Rush Limbaugh called Biden a “dunce”. I agree.

BARNEY FRANK KNEW…. CHRIS DODD DID TOO…. TURK182

Joe Biden could only improve in stature as well as Obama if they were more like them. At least we would be aware of the record of truth, even if we didn’t agree with it in hindsight. Dick Cheney however is a 100% stand up guy. And he is no wimp.

How anything that gafmeister Joe says can be taken seriously is beyond me. “Stand up Chuck, let ‘em see ya.” How about that 3 letter word J-O-B-S. Or better yet FDR adressing America as President on TV. There are too many to list. Joe is the GOP’s greatest asset. Keep on talking Joe, you da man.

if it sounds like a socialist
walks like a socialist
pals around with socialist/terrorist/anarchist/marxist
it can’t be good for the country!!!

It’s comforting to know that Biden will just sit back and do nothing as a vice president. At least that will get his lame-duck self out of the voting field of the Senate and open it up to someone with more youth and ambition. Senators need term limits… something far less than SIX.

The only person I know who can put both feet in his mouth at the same time… Dunce, correct — He is the one who got the duties of VP wrong along with 13 other incorrect statment of what he thought was fact… Go John & Sarah

Dunce is correct… This guy did not even know what the duties of VP were, Sarah did… He also had 13 other mis-steps in their debate… Go John & Sarah

Oversees - runs - words used as synonyms all the time! No mention of Joe’s inaccurate discription of the roll of VP during the debate in this article?

Yep, a “dunce”. Sarah Palin has more executive experience than a Biden or an Obama. Unless I’m mistaken, “Gaff” Biden didn’t know what the VP did originally either.

Biden looks quite nasty in the picture — maybe he’s just getting old and grumpy, or can’t handle those late-night rallies. McCain/Palin ‘08

B.O. is an Ivy League crack head and Biden is a fool!!!

Dick Cheney! Superior to Biden! In every way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No contest here!

Top quote Al Franken, Rush Limbaugh is the ultimate big fat idiot.

Didn’t Biden make the same mistake about the Senate in the debate with Palin?

John McCain Made A Blunder?
Is She REALLY Unfit for VP?
Why Should Sarah Palin Be Taken Seriously?

Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard

Question: Who is the Commander in Chief of the 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard?

Question: What U.S. governor is routinely briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counter terrorism?
Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

Question: What U.S. governor has a higher classified security rating than either candidate of the Democratic party?
Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

The fact that the media has spent so much time scrutinizing every little thing that Gov. Palin has done and said since she was first announced at Sen. McCain’s running mate means that they and the Obama campaign are running scared! Unfortunately the financial crisis has dominated the headlines and put Obama out in front in the polls. Remember, Obama and Biden have done absolutely NOTHING to get this advantage. Before the financial crisis McCain and Palin were ahead in this race. The media ignores Biden because they know he is a gaffe machine and simply will not cover anything this man says because they want Obama to win this election. The fact that the media is still hyperventilating over Gov. Palin means that she is a woman to be reckoned with now and in the future of American politics.

Biden is a joke. The media knows this which explains why they ignore this man completely. Obama got no poll bounce when he announced Biden as his running mate. McCain, on the other hand, did get a bounce with the selection of Palin. The media went nuts on this woman because they saw her appeal and her successful record as Governor of Alaska. Obama and Biden have only benifited from the financial crisis. They have done absolutely NOTHING to turn the polls in their favor. People need to realize this. Obama, Biden and other liberal Democrats are responsible for the current financial crisis. Americans need to wake up!

Mccain understood it wrong that winning ticket is Joe, he went picked up wrong Joe and wrong runningmate, Obama/Biden 2008 good future for the country.

Senator Biden appears to be ranting and raving more each day…. He even looks out of control. Could he be ill? Perhaps that would explain so many errors in his memory and speech delivery. It is incredible that he thought, and actually said to Katie Curic, that FDR turned on the TV and addressed the American people regarding the first stock market crash…… ( FDR wasn’t president and there were no televisions in homes). Am still wondering why the media paid so little attention to those remarks. It is frightening to think that he would be a ‘heartbeat’ away from the presidency if Obama is elected. Govenor Palin has definitely proven to be the more ready, capable, and intelligent VP candidate……

I have to admit, Biden really did add some humor to this election. Stand up Chuck! Stand up! Let them see ya. Oh my God, what am I saying? They should put his speeches on pay per view to raise extra money for the GOP.

