"I would tell members of my family -- and I have -- I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now. It's not that it's going to Mexico in a confined aircraft where one person sneezes, that goes all the way through the aircraft," Biden said on NBC's "Today" show. "That's me," he said.
Now Ray LaHood has caught the Biden bug:
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood backtracked from comments advising owners of recalled Toyotas to "stop driving" their cars, saying that he only meant to urge affected customers to take their vehicles into a dealership to get them repaired.
"What I said in there was obviously a misstatement," LaHood told reporters after testifying before a House Appropriations subcommittee on transportation Wednesday.
Then there is President Obama, whose mouth got him in trouble yesterday. He seems to have a problem with Las Vegas:
President Barack Obama is known for having a way with words, but some lawmakers from Nevada wish he would pipe down about trips to Sin City.
After sparking a firestorm of criticism from Nevada's elected officials for suggesting that people saving money for college shouldn't blow it in Las Vegas, Obama told U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a letter that he wasn't saying anything negative about Las Vegas.
It was the second time since taking office that Obama singled out Las Vegas as a potential example of spending excessively.
What's next?
Who's next?
