"My grandpop used to say — from Scranton — he said, Joey, the guy in Dunmore, the next town over, when the guy in Dunmore is out of work it's an economic slowdown. When your brother in law is out of work it's a recession. When you're out of work it's a depression. It's a depression for millions and millions of Americans."

"A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."




I guess Joe didn't like the last 1/3 of Reagan's line in this situation.

Reagan himself was "stealing" a Harry Truman quote:  "It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose your own."

If I may be so bold as to paraphrase

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job.  A depression is when you lose yours.  And recovery is when Barack Obama loses his.

Seriously, Biden has had a habit of "borrowing" a few things since 1987.  This isn't news.

My good sir, how could you impugn my sterling reputation with such slander?

I am shocked and appalled.

I'm surprised this thread wasn't created back in January when Obama blatantly plagiarized both Bushes, Reagan, Nixon, and Eisenhower with the line "Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans" to open up the State of the Union.

He meant to say:

"Don't ask what you can do for your country, Ask what your country CAN DO FOR YOU!"
