MAUMEE, Ohio (CNN) – Joe Biden hammered John McCain on the economy at his first stop Wednesday in this battleground state, criticizing the Arizona senator for only now coming around to the idea of regulation needed to avert financial crises.
“All of a sudden it’s my goodness there’s greed on Wall Street, my goodness we need common sense regulation,” Biden said.
With polls showing Barack Obama has lost his lead in Ohio, Biden is embarking on a two-day bus tour of the state.
The Delaware senator told supporters at an outdoor rally that they have a choice between those who allow corporations and the wealthy to go "unfettered” and those who want “common sense rules” to protect transparency.
“Look, if John cares so much about this now, where was he a week ago?” Biden asked. “Where was he a month ago? Where was he 5 years ago? I’ll tell you where he was, he was bragging to the folks on Wall Street, to the executives who now he calls ‘greedy.’ He was bragging to them how we’re going to shred the regulation that fetters them, that ties them down.”
“So let’s take a look at John’s conversion here,” Biden later added, “Something happened on the road to Damascus, John fell off his horse but he got back up on the same horse.”
He went on to draw parallels with McCain’s health care plan, saying that there too McCain favors de-regulation that wouldn’t allow states to protect its residents from insurance companies.
“So John, you got back on the same horse, you continue to push a plan that’s designed to de-regulate the health insurance industry,” said Biden, asking the crowd to raise their hands if they trust insurance companies to take care of their needs.
“I got one person [who] raised their hand. I got also a bridge I got to sell you and guess what? It’s in Alaska and it goes to nowhere,” he said, echoing a line Obama has been using on the stump as well.

How come the Best (worst) Political Team on Television are ALL REGISTERED DEMOCRATS? Why were ALL CNN Pundits covering the Republican Convention REGISTERED DEMOCRATS???????
BTW, Biden who? is he the guy who yelled all morning yesterday and said he doesn't know of any economist that thinks raising taxes on small business and capital gains would be BAD for the economy now????
Why are dems and liberals always so darn angry?
McShameless simply can't get away with saying he's now the champion of market regulation.
It's like saying George W Bush is a uniter and not a divider.
To Republcans trying to get elected, up is down and black is white.
Joe "HAIR PLUGS" Biden shouldn't talk about things falling off. Especially since he can't even be honest about being bald.
If the liar, pandering McBush was even half as honest as Biden. I might consider him as a real candidate. But McOil has proven time and time again that he is a liar and a cheat.
I love Joe Biden, he calls a spade a spade. Everyone should go to MSNBC and read the article "A McCain lawyer scrambles to block a Palin ethics inquiry." They are trying desperately to delay this investigation until after the election because they know she is guilty despite Palin saying she will fully cooperate with it on national television with Charles Gibson. I honestly can't believe people are considering voting for this scandal ridden, horribly inexperienced pathological liar who will give us more of the same. She is Cheyney with lipstick.
Some real issues finally-
Take him on Joe
sitting ducks are they, to much lying.
Bo08
Way to go Joe!
Blaming this on "greed" reminds me of the Futurama episode where the candidate gets up and says:
"It's time someone had the guts to stand up and say 'I'm against all those things that everyone hates!."
Way to go out on a limb McCain. Protect you deregulating record, your lobbyist buddies, and attack a generic vice instead.
Pathetic, McCain, just plain pathetic.
David
Joe "HAIR PLUGS" Biden shouldn't talk too much about things falling off. He can't even be honest about being bald.
McCain – Palin is going down in a hand basket. The more we get to kn ow Palin measures on democratics issues, the more we love her not.
The repubs are doomed this year.
Obama/Biden 08/12.
Obama/Biden08...THE CHANGE WE NEED
He's two birds away from the coockoo's nest Joe. He's already felll off his rocker.
Sarah Palin will be a deer in headlights again during the VP debate. Her memorizations on topics and finger-pointing won't get her too far.
Days and a few weeks maybe, but certainly not months or years.
Camp McCain has quite a few lobbyists on staff from the same Wall Street firms that failed, and a few others. Obama has none. What does that tell you about where each guy stands on regulating the financial industries, especially Wall Street firms.
Biden-you've sat in the Senate for 30 years-what did you do to about the meltdown on Wall St. or the loss of jobs????
This analogy–is anal.
We need a President on will reform aspects of our government and institutions that clearly are not helpful to Americans at this time.
But re-engineering government and crashing the best healthcare operation in the world with Obama and Biden in the lead and a wacko congress with Palosi (a honorary member and supporter of the Democratic Socialist Party of America) into their own wierdly socialist version of a almost capitalist nanny state–is absurd.
John could fall of the horse. He could roll into office in a wheelchair. Mr. McCain is still more honest and focused on objective management and realistic direction of the office of President–than Obama.
Now this is what you call an attack dog. Take notes Palin.
Obama lost his lead in Ohio? If this is true, the out of work, underinsured, people of Ohio DESERVE to be spat on by the GOP again!
Joe Biden is a proven leader and I am supporting this ticket.
Obama/Biden 08
You've gotta love Joe Biden. America needs to be properly polled to see how strong their faith is that McCain could fix the economy, our deteriorated global position, social security, equal pay for equal work, etc. I have ZERO faith in him, and he would never by MY president if he were elected.
I think some of what we are seeing in the plummeting stock market is specutation of this lack of faith in McCain as our leader – as his poll numbers are up. I don't think he is helping in any way.
and Biden fell off his rocker and never got back on.
Love you Joe.
It's nice to know that the guy I'm voting for has a VP that can stand on his own, understand the things he's talking about, answers questions, doesn't have to lie about his credentials. And above all is someone that I would feel safe with if something happened to Barack Obama.
Someone with common sense? McCain and moose hunter are lacking
Common sense regulation? I've never once heard "common sense" and "regulation" in the same sentence, except coming from the mouths of avowed socialists, who just wish-wish-wish we would lose our minds and establish socialism here in America.
Regulations and government meddling is the entire cause of our current problem. Fanny and Freddy and the FED, engaged in a wonderful social experiment in liberal "generosity" with other people's money, took it upon themselves to see that money was sooooo cheap so that every Harry Hard-luck and Sally Sob-story could purchase a home they could not otherwise own nor pay for. THAT'S what's created the mess we're in.
Message to government social experimenters... STOP using this nation's finances to create your liberal utopia.
Capitalism IS NOT the problem. Government do-gooders and liberalism IS the problem. Get the government out of the way (STOP rescuing failing businesses) and let the market right itself.
Way to go Joe. Obama/Biden are for America. McCain/Palin are for the good old boys and status quo!
yes he did. poor guy
Hey Biden! Dont falll yourself.
TAX SMALL BUISNESS.... Yea... that will do it...
Vote: PRESENT
America we need to wake up as a nation. While there is anything left of our great country. Lets stop the bleeding. No more lies from the Republicans.
Obama/ Biden '08
I can't wait for the debates. McCain/Palin will REALLY be up in the polls then.
Where was Biden 5 yrs. ago. Why did Wall Street give more to Obama than John McCain??????
You go Joe! Show these hypocrits for what they are. They caused this mess with their deregulation policies, and complete lack of oversight in the markets. In their "ownership society" when do they take ownership for their failed economic supply-side policeis?
The Repugnant Party brought on this calamity and needs to pay for it at the polls just like all the rest of us are paying for it in our daliy lives.
Obama/Biden in 2008 and beyond!
You are the man Senator Biden, the common man, and we are happy to have you speak for us.
The country needs the Obama/Biden ticket for such a time as this.
Biden is the ultimate Washington insider. He is supposed to bring change? If Obama was capable he would not be in the mess he is in now. He would have healed the Dem party and run with Clinton.
McCain is the one who is showing leadership and change with the Palin pick. McCain gets results and he is the only one using public funding only.
While I agree "Where was McCain?" Where was Biden? Where was Obama? All three have been part of the senate while this as been going on.
Sarah Palins resume is: beauty queen, for a short time Anchorage sports reporter, 4 years on a small town city council and 6 years as the mayor of a small town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people.
Quit frankly the thought of Ms. Palin sitting across the table from the likes of a Mahmoud Ahmadinejad chills me to the bone. Given McCains health issues and age Ms. Palin could in deed become the President of the United States. SCARY VERY SCARY.
An Aside – Allan Greenspan has stated the McCain economic policy would be disastrous. Independence
MORNING IN AMERICA 8 YEARS OF BUSH/CHENEY.
ARE YOU BETTER OFF AMERICA AFTER REPUBLICANS CONTROLLED CONGRESS? AMERICAN CAN YOU AFFORD A 3RD BUSH TERM UNDER McCAIN?
For all the "independent minds" here.
Think deep and hard, and tell me straight:
Do you really think that Sen. McCain will reach "across the aisle" ?
Remeber what he said twice (also stated by his surrogates), that the tone of his campaign is so negative because Sen Obama refused to agree to townhall meetings.
This is really "either you play by my rules or esle..." in my book, and I am afraid to even think what's going to happen if Iran, Russia or China don't play by his rules.
So please bare this in mind when you are inside that voting booth, because the whole world will be affected, really...
MCain and Plain don't have a clue but wants Obama and Biden to lead and they follow by stealing there words and makin it look like they were on top of things. People Palin/McCain are phonies waiting to see what the first one does so they can do better. McCain/Palin get your own ideas and stop feeding off the Democrats.
Joe, seriously. You're a good guy. You should have been at the top of the ticket instead of Obama Wonka. Of course Hillary should have been on top of the ticket if all three of you were to be chosen.
NOBAMA!
Don't Drink the Koolaid!
Karl Rove may be the one the tell repubs to stop the push polling, cause the repubs are going down and no amount of push polling can help. Rove, please tell them that these tricks are beyond the pale.
Go Joe- you da man!!
attaboy biden!! tell it like it is!!!
gallup poll today – obama 47% – mccain 45%...
obama/biden '08!
In Sen Biden, we have someone who has long worked with Sen McCain, and who knows the stands McCain has taken over these many decades.
It is nice to have a reasonably-worded push-back against McCain's flip flopping here, isn't it. CNN's own FACT CHECK concedes that McCain's position is shifting, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but he still says "Wish I didn't have to do it." He's trying to have it both ways, a very immature and transparent stand for someone so high in politics. I'm sure that's all he has energy for.
Way to go Joe!!!
The color of that horse was "PALE"
Scary........very scary.
