Answer 3

The choice of Biden could make for a great bumpersticker.

Obama bin Biden '08

Answer 4

They match.....I don't support either of them.  

Answer 5

I think that Biden is perfect!

“The more people learn about them (Obama and Hillary) and how they handle the pressure, the more their support will evaporate.”

Answer 6

A Washington politician, been in congress longer than McCain...

He was picked to balance out the no experience....

a good choice...but status quo......not really change at all

Answer 7

Obama trashed Hillary in the primaries over her Iraq vote.  Now he picks Biden to be a breath away from the presidency, and Biden voted the same as Clinton???  This shows Obama's judgment and decision making is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.  

Answer 8

LOVE IT!

From Wiki:

"Foreign Relations Committee



Biden gives his opening statement and questions to U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker and General David H. Petraeus at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearing on Iraq; September 11, 2007Biden is also a long-time member and current chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. In 1997, he became the ranking minority member and chaired the committee from June 2001 through 2003. When Democrats re-took control of the Senate following the 2006 elections, Biden again assumed the top spot on the committee in 2007. His efforts to combat hostilities in the Balkans in the 1990s brought national attention and influenced presidential policy: traveling repeatedly to the region, he made one meeting famous by calling Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic a "war criminal." He consistently argued for lifting the arms embargo, training Bosnian Muslims, investigating war crimes and administering NATO air strikes. Biden's subsequent "lift and strike" resolution was instrumental in convincing President Bill Clinton to use military force in the face of systematic human rights violations.[20] Biden has also called on Libya to release political prisoner Fathi Eljahmi.[21]

Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, Biden was supportive of the Bush administration's efforts, calling for additional ground troops in Afghanistan and agreeing that Saddam Hussein was a threat that needed to be dealt with. The Bush administration rejected an effort Biden undertook with Senator Richard Lugar to pass a resolution authorizing military action only after the exhaustion of diplomatic efforts. In October 2002, Biden voted for the final resolution to support the war in Iraq. He has long supported the appropriations to pay for the occupation, but has argued repeatedly that more soldiers are needed, the war should be internationalized, and the Bush administration should "level with the American people" about the cost and length of the conflict.[22]

In November 2006, Biden and Leslie Gelb, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, released a comprehensive strategy to end sectarian violence in Iraq. Rather than continuing the present approach or withdrawing, the plan calls for "a third way": federalizing Iraq and giving Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis "breathing room" in their own regions."

Answer 9

CHANGE WE CAN ALL BELIEVE IN?

Biden is a Washington insider. How is that change? It seems like Obama's "Change" campaign may have been "just words" based on this decision.  

Answer 10

A little over a year ago, I had Joe's wife, Dr. Jill Biden, for an English class in college.  After doing a thesis on politics and the etcetera...she liked it, and invited me to talk with her and her husband at a Borders book store/cafe.  He is a very level headed man, but he has a spark to him in the Senate.  He also knows more foreign policy then I will ever be able to think about and has more fire then Obama does, taking the "timid" trait away Democratic ticket.  During our talks (btw, it was before the primaries), I asked if he was really going to run for President because I would certainly vote for him.  He said he would...but actually didn't like his chances.  So I pressed on and asked that if he didn't get the nod, would he want to be a VP and for whom...he said yes, and mentioned Hillary or Obama.  Of course, I know there are videos in the primaries that say different...but I was just giving my own experience.  I used to live in Delaware...and the entire state, republicans and democrats, love Joe Biden.  As do I...

Answer 11

It's a waste.

Putin will put missiles in Cuba to show how powerless these two Dems are.

Biden also supported Bush's bankruptcy bill along with credit card banks.  That really scr**ed American families.

You have to love it when a Dem doesn't have the courage to stand up to big banks and votes to harm American families.

Answer 12

Biden is just another self-serving, opportunistic, lying politician.

When he ran for his party's nomination for pres in 1988 he stole a speech from British politician, Neil Kinnock and claimed it as his own and he said he graduated top in his law class when graduated near the bottom.

Like most politician, he's a real sweetheart.

Answer 13

he is a much better choice than obama is,but he still is a fraud,and a big washington insider
