Joe Biden on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer

[jayne56011]

In an interview on ABC with host George Stephanopoulus, Biden stated that Iran was NOT building nukes, that they'd stopped it in 2003 and they were NO threat according to 16 investigations. The host corrected him and said they were NOT SURE. How could Biden get that so wrong? No threat to not sure is a HUGE difference when you're talking about nukes. Here he states they're a threat. He should have known the facts earlier, he's the Chairman on Foreign Relations. NO vote for Obama, no for biden.

[jayne56011]

So successful in Bosnia? They helped the muslims take over a Christian nation. Hmmm...very good, such a success.

[msalaam]

Joe Biden...a true American hero. Courage, conviction, empathy, & wisdom just to name a few of his DEMONSTRATED traits.

You have my vote and support sir.

[BruDiggity]

What lies?!? You f-ing jerk!

Not like Bush/Cheney lies. Four thousand dead.

Biden has lived through more and overcome more than any of you cynical neocons could ever imagine in your worst nightmare.

Crawl back into your hole and listen to Rush. Don't spread your hate and smears with noble guys like Biden!

[kstaylor98682]

With 75 senators voting for his plan on an Iraq exit strategy, even if Bush veto's it there's still a strong chance for that veto to be overridden, depending on what happens in the House. If this plan gets implemented soon and works, Biden will no longer be under Obama, Hillary, and Edwards in this race. He will likely be #1 overnight. I long for that, because Sen. Biden is overwhelmingly clearly the best to lead this country.

[razalabed]

bid on biden and be a winner

[ericcalderon2]

Mr. Biden,

Hands down you are the most capable future president. Its unfortunate that America's culture of collective oppression and abuse fogs the perspective of your potential to the masses.

[reverendgisher]

just trace back to my channel. i've got the blooper.

[slinkie799]

i donated $100 of christmas money for his campaign. people just need to listen to him to love him!

[proofset666]

I dearly hope he get's tapped for sec. of state when we have a sane foreign policy again. I'm voting to nominate him in CA & Gave him $50 6 months ago. I've wanted him for pres for a long time.

[toddadale]

This should be our President! Joe's Right

[razalabed]

if the baby didn't cry he wont get milk

[johnkerry7]

Biden now has matching funds. I just gave $5 to Bidens campaign, i cant even afford that kind of donation. Thats how much i love and support this man, and how much i believe in him. That $5 has turned into $10 with matching funds. Please, if you support Biden, give a lil bit.

go joe go!!! :)

[johnkerry7]

i know that. But i think he has to run 1st (and i think he will) in Iowa. But regardlessof what happens, i live in California and i WILL be casting my vote for Biden.

Go Joe Go!!! :)

[malonezone]

Biden is the best candidate for president.  Period.

[reverendgisher]

american jobs going overseas is not small stuff unless you are too wealthy from the increased profits shipping them there brought you. biden needs to take a side.

[toddadale]

This guy should be President - If he had been President for the last 7 years, this would be a great country, like it once was....

[johnkerry7]

Every one dont forget. He is on the ballot in all the primary states. IF, and i dont think it will come to this, but if he looses in Iowa or the early states, it doesnt mean that the later states you couldnt vote for him. I live in Cali, part of that Big Super Tuesday. I WILL be voting for Biden, no matter what.

Go Joe Go!!! :)

[santelmojack]

There is NO Republican who could beat BIDEN

[SanityEndsHere]

Wow. Joe Biden is really charismatic.

[2639lon]

Why is it that all of his oponents for the nomination seem to give this line "I agree with Joe " or Joe is Right I rest my case

[reverendgisher]

I like Joe too, frank guy, but wonder why he has not said anything about the Duncan Hunter blooper in the last repub deabte?

[sportsman893]

BIDEN/OBAMA '08

[classic14rider]

"Joe is Right" is an okay slogan for the Biden campaign, but I like "It's not about Change or Experience, it's about action." I think that calls attention to Biden's strengths without seeming to be a hollow claim of self-promotion. Every time, during the debates, Obama alludes to "change" and Hillary alludes to "experience" Biden needs to counter with "action" which implies both "change" and "experience" as he pointed out in this interview.

[classic14rider]

Wait a minute kstailey. The actions of Russia and China do not occur in a vacuum. The US is deploying new missles in Poland and new radar systems in Central Europe. The US also is encouraging India play a larger military role in Southeast Asian waters -- a security zone for China. What would we do if China and Russia were encircling us the way we are encircling them? Let's not support neo-conservative policies that are leading us to a Third World War.

[stevelatinner]

Why write things like this? All talk no facts. Biden is great. Campaign on your own site.

[meshent]

Every single statement is so ridiculously wrong it's almost funny.

Some Ron Paul fans are so self-righteous and moronic they don't realize he is not qualified to be president or handle any of the issues the country currently faces. The other people in the Republican party make him look like an idiot (in regards to the last debate). I'd like to see him try and debate Joe on any important issue.

[2taboo]

I'm very concerned about Ron Paul and his connection to the insurence companies. He is Medical Doctor with no experience in law or gonverment.