Go Obama/Biden '08
She is not only a lady she is smart too. Palin is a lady to ride the political trail with McCain all the way to the White House. Unlike Obama who was all for the bailout to spend some more of the taxpayers money to help the rich and do nothing for the poor old boy who is losing his home. If the Government is going to pay our tax dollars to big financial bankers then something should be done with the bankers in insuring that they do everything possible to help keep these homeowners from losing their homes. They could help by lowering their payments or some other way of fixing their loans were it is feasible for them to pay. After all it is our money they're playing with. We as taxpayers should have a say. TO START WITH SAY NO TO OBAMA AND BIDEN AND YES TO McCAIN AND PALIN.
Go go go, go for it Joe!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08
Biden
Obama does not even know who AIG is. Obama knows nothing.
Good job Joe. Point out the maverick moves that John McCain likes to brag about....only they are blowing up in his face!
Sersiously. The way McCain goes on and on about wallstreet you'd think that he doesn't have any lobbyists from wall street on his campaign staff or that he and his wife haven't benefitted profusely from the lack of regulation and wall-street-gone-wild financial decadence of the last 8 years. I"m sure his money is safe, so he can say whatever he wants and hope that no one will actually think about how ridiculous and hypocritical his phony outrage is. As if he hasn't been in congress all this time? as if he's not a member of the party that's at fault for the economic mess? He may have been a "maverick" (before this presidential campaign that is) about some issues – the war, torture, immigration....But he has not in any way shape or form been a maverick against the consolidation of power on wallstreet and the sorry implications that has had on our economy.
CNN don't keep me in moderation PLEASE
Biden's been hiding and keeping quiet. Good thing too. He should have stayed that way. The saying goes, "if you don't have something constructive to say, then keep quiet'. He should HEED this. Again, WHAT HAS BIDEN BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 29 + YEARS IN THE SENATE?CONGRESS? Present? whoooa .... Remember – it's about EXPERIENCE, NOT A PARTY. Be careful what talk you listen to before you vote. Talk is cheap and EXPERIENCE COUNTS. Also, remember there are some changes you might NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH. BECAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR you could get something that will be hard to live with!
Stand up for America for Proud Americans
I love Joe Biden's delivery of his speeches! He's so right on about everything and he doesnt hold back the truth. He's blunt and precise, this is exactly the person who Obama needs on his team. I've liked him from the moment I heard he was being vetted and I truely believe that Obama made the right choice!
Obama/Biden '08
He is RIGHT. People, listen up. Say what you will about petty character differences between Obama and McCain.
McCain is a flip flopper.
He was for deregulation, now he is against it. He supported immigration policy, now he is against it. He was against Bush's tax cuts, now he is for them.
Come on. This is easy...
The media should lay off Sarah.
The Media fawned over Obama and could not sing HIS praises enough- even when he said nothing specific about nothing at all.
The media fell for the vague, rhetorical speeches.
Sarah, isn't given any leeway for vague rhetoric- the media DEMANDS that as VP nominee she PROVE herself MORE capable than Obama needs to be for POTUS.
How ironic.
Even Factcheck shows that McCain has consistently been against regulation... until he sensed in the political winds that the people want regulation of the banking industry, because there is disaster without it.
Yes, and he fell right on his face.
Not only do Obama-Biden get it. Biden shows that you can actually work in DC without being corrupted by it. Obama meanwhile shows the exceptional intelligence and quickness to handle increasingly complex issues.
Palin is good for State level like Bush then. McCain is just too behind the times.
Biden is so pathetic. obama truly looks down his nose at you and if by chance that disgrace gets in the white house he'll have you sitting in the broom closet because he'll cane NOTHING about what you've got to say. He used you Biden........he used you.
McCain and Palin will surely put the country on the bridge to nowhere. The Democrats aren't buying into McCain and Palin and neither is the GOP. Republicans aren't going to suffer financial doom and they too are supporting Obama. WAKE UP AMERICANS.
pound pound pound away every day. do not slack up.
Joe Biden is the man
Corporations have two things they need to look out for to stay afloat: themselves, and their shareholders. That's all they need to care about, and that's all most do. There are some that will pay attention to environmental concerns, or the concerns of the customers, but for the most part these go ignored. The government needs to be there to keep them in check. If a corporation could, they would find a way to channel money directly from the consumer into a bank account, but government regulation attempts to limit that, and for the most part, where competition AND regulation exists, a better environment for the consumer exist.
keep hitting him with the truth. He needs a big bump on the head to get in touch with the common folks
who held the senate and congress while this was going on.. don't put the blame on just one person there are many to blame for this mess
LIKE THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE....... FIRE THEM ALL AND START OVER
I'm a good Dad and would ride Am-Trak. Can I be VP? I could keep the world hating us ,if I had to ,also.
To all senior citizens on social security:
You know if the repugs would have been able to push that legislation to privatize social security just think of the devastation that would take place for millions of senior citizens today. Mcwar stood by bush when he proposed it.
this is why Bush/McCain wanted to privatize social security.... that money could have bought them more time before everything crumbled... so when Bush started preaching about privatizing, that's when they knew the deck of cards was going to fall...
mcbush and his pitbull does not care about elderly people. Be warned.
I do not think Americans realize the full impact of the bankruptcy of the
Banks!!!! Instead of the Government, "just insuring" the banks, the
Americans own it. The taxpayers will feel the brunt. Bush let the CEO
rob the banks with their Million Dollar Bonuses-even when they were
fired-they got a bonus!!!! Thank you Mr. Bush. And McCain and Palin
won't tell the truth about their party antics for the rich!
Obama Biden or BUST. 2008
This deregulation mess was caused by the Repugs deregulating everything (i.e. "big government". ) Regulations that were put in place after the Great Depression. Partly authorized by Graham one of McCains "friends." Now we are paying for their stupid policies and Americans should see the difference between Repugs and Democrats. But this is the same electorate that put C- student Bush in for 8 years.
Seriously? Is hair plugs the best thing that Republicans can come up with for their Biden attacks? Seriously, people?
What did Biden do to stop the meltdown? HE VOTED AGAINST THE DEREGULATION THAT CAUSED THE MELTDOWN IN THE FIRST PLACE. If we'd LISTENED to the congressional Democrats WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
Democrats are arguing that Obama is qualified to be POTUS- but he is even less qualified than Palin- and she is just VP nominee.
Obama and Biden have no right to slam John McCain on the economy when after yesterdays huge market disappointment, he partied with celebrities, charging $31,000 a head...well $28,500 + 2,500 for the Streisand concert...now let me think....what is his biggest concern...the economy or just making more money for his campaign.
People are starving, the food banks are empty in Houston. I can't get a grant for my daughter to go to school because I make $54,000 per year....that is ridiculous.... and he has the nerve to charge that kind of money for a few hours, pictures and a concert....I'm so over this entire campaign......do any of the candidates really deserve our vote....scary.....
Poor ol' Joe, he's become so irrelevant. Now's about the time he will become frustrated and say something he, and what's his running mates name? – might regret!
Careful, there Joe.
You're not too far from hitting the ground off of your own horse.
My gosh, McCain, what has happened to you??!!!
Biden should talk- he is on the side of the large credit card companies that charge ever higher interest rates.
Obama too voted against a bill to lower the MAX interest rates that credit card issuers could charge.
Go Joe! Thanks for being a sensible VP!
If McCain fell off his horse he couldn't get back up. His "Life-Alert" better work- "Help me Sarah! I've fallen and I can't get up!"
"Sorry John....I would but I have a Moose Hunt to attend" Sarah says while putting on her lip-stick.
Obama-Biden 08
Errrrr Hey Joe, there is no bridge!
The term, "I have some land for sale in Florida", means there really is land, it's just under water 4 months out of the year. And that just doesn't mix and match with a non-existent bridge in Alaska. Even I know that.., you see now?
Love how McSame is trying to peddle himself as an agent of "change" when he, his party and his minions like Phil "Mental Recession/Nation of Whiners" Gramm fought hard to deregulate the banks on Wall Street who are collapsing and draggin the economy down! NOT GOING TO WORK, GRAMPS! AND TAKE YOUR TROJAN MOOSE WITH YOU!
At least this discussion is better than Sarah's first questions....Rididculous to see Americans and Rupublicans celebrating first answer. I did that to my baby boy's first word. Wake up people what is she hidding when wont grant interviews.
Yup...tell it like it is brother!!
OBAMA/BIDEN
Joe is telling it like it is. Anyone that believes McCain's flip flop view now, is ignorant. He will say anything to try to pick up a few votes. I was laughing at the article about wife Cindy complaining about being questioned on The View. I mean, how dare they ask questions to a candidate for President of the U.S. !!
Two Words....
D E M O C R A T I C C O N G R E S S.
Where is the regulation of the lending industry?
Where is the regulation of the insurance industry?
Oh yeah! Lobbyist have kept any regulatory legislation from making out of ANY Democrat's office!!!
Joe Biden is a blow hard!!!
I hate CNN. Everyday, I see the same hateful and disparaging posts from Republican operatives, but yet the never print my comments....back to the huffingtonpost.com.
NOBAMA!!! is that best you bush loving morons can do?
McCain, Palin....McPAIN is going down. Watching team gramps / bimbo fizzle is pure entertainment.
Terry NJ, hummmmm Joe is a Good Guy, but Obama is not? Why, don't just say what you really mean?
You mention Biden, Clinton and Obama... All Democrats, who pretty much share the same Ideas as the others. They all agree on what needs to be done for this Country, just have different opinions n how to get it done.
So Biden and Clintn are right, but Obama is not???
He isn't right because he's not White.
Bring back Hillary.
It is digusting how the Obamabots who trashed Hillary arenow blogging how great she is.
We Hillary supporters will NOT vote for the LEAST qualified candidate out there and his same old white man in washington side kick
Yeah right. Waste time leaving a comment, so the republican moderator can post puma comments all day.
Go Joe! Thanks John McCain for taking away Government oversight of major financial institutions. You are showing your true colors. Flip-Flop; now you want us to look over their shoulders. It's too late now. The damage has been done. Anyone that votes for McCain/Palin is asking for four more years of our country headed in the wrong direction. And, I'm getting a little tired of the CELEBRITY Palin being on the front cover of every magazine; but not able to answer any question without rehearsal or being told exactly what to say.
lol Typical liberal, screaming and red-faced about issues he doesn't even understand. The democrats have no idea where they stand on any issues, their entire campaign is based on making everyone believe that McCain is Bush and that McCain is to blame for every problem in the world. I've never seen a more ridiculous campaign & they don't understand that it's not helping them, it's making the independent / uncertain voters swing to McCains side (seen the polls lately where the democrats are falling further & further behind?). Since this campaign started I've said that obama is his own worst enemy & will lose the election just by being himself. Now Biden may be obamas own worst enemy.
I read about pools etc,,,I an 55 years old been registered to vote since I 18 and I have never been polled.
