Biden introduces himself in a video to supporters in which he heaps praise on Obama and asks for volunteers.

(CNN) – One day after becoming the presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee, Delaware Senator Joe Biden sent a video message to Barack Obama’s supporters introducing himself — and hinting at his appeal to key voting blocs the Illinois senator has long worked to win over.

“There’s never been anything like it,” Biden says into the camera, seated with an American flag over his shoulder. “This campaign has already accomplished so many amazing things. For one, it’s cut through the old-school partisanship that currently plagues Washington.”

Before briefly summarizing his work in the Senate, Biden first says that he comes from “a big Catholic family with a strong tradition of service.” Obama has had some trouble with Catholic Democrats, most flocked to Hillary Clinton during the primaries.

Biden also touches on his penchant for blunt talk that has landed him in some trouble in the past.

“I know I’m known for speaking my mind, hopefully clearly and strongly,” says Biden seriously, “but I do it on behalf of the middle class.”

He closes by asking people to sign up as volunteers for the campaign.

“My plan quite frankly is to roll up my sleeves and do what you’ve been doing. Make the phone calls, knock on the doors. Talk to new voters and new supporters face to face.”

Though the campaign has already rolled out a new Obama/Biden logo, the video finishes with an “Obama ’08” graphic.

Joe Biden is smart, good looking and has a great sense of humor!
Americans are going to fall in love with him. I am an African American
and I have observed this man for years. I have always believed that
he would make a great leader. I am thrilled that he is going to be the
next Vice President of the United States. John McCain and his supporters are shaking in their ferragamos!!!

Michael   August 24th, 2008 10:26 pm ET

Obama should have picked Clinton. Biden is not a problem himself.

But Clinton peope are bailing on Obama now that Hillary will not be the VP. Obama will have an even bigger problem if all the primary votes are counted in the roll call and Hillary wins. I hear there will be floor wips to prevent pro Hillary signs and try and keep Clinton people quiet. I find that beyond belief that in American the voice of a people would be suppressed. If it is true, Obama will be lucky to have 30,000 people show for his acceptance speech, let alone 75,000. For all his supposed inexperience, Obama sure looks like an old guard Washington politiican that will say and do anything to win.
Change? Looks like the same old same old to me.

Roger Evans   August 24th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

Sen Obama states that he is Change we can believe in. I for one do not. By ignoring the 18 million of us who voted for Sen Clinton and ignoring our wishes, you are no different than Pres Bush. He does not listen to the other side or the public or anything that would be in the best intrest of the country. You have done nothing to unite the party. I am one of the many diehard HILLARY supporters how will vote for McCain because he has at least had the courtsey to ask for our votes. something you have yet to do.

Edgar - Orlando   August 24th, 2008 10:16 pm ET

I support you and 18 million voters that are Hillary votes not Obama or DNC. We will not forget it !

Andy   August 24th, 2008 10:11 pm ET

Obama picked Joe Biden? The plagiarist? Senator for 30 years?

Gee, real change there Bambi. You just proved you are just another out of touch tax and spend liberal.

JC   August 24th, 2008 10:10 pm ET

Biden didn't appeal to those blocs of voters when he was running for president. I don't understand why people believe he will suddenly appeal to them now? I like Biden, but I don't think people will vote for Obama because Biden is on the ticket. If that was the case, Biden would have faired a little better in the primaries.

Joseph   August 24th, 2008 10:09 pm ET

On a real note here let us think about why corporate america send skilled lobor overseas and imports skilled workers and very little is said about it. Is it because it is done legally? These are jobs that pay 36 to 100 thousand dollars a year normally and we would want our loved ones to have an yet it gets very little attention or mention.

The real question is does Joe Biden support these policies in corporate america and will he tax appropriately those businesses whos strategy is to make money by displacing skilled american workers.

Matt   August 24th, 2008 10:08 pm ET

Arrogance plus pit bull is an arrogant pit bull! And that's how they'll sell the ticket to americans? OMG…what have the dem party turned into? If they loose this election, the DNC is definitely a damaged party. According to me…a proud independent supporting Mccain.

mike   August 24th, 2008 10:06 pm ET

Since Hillary is not on the ticket. I will never vote for an Obama ticket. He only thinks about himself not the party.

Steve, New York   August 24th, 2008 10:04 pm ET

The Democrats are all screwed up. They're the only party that has Super Delegates. Independents and the Republicans have a simple election and the majority wins. If you don't know how to run a simple election, you obviously will not be able to run a country.
Biden is looking fo volunteers. I volunteered to be a Super Delegate
and I will vote for Hilarry. She's my lady. It's a fact that women are smarter than men.

Wisest one of All   August 24th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

Excellent choice Nobama!! Now even some of the nobamabots will see through your phoney claims of change! The nobamabots who continue to support you will only be proving how incredibly stupid they are. Proven fact!

Janice   August 24th, 2008 9:41 pm ET

Its a no go Joe.

Joe we have heard all the old lip service before hope over fear etc.

Trying to sell Obama's old radical ideas wraped in new glossy words won't fool anyone.

The magic is gone, We know who you are Joe and the answer is NO.