[ShinVirus]

it is funny

[ipmoic]

He needs Democrats in the primary states--now. Hillary and Barack will divide our votes yet again!! We can't afford another loss next November. Please primary state voters--vote for Joe; and campaign and donate if you can.

[JHinWA]

I'm so grateful I stumbled across Joe, he is the most qualified candidate for President. I don't live in Iowa, so the most I can do, & have done, is contribute to his campaign, & urge friends & family do the same. It is my hope that many people, no matter their state, giving what they can will help the effort to reach out to more people in Iowa. So they too can stumble across Joe as I did, and join the push to put him in the White House where he so deservingly belongs!

[andy55512000]

while clinton and obama are attacking eachother and producing lines but not a whole lot of substance, joe biden is running a classy campaign based on issues we as voters care about. he's so calm and self assured, and speaks honestly with us about what's really going on. he knows how to deal with adversity and we will be more than well served as a people if we can get joe biden elected.

[beachwriter429]

If you agree that Joe Biden is the only candidate who can take our country in the right direction, please make a small donation (or a large on if possible!) to his campaign. Every bit helps...the more money he raises, the more media attention he will get. It's a sad fact, but it's true.

[kjaxel]

The best investment you can make toward a great American future is dig deeper and donate the most you can to his campaign for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

THIS MAN IS YOUR ONLY CHOICE FOR SURVIVAL OF THIS DEMOCRACY AS OUR FOREFATHERS INTENDED.

THANK YOU FOR RUNNING JOE!

[jeffrosati]

Biden for President / Ron Paul for Vise

[godishealer]

I really want him to WIN. He makes so much sense on everything he talks about.

[joellenmegan]

Americans could all benefit from this intelligent, honest, patient, and spiritual

public servant; to say nothing for the international community. Let's elect him to the presidency!!! GO JOE!!! sincerely, Joellen Megan

[joellenmegan]

Americans could all benefit from this intelligent, patient, honest, and spiritual

public servant. Let's elect him to the presidency; we would never regret it!!!!!!GO JOE!!! jmm

[littlemtn7]

I am in SC and he has had my vote since day one! He's not real well known down here, but I display my window sticker and yard sign proudly hoping to get a few people to notice him, anyway!

[littlemtn7]

There is not one other candidate, Democrat or Republican, that comes even close to the intelligence, experience, foreign affairs knowledge, honesty, integrity and down-right class that Joe Biden has. Let's get the word out and the contributions in for this fine man! We can't let this opportunity to have Mr. Biden as President of our United States pass us by! Slap on the bumper stickers and pull out your wallets to contribute. GO JOE!

[grits4me2eat]

Joe Biden is the best hope that we have for this country. He doesn't get the media attention he deserves because we aren't demanding that they do their jobs. Demand focus on the issues. Contribute to Joe! I have given twice and plan to give more. get the Word out!

[violenteer]

Biden is truely an amazing leader. When I see the lack of corperate donations going to him because they would rather give to less qualifed candidates who they can persuade based on profit goals, it inspires me to fight for Biden. I am bordering on poverty, but I have donated $30 to Biden. Please join me, so he can convince Iowa voters that he is truely needed at such a crucial time in American history. Thanks.

[violenteer]

Sometimes I wonder where the American voter's interest lies. How can such a

[Caseman99]

Wow, if the Democrats don't pick Biden, then they must be high. Who cares which candidate has the most "poll numbers" for the Democrats: if they pick Biden, they are going to win. If they pick Hilary, she will be easy picking for a smear campaign, and Obama sucks at debating and speeches. If the Democrats don't pick Joe, then I'm not voting (which would be my first year voting).

[fattony1a]

Should Biden not win this election he should at the very least be chosen as Secretary of State. We need a good diplomat that understands the world and who has experience in dealing with its leaders.

Go Joe!

[gateley]

When I compare and contrast Biden to the other candidates, his breadth and understanding of the global picture, not to mention his hands-on experience with so many world leaders, just makes it so clear to me that this is the man we need at this critical moment in history. The thought of anybody else taking the helm when literally world peace is in the balance, makes me nervous. We really NEED this guy right now.

[filmjoker]

Speaking as an Iowa and a caucus-goer, I'm backing Joe. We need more folks to help us. STEP UP IOWA!

[nkoulerm]

he is so skilled and battle-tested. i dont understand how people buy into this "rockstar" status of other candidates. wake up america! see who is most qualified!!

[angieclement]

Joe Biden is the best canidate out there & he has my vote!!!!

[ForEmily23]

I'll tell you one thing...if this guy doesn't get the respect he deserves and has to drop out of the race because this country is too naive to give him enough votes, I am going to miss him immensely. Joe Biden has single-handedly instilled an interest in politics inside me and also a renewed passion for this country. When I listen to him speak, I realize there is hope in these troubled times. Whether or not he wins, Joe Biden is my president.

[littlemtn7]

I agree with you whole-heartedly! He does instill hope that has surely been missing the last 7 years! I hope and pray that the People of this country wake up and take notice of the opportunity to have Joe Biden as out next president. He could certainly hold his own in a debate with any of the Republican candidates without the controversy that some of the other Dems bring. I would have faith in our country and its people again!

[crazymadbird]

Joe Biden rocks.