I do find it interesting that if you look at the numbers of peopel who were pooled they do not in my opinion give a represensentative sample.
Go Biden
How are McCain and "Church Lady" going to get us out of this recession ????
Maybe they'll start another war. The Bomb Bomb Iran joke probably went over quite well with McCain's Neo-Con bosses – I'm sure the Neo-Cons are even more thrilled about having a new poodle (Palin) – one that's even more clueless and malleable than Bush #43.
Rush Limbaugh says he has all the answers,hes my idol and savior.I believe everything he says because I cant think for myself.He says Joe Biden is a bad man so I will believe him.
Jolly Old, you are clueless! It is your conservative party that deregulated and managed to reverse legislation that stemmed from the depression days, which would have prevented some of these problems. McCain's financial advisor Graham was responsible for pushing through a deregulation bill that has been catastrophic. This is not the fault of liberals, it is the fault of the present administration.
They ignored the lessons of the past and forgot that greed is inherent in the system and. Some government safeguards must be in place or this is what happens. But then again, when government is in bed with the people who will benefit, what do you expect. Get your facts straight please.
Way to go JOE!
We live in a small world. I get that we need global economic interactions ... but for crying out loud, we've sold our Country!
Too much is outsourced, too many good people have had their jobs sent to other countries. The returning profit was to so FEW greedy folks that it was not enough to keep the economic ball rolling. Do they have no concience about what they have done?! If they did they would not give, and/or take, the huge pensions and just walk away.
It appears that we no longer have control over anything; financial, jobs, and consumer goods, as long as the money pours in to the right people, it's all been good .... NOT!!!
China sends us toys coated with date-rape drugs ... where is the response, let alone the OUTRAGE?! Toys with lead are still pouring in to the USA from China. WHY?
Too little is now MADE IN THE USA.
We need CHANGE. I vote for the ticket with a plan, and the intelligence to put together the team needed to begin the corrections we need ....
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008
Nothing but a lot of bitterness, nothing but a bunch of hatred from the Obamabots. I was on the fence about who to vote for but the Democrats have shown: they got nothin'. And they are Hypocrites. Sorry, I just can't vote for your guy because of the general mean-spiritedness of Democrats. So we will be stuck with McCain. And by the way, the emptyness of Obama is now plain for all but the blinded-by-bias to see. He is all about making promises that he has no plan to actually back up. You all can dish it out but you can't take it. You say anything and everything about McCain and Palin, but you respond to counter-attacks on Obama and Biden like a 3-year old having a fit.
Bill,
This goes 15 years back, so Obama have not really been a big part of the problem.
And with a republican lead congress for a long time(until 2006) it is a little hard to get things true, even if we did not have bush on top..
And McCain did not even think anything was wrong with the economy, until wall street crumbled..
Where was Biden 5 years ago? He was in a Republican controlled Senate. On the other side of the building was a Repbulican controlled House. And down the road about a 1/2 mile was a Republican controlled white house.
Don't blame Biden and the Dems for this one. It's all on the policies of 2001-2007.
Go Joe!!!!!! Its going to be hard for McCain to get any traction over his lipstick on a pig-type of non-stories, now. Ur gonna have to get ur butt up to that podium and answer for the sins of ur party's past.
Eight is enough! just say no to John McSame. Americans can't afford another 4 years of DC Republicans fleecing our national treasury.
Sorry about being away so long folks, it's kinda of crazy here in Houston. Thanks for all of your prayers. Now to my comment: Joe is dead on and some people just can't handle the blunt truth. And that is why Obama chose him as his VP, someone who will not tell Obama what he want's to hear, but will tell him the truth. If Joe still has it in him to run in 2016, I will be voting for him, for sure.
I can't believe there isn't more said about McCain's support of deregulation of health insurance and privatizing Medicare as Biden touched on here. This is a pet project for repubs and, as a health care administrator for 16 years, I know for a fact that health insurers need regulating more than anyone...at least as much as Wall Street. Why has no one mentioned that McCain was the ONLY senator who didn't vote...didn't even show up...for the July Medicare vote that the NY Times called "crucial?" For God's sake...even Ted Kennedy showed up! On this close vote where one senator could make the difference either way, McCain chose to sit it out because it would have cost him support no matter which way he voted. Is this what we want in a President? Flip Flop Flip Flop
Biden is the 3rd most liberal Senator in Washington.
Oh! What a nightmare? Wake me up I must be dreaming.
LOL I LOVE THAT LAST LINE OF THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE!!!
WOOHOO!!
I smell a tax increase with all of these bail-outs. It seems almost inevitable. Kinda funny how this is all being done right before an election. I feel sorry for the next president and congress. It's almost like they are being set up for failure.
With regards to "falling off the horse", I think all politicians have. That's what happens when greed becomes more important than people.
Joe Biden is a VP candidate that gives us the confidence that US will not have another disastrous VP. After Cheney as VP for the last four years, Obama showed he cares about Americans in selecting a VP in Joe Biden.
A bad VP choice can lead the country in the wrong direction. Cheney reminds us of that.
Biden is a great pick for Vice President and this showing exactly why. He is doing a great job on the campaign trail and actually delivering a message that should resonate with voters. I hope it sinks in and the very people who whined and complained about Obama being too much of a celebrity realize that's exactly what they're all clamoring towards in Palin. Obama and Biden will help all of America. McCain and Palin will do exactly what had already been done.
To Steve in NY – Oh they will probably just pray.
Let's blame John McCain for tornadoes and hurricanes too. I think those are the only things Blowhard Biden have left out of his "National Blame Game".
He has nothing good to say about his own campaign (I wonder why), so just keep whining, and blaming, and distracting, and preaching.
That's all he has.
Here is my parody for the "Go Sarah!":
How come the worst Political Team on Fox News are ALL REGISTERED NEOCONS? Why were ALL FOX Pundits covering the Obama's campaign REGISTERED NEOCONS???????
BTW, Sarah who? is she the women who keep reading the same lines from the convention all morning yesterday and said she doesn't want to cooperate the troopergate investigation and lie about the bridge to nowhere????
Why are Repugs and neocons always so darn sleezy?
HEY BIDEN! DONT FELL YOURSELF
I really want ot know who Palin appeals to.
She for sure is not a good mother, leaving a mentally challenged 4 month old baby for power.
She went to five colleges for a 4 year program and graduated in 6 years, at one point failed out of school.
Teenage pregnacy and dysfunctional family is now GOP values.
Lies upon lies upon lies even when caught on camera.
Abuse of power when outlook is bleak blame Obama.
Insult everybody. Tell lies about countries you've visited.
Even to her supporters you need to pause and really examine if she really reflects your value!!!!!!!!
Why did you vote for the Bridge to Nowhere, Joe.
I'll be glad when you're out of work come November.
Someone asked where Senator Biden has been the last 30 years re: this Wall Street mess – let me tell you where he was – fighting against de-regulation of the markets with fellow democrats in congress. They were unsuccessful. This economic meltdown rests soley in the hands of the Bush administration, the last six years of a republican controlled legislative branch, and our own greed and ignorance.
Hey JoeZ, that was a beautiful regurgitation of republican talking points that contain half-truths and misleading statements. Heck, with that kind of talent parroting what you've been told to say, you might get yourself tapped as the next VP candidate!
i dont know where people get facts and claim Mccain is honest and honorable. McCain himself declared yesterday that one of his ads against Obama isnt true(one saying Obama called Sarah a pig) and all his followers in lies still standing saying Obama did. I say the "I am John McCain and i disapproved the message i approved" He didnt call her a pig, it was an ad error...lol...lol
What the heck is this quoting so much of the same crap, can't he be original. Yeah lets blame the republicans for all the woes that the Clinton administration left behind also. He was busy guys with Monica. The Obama/Biden ticket is getting movie stars to endorse them, I mean they have multipule personailites. And all the money the public pays them to be schizo/paranoid people, like Barb stris. That is right not a typo. We know that the liberal Hollywood people in office that wont hold them accountable. Miss Barbara is hosting this gala for Obama, and she has problems with being around people. HELLO what does that say about her stable little sane world. Just because they make movies and can act do not make them experts at politics people get a cllue.
Did you see that Barack is now up in most polls taken in the last five days? The are two ways BO will win. Concentrate on the issues and tell the truth. The McCain campaign can't handle both because it goes against the fundamentals of lobbysts!
That's right Joe. To think that this old fool thinks he can run the country with that trigger-happy dimwit.
In my opinion, McCain was never on a horse. He's a coward and a cheat. He pretends he's a man of honor, but how honorable is it to leave your wife and three kids?
McCain is a pain, and Americans need to wake up.
Obama/Biden 08
Hey Joe, you fell off the horse when you became the VP with Mr. "On the Job Training". Remember that from the primaries? Regarding the economy, socialism is not the answer. Pelossi/ Reed/Obama would be a disaster.
McCain is now the biggest McLiar !!
Biden is full of it. Lets not forget the man is famous for plagarism...he's a theft and sexist. Some of you people need to open your eyes and quiting supporting Obama./Biden because its the "Cool" thing to do and because you heard some idiot celebrity say so. This common sense folks...Obama/Biden will ruin this nation and smile about it when its over!
Can't WAIT to see Joe in the debates against parrot Palin...can you say TOAST? Stick a fork in them (McCain Palin), they're done.
mccain too old for me!
I love it. A vp candidate thats actually open, honest and candid with his audience. Now if we can just get that other lady candidate to open up, oh yeah I forgot, she did answer one off the cuff question. And it only took her 3 WEEKS.
To sick of it all,
Get educated!!!!! Unless you are rich, then America don't matter to you!!!!
Did any body hear Palin on the trail yesterday?
She said wall street need to be regulated to keep the government out of the private sector...................She is so clueless
Watch it on
http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/index.jhtml?episodeId=185157
Mr. & Mrs. Duck and Dodge were on Good Morning America, and they were true to themselves. They told a bunch of lies and pretended to answer questions that they had no intention of answering.
The first question to McCain should have been "why are you lying about what you said on Monday? Didn't you say that the fundamentals of the economy are strong?"
John is a phoney and a fake and the sooner he is exposed for the coward that he is the better.
Obama/Biden 08
Everybody puts their foot in their mouth sometime, but Joe Biden knows what he's talking about, unlike Govenor Palin. Nobody should be a heartbeat away from the presidency who just spent a week trying to learn about foreign policy with the help of Bush advisors and flashcards. Sarah Palin is an insult. When I go to the dentist, I want someone who knows something about teeth. And when I vote for president, I vote for someone who knows more than me, not someone I can go hunting with. I might not know exactly what the Bush Doctrine is, but I sure as heck expect the four candiates for the white house to know.
