Good answer by Biden to a very silly question and damn nice to see Obama stand up for him.

[hypomanical]

God what an awful question. Biden has explained this already, months ago. Obama has defended him, months ago.

wow, what a racist sob! Clearly, Obama's not clean and articulate, and Indian people never work at 7-11's. He's obviously a Klansman to spew such venom!

Well I guess you're happy today SedanChair. Your dream team came true. You better get those bumper stickers out because the brawl is about to begin!

[liveguy]

I think this, like most statements by public figures, was blown was WAY outta proportion..BUT...from outside looking in...folks interpreted the comment as "he's very clean cut and articulate...for a black guy" As if a black man isn't supposed to be either of those things. I agree with Barten in that it was just a compliment..but you know how the media loves to create stories outta nothing.

Is there any doubt's left (besides Republicans)why this man will not be the next Vice President of the United States of America?

what u dont know is.. kurt followed the beliefs of a philosopher named albert ca moose, wherein the stand of that philosopher is after getting your biggest dream done, you have no more purpose in this world hence u are useless. his biggest dream was to perform in front of a large croud of people. you should not judge him as a problematic just bec of what he looks like and what he acts. that's what I have heard.

[Trillaaa]

The man keeps it real, that's the truth.

[Banten]

Only when a racist says it, otherwise it's just a compliment
