Atlanta – Vice President Biden today spoke in Atlanta to The Rabbinical Assembly, an international group of more than 1,600 conservative rabbis.

The rabbi introducing him says, with Biden standing behind him to his right: “Were Joe Biden not the Vice President of the United States, but still a senator from the state of Delaware, a position that he held with great distinction for 36 years, it would still be a signal…”
At the mention of how long he served in the Senate, Biden makes the sign of the cross on himself – to laughter and applause from the rabbis in the audience.
The rabbi introducing him is confused. Biden leans in and whispers and explanation as to why everyone’s laughing…
Every time I see that idiot’s name in a headline, I know he did something stupid.
My favorite moment was when he told Senator Chuck Graham to stand up in the crowd.
[Graham is confined to a wheelchair.]
Classic.
Can you believe that he is next in line to be president. It’s unbelievable that he can be so dense.
Poor coaching or understanding how to approach a Jewish clergy
It was meant as humor and everyone in the room clearly got the joke in the moment. In all that is going wrong in this nation from Obama to Romney to the economy to the propagandist media, to the corruption of our democracy and capitalist system…. THIS is worthwhile news? I’m sure the usual imbeciles listening to talk-radio all day will come on and repeat whatever Limbaugh, Beck and Levin had to say… I’m sure it will be good for a laugh too!
honestly i think he is trying to say or hint that he (joey biden) is not friend of the jews and that jews shouldnt count on him to protect them from the arabs/iran because he hates jews as a christian and would be more than happy if the arabs/iran would kill all the jews and he wouldnt give a dam!!!!
story of the Baal Shem Tov is that he fired his new wagon driver because he did not cross when passing the church, his old one did and it showed yirat HAshem
Only Joe Biden could put his foot in his mouth without even opening his mouth!
I have always said that VP Biden is Obama’s best assasination insurance.
I think it was an appropriate gesture give the audience….
“In the name of the father, the son , and the wholey Gaffe”
Everyone in the room understood the humor, except some of the dense readers posting their comments here on VIN
No wonder America, its president its vice-president and whoever else you care to name are the laughing stock of the entire world.
Wake up, America!
It makes sense! He is telling those rabbis that they may as well join his religion, as they have nothing real to show for their’s ANYWAY!
Christians cross themselves in the same way that Jews say B’H. Regardless of politics I respect a G-d fearing man.
Thank God this happened at an event with Conservative rabbis who are not “on the level” to go nuts over this. If Biden did this in frum town, there would be a lot of people taken to Maimonides by Hatzolah for Biden induced heart attacks.
V.p. Joe biden is going to have surgery to have his foot removed from his mouth
What do you expect from the shoiteh that said Pollard would get out of prison over his dead body! This shows the ahavas yisroel of the conservative (bowel) movement inviting and tochas lecking such a low life/ May it be from his mouth to Hashem’s ears and may Jonathan be released from prison very soon(over biden’s dead body)
He like Obama, is an snti-semite. Any Yid that votes for this combination is an idiot.
I object to them being called rabbis!