Um…in response to the above.

Sarah Palin has been given four seperate opportunities in the public media to explain the duties of the VP. She has been incorrect each time. In fact, she’s had the same answer each time, which shows that not only was she wrong, she didn’t bother to correct herself.

Two, for the rest of Joe Biden’s speech today, he spoke of this being the time for all Americans, Democrats, Republicans, and Independants, to stand together. He spoke about the end of divisive politics. He gave specific examples of the policy changes he and Obama are intending to push forward. He asked us to believe that we, as a country, could stand back up and overcome the impending economic and international crisis.

McCain spent his speech asking us all to believe in Joe the Plumber, a story that has been proven to be a fabrication. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he asked us to follow an example of a man who works for himself, and expects nothing more than what he can do for himself. I respect that. However, I do not believe it is ’socialism’ to suggest that taxes should be more evenly distributed. Currently, the middle and lower class are paying 90% of all taxes. Under Obama’s plan, perhaps people who own their own business and are doing well for themselves, making over $250,000 a year, will have higher taxes. To you this may seem unfair. If I were making this amount of money, I would hope someone would remind me of what those tax dollars do. They support education, the military, public services like EMS and the police, as well as the government. It is unpatriotic to support those institutions? It is unpatriotic to pay the military, the teachers, the cops, the paramedics? We have a massive debt to pay. How else are we going to pay it back? Have we forgotten that even after a redistribution of taxation, the middle and lower class will still be paying taxes? I make below the poverty line, and I pay a third of my income to the government. My family is also employed by the state. My father is a teacher, my step-mom is a nurse. I find paying my taxes to be a civic duty, a responsibility to care for the community above myself, and I see the benefits of it every day. For all the Joe the Plumbers out there making a quarter of a million dollars a year, I think you could spare a bit too. Do all of the employees of small businesses make that much money? Doubtful. I would like McCain to explain to me why the rich get to stay rich, while the poor keep paying the bill. I would also love to hear some specifics about just what he intends to do if elected. Surely attacking Obama will lose it’s appeal come January, and then where will he be?

Vote for the person who makes sense. Some of us may pay a little more. Some of us may get to save a little more. A tax cut is not going to make the poor rich. A tax hike is not going to make the rich poor. We will all benefit, however, when the country pays off its debt, ends the wars, and begins to focus on using our money to improve our country. We cannot be selfish any longer, we must begin thinking of society as a whole and seeing ourselves as a part of it. Maybe then we’ll make some progress.

Why hasn’t Biden made himself available to the media? Hmmm DOUBLE STANDARD!! Biden’s previous health issues - downplayed by the media, Biden’s view of Obama in the Primary Season - downplayed by the media, Biden’s talk of there being an international incident - downplayed by the media. I think the people voting for Obama-Biden are drinking some kind of koolaid, but what makes it worse is that the media has a KoolAid Stand set up and are selling it!

What a bunch of dummies. The person said: Currently, the middle and lower class are paying 90% of all taxes. No, 40% of people in this country pay no taxes and the top 20 % of income earners pay 90 % of the tax collected. Some people are too dumb to vote !

Obama and Biden’s brain farts are stinking up America!!! Your Done!!! Mccain/08

The Neocon ticket is doomed because of Palin. Peggy Noonan characterizes Palin perfectly:

[W]e have seen Mrs. Palin on the national stage for seven weeks now, and there is little sign that she has the tools, the equipment, the knowledge or the philosophical grounding one hopes for, and expects, in a holder of high office. She is a person of great ambition, but the question remains: What is the purpose of the ambition? She wants to rise, but what for? For seven weeks I’ve listened to her, trying to understand if she is Bushian or Reaganite … But it’s unclear whether she is Bushian or Reaganite. She doesn’t think aloud. She just . . . says things.

Her supporters accuse her critics of snobbery: Maybe she’s not a big “egghead” but she has brilliant instincts and inner toughness. But what instincts? “I’m Joe Six-Pack”? She does not speak seriously but attempts to excite sensation—”palling around with terrorists.” If the Ayers case is a serious issue, treat it seriously. She is not as thoughtful or persuasive as Joe the Plumber, who in an extended cable interview Thursday made a better case for the Republican ticket than the Republican ticket has made. In the past two weeks she has spent her time throwing out tinny lines to crowds she doesn’t, really, understand. This is not a leader, this is a follower, and she follows what she imagines is the base, which is in fact a vast and broken-hearted thing whose pain she cannot, actually, imagine. She could reinspire and reinspirit; she chooses merely to excite. She doesn’t seem to understand the implications of her own thoughts.

