Is this quote by Joe Biden accurate?

Remember when Joe Biden said, “As soon as he’s elected, Barack Obama is going to piss off his most devoted supporters, and you Obamatards are all just going to have to suck it up”? Was he talking about Hillary Clinton becoming Secretary of State?

http://www.wonkette.com/

Obamatard has a very negative connotation (it sounds like retard). But maybe this is to be expected from someone who graduated almost at the bottom of his class at both universities (you need to belittle others to make yourself feel better).

It also raises the issue, what was he referring to? Hillary as SOS, Obama backtracking on Iraq, or what?

1. Obamatard is a Wonkette word. Perhaps you should realize they were JOKING. NT

2. Well it was in quotes and Biden has been known to say some REALLY stupid things.

But I wasn't sure it it was just her wording which is why I asked the question.

Some "really stupid people" just interpret/spin/skew/embellish/assume/distort what he says and means.

6. Well, it seemed strange which is why I asked the question but Biden is known to be
somewhat of a train-wreck. Anyone that votes for the IWR because they think Bush won't go to war is far from the sharpest tool in the shed.

Beside the obamatard word, is the rest of the quote accurate?

Dumb as hell, no I'll leave that label to the genius Clintonites, Reagainites, and Bushites that have destroyed this country.

5. Oh, so now you're attacking Biden. You really don't trust Obama's judgment, do you? Who's next on
your attack list?

7. No. It isn't real. No more than Borowitz or The Onion quotes are real.

8. I dont remember him saying that. People really have to dig
deep into the media to find some publication that suits their objectives, I would say this is a misquote or taken out of context..I cant imagine Joe Biden saying this.

20. I can't stop laughing that someone
thought Biden used the word 'Obamatard'. For some reason I can't stop giggling, imagining Biden saying that. That would be epic.

Biden would never ever say this. Duh. Good day.

16. Silly you - Wonkette is pure humor.
She's never serious. She takes part of a sentence and then makes stuff up around it.

Go back and read her other posts.
They are hilarious - as is this.
