Here’s the Video of Biden on Clinton [Update]

By SusanUnPC on September 10, 2008 at 6:48 PM in Hillary Clinton, Joe "Bro" Biden, Joe Biden

It turns out there’s more to the story of the reference by Joe Biden to Hillary Clinton today.

Joe Biden and Barack Obama are appearing rather desperate in the effusive praise of Hillary Clinton.(There’s something poignant about the plight of desperate men once so full of themselves and their sure victory.)

‘course, before John McCain picked Sarah Palin, Hillary wasn’t worth the time of day. But now, boy, she’s the greatest (and, wink, a woman) — why, she’s even better than Joe (and, wink, a woman).

[UPDATE: I can't believe I'm quoting Dennis Miller, but he made soem great points on O'Reilly's show tonight. He said that Sarah Palin has gotten INSIDE Barack's head -- in fact, she's gotten inside the heads of ALL the Democrats -- and she's thundering around in there, and got him way off his game. Miller also said that he thinks the Democrats picked the wrong person, and that if they'd nominated Hillary Clinton, it is certain that Hillary Clinton would have done the smart thing and selected Obama as her running mate (whereas Obama failed to realize how important it was for him to select Clinton).]

Those two men remind me of the adage about some people not appreciating the value of something until it’s gone.

Here’s a quote via the Boston Globe:

“Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America,” Biden said. “Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend; she is qualified to be president of the United States of America. She’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America and quite frankly it might have been a better pick than me, but she is first-rate.”

Now there’s this, from Lynn Sweet at the Chicago Sun-Times: “Biden, facing Palin debate, said Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm may be stand-in.”

Women politicians CAN be useful!

If they get frantic enough, Barack and Joe may dig Eleanor Roosevelt out of the ground and prop her up on the stage.

A little self-dignity is in order, guys.

    hmmmm.

    Hey Barack! Aint Karma a bitch!

    LOL!

    • sjl106

      Hillary is WAY more qualified to be President than the “one”. A little to late. obama is getting what has been coming to him for a very long time, while he called Hillary a bitch in his jz rap song in SC to flipping her off in Indiana and deminishing her role around the world to a tea party. I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING JUSTICE BEING SERVED!

      • rw

        It was with the tea party comment that made me turn off to him. Tea parties are civilized rituals and to hear him denigrate both Hillary’s political contribution/experience and tea parties made me realized what hole this guy crawled out of.

        • Lochos Vestu

          JOE BIDEN!

          You know what, you are turning out to be a pretty nice guy. BUT I DISLIKE THAT TRASH STICKING WITH YOU CALLED OBAMA!

          HILLARY ’12!!!

        Thank you for reference here. I cannot ever forget the insulting rapper-wannabe act of Obambi on stage in N.C. dusting her off and scrapihng off his shoes…disrespecting his fellow female senator in vile ways unprintable!! How presidential this juvenile megalomaniac thug really is, eh? SHAME ON BARRY HUSSEIN! the CAMOUFLAGED MISOGYNIST OF THIS ELECTION!

    • Maverick

      These men are pathetic losers..LOL choke choke cough. LOL-Totally ridiculous candidates these two bozo men are..er Biden and Fraudbama.

    • http://MaqisBHOTroll mary

      Hillary even ASKED Obama during the primaries to become her V-P! He laughted it off condescendingly and asked her to drop off the race.

      Connie Francis sang….”Who’s Sorry Now”…let’s dedicate it to the Anorexic Resume and Snob of the exDemocratic Party of Misogyny!

  • catherine

    This is unbelieveable. We all know Hillary should have been the nominee not the VP. It is too damn bad the DNC did not see this- they only have themselves to blame when the Dems lose. Even Biden recognizes this.

    • Shainzona

      Don’t buy this crap…now they will invoke her name to pretend that they love her. BULLSHIT.

      They treated her like shit and they’re only using her now because they need her.

      HILLARY: TELL OBAMA/BIDEN TO GO TO HELL!

      • Hope Floats

        That’s right. Obama / Biden 08 Pigs Squared can go to hell. That video made me feel so sad. The audience looked like it was falling asleep.

    • norrismorris

      Obama was not vetted for the #1 spot in US by Dems. His background has been scrubbed. He is beginning to act listless, angry and unfocussed as Palin pick showed him up as a poor leader who didn’t have the sense to pick Hillary [if she even wanted it].