I don't see how Biden have the nerve to come out and attack McCain.
If McCain is geriatric, so is Biden. Matter of fact he was in the senate longer than McCain. The Obama people is blaming McCain for EVERY SINGLE THING THAT HAS GONE WRONG IN THIS COUNTRY. What about the do-nothing senate? Do they get blamed for anything?
Obama is very much an unfair campaigner. He will say ANYTHING against his opponent. It is sickening to be taken for a fool.
Besides, ladies.....with regard to Hillary Clinton and Palin ...... for obama, it is one down and one to go. Easy, isn't it.
Tell it like it is, Joe!
McCain was Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee for years and years. This is his disaster being cleaned up.
Ohio – what´s going on there with the polls ? Are you so well settled that everybody earns more than 250 000 bucks ? Then please buy the bridge forward towards the past 8 years.
Wow, the Senator from MBNA is calling for financial reform? If I were a banker, I'd be asking for my contributions back.
I see more and more calls for "regulation" and "government control"
Folks in eastern europe had that for years. Ask them how they feel about it.
I love poster Palin 2012- nothing but a naive Obamabot thinking no one can see through the ploy of pretending to be a Palin supporter and totally Anti-Hillary. Yeah right. We believe THAT.
We Hillary supporters, have been around a LONG time- we are not so easily manipulated as you Obama supporters are. We think for ourselves and act for ourselves. No one "controls" us.
We HRC supporters- will ALWAYS vote for HRC- and we will always vote on issues- not image.
Get a clue- Obama is a dictator wannabe who does not appeal to TRUE democrats.
Anyone who TELLS his or her supporters WHAT to do- on a daily basis- does NOT believe in the right to free thought, free speech and the right of the people to vote. Obama inspires his hateful army of thugs to agitate for national division and to rally to support Obama.
HRC NEVER did that. She never asked her supporters to go out there and do this or that on her behalf. She never tried to control her supporters. She never instructed people on what to say or do.
Obama is a disgrace. A egomaniacal person who wants to be supreme leader.
The media is always bashing McCain.
Look on the bright side, $85B bailout on AIG. 305 million people in the U.S.
Each person paid $278.69 to save AIG.
AIG stock is selling at $2.40 a share.
Every man, woman, and child now owns 116 shares in AIG!
Talk about socialism... AIG is now The People's Insurance Company. This goes nicely with The People's Bank and The People's Mortgage Company.
When do we get our dividend checks?
McCain Shifts Opposition on Government Bailout of Insurance Giant
from abcnews.com
Tuesday, several women's rights groups endorsed Obama and stated that simply having a woman on the ticket isn't enough to overlook McCain's poor record on women's rights. In response, McCain's campaign seemed to suggest that these organizations really don't advocate women's rights since they don't support Palin.
Why aren't you covering this story, CNN?
WHY DONT YOU O.B. SUPPORTERS GET A LIFE. ALL YOU ARE IS FULL OF HATE. THATS WHY AMERICA IS GETTING TIRED OF O.B. AND HIS SUPPORTERS. THATS WHY HE IS GOING TO LOOSE IN NOV.
THe Blame Game – that's what's become of the OBama-Biden ticket – Blowing their own horns while blaming everything on the Bush years. Obama raising millions upon millions of dollars on himself while people are losing their jobs, their homes, their retirement monies. Obama has collected so much money he should be bailing out Wall Street. I think the guy is one big hypocrite.
Can we get a list of all the companies that were shipped to China? I would love to boycott them, starting with Corning.

Silver State Bank was one of the banks in Nevada that just failed. How many people have heard John McCain's son resigned from the board just before it failed?
YES! Go Joe! Tell it like it is and don't stop! John W McBush needs to be called out on his crap EVERYDAY!
OBIDEN 08!
Just say NO to UNstable-UNable 08!
Well done JOE i can't wait no more i need you AMERICA need you!
That's the Republicans' MO. Let's deregulate open up the markets and everything will be ducky. It will all sort itself out magically. Well, we see where that's gotten us. Have we forgotten those regulations were there for a reason? Did we learn nothing from the Great Depression?
AMERICA RESPECTS JOHN McCAIN.
AMERICA LOVES SARAH PALIN.
Joe who?
McCain: Are those of us who are working hard and getting less due to this lowsy economy still just a bunch of whiners?
Hey Joe, where's the 4 yr. old granddaughter you trotted out yesterday?Poor kid, was she supposed to neutralize the Palin clan? HRC got pilloried for "pimping" Chelsea, but when BO or Joe does it, aren't they just the cutest things?
to "I love my country"
I question which country it is. Venezuela?
Citing MSNBC for fact is like citing Fox News for liberal reasoning.
For all you Obamanots out there, why can't you just come out and admit you are socialists? It's all right, you even have friends in Congress.
Yes! The McShame and Liarsarah are on the brink of being exposed.
Ohio is for Obama,
BTW my cell phone has not ring to be survyed.
By the way, President Bush is missing in action. Where the hell is he? Why isn't he campaigning with the other liar, McPain?
Republicans are insane if they think we're giving the country back to people who ran it in the ground.
Obama/Biden 08
The polls rely on landlines, and young people (with cell phones) will vote for Obama/Biden.
He CAN change Washington without letting Washington change
him! (from Sen. Obama's intro. for Biden) Senator Biden you've gained my respect just like you earned the respect of your constituents by showing honesty and integrity and thoughtful reflection when making decisions. Everytime I hear you speak or learn more about you, it just convinces me more of the wisdom of Senator Obama's selection of you. I am so sorry your friend John has fallen off the horse. He will be held accountable some day in this world or the next.
Go Biden!!!
we need YOUand OBAMA to get out of this out of control crazy situation. The RACE is the factor that you guys' struggle as much as nobody wants to admit and if GOP wins... by all means the rest of the world will try to go by without US and what US can offer to the world.... misery, lie, hypocricy....Please stop the downfall of America and these poor souls sucking into GOP ticket need your help!!
Hit em hard Joe.
If Most Americans would just focus on the issues (and not all of this other foolishness), then this election would not even be close.
McCain / Palin have no answers for the economy, healthcare, etc.
Americans wake up!
Democrats '08
Spin this Obama supporters -
Carly Fiorina said that neither McCain, Palin, OBAMA, or BIDEN were qualified to run a major corporation.
Hillary Clinton said that OBAMA in not qualified to run the country.
Joe Biden said that OBAMA in not qualified to run the country.
Guess what … All 3 agree that OBAMA is not qualified.!!!
I love HRC.
She and Palin are not the same people- NOT EVEN in the same party.
So why compare?
BUT.... HRC should have kept her commitment and not canceled her appearance JUST because of Palin.
I believe in bipartisanship on the issues. I thought that is what Obama promised.
Biden is more dead than McCain.
And Obama is less qualified than Palin
Yes you tell them Joe. That's 3 times and McCain has struck-out with being able to reasonate a sense of urgency about the economy. Twice on his own, and once by his top economic "advisor" who labelled Americans as whinners.
GOOOOO JOE!
A top campaign adviser said Fiorina will be punished for her candid opinions:
“Carly will now disappear,” this source said. “Senator McCain was furious.” Asked to define “disappear,” this source said, adding that she would be off TV for a while – but remain at the Republican National Committee and keep her role as head of the party’s joint fundraising committee with the McCain campaign.
Fiorina was booked for several TV interviews over the next few days, including one on CNN. Those interviews have been canceled.
The problem with this country is people only see Democrat or Republican and will exclusively support their party only till death do you part. All these comments say the same thing, story after story. Are you all that easily convinced there is no wrong in your own party?
Biden is McPalin' and I'm McVoting.
i like this joe biden, that's what i'm talking about. i like the biblical comparison. mclame has no clue, lying can never get you far in life, soon or later it will catch you. senator mcclueless, your two weeks or fame is now over.
Whoever believes that McCain, who is an American Ayatollah Khomeini will reform the country is probably off his mind. His reforms will move the country back to the past eight years.
Joe, compare to Palin you are so boring!!!! even your image make my dog yawns!!!!!
The Obama campaign has fallen off it's horse- or is that celebrity bandwagon?
Please, everyone, quit bashing me. You wanted an interview, I gave you one. I'm even taking a question or two from real live people today! So there! I can see freakin' Russia from my back porch and next week they're even going to let me meet some people from other countries. Ha, ha, laugh's on you liberal America! And about that little investigation, betcha nothing happens to me or my first dude. So there! I'll wave my guns and bible and the freakin' heck with all of you!
I predict, if this election is perceived by Americans to be tampered with or stolen, we are headed for a Civil War. Let's pray this election is determined by the voters whether Obama or McCain wins and not end up being at war with one another. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Oh, that's right, the guy who's been in the Senate for almost 4 decades. We want CHANGE! Senator Biden's lifetime in Congress combined with Obama's experience of campaigning for President for 19 months, how will that help us?
Forget Palin and Biden, in a matchup with McCain and Obama, I just can't vote for Obama.
McCain/Palin '08
Johnny-Come-Lately McCain on regulation is like the fire chief who went around starting fires so that he could come along later and be the hero by putting them out.
John McCain is JUMPING off his de-regulatory horse, now that it's politically advantageous.
But you are off your "rocker". Just where have you been all this time Mr. Biden. Have you done anything lately while in the Senate? I know Obama has done squat, but you now have been around for years.
Obama will not fix this economy – he will put us deeper in the hole by taxing us to death. You just might get what you wish for people.
Joe John wasn't on a horse when he fell. He just said he was. Oh probably didn't fall just said he did. Did not need to get up as he was in one of his sevey houses in the Mountains of Arizona counting the money he got from Keating back when they raded the savings and loan. Yep this man is a crusader and we can all trust him to be honest and do what he says. I think it was just a day ago he admitted he lies, but it is not his fault. I mean if Obam,a would just stand beside him on stage he would,t need to lie. I know all this is true because his campaign told me on his newest invention the blackberry.
We dont need POW IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!
