Vice President Joe Biden has a lot of respect for college cheerleaders. In fact, he said they are "the best athletes in college" during a campaign stop on Friday.
However, Biden, as he has become famous for doing, made an extremely awkward statement to get his point across while trying to compliment to a group of high school cheerleaders at Newport High School in Newport, N.H.
"He cradled a football under his arm as he spoke" to about 100 students "waiting for him in a semi-circle," the pool report reads, written by The New York Times' Trip Gabriel.
After asking which sports teams were represented in the crowd, "football, soccer, lacrosse and cross-country. Any others? He asked."
"Cheerleaders," a group of girls shouted, the pool report states.
"Guess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,'' Biden told them. "You think, I'm joking, they're almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.''
Unfortunately, no video of the remarks was readily available.
And this nincompoop is second in line. Boy, are we ever in trouble.
LOL. Even with the sexual undertone I'm taking from it, it may be the smartest thing he's ever said.

And that's really sad.
Taking something out of context and trying to spin it? From this OP? I'm shocked!
Cheerleaders get tossed into the air and perform all sorts of gymnastic moves on a hard wood floor.
And Biden is some sort of perv for expressing his amazement because random internet lady reads too much into it.
lol
This group cracks me up.
I have daughters that cheeer so I do know what he was meaning, but I did get a giggle from the way he said it. I didn't take this post as a bashing Biden post, I thought it was just to give us all a chuckle and get away from some of the nastiness here.