      Buyers remorse has already set in as many big Clinton donors have not bellied up bucks, and Obama’s rejection of federal funds leaves him short of money. RNC has far more [$300 million] in their coffers than Dems. Golden boy’s donors have maxed out except for the biggies, so Obama has to spend precious time at fund raisers rather than in hard campaigning in swing states he doesn’t understand.

      I have received 4 requests for $$$ with 10 days from Obama camp. And I know more than a few Clinton supporters who are not voting or will go McCain.

      Obama has not made the case with blue collars amd older women, and I don’t think he knows how. Biden who is a very nice, informed man is not the right pick for his ticket. His foreign policy strength is what it’s all about…..but I hear nothing.

      All the noise is now directed at McCain/Palin.

      Thank you Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi and the rest of you coward superdelegates who allowed yourselves to be threatened into giving up Hillary.

      Once again, the Democratic Party is at the brink.

  • ame

    I give Biden credit; it was a nice thing to say. Doesn’t serve him well though.

    • Mirlo

      He is just using her! Don’t give him credit for that! He trashed her as well before. Sarah is scaring them, boy!

      • http://MaqisBHOTroll memi

        Mirlo
        Why is Biden using Hillary with this effusive praise. What’s the motive?? Apparently, he responded to someone who wanted to trash HIllary.

    • Snickers

      I give Biden no credit, remember Anita Hill. He’s a sexist too and both he and Barry deserve to lose.

      • norrismorris

        We have all learned that sexism is acceptable from this election period.

        This Rovian masterstroke shows Democrats as sexist wonks, and McCain as a fearless guy who has no problems with a strong woman.

        True or not, this is the perception. This is retail politics as Tip O’Neil said, and perception is everything.

        GOP apparently will do all it can to attack Obama so most of his time will be spent in refutation rather than stumping. Between being defensive and scrounging for the big $$, Obama wll lose momentum.

        Didn’t anyone tell Obama that he’s running for President and should avoid Palin? It’s Biden’s job, but errrrr… that would give Biden lotsa air time.

        Axelrod must be in a twit.

    • tj

      Maybe Biden is already sick of BO. He seems not to care too much for anyone who he believes to be lower then himself. I am wondering what is going on between the two. Again to be a fly on the wall! Biden may be thinking that his boss to be is a little bit childish and needs to grow up. I know he wants to be VP, but maybe he doesnt stink as bad as bambie.

      • norrismorris

        I think Biden is very smart and sees that Axelrod and Camp Obama are tryng to control him. For all we know he can’t contribute and knows he is being poorly used.

        He’s an experienced pol and must see the errors quickly, so while he’s savvy and loyal there will be trouble in Paradise. Biden should have been out at the gate ASAP re: Palin. Instead, Obama gets to act like a jerk and attacks Palin. Or worse, APPEARS to attack Palin.

        That’s Biden’s job, but Camp Obama continues defensive play. Biden could have been the attack dog while Obama continued to make his case on the economy, and other vital issues we are all waiting to hear details about.

  • JohninCA

    Paul Begala just compared Sarah to a monkey and McCain to an organ grinder. I think his exact words on CNN were, ‘why shoot the monkey when you can shoot the organ grinder’– I still can’t believe what I’m hearing.

    • lark

      You got be kidding me. Again they are putting Obama on the defense by pushing the obnoxiousty envelope one more step towards the edge. Obama will never be able to get to the issues and that’s the only way (he says) he can win.

      • http://purplechiten.wordpress.com Chiten

        He doesn’t want to get to the issues because he knows he has a blank slate. The only thing he could possibly do is use Hillary’s stance on the issues. Maybe they’re buttering her up in hopes of her “tutoring” him on what the issues are and how to handle them.

        • Ani

          Isn’t it amazing how prescient that February/ March Saturday Night Live sketch was?

          Obama at 3 am in the Oval Office, (not that he’ll ever be elected), chain smoking and cursing, calling Hillary — she answers the phone with face cream on and curlers and Obama asks her how to solve a crisis with Russia — she of course gives him all the appropriate instructions and goes back to sleep.

          Priceless.

          We saw this coming. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey saw this coming.

