I think we are seeing an enlightened press. How fast Biden 's "Outsider" image crumbled, I knew there had to be a reason why he only got 9,000 votes. LOL! Obama does need Biden to show him the ropes in Washington. After 36 years, he must have mastered and used the system effectively. So, isn't he part of that Washington that Obama set out to CHANGE?

We must watch out for the whole truth in Obama and Biden. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have somewhat similar voting records. Biden, serving on the Senate Judiciary Committee, recently voted against Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel A. Alito. Biden votes against Conservative Justices and for Liberal Justices. Many times, Joe Biden has stated that he got into partisan politics because of civil rights. The most innocent civil rights of them all should belong to the infants, just to be born, and/or in some instances born, except the infants head is still inside the uterus of the mother. An abortionist, then with an instrument, penetrates the base of the skull and removes the brains of the infant. For anyone to support that type of activity, does not support civil rights. While Obama says the old timers on Capitol Hill are the problems, he chooses an old timer as his nominee for vice. I fail to understand what Obama stands for.

The outsider image for Biden is an impossibility. On most of the issues, Obiden will be dancing around their past. How will we ever know the truth? The Media is fully embracing its role as a willing participant in Obama’s Dance of Deceit- The Penumbra of Truth and Lies. I hope you will consider this article found at: http://zachjonesishome.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/obamas-dance-of-deceit-the-penumbra-of-truth-and-lies/

It is hard to see any real difference between the two parties! Even now there are great many Democrats that would vote for the Clintons. Even after Bill Clinton sent their jobs out of the country. It is the middle class that got stiffed with the Republican Clintons, ...yes I said the Clintons are Republicans and so did Alan Greenspan in his book, ....finally! Did you notice how buddy buddy Bill Clinton was to George HW bush, before Hillary got into the presidental race?..Birds of feather! We are becoming a third world nation thanks to the Clintons trade deals! Half of the middle class are loonies, they would vote for their own demise and the Clintons, after Bill signed all those trade treaties that undermined the working class and sent their jobs to Mexico and Communist China. Bill Clinton did Communist China and Walmart a favor, and his wife, Hillary, who sat on the board of Walmart, now we know how the Clintons got so wealthy! Bill signed NAFTA and gave China "MOST FAVORED NATION statics , Nafta was drawn up by George H W Bush and Carla Hill, after becoming president, Bill hired Carl Hill and pushed NAFTA against the will of every thinking middle class factory worker! Now that Communist China has almost all of our factories , we have to borrow money from them, they are now driving more cars and trucks and driving up the price of oil and gasoline thru compitition, all thanks to the Clintons! OH, did you notice any price drop at Walmart after those tariffs were dropped, ........I didn't!

Biden is a flatulent fraud. His pretense at being a Washington "outsider" is laughable.

OOPS! Maybe Biden was just trying to keep it in the family. Also-------------A message to lyn. I tried to follow your train of thought but I think it derailed.

Pelosi said Biden was not an insider! I guess its all relative just like Bill Clinton's definition of "is". I can't wait to see what the real definition of "fair market" is, as compared to "free market". They can't blame the cattle for the methane fog surrounding this one.

You're right, pfb32765. LYNs message is clear, though. She hates the Clintons because and she is supporting Obama (she did not have anything negative on him) Typical. She was talking about NAFTA. She should do more research And she should listen more to what the DNC ( who backed OBAMA all the way). They are trying to get Hillary's 18 million voters by saying that OBAMA will continue the programs that Clinton started. Obama is also shifting towards NAFTA. Haven't you noticed how Obama changed positions faster than one could follow in the last few weeks? His choice of Biden is the real clincher! And, by the way, since you are so obsessed with Chinese-made Walmart merchandise, tell me where I could buy American made clothes at an affordable price. Would you work for 25 cents an hour? My husband and I only buy American cars although we know we could get better deals with foreign cars. We have never owned a Van or SUV because they use up more gas. We have to make adjustments in our own lifestyles, too, you know. Are factory workers middle class? According to OBAMA, middle class are those earning $150,00 to $250,00. My husband and I are both in management but our combined income is less than $100,000. I hope Biden did not charge his daily train fare as official expense. Bill Clinton is not running, guys, neither does Bush. So, keep your focus on all issues, not just one issue. Unfortunately, we live in a two-party nation.
