Joe Biden on The Today Show, September 16 2008

[eastariel]

Why is it Cheney chose such a mild-mannered, easy-going, go-along to get-along, quiet kind of guy as his front seat driver?

Bush doesn't seem like the type to tap the backseat driver on the arms and say, "Excuse me, but will you please get your hands off my steering wheel?"

I think Bush may have fallen asleep up there.

I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of NBC News' Today's Report On Joe Biden On Tuesday Evening, September 16, 2008.

[PATRICELUMUMBAS]

no blood in congo.stop.

[FireThunderTV]

I don't know, but something definitely needs to change over there in Washington!  And socialism is not the answer! Neither is bailouts, more government spending, control, or intrusiveness into our lives. We need to get back to the principles of the US Constitution that this country was founded on!

[FireThunderTV]

I don't know if that will ever happen. I'm surprised Ron Paul hasn't been killed because he's so different from everyone else in Washington, and he tells us all the dirty things they are doing. He's very transparent. I don't want anything bad to happen to him.

[FireThunderTV]

I like Ron Paul. We need someone like HIM in the White House.

[FireThunderTV]

LoL@CarnardP: You need to come up with something more original than that. That stupid line of playing the race card when someone doesn't support your cult leader is real old. I am a political atheist. And my best friend happens to be black.

[FireThunderTV]

Picture Obama supporters saying "Yes we can!" while bending over sticking their heads up their butts.

[FireThunderTV]

CarnardP: Since I don't have either one of those, that would be impossible.  You're just jealous cuz you're not white! Aaaahahahahahahahahaha!!!

[Devil7414]

Jerk Off Joe

[FireThunderTV]

Hahahaha. Obama SUCKS!!! I wish that earthquake in Haiti had just moved a few miles north and hit the Capital in Washington, DC and crushed the White House WITH Obama in it and also taken out all the crazy commie anti-America, anti-Constitution communists.

[joppman845]

Have another drink Joe!

[filth86]

obama picked the best man to run with him.

[aquatania]

Fewer than %3 of the US population makes $250,000 or more so why are we so concerned about Joe the plumber, when we really need to worry about whats going to happen to $24,000 dollar a year Jill the candlestick maker. I bring home about 100 grand a year before taxes (which isn't chump change) and I would not be all that up in arms if my taxes were raised. These guys pulling down 1/4 million a year have no right to cry, and I refuse to feel sorry for them.

[mutantstrain]

yea youre right, the war has nothing to do with anything. Maybe McCain can find us another war ... THEN we'll really be happy.

[kajunmoon]

GO JOE GO

I love this man.

Michelle will be a great first lady.

[tomco727]

PUMAs for Palin: Clinton's 18 Million PUMA Democrats support McCain-Palin

[badtown88]

How'd that work out?

[tomco727]

[mutantstrain]

Tom

You are lost and I feel bad you are in such trouble. Biden and Obama will do their best to help guys like you and me. You've been voting for the wrong party (republican) and now don't know who to blame. Voting Republican is like drinking more alcohol to help with bad hangover.

No matter who is elected its going to be rough. I honestly believe we need a Democratic president. The world wants us to vote this way. The markets want us to vote this way. Biden is a smart guy.

[dkslfjgh]

It is clearly the Democrats who are to blame for the economic problems in this country.

[tomco727]

When John and Sarah Put in the american owned oil wells and lets say gas is 150 a gallon again maybe they will charge 10 cets a fill up and pay off national debt,Sarah palin is smart like that look at the prosperity in alaska truly her and John are 2 Mavericks for the people ,how did more people vote in ohio than-- live there I guess the dead people registered

[tomco727]

taxes taxes taxes -oh my same old stuff joe

[tomco727]

I am middle class just lost 10 thousand in my IRA becouse of your party -we dont want the change in our pockets that will be left even in a rescue attemt to save the economy you are porking it up -with 20 billion for groups like acorn --we the peple of the middle class hear john mccain loud and clear 14 lies and mistated facts debatig Sarah-did not even get the job decription right for vp .. thank God we have an female outsider with fresh ideas--Damm good basketball player too--

[charlycroki1]

my ex bf cheated on me so im gonna get him back!