Betty   August 24th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

Charlotte   August 24th, 2008 8:13 pm ET

Hillary would be hard pressed to fill Obamas' gaps, much less Biden. Obama is the poorest excuse for a candidate since Mondale. I did not vote for Mondale because he was Black? I did not vote for Dukakis because he was Black. I will not vote for Obama because he is Black. I must be a racist..LMAO

Ndalio   August 24th, 2008 8:09 pm ET

Ted:Canada   August 24th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

Biden has been approved by CANADA
Hillary will lead health care reform.

McCain will try to remember;
1. which house he is living in
2. where Pakistan is located on the map
3. that birth control is for women and cilas is for men
4. if he can get it up
5. that the Vietnam war is over
6. that he should not offer up his wife for top less contests

Repubs – just some humour – have fun with this.

SMILE!!!!

Ralph   August 24th, 2008 8:06 pm ET

Joe Biden is a decent man, but Obama is the one running for President. Obama had to add to his very weak resume, he hopes Biden will do the trick. Obama should be way ahead and it it still too close to call. Wonder why? Obama-bots want to claim racism is the cause. If Obama had a resume, I might agree. He doesn't have much of a record to even attack to any degree, where's the beef? I would vote for someone like Colin Powell, who is black. Obama would not get my vote if he were white. Mondale,Dukakis did not get my vote either. The Democrats keep putting nobodies up and expect to win anyway? I will write Hillary on my ballot, as I can't vote for any of the above.

McBush - McLies - McElitist - McWorldWar 3   August 24th, 2008 8:06 pm ET

McCain isn't even slightly prepared for that is going to hit him!

Is sorry and despate POW stories are getting stale and he has nothing more to go on!

Look out, it's coming!

Democrat for John McCain   August 24th, 2008 8:04 pm ET

Dear Joe, Do you know the background of Barack. Do you know his performance in Illinois legislature? Do you know about his links with Rezko and others? How can you join him as running mater. perhaps you are desperate. You can't be President so you now need VP post. Barack has no experience, no background and nothing. It is tragedy for democratic party.

So proud of Sen. Obama and his supporters. Even against impossible odds (hated and attacked by so many) you've still reach an amazing point…THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION for President. There will be haters, (PUMA's, Notfallinginline, RNC, McCain campaign, the current administration, and the devote racists)…but stand tall people. The support of people of all colors indicates to the world – The USA has many millions of intelligent people that consider character first.

arlene, CA   August 24th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Welcome Joe Biden. Obama made the right choice. I did get the e-mail and video & also made my donation to the Obama/Biden campaign. A winning team 08-12.

aware   August 24th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

As I said, arrogance trumps integrity!

I was against Obama before he made me VP, and now I am for him!

Does this sound familiar? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! :)

Imagine that no one picked up the sexism in Biden's speech yesterday. He introduced his wife as downright gorgeous, but it was a problem that she was a doctor? The gaff was glaring and what was more glaring, no one picked it up. They also did not pick up the Bush like speak, like we are going to smoke them out. Obama said, "he stares down dictators" when speaking of Biden. Yikes that no one notices such horrifying language.

It is amazing to see the blatant shameless stage crafting and narrative making in this political cycle. No one knows the danger of it. EGOBAMA is cast as well as Biden by the ruthless really right wing left wing Geffen Oprah team. Yikes. The psychological sickness of the left and right is more frightening than the entire archive of horror films. Where oh where are we headed?

Now THIS is laughable: "This campaign has already accomplished so many amazing things. For one, it’s cut through the old-school partisanship that currently plagues Washington.”

Yeah – it helped join the democrats and republicans due to the democratic party being cut in half. I guess that I change after all!

I do like Biden but he in no way goes with Obama's message. Did you guys know Biden vote for the Iraq war – same as Clinton. Now didn't Obama repeatedly use that against her during the campaign? Is it somehow now sound judgement? You can't trust this man…

Maybe because Americans care more now about the Economy than the war it's not that big of a deal anymore? Saying what you want to hear? Different kind of politics, indeed.

AS FOR WOOING THE WHITE AMERICAN AND RURAL VOTERS.
WHO OBAMA DESCRIBED AS BITTER AND HOLDING ON TO THEIR GUNS AND RELIGION., WELL OBAMA CAN NO MORE CHANGE THEIR VOTES FOR HILLARY OR MCCAIN THAN OBAMA CAN TURN A DONKEY INTO A PURE BRED RACE HORSE.
OBAMA JUST AINT READY TO FACE UP TO THE WORLD STAGE
STATESMANSHIP THAT AMERICA NEEDS. HOW CAN HE FACE UP TO THE RUSSIANS WHEN HE WANTS TO NEGOTIATE WITH AN INTRANSIGENT IRANIAN LEADERSHIP WHICH SAYS SOMETHING

Interesting that CNN's ticker story about the McCain ad, bashing Biden, included a link to watch the ad, and this ticker story about Biden's video doesn't include a link to *it*.

So much for the liberal media, huh?