          How could the DNC be so willfully blind? Answer — they were not. They were afraid Hillary would clean house, so they did not want her and did everything they could to bury her.

          • Maverick

            They’ll get a house cleaning anyway. McCain adn Palin will be sweeping out congress. LOL Karma is a beach. They can’t say we didn’t warn them.

          • elise

            Geraldine Ferraro was on the Greta show tonight. She ask Gerry about the lipstick comment and she referred back to the false racist charges against Hillary and Bill Clinton in the primary and she went on to say the GE is a whole different ballgame. It was really subtle, but I felt she was saying, “Karma is a b$#@h”.

            The first step in correcting a problem is admitting you have one. The Democratic Congressional delegation needs to admit the sexism in the Party and the primary campaign, issue an apology to Hillary and her supporters for their failure to speak out and resolve to confront it where and when it happens no matter what the political affiliation of the woman.

            If they do that and follow through, maybe in 2012, they can make up some of the moral high ground they have lost in the last year and a half. These attacks against Gov. Palin are unforgivable as were the same types of attacks against Hillary.

          • K. Wynne

            Ani,

            You are very astute in your observation that the DNC knew Hillary would “clean house” and believe me, there’s a lot of crap to clean up and it would be very embarassing to the DNC hierarchy if the truth of how they have betrayed the democratic party’s membership ever came to light.

            Furthermore, I believe the old boy’s club were even more afraid she’d end the frat party they’ve been having in Congress for decades!

            Hillary is truly a threat to the status quo and so is Sarah Palin.

            Let’s face it, the overwhelming positive response to Governor Palin is directly linked to the overwhelming desire for real change, except the dems in their misognynistic haze just couldn’t acknowledge that fact.

            McCain has brilliantly stolen what should have been the dems and I’ll never forgive them for that.

          • norrismorris

            Absolutely correct. A coup within the party to gain control, power, and $$$. And to rid themselves of the Clintons who would not put up with incompetence from the likes Dean and Pelosi to name a few in power in the party who are do nothings.

            This was a coup. Obama is their guy. Oy.

            What terrible judgement.

            Yes! I must have viewed countles times that famous March episode of SNL’s Hillary-Obama 3:00 AM call routine! Wonder if we could still view it!?…

            Priceless! Truth…stranger than fiction!
            And the guy playing Obama must have been his white twin!

    • NoTrollZone

      but of course we could say the same thing about Obama and Axelrod, right? I mean we could point out that Axelrod’s the organ grinder and Obama’s the monkey, right? I mean there’s be no problem in doing that, right? F-ing ass–les.

      • NoTrollZone

        plus, of course, we could mention shooting both the organ grinder and the monkey like this stupid dumbshit did, right? that wouldn’t be calling for Obama’s death, right? that would be okay, right?

      • http://purplechiten.wordpress.com Chiten

        oh, it would be ‘racist’ if you used the same line pertaining to obama. It would be similar to “someone” from the obama camp referring to the republican ticket as “putting lipstick on a pig” …and they’d NEVER do that would they?
        If the democratic party (my own party that I am ashamed of) is free to use sexism, then I will not stand up for him if the republican party uses racism against him. It’s fair game now and I just don’t give a damn.
        He has unashamedly used blatant sexism, both in the primary and now in the General Election. HE is a SEXIST PIG, although I don’t know if he wears lipstick (we could ask some of his lovers from the “down low” to find out perhaps).
        I don’t want to vote republican, I want to vote democrat, but with Obama and his sexism at the top of the ticket, I can’t do that. Where does that leave those of us in the democratic party who have morals? What are we supposed to do? I can’t support the man and his sexism. I have no candidate to support because of this. What am I supposed to do? I refuse to “not vote” and I refuse to vote for him. As a democrat, what am I supposed to do? What option is left?

        • jd4hill

          As a lifelong Dem myself, I re-registered as an Independent and I will be voting for McCain. With a Dem congress — which he has been very willing to work with all these years, I can live with that.

          Obama is a disaster, his sexism disgusts me — but worse is that he is a charlatan and doesn’t know what he is doing. Nor do I trust him on any policy since he has flip flopped on everything already — how the hell do I know what he is going to do in the White House.

          As far as I am concerned, not voting for ‘President’ on the ballot is a vote for him. If I want to keep him from being elected, I have to bite the bullet and vote for McCain. I can understand if people have different feelings on this subject.

