark to
an Indian-American man caught on C-SPAN, June, 2006
I've written before I think the selection of Biden was INTENTIONAL because Obama's ego is too huge to accept anyone competent. I think he figured Biden's incompetence would make Obama better.