Belle2   August 24th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

Every time I consider voting for Obama I just read the comments on this site. Then, I know I cannot vote for Obama. He inspires hatred and animosity. If his 3:00AM text was not a calculated move to give Clinton supporters (not Clinton herself) one last jab, it was a stupid move (do you believe Obama is stupid; if not you believe he is calculating, arrogant, and mean spirited). I believe it was just one more arrogant move (like brushing her off his shoulders). I don't know how anyone could see it differently. Obama and his fans do not understand the word "gracious". Obama is mean-spirited and his arrogance makes Bush look humble. Talk about whiners; Obama fans are the poorest sports I have ever heard of in the history of politics. Go ahead all you Obama fans and call me names. You do not want my vote or need it. Just don't blame the Clintons or her supporters in November. This election is Obama's to win or lose. The Clintons owe him nothing; Clinton supporters owe him nothing. You can do it on your own so go ahead and do it. Then accept the responsibility for your win or loss and stop blaming everyone else and expecting the Clintons to roll over and help you out.

Enough of the insanity   August 24th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

You PUMA's need to get on board as Hillary would want you to, or get out of the way. Change is coming..

Obama/Biden 08

Elek   August 24th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Joe Biden is a wise decision for Vice President. He's got plenty of experience in Washington and in foreign policy. I'm also glad he did not pick Hilary Clinton. She could not manage her campaign team well, she was selfish, divisive, indecisive, and didn't have a whole lot more experience than Obama. She came off as a just another politician with scandals and lies. She was very aggressive with her criticisms of Obama, and now you expect him to pay your debts. I can't believe Hillary supporters actually thought Obama should pick her. Maybe she can try again in 8 years.

Anyways, I can't wait to go the polls! An Obama/Biden ticket is one that may actually have a chance to bring about change. Ambition and experience is what we need in the White House.

APS in Hawaii   August 24th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

I received the video and yes it is was nice. However, as a REAL Democrat, I will be watching the convention for a formal apology from Obama about the dirty smear campaign tactics he used and is still doing. The 3 AM text was not scheduled for 8 AM, only a fool would believe that. Obama better come clean or he is going to lose and he will have no one to blame but himself and the arrogant elitists that surround him. What goes around comes around, and Obama better face the truth or he will end up on the short end of the stick.

Enjoy sending your kids off to die in another war, compliments of the GOP. Enjoy paying 5 dollars or more for gas. Enjoy the value of your house going down like the Titanic. Enjoy the economy compliments of a man who knows nothing about economics. Enjoy all that McCain will bring, just becuase your candidate ran a bad campaign and lost.

Natasha in tally   August 24th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

ok enough with the racist sexist remark stuff. IF the primaries were sexist that was not senator obama's fault and IF the primaries were racist that is hillary's fault for doubting hard working white america and down playing hard working black america.

The Clintons discraced this country last time they were in office and if it were not for Obama they would do it again. I dont care if he wins or not. Just as long as we do not have to deal with the Clintons again. Bill wasted so much time defending himself that he only did an 8th of what he should have done for the contry in 8 years. Hillary was out of touch the whole time trying to save face. Good ridence to bad rubish. I hope Obama wins but I will be happy with McCain for 4 years. Then Obama can run again in 2012.

Can cnn tell us how many votes Biden got in the primaries compared to Hillary. I guess his wanting to divide Iraq in three is a failure in judgement on foreign policy, hmmm isn't that why he was chosen because of his foreign policy experience. I guess it didn't workout to good for him in the primaries.

Susan   August 24th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Senator Biden is a good man but there are reasons he was rejected by American voters when he twice ran for President.

Hillary Clinton deserved to be VP. Every woman across this country should be outraged at the continued bias against women in the workplace.

Senator Biden also deserves this position but not at Hillary Clinton's expense

Obama08 but...   August 24th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

From what I understand, the makers of the Obama/Biden signs leaked the info all around Kansas City, my mom called me from MO and told me who the nominee was before it was announced by anyone. As for the release at 3:00, that was an obvious kick in the pants to Hillary and she deserved it. She's getting her payback for that "everything but the kitchen sink" strategy. I'm not crazy about Obama, but good for him for standing up to that crazy woman.

I think a bigger story is after CNN playing the game for Obama he now uses them as the excape goat for his slap at Hillary Clinton and her supporters with the 3:00 am text release . He now claims they were going to release it at 8:00 am. Could it be that the Obama camp as usual played the same tactics as they did with the racist and sexist remarks and thought how cute it would be to take one more swipe at Hillary Clinton. This man Obama and his crew just cannot get enough of rubbing it in that the democrat leadership has got his back and he can do as he pleases because all you democrats will back him no matter how and what he does. This Hillary Clinton supporter will not. Cnn how does it feel to be throwed under the bus after being in the tank for him. You know like the typical white person who raised him (GRANNY)>

Lee, New York City   August 24th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Joe is a big blow-hard that likes to hear himself talk. He plagerizes his speeches and makes off the cuff remarks that are racist and hateful.

Obama's "change" slogan has been de-railed by this choice as his VP.

Nobody takes Joe Biden seriously…he's a lightweight.

I hope McCain picks Romney, cause Biden will make him pee all over his fake, sleazy looking suit of his. Ohh, how fun it will be to watch.
