‘Change You Can Xerox’

It’s spelled “Xerox.”

Not only will Republicans make hay out of it, Biden’s a pompous lightweight who couldn’t pull 2% out of Iowa, and who runs for President every 4 years with nothing to show for it.
Fat lot of good this will do Barack Obama. And that’s true whether you’re an Obama supporter, critic, or agnostic.

JOE BIDEN, BARACK OBAMA
Obama’s Running Mate, in 2007: ‘I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is.’
Man, the attack ads on Obama featuring quotes from his own running mate are just going to be brutal:
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos: “You were asked is he ready. You said ‘I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.’”
Sen. Biden: “I think that I stand by the statement.”
(ABC’s “This Week,” 8/19/07)
Picture the voice over: “If his own running mate has doubts about whether he’s ready for the job… shouldn’t you?”

Hey, that’s one heck of a good-looking ticket…nice guys, lots of smarts, both with a good sense of humor…Repubs, eat your hearts out.

Digesting an Obama-Biden ticket…
It’s hard for Obama supporters to play the age card any longer, as their potential veep is all of six years younger than McCain.
The candidate of hope and change selected a running mate who was first elected to public office when Obama was 9 years old. He was elected to the Senate when Obama was 11.
The bottom of the ticket running on change has been in Washington forever.
He voted for the Iraq War — which Obama touted as the most important decision since the end of the Cold War.
Biden supports a ban on partial-birth abortion. He supports deploying U.S. troops to Darfur in Sudan.
His mouth will be an absolute time bomb. Will he refer to Delaware as a “slave state” again? Will he discuss who’s behind the counter at 7-11s?
I’m reminded of a Rudy Giuliani response when Biden took a shot at him — “Joe’s a good guy, we all criticize each other during this time… But for Joe Biden to talk about qualifications — he’s never run a city, he’s never run a state, he’s never run a business.”
That statement is true for both men on the Democratic ticket.
Other than Biden’s mouth, it’s a relatively safe pick. But since he’ll be spending just about every waking moment between now and Election Day in front of television cameras… look out.

BTW, its amazing to see the incredible excitement over who McCain will pick as his VP! It’s almost as if no one gives a crap!

decent, McCain met with regulators twice on behalf of Keating who was under investigation. The ethics committee reprimanded him for poor judgement. McCain said that what he did was wrong. The bailout of the bank cost us taxpayers over $3 billion.
This is old news, and the only reason it comes up is because in comparison Obama comes off looking like a saint in his dealings with a certain Illinois real estate developer that the Republicans keep bringing up.

Obama bin Biden ’08
Great.

Every candidate will have some warts

BTW. Biden was very unfortunate back then. He had used the quote several times before and had correctly attributed it every time. There was one instance he forgot to do that and that was the one that got caught on video

Has the media already exposed the ties between Lindner and McCain? There’s gold there. You might not want to be too late to the party.

Biden appearing on The Daily Show, August 2, 2005: “John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who…”

Why should I care about his VP pick, he’s still a race-baiting, caucus-rigging, backroom-dealing, America-hating snob.
Whoever The One picks to be The Two, they are going to lose!

December 11, 2007: “If Iowans believe campaign funds and celebrity will fix the debacle in Iraq, put the economy on track, and provide health care and education for America’s children, they should support another candidate,” said Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro. “But I’m confident that Iowans know what I know: our problems will require experience and leadership from Day One. Empty slogans will be no match for proven action on caucus night.”

September 26, 2007: Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro said, “Sen. Obama said he would do everything possible to end the war in Iraq and emphasized the need for a political solution yet he failed to show up to vote for Sen. Biden’s critical amendment to provide a political solution in Iraq.

Biden’s Wikipedia entry has another example of plagiarism form his law school days. He got an F in the course because of it. Biden also called Obama a “Johnny come lately” in foreign affairs, in a press release, and publicly called for McCain to be Kerry’s VP choice in 2004. Also, he’s been a full supporter of Bush vis a vis Iraq.

USVet got it right: Biden is a pompous lightweight who has spent most of the war in Iraq claiming that training Iraqi troops was our ticket out of there. We trained them, and they only got a lot better at killing each other.
“We will stand down when the Iraqi Army stands up.”
How many times did that pompous idiot recite his meaningless sound-bite?

The truth is that this ticket should be Biden/Obama. Even Biden as VP won’t get
people to vote for the inexperienced Obama.

Obama/Biden has the Osama BinLaden sound.