[Toxik03]

I am not a Democrat or a Republican but i am a Iraq Veteran. When i was in Iraq the first time we were patrolling the streets of Anbar on a Humvee made of fiberglass. This man, JOE BIDEN went against his party and introduced the senate and voted to have a supplemental fund to fund the MRAP vehicles. He went against his party to do what is right. While everyone was playing the blame game and forgetting those who were actually there.He has gained my respect and vote.

Semper Fi

[awilsonator]

You've got to love Joe Biden - this is the type of hardworking, competent American character that the whole world can respect. I really hope that he will be able to serve your country.

[jitu911]

He is SMART!!! i mean if the tickets were flipped the democrats would win in a landslide , heck if Obama was white the dems would win!!

[1nedward]

Democrats have Congress and Senate majorities!! They can't complain that the last two years have been the Republicans fault because it is the democrats who have been in power and haven't done anything with it!!

[FrizzKid05]

Problem with your logic is this: in order for bills to pass, a majority of them need 2/3 votes, not 51%. Plus, Bush has been the one given veto power, and that can only be overruled by 2/3 majority...so really, that has nothing to do with it.

[1nedward]

Still you don't hear the democrats fulfilling their campaign promises from 2006.

[MasterShadowRyu]

Biden's Foreign Policy Experience: Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee

Palin's Foreign Policy Experience: She can see Russia from her house

[glenda045]

Very well said! I am waiting for my Obama/Biden magnate for my car. They certainly will get my vote. Let's send Bush back to Texas, and McCain can join him.

[Pappy76248]

Dear Senator Obama,

Your job is being a Senator. Running for President is not a profession. Please do your job! "We The People" do not care about your walking and gum chewing habits. Neither of those things are accomplishments, and claiming the ability to do both at the same time does not qualify you to be President of the United States. This the kind of meaningless rhetoric we have come to expect from you.

John McCain has decided to take action in a time of crisis. Please join him.

[glenda045]

Go to the McCain site. They will welcome you there.

[Pappy76248]

I did, but thank you for the suggestion.

[chillybearB]

this is where obama made his mistake.

picking biden.

[dorce84]

who do you find more smart than biden ??tell me.there is none.

[chillybearB]

lol joe biden what a joke

[amazingbeauty456]

The biggest joke of all time is Palin. I don't think I will watch this one, she will be a disgrace to women. Just kidding, I like to get in some laughs, I will be sitting with my popcorn popped to see her make a bigger fool of herself. It will be better than Saturday night live.

[vanilis]

I'm envious of Americans right now to have the opportunity to vote in not one, but two intelligent, articulate and charismatic individuals like Biden and Obama! Please, America, DO NOT elect McPalin!! The wrold begs you!!!

[varsitykid24]

what a dochebag

[jiminyjangles]

You're damn right Joe... and the points ARE back up.

[newbombturk99]

We will all be paying higher taxes with all these bailouts not just the "rich" people.

[cg66079]

If that is true, it won't matter who is the next president taxes would increase, but this whole mess was the result of a no interference policy that McCain supported for over 20 years and then just 2 days ago decided to change. At least with Obama/Biden they will put in regulation that will prevent this from happening again in the near future.

[TheBlueCollarScholar]

Tragically, in 1972 Biden's wife and daughter were killed in an automobile accident. Mrs. Biden pulled out of an intersection into the path of an oncoming tractor trailer. However, this SOB Biden, in 2001, said that the truck driver was drunk and that the accident was his fault, a totally unsubstantiated statement. For Biden to lie about the details of the deaths of his wife and daughter to gain sympathy toward himself is disgusting. This says everything about this guy's character.

[Raymonsta]

wtf does this have to do with the issues this country are facing??

i mean seriously.. It seems like all the other party does is talk shit but dosent say anything important about what people want to hear.. do us all a favor and stfu damn..

[Toxik03]

Semper Fi senator

Obama/Biden 08

[mclaire12]

Why is Biden an SOB because the truck driver might be drunk? Do you know how many 4 letter words come to me in messages over this election?? Why arent we discussing the real issues???

[willdfw]

I can tell you that if Joe Biden is serious about being Patriotic we should find that he has been paying higher taxes. If this is his belief then his record should indicate he does pay above and beyond the required percentage of his income by the IRS. There is nothing that prohibits any of us from paying more to the IRS each year if we wish.

