The look on the two guys' faces sure seem to say that Biden is just one of the guys, huh?! He is definitely fitting right in.

One ice tea, one coke and two biker guys who already finished their beer.

Big Joe is in over his head, but he is used to that.

Send the picture to his family and Fox News.

Nice picture, shows plenty of human side... Old Joey better watch out - the guy with the beard is clearly not entirely at ease with all this flirtatiousness... But then again, there is probably a team of secret service guys in the room, just outside the shot... The younger biker looks like a closet Republican....

The caption for this curious photo should be "Your tax dollars at work". If anyone has different suggestions, please post them. Let's see which one carries the day.

This is the President of the United States.
Something is very strange about this campaign

Re: Biden / Biker Photo from the AP (not photoshopped)

I did some digging and came up with this. Apparently the bikers are members of the Shadowmen Motorcycle Club, from Hillsboro, OH, which is about 19 miles from Seaman where the photo was snapped.

Here's an amusing post from Democraptic Underground:

Here is an example of an AP reporter that should be fired

Regarding the Joe Biden / biker photo that was released today ...


Joe Biden buddies up to Ohio bikers
By MATTHEW DALY
Associated Press

-snip-

The woman had no place to sit, so Biden pulled a chair in front of himself and pulled her nearly into his lap. He put his hands on her shoulders and leaned in for a conversation as photographers snapped away.

Now LOOK between the woman's legs ....




See the RED CHAIR?

And the damn back of the woman's chair was BETWEEN Joe Biden and the woman.

Unless Joe were to put the CHAIR on his lap there's NO way he could have 'pulled her onto his lap' !!!

And Joe was NOT that close because the reporter said that Joe had to 'LEAN IN for a conversation with her'

This whole story / issue / event today is really pissing me off due to the way the media is trying to present it to the public!

Edited to add...

Also the meme going around the internet is that the bikers do not like Joe Biden - THAT IS NOT TRUE!

Here's a wonderful photo showing the SMILING bikers with Our VP: [Smithee comment: looks like only SloJo and the guy on his right are smiling. The other two are tolerating him]



Additional info below regarding the guys in the photo...
