Obama smiled only once, while sidestepping a question from Fox’s Major Garrett about Vice President Biden’s comment that he and Obama agreed they had a 30 percent chance of getting an unspecified policy wrong. The president pleaded a faulty memory of the exchange.

—

The way CNN host Wolf Blitzer presented the vice president’s remarks Friday, it looked as though Biden couldn’t have fumbled at a worse time.

…

But, truth be told, he’s innocent.

While discussing the president’s stimulus package with Obama advisor David Axelrod this afternoon, Blitzer played a clip from the vice president’s speech at the House Democrats’ retreat.

“If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, we stand up there and we make really tough decisions, there’s still a 30-percent chance we’re going to get it wrong,” Biden said.

“That’s not very encouraging,” Blitzer said. “A one in three chance that even if the president gets everything he wants, it’s still going to be wrong?”

—Fact is, Blitzer took the comments out of context. The vice president wasn’t talking specifically about the stimulus bill. He was talking about the challenges overall that the country faces.