If we can forget McCain cheating on his wife all those years ago, I think we can forget about Biden cheating on a speech.

birds of a feather flock together…

Good work JA..keep them coming.

Uh hello.
Like Obama so totally lied to me. He took my digits and my email address and so promised I would be the first to know. How lame. I still have not received a text and like this news shows and web sites all know.
Now like I will get some lame excuse on how his crew leaked the info to the news people and he will then start calling and emailing me for cash.
How lame is that?
Theresa

There is gonna be a lot of ticked off people who wanted to be the first to hear this by text! I’m glad I didn’t fall for that typical sales tactic.
But hey, The chosen one sure increased his database!

Now they make a pair of plagiarizers.
Revolution We Can Believe In!
–Chairman Mao
Change We Can Believe In!
–a phony
Is Revolution Change?

McSame has experience: The Keating 5 Scandal.

Confucius says that when a fool man chooses a fool, he is a fool. When a fool man chooses a wise one, he’s still a fool. It doesn’t matter who Obama chooses.

It’s OFFICIAL, it’s BIDEN – Are you KIDDING ??
BIDEN stated that HE wanted to be on the McCLAIN ticket and The ONE NObama was NOT QUALIFIED !!!
WAY TO GO “THE ONE” NObama !!
THE ONE NObama’s seals his own fate by chosing Biden and HUMILIATING Hillary !
Not only did “THE ONE” NObama not even consider Hillary (as THE ONE NObama had PROMISED THE ONE would),
but THE ONE NObama did not even ASK Hillary’s opinion / perspective…
What a UNIFIER !! – NO TRUST!!
NObama: NO JUDGEMENT / NO TRUST to LEAD – esp. as USA President
PUMA for McCLAIN in ’08 – Judgement and Honesty we can BELIVE IN !!

So who wilol McCian select from the ZRepublicans
Will it be young boy pursuer, Foley?
Or how about the toe tappin granpa?
Or perhaps Duke Cunningham to help out in Ca?
Or maybe Tom Delay?
Or Ted Stevens?
So many fine GOP members to select from….

So, let’s see now… Bush and Iraq finally agree that the troops will be out of Iraq by 12/12, and now the Shi’ite government is arresting the Sunni army that turned against Al Quaida and fought on the side of the “Allies.” The Shi’ite army/police/government will soon be as nasty an oligarchy as Saddam Hussein was a dictator… but by golly, the cry babies will get their way and more American boys and girls won’t be killed in Iraq. Lots of Iraqis will be killed, to be sure, but apparently the crybabies don’t care about any lives but American lives. No wonder the rest of the world hates us.

If this doesn’t unite the PUMA’s nothing will. I’m so glad to see Obama picked someone that he has something in common with – plagarism!

“Thinking I didn’t have to prepare.” Who does that remind me of? Does Saddleback come to mind?

Let’s go down our checklist of Obama’s supporters attacks against McCain, shall we?
1. Too old
2. In Washington for 36 years
3. Anger/temper problems
4. Voted for the Iraq War
McCain? No… Biden! This is just too priceless!

McCain’s Tax plan; Change we can Xerox.
McCain’s Iraq War stand: Change we can Xerox
Bush’s Time Line; Change we can Xerox

Quote from Joe Biden -
“I am not running for vice president,” he said in a Fox interview. “I would not accept it if anyone offered it to me. The fact of the matter is I’d rather stay as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee than be vice president.”
Joe Biden is up for reelection in 2008 for his Senate seat. Does he run for both VP and Senate at the same time?

Gracie -
My guess is that Biden knows he’s on a losing ticket and will not step aside from his senate seat. So much for his confidence.

Sure Jake, the republicans will use all this stuff against Biden. It’s how this game is played. As Obama has said, politics ain’t bean bag.
That said, Obama has made a wise choice. Biden is a good, solid pick who brings experience and clarity to the ticket.
This decision reaffirms my belief in Obama and his judgment.
Obama/Biden 08!

Gracie -
Yes. Kerry didn’t resign his senate seat when he ran for the presidency and I’ll bet anything Biden won’t resign his.
Just as McCain hasn’t resigned his.
I think this is something that should not be permitted to happen, but since the Senators who would have to vote on this aren’t about to vote themselves out of a job when/if they lose, it will never happen.

Biden was actually endorsing a Kerry/McCain ticket in ’04!
It’s going to make it difficult for him to go after McCain with any credibility.
But then, credibility has never been Biden’s strong suit.

You know it’s bad when even CNN calls Biden a one man gaffe machine.

