Badass Doughnut Delivery

Joe Biden: Badass Doughnut Carrier



The VP delivered “Boxes of Joe” and donuts to an Obama field office in Orlando on Saturday. “This is what you call interfering with productivity.”


Here's the pool report from Biden's visit:

VPOTUS dropped in on an Obama/Biden campaign field office at 516 East Colonial Ave in Orlando. It was on the second floor, a warren of small rooms with tables of volunteers making phone calls. Lots of signs on the walls: Hispanics for Obama, LGBT for Obama, Women for Obama. Per the campaign, this field office is regional hq for East Central Florida and a hub for reaching out to the growing Hispanic population in the area. It has been open for more than a year.

VPOTUS and his daughter, Ashley Biden, arrived with large brown “Boxes of Joe’’ from Dunkin Donuts. In addition, VPOTUS carried a large white bag of donuts.

As VPOTUS entered, people applauded, and he told the room, “This is what you call interfering with productivity.’’

“We wanted to come to the epicenter of the epicenter, man,’’ he continued. “Florida, you guys produce, we win Florida, we win Florida, this is all history, man . . .

Dunkin' Donuts is partly owned by Bain Capital.
Mr. Vice President just put a penny in Mr. Romney's pocket.

It's also partly owned by The Carlyle Group.
You know... the company that brought us George W. Bush, 9/11 and the Iraq War.
Thanks a lot for patronizing these assholes, Mr. Vice President!

Dairy Queen is owned by Berkshire Hathaway.
That's Warren Buffett's company.

OK, that's a little better, Mr. Vice President...

The worst is Hostess "Donnets". Yes, they are coated with chocolate sugary goodness. But real doughnuts are not candy, no matter what Hostess thinks. (The breakfast cereal companies have been selling candy for decades.)

Real doughnuts are real food.
