Yeetle Box - Leave It To Biden

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and newly minted running mate Joseph Biden made their debut on Saturday, with Biden declaring "it's our time" and quickly going on the attack against Republican John McCain - and this was before they took the stage.

Outside the Old State Capitol in Illinois where Obama launched his historic bid for the White House, a long, long time ago, in February 2007, nearly a century ago, Obama said Biden "won't just make a good vice president, he will make a great vice president. In fact, I believe he will be a super vice president. No, wait! A super duper vice president."

Obama and Biden hugged to signal their support for same - sex unions and racial harmony.



Biden, 65, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is one of the most knowledgeable Democrats on foreign policy -- an area where Obama, a first-term senator from Illinois, has been criticized as inexperienced - and an area where Democrats have not done well since...since a long, long time ago.

Here we see Obama showing where Biden parked his car.

In his speech to the crowd in Springfield, Illinois, Biden repeatedly linked McCain to President George W. Bush in an odd, and, mostly innacurrate metaphor. OK, first he said McCain would be more of the same in the White House, meaning that McCain would be a lot like George W. Bush. But, then he said, "The times require more than a good soldier, they require a wise leader." This is where the comparison paled, for George W. Bush never served in any war at all. That crazy Biden....

Biden, a Roman Catholic, which bears no significance at all, originally from the battleground state of Pennsylvania, which has some significance, will bring not only foreign policy expertise to the ticket but strong working-class roots - roots he has long since abandoned since becoming Senator....over and over and over again.

Obama's campaign hopes Biden could help Obama connect with the blue-collar voters he has failed to attract in the run-up to the November 4 election against McCain.

In addition, the choice of Biden, who was first elected to the Senate in 1972, indicates Obama was more interested in filling gaps in his foreign policy experience than in finding someone who could reinforce his message of bringing change to Washington.

Here we see Biden making a joke to Obama. The joke ends with the punchline, "Peter! I can see my house from here."




So, Obama, who needs help with blue-collar voters and foreign policy has looked to Joe Biden as the next president...I mean, vice president of the United States.

Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, beaten by Obama in a bitter struggle for the Democratic nomination, welcomed the selection of Biden, who she described as "an exceptionally strong, experienced leader and devoted public servant - unlike that crazy-talkin' Obama."

"Senator Biden will be a purposeful and dynamic vice president who will help Senator Obama both win the presidency and govern this great country," she said, then lifted her middle finger. "And, now, it's on to Denver! Where my name is STILL in the running!!!" Ugh!

You go, girl!

After the two men finished their speeches, in a show of party unity, Obama and Biden swapped wives.