Instead of the 3AM phone it was a 3AM page— and it was after the “crisis” was all over the news networks.

Priceless. Obama has gone against everything his “new style” of politics was suppose to be about. Absolutely priceless.

Did Biden serve in the military?

A verbal pit bull of sorts who has foreign policy expertise. Biden can play bad cop to Obamas good cop. His strengths far outweigh his weaknesses.

Obama bi(n La)den ’08
And they get mad when reporters confuse his name with world terrorist #1? Is this some sort of bad joke? Has anyone checked Howard Dean’s sanity lately?

The Men’s club is alive and well. There’s nothing exciting about this election. Obama says he’s taking the high ground but I beg to differ. Many media continue to promote him. We really don’t know much about him, just questionable material in his books. Where are the media in giving us some solid investigative reporting? What is he offering Ms. Clinton’s supporters, absolutely nothing. Women voices are being pushed to the back of the venue.

Priceless.
The McCainiacs are so out of their depth, they now have to run to Democrats’ quotes to disparage Obama.
They can’t find one themselves.
Well, be sure you attribute the quotes every time you use it. Otherwise you will be accused of plagiarizing as well.
Be careful out there.

McCain admonished Putin on Russian troops in Georgia and talked about forcefully removing them. Zero dollars
Putin responded by asking McCain, “You and what army?” Priceless
Obama said that there needs to be a time table for withdrawing troops from Iraq. Zero dollars
President Bush has inked a deal to have troops withdrawn by 2011. Priceless
Judgement my friends- Obama/Biden 2008

Peach: “Biden was actually endorsing a Kerry/McCain ticket in ’04!”
I don’t think McCain wants his base to be reminded at that …
The Evangelicals will be apalled to learn that McCain had had discussions with Kerry in ’04 about being his running mate.
As they will be when they learn that McCain has been an Episcopalian his entire life. Until last September that is, when he suddenly started telling people that he was a Baptist.

You must be kidding!!!! JOE BIDEN??????
C’MON GUYS — CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN???? Oh no — that does it for me. It’s McCain all the way in ’08.
PUMA

Wow, I didn’t think Obama would really go through with it. Biden really puts the lid on several issues.
- WA outsider. Closed
- Against Iraq war. Closed
- Shares views with Obama. Closed
- Fresh and young. Closed…McCain doesn’t look so old compared to Biden.
- Party unity. Clinton was never considered. Bye-bye HRC supporters.
At least this makes the decision easier for dems on the fence.

Obama could have selected Mary, Mother of Jesus as his running mate and you still would have voted McCain.

NEWS FLASH: In a desperate attempt to add GRAVITAS to the ticket OBAMA names BIDEN as his VP pick.
BYLINE: BIDEN has previously stated that OBAMA lacks the experience to be PRESIDENT.

I could have easily vote for Biden for President.
I will not vote for Obama under any circumstances: I will not reward with my vote all the race-baiting, the undemocratic tactics to steal the primaries rigging the caucuses, the backroom deals by the DNC to accomplish a faction coup within the Democratic party, with the complicity of the MSM.

I had not realized Biden was the same age as Cheney.
Since the libs made a big deal about Cheney’s draft deferrments, maybe we should make a big deal out of Biden’s.

“Democrats sure feel confident that the problems in the U.S. right now will overshadow political kerfuffles like these.”

McCain should pick a sharp smart woman. There are lots of those. Then it’s a test of of Pelosi against her own gender, and to see if they can quit sabotaging each other.
I did warn you about the texting stunt. Surely you didn’t believe he was going to lose the newscycle to the Internet? He may be inexperienced but he isn’t naive.
What the McCain camp should do now is dig into Obama’s advisor’s blogs and see what kind of proposals they are making. That will tell the country what to expect from an Obama administration, that is, fill in the gaps of the mystery candidate by outlining the thinking of his 300 Spartacles.
… all of whom will be deeply disappointed should this man win because as the texting scam proves once again Obama is about Obama.

At least Biden chose an illustrious individual to plagiarize from, not Georgian facts from the Wikepedia like McCain.

Dear PUMAs,
Your darling Hill brings nothing to the ticket….no foreign policy, economic, or military exprience. She lied about Bosnia, Ireland, and totally exagerated about China. She failed miserably at healthcare. She’s totally polarizing. Not to mention, both she and Bill HATE Obama. Plus, she adds NO change and she would bring out the Repubs in full force. What does she bring to the table besides a bunch of crazed angry women and their male appeasers? NOTHING! Biden was the best choice. Now you can just take your toys and go home if you want.