[SirThomaas]

trouble with your argument is that Joe isn't made of money, doesn't have 8 houses to his name, and his net worth is pretty low for a guy with 33 years of Senate experience. what

that shows me is here's a guy with forever and a day to milk the system or exploit his position who decided instead to just work for

a living and get his job done. No one WANTS to pay more taxes, the question is really about who SHOULD have a greater burden. I think those who benefit most, should pay the most.

[kj61077]

I love Joe Biden. Period. I wish there was more to say. This is what it is about. I agree with Joe...I really thought McCain was better than that. I thought this was going to be pretty honorable campaign. Very upsetting.

[givethemahand]

Who wants a compulsive liar, with no education, who has never been out of the country, who goes to a church that wants total WAR with ALL of Islam as VP ?

Who wants Joe Biden instead?

(both are a heartbeat away)

Tough question..isn't it?

Or maybe not.

Seems like a no brainer to me.

[gieskeworkingdogs]

Joe is strong. Patriot at work.

Obama/Biden 08

[marnzer1]

This is the quintessential Joe Biden! He will be a great hard working V.P. to team up with Barack Obama. Joe, keep telling it like it is.  OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 +

[Chiffon56]

Love ya', Joe! If you would have run the last time around, you would have beat Bush. You, actually, should have been the nominee THIS time, but I'll settle for your being in the V.P. spot. Now... glad to see that Obama is starting to show some passion, himself. PLEASE tell him to keep it up. And you guys HAVE TO stay on offense. Things to pound them on: 1) McCain's being against the GI bill. 2) Palin spending $17 thousand to stay in her own home. 3) McCain's flip-flops... '00-'08. SHOW THEM!!

[Chiffon56]

BTW... McCain's flip-flops? There are plenty of examples right here on YouTube. THAT'S what will help your campaign more than anything. I swear to you. Try it, and watch your numbers go up.

[lionsgatellc]

Biden is what will make obamas presidency work

[Feyrhawk]

JOe you rock! We are all waiting for you to hand Palin her teeth in the first debate. Don't let us down. The country needs to see how strong you are.

[pentium4foreverutube]

Well said Joe, well said.

[cw5347]

Love ya Joe! You tell them!

Obama/Biden are looking out for all of America.

[ptypn]

I feel so sorry for sarah palin!

[cg66079]

By the way, Reganomics, the trickle down effect of prosperity, has been effectively proven false. You give the upper class more, it doesn't end up helping the people at the bottom. It stays at the top.

[angella714]

Was that Biden or Cheney. Sounded like Cheney with a Liberal Viewpoint. What a nightmare!

[Rip2pac2k6]

haha what a nightmare that you equate our piece of shit vp with joe biden haha!

[FrizzKid05]

What? Was that a human being that sounded like a political soap-box? The biggest nightmare of all....

[SwimCharSwim]

Great Interview!! Get this on Barack Obama's channel as well!!

[angella714]

Show some respect scum bag. It's Senator McCain and President Bush. Obama/Biden= Thousands upon thousands of lost jobs for Americans, but I'm sure the illegals these liberal crack pots love so much will keep their jobs and we'll all be paying for their healthcare too. Wake up people. Obama will destroy this country so if elected ya'll better cling to those guns and religion we'll all need it.

[cg66079]

"Obama/Biden= Thousands upon thousands of lost jobs for Americans"

Bull Shit. They are going to give subsidies to companies that bring jobs back from over seas while McCain will give them more tax cuts. Obama will create thousands of jobs in R&D for alternative energies not to mention the people who will me producing those products. If you think that Obama will cause a loss of jobs you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

[angella714]

Keep telling yourself that...STUPID. You just keep telling that puppet to continue reading all those Bullshit speeches off the teleprompters. Real AMERICANS don't believe it. For someone who has out spent McCain 3 to 1 the polls sure are close and moving McCains way. That tells me Obama had his 15 minutes and now its over. He should have picked Hillary. A History of Bad Judgment. American can't afford that!

[cg66079]

You are the stupid one for swallowing everything that Fox News says without question. I read the BBC and I check factcheck(dot)org every day. These are two sources that are as objective as can be found. Where do you get your information. Let me guess Bill O'Reilly? Get your head out of your ass and realize that the republicans are running a misinformation campaign. Seek out bipartisan sources and think for yourself.

[roygbiv30]

cg66079, i don't know why you spend your time arguing with people non-thinkers like angella714. just read this article about how most americans just want to elect reality show characters as president and vice president and certainly don't want to *think* about issues. look, angella714 doesn't even know what "bipartisan" means....seriously, don't waste your time. volunteer and get people to vote instead. i'll send you the link to that article now...