No news conferences? Interviews now only with friendly journalists? You can’t be president or vice president and govern in that style, as a sequestered figure. This has been Mr. Bush’s style the past few years, and see where it got us. You must address America in its entirety, not as a sliver or a series of slivers but as a full and whole entity, a great nation trying to hold together. When you don’t, when you play only to your little piece, you contribute to its fracturing.

In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics. It’s no good, not for conservatism and not for the country. And yes, it is a mark against John McCain, against his judgment and idealism.

Palin thinks the VP runs the senate??????????!!!!!
How could she think this??
Wow, I can’t believe I’m saying this but that is possibly the stupidest comment ever made by a politician (which says a lot)

Don’t be too hard on old Joe Biden. He is helping John and Sarah. Just recently he stated that obama would not be capable of handling huge International problems that will come up if the Batrack is elected. I wil be the first in our voting booth to vote for John and Sarah.

Do any of you people actually read the news beyond FOX? Why isn’t Biden available to the media? Ahh…. go ahead and do a little google work and you’ll see he’s done many, many interviews.

You guys need to travel outside the USA for a week, read some newspapers, hear people talk. Do you ever leave the 7-11 or liquor stores? Joe Six Pack. Really.

When was intelligence and sage judgment a bad thing?

Sad.

Am sure most fox news contributors lean republican. Can you guys find out why Sarah Palin does not hold press conferences and interviews. Even John Maccain doesnt hold news/press conferences on his policy proposal. But you see Obama, whenever he meet with his foreign policy team or ecomic advisors, he hold press conferences and answers tough question. This shows his intellectual ability. The Repub ticket are afraid of doing same so they dont make mistakes.

Please I beg to be corrected on this

show my comment

Is Obama going to visit Grannie before or after his court appearence ??????

I can’t take anything this guy says to heart - although his comment the other day about Obama being tested is the only thing I do agree with him on - I mentioned that several months ago - I think Joe Biden should be tested for memory loss issues - Altzheimers - he obviously has some real problems

I love reading Fox News! Buffoon city.

“but GOP VP nominee Sarah Palin has also overstated the role of the Vice President in recent days, telling a group of young students that the VP “runs the senate.”
Technically JYow and Donah…she is correct. The Vice-President of the United States is known as the Presiding Officer of the Senate; also known as the President of the Senate. Granted, we hardly ever see ANY V-P’s go to the Senate for ANY reason other than to break a tie in voting, which is his/her job. BUT, it doesn’t mean that they can’t. Now if want to get into semantics as far as her choice of words, please don’t. I can give literally DOZENS of examples of Sen. Biden running at the mouth, not the LEAST of which is his totally incorrect interpretation of Articles 1 & 2 of the U.S. Constitution. Yet…no one calls him on the carpet for it. I would think that a guy who has been in Congress for 35 yrs. would know the difference between the Articles of the U.S. Constitution and what each represents/states…guess not. And no one cares…yet if Gov. Palin made such a comment, she would be torn apart. Why? Because she is a woman? Or because she is a Conservative/Republcan? Or both (Conservative woman)? People question her intelligence but yet Sen. Biden can go on and claim that FDR was President during the Great Depression and went on TV to talk to the American people…TWO mistakes in ONE comment!!! And no one cares…

Hey Abroad… Stay Abroad… I mean really… Some people think that they are the ones to spout out wisdom to the rednecks and others of us who cling to our guns and religion… are the ones that must be held accountable to what politicians do, say and do not say… I have a news flash for you… the Democrats have not been challenged half as much as the republicains and yet we still don’t know the ‘real’ Obama… Was he born in Hawaii or not?… no b-cert?… was he a radical?… he hangs with some … Ayers?… Wright?… Was he a regular politician in Chicago… mob ties?… His neighbors in his up-scale neighborhood… Ayers… Lois F… What about questions about this man’s past?… Is he really the untouchable… The nuts on CNN are still counting the ways that he will win this election… What people are they using in their polls?… I have not spoken to one person who is able to defend Obama… and not one who does not eventually accuse me of being a racist when the questions about this in-experienced eleitist lawyer get to be too much for their simple minds to counter… We need answers if this man is going to hold the top position of the most poerful country in the wold… Where are your questions for Obama???

