The Democratic party in a nutshell: asleep and useless.

(Atlantic Wire) — Today, President Obama countered GOP deficit reduction proposals by offering to slash $4 trillion over the next twelve years in a heavily-hyped speech. And, naturally, his right hand man, the Vice President, goes and changes the narrative of the day from “who has a better vision for America’s fiscal future” to the easier to digest headline of “Hey, look, Biden is sleeping while the president drones about an almost incomprehensible amount of money.”

Yep, Biden sure looks like he was asleep. Here’s the ABC news video, screenshot above, of the Vice President nodding off for a solid 30 seconds. As the network noted, the woman behind him looks a little bit drowsy too.

Update: — Nancy makes a good point:

Unfortunately, “asleep and useless” can also describe the Republican leadership. Or maybe “terrified and paralyzed” is a better description. It still amounts to useless.