Ofcourse Lynn Forester de Rothschild doesn't support Obama, it's her family that helped to create the federal reserve bank who's members earn interest on every single dollar that is printed in the United States. So everytime Bush borrows money for another War Bill, everytime we bail out another coorporation, everytime they borrow billions of dollars from the federal reserve bank this stupid, arrogant, uppity, pasty white woman get's a fat check in the mail along with everyone else in her family. She realizes just like all the other fat cats that her family faces some serious threats to their control of the money circle if Obama is elected. Heck the Clinton's are part of the institution as well, why do you think this dumb woman was backing Hillary to begin with? Not because she's a woman or a democrat or because she agrees with her on the issues, but because they are elitists doing anything they can to retain their strangle hold on the American monetary system which is a complete fraud and con. Families like the Rothschild's and Bush's have been trying to create a federal reserve banking system for decades before the finally succeeded in the 1930's. They rigged the great depression in order to create the federal reserve bank which leands money to America for interest on every dollar printed. So tell me, how can America ever get out of debt to the federal reserve bank if every single dollar we borrow has interest automatically??? This is exactly the point, if Obama is elected he will start to regulate the federal reserve bank or do away with it all together. Billionaires that are tied directly to the federal reserve bank would be threatened with the potential loss of billions more dollars. Lynn won't have it and so she must therefore endorse a liar, cheater, and thief to the White House, as long as it is someone who is in the circle of Institution of the elite of America. Obama is literally clashing with the institution of wealthy elitist whites that have run this country since it's creation and the institution will defend itself at any cost!!! Americans really need to wake up and pull the curtain away from their eyes and see this election for what it is, if Obama wins, the institution crumbles and the Rothschilds and many like them face the loss of power, control, influence, and most of all MONEY!!! If McCain wins then everything is all good for another four years. I can't believe the voters are so ignorant they can not see through this obvious con job. The republican party doesn't represent it's constituents. It represents about 100 super wealthy families who's financial pictures depend on having someone in the white house that will play their cards and their cards only. Obama is an outsider and not one to be trusted by the elite who truly run this country. It's the same reason whu both Kennedy's were killed, because they didn't support the institution's agenda (Vietnam War) just like Obama is going against their grain. They can not trust him to keep up the con if he is elected so if I was Obama I would be very concerned for my safety. These people have no morals and regard for human life, they will do anything to retain control and I worry for Mr. Obama's safety on a daily basis.
OBAMA-BIDEN 2008-2012!!!
.....Phantom of the Oprah ......
Hmmm. You don't sound like a Hillary supporter.
You sound like an angry Republican plant who has had too much water.
Yea OK! And we believe everything he says too. That dingbat couldn't convince me he's about the kind of change we need no matter what he says. How many times has he bucked his own party and went with the other side because it was the right thing to do?
That's what we need is someone not in the parties back pocket. There's only 2 candidates who can make that claim without lying and there's running together.
I love this man, I just love him. If America does not elect this team to govern this country it would be very sad. I know it is going to be hard no matter who is in office but I would love to have someone who does not remind me of the last 8 years. Wake up America!!!!!!!!!!
Obama/Biden
Coming from the whipping boy of the credit card industry, this is a joke. I haven't seen Biden or Obama out there screaming we need more regulation the last 4 years. I haven't seen the Democratically controlled Congress rushing out to do anything to fix the problem in the last 2 years.
This is the year for women to be heard.
Obama played a dangerous game when he bashed and insulted and mocked and jeered HRC and all the women who supported her.
Combined with all the low income blue collar workers that he demeaned and ridiculed.... THAT is a lot of Democrats.
Way to go Obama- deride those voters that you need to have on your side. They are so stupid that they will vote for you ANYway. I mean... what choice do they have? Well the base may no longer be the base.
Go Obama-Biden..the only logical, safe, competent choice for America.
So glad to see some real brains, integrity and gravitas on the VP ticket. It helps to know we would be in good hands if something happened to the President. Can't say the same about the GOP ticket.
Joe Biden is the REAL "Straight Talk Express".
Biden who??? For someone falling off their horse he is doing quite well in the polls and leading BHO in many of them.
PUMA
Too bad Senator Biden isn’t the nominee instead of Obama; I would have supported Senator Biden. But, once again we Democrats have squandered a great opportunity in favor of a fairy tale. Uggghhhh... When will we ever learn?
which party people choose in their personal time should be respected and the choice doesn't /shouldn't affect their professional aspects as journalists. why accuse them guilty before proven? because the rest of us don't like to hear anything we don't like? sigh, it's horrific to see this great nation we've built now filled with people who vote base on gender, race & personalities... even the rest of the world (3rd world nations included) understand how crucial this 2008 election is to our nation and the world. yet, we the U. S. citizens cave into cultural war in this election, making important decisions base on smears, bias-party views and NOT the important agendas. don't blame the world if we act like fools because it's by our own choice. seeing so many people not recognizing the importance to work with other nations, still believing we, the USA will always be #1 even though the world has proven otherwise is truly sad. sad to see our great nation drowning in such naive mentality. wake up and smell the coffee! we can, by facts, become a 2nd rated nation if we don't vote for the person who bring about authentic changes. travelling the world for work, i only hope we, the Americans can wake up and get our country back to its greatness again.
ta ta ~
Biden still making some noise?
When is Biden going to honorably drop out of the race for personal reasons? He's got this month to do it.
It's only Hillary Clinton that can blunt the momentum of Sarah Palin and if the Democrats want to win, they must do what they've got to do and make Biden drop out quickly.
Remember, McCain wouldn't have picked Palin if Obama had picked Hillary.
The only political death blow to McCain is to neutralize Palin and it's only Hillary presence on the ticket can do that. Period.
Biden promised us all a toaster, told someone in a wheelchair to stand up, uhbama has campaigned in 57 states and called small town America bitter.
Wow. They are qualified.
To the person that wrote the comment titled, "Go Sarah!", who sounds angry now?!
Joe would know.... being full of horse manure. You could wring it from his ears.
POST THIS CNN!
It blows my mind to see how many people in PA (lancaster) support McCain but then complain in the local news papers and news media (WGAL) that they are losing their jobs and cant get new ones. BUT as you see this has been McCain's approach to the hard working people and our struggles throughout his 26 years as senator.
Fellow people of Pennsylvania please get over your back woods ways of the past with your conservative I'm a Republican till the day i die mind sets and support someone for a change who you KNOW will help you and get your jobs back and not just hold you to a political party.
Fellow Active duty Military member and native of PA for OBAMA/Common sense!
To institute change, you have to have a PLAN, not a VISION people. Palin is not only dangerously inexperienced, she's fooled the sheeple into thinking she is what is best for this country. Get Real.
But wait, if I don't like Palin, I must be sexist; not an American .
Hey John,
Hasn't Senator MCCAIN been there 26 years AND he was on the Commerce Committee, so be careful throwing around the "why haven't you done anythings" I suppose Senator MCCAIn was too busy with his committee, inventing the Blackberry
"John from LA
September 17th, 2008 1:00 pm ET
Biden-you've sat in the Senate for 30 years-what did you do to about the meltdown on Wall St. or the loss of jobs????"
Joe, it would appear that McCain falling off his horse was less tragic than you falling on your head. I understand that "Biden" is really Indian for "anchor", as in around Obama's neck.
I have sat here and watched and seen that every move made by obama mccain has tried to mirror... We don't need a copycat for president... What will he do if he does win, call obama up on the phone and say what do I do next... Do the right thing and vote for Obama/Biden
To Phantom of the Oprah – is that all you've got, ugliness and name calling? Aren't we all supposed to be Americans here, and thereby have the right to our beliefs without all the ugliness and name calling? We have serious problems that we can't get out of by a continuation of the cultural wars. Educate yourselves, please, everyone, and stop the name calling. Our country depends on it.
It is an outrage for the media/CNN to present the bailout of AIG by the Federal Reserve as a government bailout; in fact the Federal Reserve is as much a privately own corporation as AIG.For Mitt Romney to come on national TV and subscribe to the ideal that the Federal Reserve is a government agency shows the extent the republicans and our government officials are willing to distort the truth. America is being soldout and it's not the American people who will benefit.
"The media should lay off Sarah."
She is lying.
Loser...Biden couldn't even win his home state in the primaries. Do you folks really want Biden one heart beat away from the Presidency?
Phantom you are as silly as you sound. First of all, I dare you speak for all Hillary supporters, and second Obama has been saying and trying to get the American people to pay attention to what is going on in this country and stop sleeping at the wheel for the past 2 years. Obviously you are not a democrat because Clinton and Obama views pale in difference. You are a sore loser who continue to make excuses for why you refuse to vote for Obama. It is people like you who are the disgrace, you have the nerve to judge this man because he had the AUDACITY to run for president just like the rest of them and actually won the nomination. I know you must think you are an intelligent person spewing your words of hate and devisiness, but be clear about this, Obama will be the next POTUS and you madam can't do a thing about it. Maybe you should consider moving to canada or Europe, oh wait they support Obama too. This election is bigger than YOU!
SOUND THE ALARM! WAKE UP PEOPLE. THE MCCAIN-PALIN TICKET IS A JOKE. DON'T BUY INTO THIS. YOU CA'NT JUST ALL OF SUDDEN BE ABOUT CHANGE, WHEN YOU HAVE DEFENDED THE STATUS QUO OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE LAST TIME WE WERE STUPID WE GOT BUSH. MCCAIN-PALIN POLICIES ARE THE SAM AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCES ARE THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE US WORST OFF. PRIVATIZING SOCIAL SECURITY ? IN THIS MARKET? ALLEN GREENSPAN SAID MACCAIN TAX CUTS WILLL LEAD TO ECONOMIC DISASTER!
It is quite obvious why Lynn Forester de Rothschild is decideing to endorse senator Mc Cain, her company totally falls under Mc Cains tax break, whereas under senator Obama's she would have to give back a little more to the poor to help balance the equation. Who needs her anyways...i surely did not know who she was, besides she seems and sounds like sour grape to me...so i say what the he*l....let her join Mc Cain's clan. She and the Mc Cain's probably go to the same elite social clubs anyways....elites...
Mc Cain is no reformer and neither is Palin! I am a woman and the more i watch and listen to Palin redundant speeches and interview, the more she comes accross as a shady hustler. Notice how she lower her voice tone and squints one eye during her speeches and interviews with Gibson. Only a racketeer makes thes kind of gestures..
John McLame says, “I don’t know much about the economy, I still need to be educated”
“It would be acceptable if we had to stay in Iraq for another 100 years.”
We need to “bomb, bomb, and bomb Iran”
“I have voted with Bush 90% of the time because he has been right 90% of the time”
Sarah Failin says,
“I have foreign policy experience because you can see Russia from Alaska and I went to Mexico on vacation once.”
“I welcome any investigation into my past because I have nothing to hide, oh never mind I will not meet with any investigators for any reason ever.”