President of the Senate
Main article: President of the Senate
As President of the Senate (Article I, Section 3), the vice president oversees procedural matters and may cast a tie-breaking vote. There is a strong convention within the U.S. Senate that the vice president not use his or her position as President of the Senate to influence the passage of legislation or act in a partisan manner, except in the case of breaking tie votes. As President of the Senate, John Adams cast twenty-nine tie-breaking votes—a record that no successor except for John C. Calhoun ever threatened. His votes protected the president’s sole authority over the removal of appointees, influenced the location of the national capital, and prevented war with Great Britain. On at least one occasion he persuaded senators to vote against legislation that he opposed, and he frequently lectured the Senate on procedural and policy matters. Adams’ political views and his active role in the Senate made him a natural target for critics of the Washington administration. Toward the end of his first term, as a result of a threatened resolution that would have silenced him except for procedural and policy matters, he began to exercise more restraint in the hope of realizing the goal shared by many of his successors: election in his own right as president of the United States of America.

to Johnathon Kennedy: LOL!!!! You summed up the WHOLE DEMOCRATIC TICKET IN ONE SENTENCE! KOODOS TO YOU!!!

Time For A Real Hero America!
John McCain!!!!!!!!!

I read where Joe Biden is not Dick Cheney or Palin , We are glad Joe has never shot anyone and he is not as stupid like Palin.
McCain stick to the issuses and stop crying , Palin go back to Alaska so you can see Russis from your house. The type of politics that you playing is negative and we don’t need anyone in the White House as dumb as you

More like Stalin than Bush.

Bud I am thinking right after he locates that umm birth certificate right?

Joe bBiden never shot anyone and never been involved troopergate

Joe is correct, he is more like Gomer Pyle.

for Kris…see my comment above! The Vice President oversees the Senate!!! Get you facts straight.

I really don’t think we need to disect what the VP does exactly. I think we need to focus more on the role of the President. We literally have a guy walking in off the street who can potentially lead this Country. I mean really now do you Obama Supporters think anyone of you could just walk in off the street without any questions asked and take on the highest office in the United States? So what makes all of you think that everyone in the US shares your views of how high and mighty this guy is. Sorry but a few of us, at least half the Country take this role a littel more seriously and its NOT going to be given to just anyone. Least of all a guy who has more questionable ties than Jimmy Hoffa. Why would his own State newspapers not bak their own Senator? What do they know that is not being shared?

Maybe now is the time that uneducated people get educated and read the constitution before voting. You can use the computer for more than blogging, there is a vast amount of TRUE information out on the WEB.

http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst.html

Kris its because Palin is not the holier than thou Hillary Clinton! As far as I am concerned Hillary lost alot of my respect (Yes I am a Republican) but she lost my respect when she took everything she stood for on what could be classified as a fierce battle to become the Democratic nominee and than basically said oh i was just kidding Obama is the one I back him 100%! I felt Hillary cared about this Country at least up until she endorsed Obama for the sake of the “TICKET”. I mean really people back your candidate because you share the same ideology and the same views. Back your candidate because you trust him to act on your behalf (For the people and by the people!) But people don’t back him simply because he is black or because he comes across with vitality. Where is that vitality when it comes to a time of crisis? Vitality means nothing. Its the actions. Its the reponse to the crisis. I do believe John McCain loves this Country more than anything and if for nothing else that ONE Quality takes presidence over a great speech and charisma! Charisma equals BS artist as far as I am concerned.

Terry ,I fully agree with you.I am a first generation American and not only love this country but defend it all the time at home and abroad.The mesage I am hearing at home or abroad is the same.Hate for America.If it wouldn’t be for internet one would think that republicans are thirsty blood suckers starving our children and retairees.Last 10 years all what I am listening is how is Bush missmanaging our economy.The democrats are in pover for the last 2 years.When they were in minority all what they did was obstructing all proposals made by republicans.If the people will look into the facts it was democratic party in power to protect FMand FM,it was democratic party responsible for Saving &loan crises and responsible for NASDAQ meltdown and I can go on and on.But the press at home and abroad is not only distorting the facts but outright lies.
I am not surprise that people are fed up with our government and the media has their own agenda.What are the democratic ideas.Beside taking more money from everybody and socialize
large part of our economy there is no agenda.After another 8 years in power I am sure that the republicans will be back to sort out all screw ups.I have one advice for obama.Redistribute the brain,but he knows wery well that it would be the end of democratic party.

