That's how Obama introduced him today. The next President ...errr, I mean Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden.

You seem concerned. Has that been an issue for you in the past, Klarissa? If so, please outline all the reasons why it was bad for the Presidency, the Vice Presidency, and the country. Thanks. I always enjoy your comments, Klarissa and I'm sure I speak for many others here.

That question is now invalid along with all other thought processes. Biden has declared this to be Barack America. They own us now.

At least we know why Obama had a problem saying the Pledge of Allegiance to himself or wearing his own lapel flag. Who knew he was just being humble? -

Are we going to allow ourselves to be duped again? Wake up call, folks.

Have faith. None of those who are now warning us that the end of the world is near seemed particularly concerned about this during the last two elections and I'm pretty sure Obama and Biden will do a fantastic job. Be positive. ;-)

While I still believe that the USA isn't ready for a black President,- I also believe that with Joe Biden the USA will get a wise Vice-President.

So in the case that a couple of bad guys will shot Obama the USA still will be under good lead I think.-

The fact that Biden is highly respected on both sides of the aisle will be difficult for the republicans to overcome. Too many of the solid, longterm republican senators have previously gone on record praising Biden for his integrity and ability to work in a bipartisan manner for them to now try and paint him as anything but. I think it was an ingenious choice for Obama to pick Biden. Not only is he qualified, but he fills the gap the republicans have tried to exploit in Obama's foreign policy experience. It proves him to be someone willing to recognize his shortcomings in favor of the greater good, instead of being the "elitist" the republicans have tried so hard to label him as. And Joe Biden won't hold back when its necessary to face down the republican slime machine that is already beginning to churn out the hate and lies. If they lose, it won't be because they were too weak or afraid to confront an issue like Kerry was when he was swift boated and called a coward by the deserter who defeated him. THAT history won't be repeated against this particular ticket. He's a great choice when you think about it, and the next few months should prove to be very exciting because of it.

I agree that he's a strategic choice for the Obama ticket, given Obama's worldview and the need to reach out to old white men. He's on the wrong side of quite a few issues for me, personally, however, and he acts like an irritated terrier, so he's not *my* best choice for the Obama ticket. He's a dealbreaker. We can hope that, if they are elected, they'll end up with a House or Senate of the opposite party (or Libertarians, Independents, etc.) that will clip their wings.

It doesn't matter to me who Obama picked as his running mate. Biden is as good as any and not as bad as Gore or Kerry. I just wonder what bounce O is expecting from a candidate who polled less than 10 thousand votes in the 3 or 4 states whose primaries he entered before dripping out. By comparison, Hillary--with over 18 million votes--was not even considered.
Reply
Obama was in a lose-lose situation in the sense that Hillary was at once the best and worst running mate Obama could have. C`est la vie. The die is cast.-

--A fellow probability and statistics buff...I like you already, Georgia. ;-) So, tell me... did you "wonder" throughout the campaign season how the least conservative Republican in the field (well, let's be honest, he's a liberal, right?) managed to secure the GOP nomination--after his campaign flatlined at one point last year? Talk about long odds...how the hizzell did "McAmnesty" make *that* happen, Georgia? Crazy, huh? It's like the GOP electorate just said "to heck with polls" McCain is the least sleazy of the bunch, we'll go with him. Oops... You know, Georgia, I got my knuckles rapped for using that word to describe a certain pesky prolific propeller participant who I find to be an AnnoyingGnat yesterday--I won't mention this AnnoyingGnat's actual Propeller identity name but she really IS an AnnoyingGnat, I kid you not...so I better be careful. But I digress...
Anyhoo, Georgia, I hope you're not an AnnoyingGnat because I really like insects. But I can't stand an AnnoyingGnat. My tolerance for bugs has limits...

I think the fact that she got the popular vote may have had something to do with it. Biden wasn't even in the competition, so he's no threat. If they win, even if they tank, we can always replace them in 4 years if people pay attention.

Seems to me the article leaves out the most positive thing about Biden. It gives Obama someone who can run interference on the Hill and get things done behind the scenes. Biden can put polish on Obama's initiatives by intuitively knowing how to apply give-and-take to both parties and both houses. Nobody doesn't like Biden, even if they disagree with him. And Joe gets a shot at the White House.. He`ll just be Biden his time for 8 years.

From one of the youngest Senators ever elected to the oldest President ever elected (if he runs he'll haver recently turned 74 when he takes the oath of office). Seems appropriate. And I also just realized that if McCain is elected, he'll be only the second divorced President (the late Ronald Reagan currently holds that distinction).

JFK had the best at doing that and treated Johnson like a buffoon. When Johnson was president there would be a news story saying that a bill was being bogged down in congress. Then there would be a story about a group of congressmen going to the White House. Later there would be a story about the bill passing congress and going to the president.

Will Obama treat Biden like JFK treated Johnson or not.

It is a documented fact that former democratic president Bill Clinton has a severe personality disorder i.e. he is insane. I have talked with some of republican president George Bush's grade school teachers, the consensus was that he didn't burn one of the brightest bulbs in the class i.e. he is stupid. In my opinion these men represent the difference between the two parties, the republicans are stupid and the democrats are insane. The insane democrats nominated a man that cannot win the election, I think I will be insane this year and vote for the democratic candidate.

Obama is filled with bs! He chooses not to "raise the status" of his brother living in a hut earning 20 dollars a month but we should believe he wants to help tens of millions of Americans!-

Biden is/was a lawyer with no talent, so he went to the bastion of “no talent” - the senate. Now his son Hunter, is a lawyer who is a lobbyist - thereby demonstrating phase one of “no talent”. From what I hear, the senate (the final “no talent” phase) cannot be far in the future.
Reply
But the main reason Obama picked Biden is because; Joe Biden represents a state the size of “a large farm”. He has ZERO national appeal. Fits the DNC MO quite nicely. -

The story I read said that he earned about $1 a month. Keep in mind that his father had been a well to do man with a government job until his death in 1982. He now wants to go to school and better himself. Will Obama stretch out a helping hand now that the whole world knows about him?

He does. You're confused (and quite possibly disturbed as well...but I'm not sure of this, so I won't speculate. That would be libelous. And that's not my style. But can I ask something? Thanks. You've been institutionalized before, haven't you? I just thought I'd ask...

Biden is a great pick....He's a scrapper who's not afraid to street fight with whatever bs the Right wants to throw at him.

He's likable and articulate and should be great in the debates.
It's hilarious how the Right is now saying this choice only highlights Obama's weaknesses.
Where were they when Dumya picked "Big ****" Cheney??? -

Biden is consistent with Obama's stated opinion that he wanted someone who would speak their mind and wasn't a yes man. I was thinking, before the selection, that if Obama choses Biden, he will be unbeatable.
Reply
I have a funny feeling that if Obama hadn't chosen Biden the same people who are shouting, 'mistake, mistake' now, would have been yelling about how Obama had passed up such a perfect vice presidential candidate as Biden. Yeah, that's right, I'm saying that many of the people who post here aren't sincere. -