She believes the Bush Doctrine is a “World View” hahaha
She says she said “No Thanks” for the Bridge to nowhere when she was actually the one who got it approved
She says we may have to go to war WITH RUSSIA
She decreased her own responsibilities when she was the mayor of a town small enough to be run by a fifth grader
Go Joe! Where was McCain a month ago, you ask? Getting his economic policies spoon-fed to him by Phil "Whiners" Gramm, who rammed through legislation written by his Wall Street lobbyist pals which dropped the very regulations that would have, if not stopped this mess, at least cushioned the fall and given us a hope for a soft landing. Might have saved a few tens of thousands of jobs, too. The same Phil "Whiners" Gramm who is still an economic adviser to the McCain campaign. And don't forget the input of Carly "Fire Em All" Fiorina, who ran HP into the ground and got booted by her own board. Way to try to look like you've changed your stripes, Johnny "Keating 5" McCain!
Way to go Joe,
I'm sick and tired too.
So this is my take on it.
Olivia: "If McCain is geriatric, so is Biden. Matter of fact he was in the senate longer than McCain. The Obama people is blaming McCain for EVERY SINGLE THING THAT HAS GONE WRONG IN THIS COUNTRY. What about the do-nothing senate? Do they get blamed for anything?"
There's a difference between voting the right way on the issues, like Biden has, and voting the wrong way, like McCain has. It's not time in Washington that is the issue, it's what those people do with their time. McCain pushed for the mortgage industry to be deregulated. Look where we are now. He pushed for this long before we had the Senate we have now, a Senate that IS NOT Democrat controlled, but is split right down the middle. The "Democrat majority" in the Senate is Lieberman's vote, Lieberman, the guy who has endorsed McCain and who spoke at the RNC convention. Yeah, the Democrats really control the Senate. The fact is that, without a 2/3 majority in the Senate, any Senate that has a lame duck obstructionist President LIKE BUSH will not get anything done.
America for Obama – Alot of what you've written I've read elsewhere too from several reputable sources so I know atleast most of what you say is true. mcain falls right in line with the 'agenda' but sadly alot of rethuglicans just don't want to know the truth, they are truly sheep. Would they ever be shocked to know how the gov really runs. Thanks for the Info!
Sarah Palin IS CLUELESS........Really how stupid does John McBUSH think we are. He hires all these people to HELP HER MEMORIZE Answer to questions. He takes her out in public.......PLANTS so called random people in the audiance to ask her STAGED QUESTIONS. She peeks on her hand to check her cliff notes. Then aswers the way she has be instructed. She is a PHONEY DISTRACTION. If John McBUSH believes that he is the right candidate for the job.......WHY WON'T HE STICK TO THE ISSUES INSTEAD OF PLAY GAMES. This serious business................
GOD HELP US if these the idiots win this election. John McCain and Sarah Palin DO NOT CARE ABOUT HELPING THE COUNTRY PROSPER...............The two of them ONLY WANT TO BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE..........PERIOD.
THEY ARE TWO OF THE MOST SELFISH, THOUGHTLESS, SELF CENTERED PEOPLE WHO MAKE ME SICK.
Don't get it twisted Republicans, the Democrats are UNITED no matter what you think. We have the facts on our side, you only have personal attacks to throw. Everythin I get into a conversation about which candidate is better, Obama wins hands down, WHY?? Because he is telling truth, he has not changed his positions on issues, he is a UNIFIER. Republicans are lieing, flip flopping their positions, contridicting themselves. FACT: McCain economic adviser, Gramm spear headed the DEREGULATION which CAUSED the SUBPRIME mortgage meltdown, which triggered the markets to crash and banks to go under. Can you trust McCain to fix it now??? This is not a talking point, this is not a lie. It is fact, people. His judgment is totally in question. He can't even vet his VP pick properly, or maybe he doesn't care to, which equals POOR JUDGMENT.
I have to agree with Biden. McCain has fallen from the person I supported in 2000.
Voting Obama/Biden this year.
good job Mr. Vice President
The bailout of AIG by the Federal Reserve as a government bailout; in fact the Federal Reserve is as much a privately own corporation as AIG.
For Mitt Romney to come on national TV and subscribe to the ideal that the Federal Reserve is a government agency shows the extent the republicans and our government officials are willing to distort the truth.
America is being soldout and it's not the American people who will benefit.
obama/clinton 08
I'm a retired working woman with 40 years administrative experience. I feel more qualified than McCain's Barbie Doll. Most women do too. Women have been deferred to for so many years by the good ole boy network they are willing to vote for anyone with lipstick. Its very sad for the woman's movement that I have supported since the early 60's to have to watch more and more women demean common sense by supporting someone so in-experienced. If she were ever in a position to be President, it would take more than the Fed to bail us out, speaking of which: Bridge Loan to AIG, another bridge to nowhere.
@ Go Sarah! Hey the far-right-GOP has Faux....... I mean Fox news!
Bush/Cheney/McCain/GOP= 600,000 jobs lost, war with Iraq for oil; a national debt of ....$10 TRILLION........ more lies, torture, total disregard for the Constitution and the Geneva Convention!
MCCAIN'S ALREADY LYING........ FOOLING US......... PLEASE AMERICAN WAKE UP!
For all those demanding to know where Biden was five years ago – he was fighting for us in the Republican-majority Senate.
Compare his voting record (and other Democrats) to the Republicans' records. How they voted on each issue. You'll see who brought this country to our knees. The Republicans. You must be so proud of yourselves.
McCain's judgement in everything he has ever done has been lacking any and all common sense. He is the champion of poor decision making and a role model of how to succeed despite being a failure. The trick: just become a republican, they are gullible/ignorant enough to adopt failures as their leaders.
Obama/Biden '08
Keating 5 folks....google/yahoo it...
yeah sure. biden has been in the senate for 36 years and he is so in touch. these dem clowns won't fix anything. gov't will get more involved and mess up more things.
one more thing to my cdn "bros" and "sis" mentioning that you are canadian and support barry – keep doing it as it help my team win. bunch of toronto idiots.
M/P 08!
how in the world would this country even think about putting these crooks back in power,if america does that,then america deserves everything that comes to her in the future,in you guys cant blame the democrats.
Go get'm Joe!!! POple he is dead on. At least Obama can pick a V.P that knows what the Bush Doctran is..... Were election A president not american idol people... This is serious stuff.. I dont wasnt to go to war any more.. Almost half my life we have been in a war and both my at war . Enough is enoug....
Obama Biden
McCain: Against financial regulation before he was for it.
Palin: For that bridge before she was against it.
Both: Lying through their teeth every day.
UNBELIEVABLE change.
OBAMA 08
It is an outrage for the media/CNN to present the bailout of AIG by the Federal Reserve as a government bailout; in fact the Federal Reserve is as much a privately own corporation as AIG.For Mitt Romney to come on national TV and subscribe to the ideal that the Federal Reserve is a government agency shows the extent the republicans and our government officials are willing to distort the truth. America is being soldout and it's not the American people who will benefit.!!!!
Ask how many jobs Obama created as a state senator. Answer, absolutely none. He lost 11% of jobs in his district while he was a state senator.
I am sure as the American people continue to see the crises that are emerging on the economic front, and all the former secretaries of state essentially aggreeing to Senator Obama's position on Iran, it should be clear that we need to shelve our own prejudices and stereotypes of a "blackman" and support Barrack for president because I honestly think he is without any doubt more in touch... Senator Biden is right, what happened to Mr. deregulation in chief Mcain?
The DNC has unveiled a new clock counting the days, hours, and minutes since McCain’s last press conference (34 days) and the time between Palin was picked and her first press conference (18 days and counting). Never before have Presidential candidates been so sheltered from the press. A real preview of the ivory tower approach we would see in the White House.
The only person "vaguer" than Palin in giving responses is OBAMA himself.
The BEST person at stating the toatal obvious is NOT Palin... but OBAMA.
Obama has been preaching the obvious forever- and he needs a teleprompter to do it.
To present the bailout of AIG by the Federal Reserve as a government bailout; in fact the Federal Reserve is as much a privately own corporation as AIG.
For Mitt Romney to come on national TV and subscribe to the ideal that the Federal Reserve is a government agency shows the extent the republicans and our government officials are willing to distort the truth.
America is being soldout and it's not the American people who will benefit.
Tell them Joe! The fluffy bridge to nowhere! McBush should just go home and wait for the unavoidable!
Where the heck is our President during all this??
McCain and Palin treat the media the same way Bush does. None of them answer our questions, they just read their prepared statements and waltz out of the room.
Good leaders don't hide during the tough times.
We need a change.
Obama/Biden 08
When it is Obama who changes his mind- it is "refining".
Well McCain is allowed to refine his position based on new information- just like Obama can.
Look up Gramm-Leach-Bliley – Find out why we are in our current financial mess and who supported it.
18 MILLION PEOPLE VOTED FOR OBAMA to lead the country.
NOT based on his experience but based on his VISION
Sarah won't even meet with reporters on her plane…forget about even having a vision!( other than seeing Russia from her house)
CREDIT CARD COMPANIES ARE NEXT!!!
It is the logical progression of credit failures.
All because Republican leadership failed to protect taxpayers from greed.
You'll see. Before the end of this year, maybe 1st quarter of next year.
How does it effect you?…
Your credit cards will be cancelled.
OR
Your credit line will be cut.
AND
You'll be forced to pay outstanding balance on your card.
"CHANGE OF MIND IS THE ONLY CHANGE MCCAIN WILL BRING"
He'll flip-flop and not stop.
yes he did if he was normal he wouldt choose PALIN over Roney. mccain lost his minde long time ago i think he should look for a retirment house not for a job

I don't know about a horse Joe, but McCain sure looks like he'll ride his new pitbull all the way to the whitehouse!
Joe Biden once again talks out of both sides of his face. Where are his solutions? Oops, if he had any, we wouldn't be in this mess, he's been up there in Washington this whole time too...!
I find it down right mind boggling to read that people on here are blaming Biden. How about blaming McCain and his financial adviser PHIL GRAMM who was responsible for much of the deregulation that got us into this mess. Back in March McCain said no way to more regulations. Now he is all about regulations and how he is going to clean up Washington. I swear some of you people deserve another 4 yrs of Republican rule.
I lost my job, but Rush said not to worry I can sell his hats and t-shirts and make a profit.Thank you Rush,your my Saviour.
So under the McCain economic plan of privatizing social security, all that money that Wall Street lost this week would essentially be your retirement funds. That's really comforting.
Surely most of the U.S. knows where John McCain and for that matter the entire GOP stand on these types of issues. Their stance has never changed and is exactly what got America to the point where it is now. More of the same will only get Americans out of a recession and into a depression.
So it takes McCain a while to get things. Sometimes he gets them sooner that later. This time it is later. Had there been enough people to keep an eye on Wall Street with enough regualtory power to keep things from getting all out of hand, then things would have been all right.