McCain would be more accurate to compare Obama to Jimmy Carter (whom I actually voted for as a 20 something democrat). Biden could laugh that one off too, but, assuming Obama is elected, no one will be laughing at that comparison in a couple of years when economic conditions are looking a lot like they were in the late 70’s. Unlike some of these “kids” (today’s 20 something democrats) whose comments are more attack than substance, I actually lived through and managed to survive those times, even attempting to buy a home then. But with double digit inflation and interest rates in the mid teens, I couldn’t come close…unlike the past few years when, thanks to organizations like ACORN, anyone could buy a house whether they could afford it or not. Yes, get ready for the “wonderful” Carter years again and God help us all!

The Vice President is the PRESIDENT of the SENATE. Why was what Sarah Palin said overstating? While it is true that most modern administration appoint a Senator to perform this role (President Pro Tempore), the Vice-President still has this power. He can’t vote unless it’s a tie of course, but otherwise the Senate President’s role is similar to that of Speaker of the House. Apparently political reporters aren’t required to study the constitution. The actual verbage is below. Feel free to look it up.

Excerpt from Article 1 Section 3
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

The Senate shall choose their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the Absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States.

Where IS Dick Cheney these days - anyone know??? He hasn’t been seen since before the Republican convention (which the Republicans wouldn’t allow him to attend.) Is Cheney hidden away in some underground bunker somewhere? Maybe the McCain campaign people stuck him there and locked him in so he couldn’t make any appearances and remind people just how bad the Bush-Cheney administration is. After all, McCain has to run as far away from Bush-Cheney as possible to have any hope of winning….

Why did Obama and Biden attack Joe the Plumber? Biden looks and sounds increasingly desparate, tired, beaten, capricious, irresolute, conflicted, lost,,, not ready for America

To Jay Germaine:

Dick Cheney is a 100% stand up guy? Except for the fact that nobody has seen him in a year, his number two is in jail and Bush admitted to Bob Woodward that Cheney and others made a lot of the decisions about Iraq without consulting him. Also, to the other (or same) Jay that said Palin is not overstating the role of the VP. If you read what you posted from the Constitution, it does not say that the VP runs the Senate. In fact, it says that they only get a vote if there is a tie. The VP is not like the Speaker of the House in any way. First of all the Speaker always has a vote and decides on the agenda of the House. The VP does neither of those. If political reporters need to study the Constitution, you need to study the history of our government and the history of the role of the VP in it. I’m sorry the Fox News has you all brainwashed. Palin is really stupid. No way this gets posted.

From,
One of those “liberals” (I prefer progressive)

You pose this as a bad thing?! As it would seem that he is neither an air head that is afraid to sit down and have an open discussion with the press over his policies. Add to that he understands the true roll of the vice president and the difference between the legislative branch and executive branch of our government, and constitutionally identified duties of the vice-president, I really don’t think the comparison is favorable to the republican camp. OOPS! I’ve stated this on the republican puppet site. Sorry folks, just thoughts for those who are prepared to understand how the government is supposed to work, not how its worked over the last 7 years of the Bush dictatorship…

“Dick Cheney however is a 100% stand up guy.” Give me a break. Cheney is a snake.

McCain/Palin have nothin leftd they have Thrown the Kitchen sink and table at the Dem ticket and they the Republican Ticket with McCain/Palin LOOK very PATHETIC right now! just Desprate… Just so Desprate!!

Obama/Biden 2008′ “JUST a more complete Ticket for American and all Americans”

All these negative comments outweigh the negative bias of Fox Network. It’s so ugly in here. Why can’t people write comments the way they would speak to another person in the same room, sitting at the same table? Whatever happened to voicing your own opinion truthfully, and respecting a dissenting view without rancor or malice?

We as Americans need to improve ourselves for our own good.

Please try.

Just look at the facts. McCain has more experience and guts and a take control attitude. Obama has very little experience and doesn’t issue any statements until he checks with his advisors.
Biden has many years of experience in the Senate but has never run anything on his own, not even this campaign. Palin worked her way up from city council to Governor of Alaska. She has made many decisions regarding her state. If you want to talk experience it’s the McCain/Palin ticket.

Biden has teh best speeches ever. And yes while he is prone to gaffes here and there, he is still much more qualified than Caribou Barbie..

