He takes the AMTRAK… not that it makes a difference…

We pay for the Amtrak and then we reimburse him for his ticket…

he wouldn’t be “of Washington” either.

What a maroon.

this is actually quite a polarizing pick for Senator Obama.

Senator Biden is CFR and the cheerleader for corporations in the Senate.

Senator Obama defeated Senator Clinton by tapping into the progressive vein of the Democratic Party.

By choosing Biden, Obama has thrown his primary voters under the bus for his backers at the DNC.

There will be backlash.

Joe Biden has run for President twice… once in 1988, and once this year. This year he didn’t survive past Iowa, where he finished fifth with about 1% of the vote.

In short, this is not a man who interests 2008 Democrat voters at all.

Baron & Budd. Just this month, founder and trial lawyer Fred Baron allegedly paid for former presidential candidate John Edwards’s mistress to re-locate. His firm’s employees have given Biden over $100,000 during his career.

Just saying…….

One of the things I hope someone brings up is how little “real jobs” in the real world the Dynamic Duo of “The One and Gaffy Joe” have had.

Joe Biden was first elected at 29, after years of school and short stint in a law firm.

John McCain may have married well, and has the houses to prove it, but the dynamic duo have never really earned a living, something John McCain as a military officer did.

How to frame that point is beyond me, but there is a point to be made.

Could you imagine the reaction of the Hillary supporters when this condescending fool started ripping into a mother of five during the VP debates?

I hope McCain picks Palin just to see Biden’s head explode… figuratively not literally.

reference up?

we need to have a strong woman like Palin or even better Meg Whitman as our VP- they would be incapable of reining in Biden’s pomposity and arrogance and it would ensure millions of women would vote for McCain after seeing Biden go off on the mother of five

I just caught a replay of the end of the Biden/Obama rally.

I was struck by the slouching Obama sitting in the hot sun behind the gasbag and the look of total boredom and a wry forced half smile on his face.

The look on his face and his body language was screaming WHAT THE —- HAVE THEY DONE TO ME!!!!!

Trying to put this choice in perspective is a real challenge from anything but the most surrealistic viewpoints.

Let’s think about this for a second:

Barack Obama has chosen a man to be his running mate who has not only said he’s not ready to lead the country, he has said he stands by it in a nationally televised debate. Now he wants to make him President of the United States.

President of the United States is arguably the most important job in the world, and where I come from, people who have a sincere belief that someone isn’t qualified to hold a given job or a position and have said so very clearly and emphatically don’t turn around and do the exact opposite. But that is what Joe Biden has done. And did I mention that it’s the most important job in the world?

I guess for Democrats, the way things work is that if you want to be President, the best thing you should do is have a “respected” senator with “gravitas” say that you shouldn’t be President, and then get him to join your ticket and enlist his help to make you President.

It all makes sense, no?

Expect four years of the same if Obamiden win.

I have been reading the blogs all day and
I really do not have a good understanding of this pick by BO. It just doesnt make sense. Were is the “change”? Where is the “newness”?
Where is the passion and vibrancy? This
pick negates all of his original value as a presidential nominee.
Does he really belief he is “the one”, or
is he a puppet being played by different
forces?
Either way, the last 30 hours have been
a huge boondoggle. How anyone can gain
any confidence from their nominee making decisions as he has is beyond me.
Playing the media well is not a Presidential qualification. Making
clear and decisive decisions is. OB
completely blew it at all levels.

Remember who was in charge of helping him choose a VP (Caroline Kennedy) so you know she was liking a younger version of Uncle Teddy (Irish, Catholic to boot)

a connection that we can look forward to explaining to the supporters of Hope and Change.

“Hey, Tavis, I want you to know there’s only four guys served longer than me; there’s still 44 older than me. That’s the important part to know.”

Joe Biden to Tavis Smiley – August 8, 2007

Is it just me, or does it seem like Obama tried all the “good” options for veep, found they either had “prior obligations” or were screening their calls, and then when forced to make a decision went with The Last Resort.

Obama was forced to punt.