It is the group of people who thing that businesses will do the proper thing who are delusional. Some will act ethically, but there are far too many who will do what every they can to get the maximum money out of the system before they get caught with doing something that is illegal or unethical. It is because of these bad eggs that we need more people watching over Wall Street with the power to do something to make sure that our interconnected markets don't make too large of a disasterous ripple.
Finally, someone is calling McFiber out. Go Biden, tell it like it really is!
I can't believe any democrat is dumb enough to buy anything that comes out of Biden's mouth.
Oh, yeah, the democrats are supporting the media's pick for President, Obama.
Fail.
Tell it like it is Joe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You probably know McCain better than anyone except for his wife. The difference is that you can see his flaws and will tell the truth about his faults, where his wife won't. We democrats want you to start really speaking up against McCain and PLEASE go out on the campaign trail with Obama! Don't let McBush and Cheney in a dress be the only ones out there!
hahahhahahhaha
Biden is funny.......he's the typical raving lunatic who won't shut up, so everybody pretends to listen to him, while they are wondering how long before he shuts up.
However, we know how to shut him up....ask him about his sons legal issues.
The only thing ironic about the fake posts above from "irony" is that the poor idiot should be voting for Obama and change but obviously is confused and is voting for four more years of Mcbush's failed policies.
McCain has how many houses? His wife wears a 300,000 dollar dress to the RNC and these peole can realate to us.? She thinks she is a Queen. The Republicans and the Democrats have ruined this Country, but the Gov of Alaska, and John is running because he was a POW? help we need new blood not jerks
I am sorry we are spending billions and billions we don't have. I am broke form taxes and the Govt and everyone is side tracked by the media circus and has turned the election into a circus, it has nothing to do about us.
Rome is falling
(From the Veterans for Common Sense)
John McCain on Women’s Issues
In his own words: ““I do not support Roe v. Wade. It should be overturned.”
Biden has always been a looser,if he lived in any other state besides Delaware, you would have never heard of him.
I want somebody to explain to me why McCain and his supporters are so convinced that Obama should have agreed to 10 "town hall" debates before either of them were officially nominated as the candidates of their parties. I want to know why McCain expects Obama to do something solely as a favor to McCain, something that solely benefits McCain, something that has never happened before in an American Presidential campaign. I also want to know how McCain justifies vicious lies and smears of Obama by saying that this would all have been avoided if Obama had just acquised to McCain's every demand. McCain sounds like a spoiled petulant 3-year old, crying and stamping his feet because he didn't get his way.
I want to know why people claim Obama should be 20 points over McCain in the polls now, the last time a presidential candidate won an election by 20% more then his opponent was Richard Nixon. And we all saw how well that turned out. Even Reagan didn't win against Carter by a margin as wide as people say Obama should have.
Tell it like it is Joe. You were the steady honest choice here. Palin is a flash in the pan candidate who will disappear after this election back to Alaska.
i cant believe there are still people out there saying mccain is honest?do you folks need it stamped on yer foreheads ,backwards,so you read it everytime you look in a morror?
Thanks Joe...tell it like it is, not the way the GOP lemmings want to hear it.
John McCain has served this country. No one in this election is denying him that. But his selection of Governor Palin has demonstrated that he is willing to put his desperation to win this election above the welfare of the American people. As someone who has spent over 40 years advocating on behalf of women both politically and philanthropically, as someone who was a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton and as someone who cares deeply about the health and welfare of all women, hear me Senator McCain: “This calculated, cynical ploy to pull away a small percentage of Hillary's women voters from Barack Obama will not work. We are not that stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
McCain didn't invent the Blackberry, he invented teh telegraph.
The McPain candidates are all of a sudden "converts", away from Greed and Corruption.
What a pair of cynics. What a FARCE!
And Bush all of a sudden is sayin to Afghanistan people "Sorry that we killed 90 children with our remote controlled planes", when first they said "six civilians were killed", on the "interest" of getting rid of the enemy, of course. But the interest and the "enemy" are all LIES. Bush's enemy is his own, and cronies', GREED for power, money, fame, and quest for glory of selfish "grandeur". We need Obama to fix all that that has our Nation broken in so many respects.
Go Sarah!, you are sounding a tad bit desperate. Why don't you tell me why or how what Biden said was wrong or a distortion?
I would appreciate that.
Well looks like Biden lost some age too!! he is acting just as immature as the other Dems........... Grow-up and unite together as a whole is how it should be. . This is a presidential campaign, not a high school rivalry!!!!
It pushes me away when negativity and hate comes in to play.
Plain and simple immaturity!!
L @ September 17th, 2008 1:16 pm ET: Your failure to properly plan financially for your child's future is not Obama's fault. If people making 10 million dollars to act want to spend some of it on one night with a candidate of their choice it's not your business either. No one put a gun to their heads to attend the event. And the person holding the event set the price not Obama. Get over yourself, count the blessing you have not what everyone else has.
i guess ,go joe!, was alittle too strong for cnn monitors? sorry.
John McCain is REALLY OUT OF TOUCH. He has PROVEN this to be true by USING Sarah Palin to help increase the number of people who attend his DRY, BORING, WHINNY, COMPLAINING, MUNDAN OUT OF DATE SPEAKING EVENTS. If McCain shows up ALONE to make speechs hardly no one wants to listen. People leave early, make excuses (I have to have my teeth drilled) rather than listen to him whine for an hour or more. Take a look at the people surrounding him, check out the yawns, sighs, eye-rubbing. PROVEN...............HE CAN'T CONNECT WITH THE PEOPLE......... EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO SUPPORT HIM ARE BORED AROUND HIM......HE IS TOO WHINNY AND TOO CRANKY.
TO PROVE MY POINT TO YOU – - WATCH ONE OF HIS SPEECHES -
THEN WITHOUT CNN'S HELP BLOG BACK THE DETAILS OF HIS SPEECH. I BET YOU CAN'T DO IT.
HE IS BORING, WHINNEY, CRANKY AND OUT OF TOUCH.
OBAMA-BIDEN 2008
Remember: McCain wants to privatize Social Security. We'd be in big trouble now had he done that to us!!!! What does he know about the economy?
"Joe Biden once again talks out of both sides of his face. Where are his solutions? Oops, if he had any, we wouldn't be in this mess, he's been up there in Washington this whole time too…!"
He voted against the deregulation of the mortgage industry. McCain voted for it and pushed for it. Biden has been doing all he can, but there's other Senators then him in Washington.
Slow Joe should keep his mouth shut. He sounds dumber everytime he talks.
MR CREDIT CARD AT 25 % GIVE ME A BREAK !
I love all you liberals and minorities crying their will be a civil war in this country if McCain / Palin wins. That is what is wrong with this country people listening to B.S. talk. I learned one thing by serving in the military for twenty years . Everyone has red blood and all people bleed. You might have a lot of riots in the big cities ezpecially in the northeast and the west coast but real america does not play them games. We do not care if you burn down your neighborhoods we just do not want our tax dollars used to rebuild them.
Hell, the horse ran over McCain a long time ago.
WAKE UP AMERICA!
McSame has a plan. It will provide total and complete removal of regulation for the banking, real estate and insurance industries. His plan will also include taxpayer bail out of companies that become insolvent. This will allow top level multi-millionaire executives the chance to parachute out with million dollar severance packages.
He has said many times previously that he is the deregulation supporter. Remember deregulation of Lincoln Savings?
Senator Biden, I'm sure you know Sen. McCain's voting record in the senate. Educate the voters more about his records. BILLS that he sponsored for the last two decades.
Stay focus on the issues!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW MANY LETTERS IN KEATING 5 ?
Biden , a Washington Insider. We know he is notorious for BIG TALK in Washington. He is just lucky enough that the news media does not pick on him. What kind of Chang can he bring to Wahington? Recycle? Recycle?
Too bad Obama chose him, not Hillary.
I'm a 100% Hillary supporter. But I switch to McCain now. I support McCain not for whom he chose as VP. But it's the fact that McCain/Palin ticket gave me more hope for Change than Obama/Biden. I do notc trust Obama's big mouth.
Palin is like Eliza Doolittle, only this time she failed the test. Palin is not ready for prime time and needs to go back to Alaska.
Can someone please explain that Fargo/Alaskan accent, how can you be Alaskan and speak like you're from Fargo?
"Economics is something that I've never really understood as well as I should... I've never been involved in the financial stuff, the financial workings of the country." -John McCain...
"Now, I am not an expert on Wall Street. I am not an expert on some of this stuff." -John McCain...
"I didn't pay nearly the attention to [economic] issues in the past. I was probably a supply-sider based on the fact that I didn't really jump into the issue." -John McCain...
“I don’t have that kind of [economic] expertise.” -John McCain... “I wish interest rates were zero!” -John McCain...
"I know a lot less about economics than I do about military or foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.'" -John McCain...
"The fundamentals of our economy are strong." -John McCain...
yeah Joe need to show he is VP of Obama.
I think they should also rally together since Joe is off the screen which is not good.
Bring on the Clinton's now since economy is as bad as you know the answer
GO JOE!
Keep it up Senator Biden!!!
You tell 'em, Joe. McCain's been out of touch with realism for longer than any of us care to even think about. It's about time someone brought him to task!
The reason why our economy is crashing is because of Iraq all the money that was supposed to refuel the economy are been sent to Iraq while the economy is let alone to die. The consumers have no confidence in the market that is mean they will not spend and again the economy will struggle. John McCain does not understand that simple economics formular and stated that the economy is strong. I know that McCain pocket is strong because he is a rich man. But, our economy is not strong.
McCain's "DRILL, DRILL, DRILL" answer to gas prices won't even
happen for at least 10 years.
McCain's "BOMB, BOMB, BOMB, may happen in two more country's;
Iran and Russia, so says Sarah Palin when they let her alone on the
campaign trail!!!!!
McCain's stance on "deregulation" of the Banks and Big Corporation,
just gave the "A.OK. to the crooks that took huge millions of Dollars
of Bonuses-Some of them got bonuses when they got fired!!!!!!
AMERICA OWNED BANKS SET US BACK BILLIONS. THEY HAD
TO BUY THEM!!!!!! CHINA BOUGHT THE FIRST FEW!!!!!
McCain's pick of Sarah Palin was Karl Rove's idea, although it
would show Rove had a "conflict of interest" because he is "employed"
by Fox. Anything Rove says, now is to cover up the fact that he is both
employed by Fox, and he is helping the Republicans win.
OBAMA BIDEN 2008
People ask what Joe Biden has done about the sub prime mortgage crisis.
Well, if Washington had listened to him in the first place we wouldn't have one. McCain voted for the 1999 Gramm Deregulation Act, Biden voted against it. If Gramm sounds familiar, he's the guy working for McCain now who said we're a nation of whiners for thinking we've got financial problems. The 1999 Gramm Deregulation Act, also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, deregulated the finance industry, which led to the whole mess we have now.