She’s become more like a pet and trophy for John McCain

Like Biden said……..Style but no substance

I’m glad that you Dick Cheney sycophants and right-wing bozos finally found a voice by learning to use computers. While I can’t help but feel your ideals are fundamentally flawed (seriously, the ’stand-up guy’ bit was a little over-the-top, as others have indicated via various, indisputable anecdotes), it bolsters my faith in the American right to speech, as well as the future well-being of the homeland through education and individual progress.

Joe Biden the puke only dreams he could be half the man Cheney is! At least Cheney’s stances are known and he does not waiver on them. Biden and Obama flow with the wind. They say what will get them elected. Biden doesn’t even understand our constitution and he’s been in the Senate for how many years? He sais the DUMBEST things and thanks to our liberal media he gets away with it. It’s going to be a bad, bad 4 years with those two idiots in office. I can’t wait to lose my job because they want to raise taxes on my boss. Guess how my boss will make up for his higher taxes………by letting employees go and putting more work on the shoulders of those who are still here. Excellent idea Obama! Our government has gotten too big and now all we have is a majority of government working recips!

Was an undecided Independent… not anymore. I’m for Obama/Biden after doing an issue by issue comparison.

Am I reading some of these posts right, or are people actually thinking Biden is a good pick? I’m not sure if I fear Biden or Obama more.

McCain-Palin seem not only desperate but ridiculous. As an Independent I’ve tried to be and advocated being objective and rational while, as we all realize, there is simply a lot of pressure to keep us from doing either. It would be easy to say that we can’t trust anything said but then how could we ever measure. Today all of the candidates, including John McCain, find fault with the Bush-Cheney administration and strongly advocate that real change is absolutely needed, so it could be as simple as determining who to believe? By anyone’s measure Sarah Palin is different, short on qualifications and extremely bold for sure, yet many feel she is impressive and then Senator Obama doesn’t have real extensive qualifications either and presents, impressively but none the less, a bold approach. McCain accuses Obama of flip-flopping yet anyone would have to be blind not to recognize that McCain has literally been all over the place. Obama is attacked for all kinds of irrational, far fetched, off the point things but that seems to say more against the critics than against Obama. McCain and Bidden both have long running experience but nothing that impresses as being with commanding control or to the point of instilling complete confidence. We could just identify with the political parties but then that leaves us divided between conservative and liberal, between more of the same or change, concentration on Special Interests and a select few or on everyday concerns and there really is no end to those emotional debates. It goes on but the result is simply the same as there is little reality to base a rational and objective decision on, no real help to be counted on as being honestly complete and yet the problems today are drastic and our needs are formidable. For me it comes down to simply accepting some of what the candidates say, finding a consistency I can identify with, and then on seeing it supported in their history and in logical probability. In my thinking, John McCain has a history of doing whatever works best for him politically, including strongly supporting the Bush-Cheney policies and only now, at the last minute when desperate, faulting those same policies and advocating change. Sarah Palin’s bold, aggressive, self-focused personality (to even using her baby as a prop) disgusts me and is as if she would be a real problem if in any higher office (it could be said she already has been a problem in her current office). Joe Bidden seems to be very qualified and as if he would be a real asset to the president and to the country as vice-president. Barack Obama’s history and current presentation seems very consistent in offering a thoughtful, rational and conscientious approach to everything, including being able to solicit cooperation and provide direction in getting things done and to honestly benefit everyone. Rationally and objectively, to me, the decision seems to be logically sound for Obama-Bidden.

Remeber the last time Democrats had the White House Yes! Bill Clinton spent more time
defending himself in the Pointing finger “I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMEN” With
President Bush we didn’t have to worry about him chasing the INTERNS around. He was busy
making decisions for this country. Yes, some unpopular, but making decisions, Not thinking
Oh, is this going to make me popular! Same thing with Tony Blair from the UK, I really respect
that and I don’t respect someone who votes! present 196 times(NOBAMA) Gee! Give me the job I can manage that.
Final note: If the President of the United States of America was chasing MY INTERN DAUGHTER AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE, I DON’T THINK HE WOULD OF LASTED IS FULL TERM! I read a book by Gerald Ford, at the time ,Clinton had called him begging him to help against is impeachment. WE FORGET SO EASILY DON’T WE.
Moral of the story. The Liberals like a talker not a doer (ONE WHO ACTS!)

to JYoW. If you ever had a class in civics you would understand the position of the Vice President of the United States. Gov Paling has it exactly right and I cannot say that you are wrong because you do not say how she is wrong. Secondly, you have that prportion of taxes wrong. The top 25% of income earners (68%) pay 86% of all taxes. Thirdly, I do not know how a