[Rip2pac2k6]

obama can still win this, so don't kid yourself and the only motherfucker with 15 minutes of fame is sarah palin, she will fizzle out and has and will never be anything special , the republicans will lose this campaign because they are full of shit, spew shit and never cover any issues

[truthislifeis]

check the polls, we r back n the lead! go obama!

[Rip2pac2k6]

and oh one more thing, please stop the ultra conservatice bullshit , the religious right needs to stop shovign their religious views down our throats, and they wonder why alot of young kids aren't religious, well maybe if you let them choose , and btw what makes you think obama would destroy religion, what are you programmed to fox news, look further than just your tv screen my friend and you might be shocked at what you find

[cg66079]

It is the religious right that has already destroyed religion. If anything Obama embodies the social moral responsibilities of Christianity more than anyone on the stage. I have said it several times and I will say it again: Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, was the embodiment of socialist ideals. All men are equal in the eyes of God. "As you have done to the least of these so have you done to me." -Jesus-, "Love thy neighbor as thy self." -Jesus-. Socialism isn't the same as Communism.

[Rip2pac2k6]

that is true and i think its sad that alot of people equate socialism with communism , communism and facism and nazism were NEGATIVE forms of ultra nationalist socialism, but people have been programmed to thin k oh socialism , that means you are a fucking commie

[cg66079]

Finally, someone who is actually educated in political theory and doesn't automatically call me a commie when I say I am in favor of socialism. I believe in Democratic Socialism.

In the WWII era two types of socialism arose, communism and democratic socialism. The latter died off because it didn't offer the quick fix that people were looking for. Democratic socialism would take longer to make a difference, but it would be much more stable and less prone to abuse than communism.

[Rip2pac2k6]

haha yeah forreals , i know wayy too many people that think socialism means you're a communist, that's the problem with society nowadays we allow ourselves to be programmed by the media and rely on prejudices of the past to ascertain our political views, if only people would just READ instead of believe all the bullshit they are fed

[GAWDS03]

u cant expect a millionaire who inherited the money from his WIFE to get a clue of whats going on. and whats worse, the hicks that vote for him will continue to, THINK PEOPLE HE HAS 7 HOUSES OF COURSE THE ECONOMY IS SOUND FOR HIM..

WE NEED CHANGE! WE DESERVE CHANGE! Not 4 more years of these idiots...

[morleigh13]

Go get 'em Joey the shark!

[TNutty]

If the republicans gain office again...the economy will get worse, and the same failed solutions continue. If the dems get into office, the economy will also get worse, but at least we have hope for new solutions to the problems.

[babyfran05]

joe biden's got some fire. that's the vp we need.

[walk411]

Vice President Joe Biden. Fighting to bring out the truth about the government. American working class needs relief from government mismanagement across the national. Do you think that the money giving for that bridge to nowhere was mismanaged? I do. This is just one example of waste happening in American.

These earmarks giving for state project needs to be looked at.

[dyansty02]

Obama/Biden 2008. Don't be scared of change!

[Amaranth9000]

the only prob is, Mcbush released a msg 2 day makin fun of Biden 4 sayin 'buy toaster, is that a solution 2 economy?' Is that the best the repubs can come up w/?

Obama/Biden need 2 fight back hard on thwarting these irrelevant comments that dont have n e thing 2 do w/ the economy or help the American ppl make an educated decision. To all repubs, talk about Real issues 4 once in ur live.

Biden also needs 2 b very careful w/ d words in his speech. The repubs'll twist ne thing.

Peace.

[OregonPerspective]

Thanks to the Bush Republicans, we now have

the largest deficits in history, the most mortgage defaults since the depression, the biggest income gap since the 20s, a crashing stock market, no energy policy, a warming planet, a $700 billion dollar war, and Osama Bin Laden out there waiting.

8 years of Bush and 12 years of Republicans have produced this disaster.

It's sad that Palin and McCain even try to defend their partys record.

Google "factcheck mccain".

[JohnDeBunkTest]

McCain is running a sleazy campaign.

Even Carl Rove said he went too far!

[Shanaliq]

i wish i could vote also T_T Obama better win!!!!!!

[mazenkoko]

i wish i can vote ..

i would vote for OBAMA for sure!!