Next time, try to do a little research. And listen to the Democrats, 9 times out of 10 we're right.
Go get 'em, Joe!

Boeing was orginally given the contract to build the Military refueling jets in the USA, by Americans. McCain was the instigator in Boeing losing that bid, and it going to rebid. McCain was the main supporter of Airbus winning the new bid. The contract was once again disputed and is up for rebid, which once more McCain will fight against.
This man is not about keeping jobs in America, and he would rather have our Military weapons built in another country.

Go Sarah-
Are you for real? A number of the people covering politics on CNN worked for or are working for Republican candidates.
You must mean Fox and you must mean registered Republicans. Hannity narrated the video opening up the 2004 Republican convention. Their lead anchor, Tony Snow, became Bush's press secretary!
How about some facts?
Biden and Uhbama both voted for the bridge to nowhere.
Sarah Piden belonged to a group that wanted ALASKA to be "free" from
the United States!
nerds-
Spin? Please. They were all said by someone runnig for President or supporting someone else running for President.
How about Bill Clinton saying that Obama is the right one for the job?
Guess he should know, don't you think?
Why aren't the McCain/Palin not being accused of Plagiarism? OBAMA's theme since he announce his candidacy is "CHANGE".
"Biden is funny…….he's the typical raving lunatic who won't shut up, so everybody pretends to listen to him, while they are wondering how long before he shuts up.
However, we know how to shut him up….ask him about his sons legal issues."
Beau Biden is the Delaware Attorney General and he's also a Captain in the Delaware Army National Guard, with a deployment coming up in October. Hunter Biden was appointed to the US Department of Commerce by Clinton, and then nominated by George W Bush to the board of directors of Amtrak, a decision that was confirmed unanimously by the Senate.
So... can you find anywhere outside of lunatic far right websites that says his sons are even having legal problems? They look to me like fine upstanding members of the community.
I just pictured McCain falling off a horse.
To Ann from Canada,
America is already "in" a depression! America was "forced" to
buy the banks. China bought the first two. They must not want
anymore banks in America.
Oh please Joe and raising taxes is the answer to the economy woes. Keep pitching the manure while McCain is back up on that horse galluping to victory.
Obama and Biden both has many troublesome personal issues. But how come the media did not dig them deep? We know Obama's Acorn issue ...
As voters from CA, we are very clear that McCAIN is NOT Bush. He reached more DEMS. in the senate than Obama. Obama is a very POLISHED AND SNEAKY DIRTY CHICAGO POLITICAN. He always voted ABSENT.
As Hillary said: How can the American people trust a guy who has no courage to vote a "YES" or "NO"?
Thanks Joe...tell it like it is, not the way the GOP lemmings want to hear it.
Why is it that you people can't see that McCain and his wolf pack is going to have everyone in America poor except themselves? Fools McCain=Rich and Obama=America. Please open your blinded eyes before you find yourself and 90% of American people standing in the welfare or unemployment line. Oh, I forgot there may be no welfare line or SSN if McCain has anything to say about it. However, I do believe they need to put a leach on that welfare program; it's crippling our young Americans and making them lazy. They need to get educated and get a job and let the system work for those who really need it; like our senior citizens, homeless vets, and abused victums who need a fresh start.
Yes, but for 5 1/2 years John McCain didn't have a horse, or a kitchen table, or a house because he was a POW!

TWO WORDS;
FOX NEWS.
It is just incredible how stupid our nation has become. How can anyone with even half a brain fall for the McCain-Palin dog and pony show. In 2008 some folks are actually supporting a 72 year old man who cannot operate a personal computer. The same folks get all goo goo at a corrupt politician from Alaska who is clearly intellectually challenged at the very least.
John McCain barely got out of college. Palin went to 6 institutions before finally "obtaining" a bachelors degree. The fact is they are both not the best and not the brightest. They are not fit to lead this country. McCain and Palin are depending on the racist vote to get elected.
How is it that it's ok to flip flop and take the Democrats message of change once you see that it's popular and what the people want. McCain talking about change and shaking up Washington is like Burger King and McDonalds putting out a commercial asking "Where's the beef". Everyone knows Obama is far more intelligent than Palin and McCain combined the only reason this is even a race is because there are too many in America who will rather have this nation fail with someone they can have a beer with as we all sit in misery for another 4 years instead of selecting the candidate with the best judgement and that inspires our yong people who are the future.
Go Get em' JOE!!!
The "deregulation' of America's Banks and Corporations gave the
"soon to be rich" a fat chance to become on of the fatcats. They could
steal and rob and pay themselves any bonus they wanted to!!!
The "deregulation of America's Banks and Corporations, began with
Republicans "hero", President Reagan..
Thank you Reagan and Bush. We are BUSHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Whacked!!!!
"Biden is the 3rd most liberal Senator in Washington."
Yeah... but the last 8 years have showed us that THE LIBERALS ARE RIGHT. "Liberal" should be a badge of honor, not a slur.
Sick of it all-
Please. Did you see the ugliness at the Republican convention? Have you seen the DOCUMENTED lies by the McCain campaign? do you see how they have said they will decide when and where Sarah speaks?? You are way too transparent.
Chuck–
I've seen your post before and it is still wrong. The Democrats are up 15 or so seats in the House so they can propose legislation. The Senate is 49-49. Even if Sanders and Lieberman agree with them, President Bush vetoes it. This administration is not interested in regulation or in even holding anyone responsible for the messes we are in. Point your outrage where it belongs.
I am wondering despite all MSM favoring Obama quite openly,
McCain still holding on.
I read yahoo , CNN, MSNBC, etc, etc , everywhere its not-so-good talks about GOP or Palin or McCain. At the same time I do not read anything much going against Obama in articles.
There must be something thats' giving McCain-Palin score a boost.
Big Talk-
You are a liar and it seems you can't be trusted neither. A tumbling economy and our soldiers fighting a bloody war for those nut cases and you trust McCain. Pluheeeeeez, tell that to your family; because no else believe you. You are either a fool or a racist.
Biden and Obama...two politicians promising "change." POLITICIANS PROMISING!
Biden is so boring and a nobody. No one was even talking about this guy before the VP selections. He carries no real popularity with the general public and is just an extra body to bum around with Obama.
Nice to know the neo-cons can only respond by making fun of Joe's hair
Big talk – good riddance to bad rubbish. WTG Biden! Tell it to them liars...........

CHUCK.... I GOT 2 WORDS FOR 'YOU'...
REPUBLICAN FILIBUSTER !!!
Google "1999 Gramm Deregulation Act". McCain voted yes, and he even has Gramm on his campaign staff, the same Gramm who said Americans are "whining" about the economic crisis. Biden voted no.
The choice is clear.
I'm an independent and look at the fox news site and this site. There is so much talk about change. All I see is the same name calling and petty comments. Both parties have problems and both offer good. If you like McCain then you can like his experience but dislike some of his policies. Experience is really over rated. No one is prepared to be president. If you like Obama you know he doesn't have experience, but you might like his policies. So much more to say, but its sad how uneducated the american people seem on these blogs.
Say it's so Joe!!!!!!!!!!!!..Say it's so!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOJO/08/12
Where was Joe Biden when all this deregulation occurred? He was in the same place as all the other discouraged Democrats – watching the Republican majority in the House and/or Senate shove through anything and everything that President Bush wanted. Republicans don't want regulations because regulations interfere with profits and golden parachutes.
Even now, the Democratic majority is too slim to defeat filibusters and vetoes. Republicans have been in control for a long time and our federal agencies have been practically dismantled. Voters need to get a clue that it isn't just about the Executive office.
Please just give it to us straight Joe! McCain's economic advisor, former senator Phil Gramm was a primary author of the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that repealed the depression-era walls between between banking, investment, and insurance that made this crisis possible. While Palin and McCain tisk tisk on government bailouts, McCain's main man on the economy authored the mess and you better believe John McBlame supported it whole-heartedly.
Sober up America. This isn't a high school prom we are voting for in November! Our empire is eroding and we can either slow the process down by supporting Obama and Biden or eat our meals off of lead plates and all go insane. When in Rome.....
Hey COUNTRY FIRST: So you think Obama "used" Joe Biden? Well what does that say about McCain's choice of VP?
I think there are a lot of more qualified people he could have chosen if he wanted to put HIS country first!
I wouldn't count me out.
My question is....Biden...where were you..... too?
Same old Same old politicians as usual.
Yes, but for 5 1/2 years John McCain didn't have a horse, or a kitchen table, or a house because he was a POW!

Obama/Biden
Hey, "Go Sarah"! Why do you support the biggest liar in political history – Ms. Palin?
I love you Biden, but the democrats lost their way. Hillary should have been the nominee and Obama VP.
Welcome Third Bush Term, Good-by Supreme Court!
Biden–Has been dropped on his head like a dozen times–
Can't you tell –One eye always squints -
His crowds are hovering around 250 People now–LOL-
It's like an AMBER ALERT - Has anyone seen Joe-!!
It's Even in Perennial DEM States like " GUNS and RELGION " Pennsylvania and Wow Minnesota-
Together with when most of these polled people get into the Voting Booth –they will not pull the lever for OBAMA-Just like they couldn't pull the lever against Hillary-
The only reason he won the primary was because he bullied his way in the caucase states -
This is going to be a bad loss for the DEM's–
So just what have Biden and Obama been doing for the past several years (decades in Biden's case) to make sure that the democratically controlled CONGRESS exercises the appropriate oversight of industry?
Politicians are slime balls, don't get too close.
Sen. Joseph Biden, released his tax returns for the years 1998 to 2007.
The returns showed that in, 1999, Biden and his wife Jill gave $120 to charity out of an adjusted gross income of $210,979!!!!
In 2005, out of an adjusted gross income of $321,379, the Bidens gave $380.
In nine out of the ten years for which tax returns were released, the Bidens gave less than $400 to charity.
This guy is a loud mouthed liberal hypocrite!
Biden seems to embellish everything he says has happened.
This supposedly honest outspoken guy doesn't seem that way to me.
I would like to know why Obama is saying he has accomplished far more in the very short time he has been in the senate, than those who have been there for some time. Doesn't seem feasable. Why isn't Biden protecting his legacy as a long-term senator? Does he feel he is exempt from the do-nothing group?
and.....stop riding McCain unfairly. He is a good man and will be at the helm come Nov.
Does that explain where McSame is coming from?
Did he fall off his horse and hit his head, or is just the Dementia talking?
Just say NO to Bush 44.
