Biden Tells Hurricane Victims They've Got A "Homeboy Who Gets It"

Not even two weeks after being re-elected, VP Joe Biden is already back to embarrassing President Obama.

According to reports from The Weekly Standard, while visiting victims of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey Sunday Vice President Joe Biden told them not to worry, saying, “you’ve got a homeboy in the deal who gets it.”

Here are Biden’s remarks, via the pool report:

“If you’re not an Easterner it’s hard to understand that the ocean to us is the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park and everything else combined. It is a gigantic part of not only our economy but who we are. It’s a gigantic part of the culture as well.

And every time the rest of the country is in real trouble, New Jersey and Delaware and New York and Connecticut etcetera we respond, we respond. And it’s going to be a heavy lift. These are difficult times in terms of budgets but the president has made it clear that we are going to do everything we can to make sure that the Corps is fully funded, that FEMA has their needs and that all the programs that exist under the auspices of the federal government not only continue to exist but are funded so that we can make sure that this area of the country is fully fully fully restored.

So as the president said when he was up here with the governor, we’re not going anywhere. We’re not not going anywhere. And you’ve got a homeboy in the deal who gets it.”

There are conflicting opinions over whether Biden was referring to himself as a “homeboy,” or the President Obama.

Biden, think you got some splainin’ to do!

What do y’all think. Was the veep referring to the president in a disrespectful manner or was he talking about himself?