          Just my two cents.

          • Maverick

            Obama will claim that empty top slot on the ballot as a vote for himself since it’s a dem ticket. Obama claimed votes for himself from registered voters who didn’t cast a vote in the primaries. They use a list of voters who didn’t vote. That was in the primary. Beware. Many pumas think the empty top slot will stay empty. My, My, My. After all we have been through and seen, do you really think the top slot will stay empty? naw naw naw. I don’t expect anyone to believe me. I was screaming really loud about vote fraud back in Februaury and Hill bloggers thought I was off my rocker. Hill camp believed me though.

        • fluffy bunny

          Vote for Nader if you can’t vote for McCain. Nader is a good man who walks the walk. Don’t leave the top blank.

          • TheGhost

            Beware voting for others like Nader or Barr and not McCain.

            If it is a really really close election, in which the winner wins by a few thousand, or even an toss-up, battleground state is won or lost by a “few” electoral votes, that “few” could mean the difference between McCain or Obama.

            To keep Obama OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE, the only way to guarantee that is for the disaffected democrats to vote for McCain. Period. In this kind of an election, leaving the top slot blank, is a vote for Obama.

            Not voting on that day AT ALL, is a vote for Obama to possibly get into the White House.

            Voting for any other third party individuals can make the election get even closer and that is what any one does not want who does not want BHO to win and get into the White House.

            This election is critical, crucial and is going to be a jaw-dropping one. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by because you won’t get a do-over.

            Only a landslide win by McCain can guarantee that BHO won’t be able to run again in a national election, with his games, sexism and pathological untruths.

            He might even lose his senatorial seat when it comews up for re-election, and that is what one should want. He needs to make for himself another career that fits more with his inordinate and presumptuous ambitions.
            Maybe startup a rock group or become a stand-up comedian, getting the crowds to roar,applaud and treat him like a king. Actually, he could be another Elvis.. !!

            He doesn’t have the best interests of this nation at heart. He is all about HIMSELF.

            He is competing with his cousin Raila Odinga who is now as of March 2008, the Prime Minister of Kenya, to see who can get the higher position in political elections. Remember, BHO is a member of the LUO tribe of Kenya by his paternal side of the family.

  • Joe Biden’s hair plugs speak out!

    Did you hear the hesitation after he said “quite frankly,,.” and then he said UHHH… we know what almost slipped from our host body’s lips:

    Quite frankly, I wish she’d have taken the Veep nod when Barky boy offered it to her. Now I’m freakin stuck until November.

    • http://purplechiten.wordpress.com Chiten

      Hillary should be at the top of the ticket where she belongs.
      If, by chance or miracle, that happens before November, there will be a Democrat in the WhiteHouse again. Otherwise, I just don’t see how it could happen.

    Best Political move of the Year – McCain picking Palin Dumbest political move of the Year – Obama picking Biden. Obama’s slogan is CHANGE and Biden hasn’t even changed his seat in 35 years. Obama and Biden both have real estate problems, Obama had Tony Rezko help him buy his Mansion, Biden sold his house for $200,000 over market value to an Exec at MBNA, the credit card company and Biden’s largest contributor.

    On the issue of McCain continuing campaigning in tandem with Palin

    I though they would. Is a big big risk because they would be counting with TV networks to spread their message and would have to spend quite a bit of money to reach the whole country.

    I think that if they can keep Obama on the defensive then they can do that successfully. If they can’t then they either break up or risk loosing the election.

    Obama is ‘charismatic’ and a pathological liar. A very attractive combination for those who are swayed by words and get exited visually. Since Biden is a Zero in terms of attraction, in reality Oblahblah is campaigning alone. Considering that, then the visual and charismatic effect of McCain/Palin beats Oblahblah.

    Had Bush III (for idiot) picked Hillary, McCain would have lost big time.

    • http://noquarterusa.net/ SusanUnPC

      You make a really important point.

      Obama IS campaigning alone.

      Joe Biden has zero value on the campaign trail. I wouldn’t walk across the street to watch him.

      (That’s not because I dislike him — it’s just that it wouldn’t interest me to hear him. I’ve heard him countless times already on TV. And he’s not that interesting.)

      (There is a down side to McCain and Palin splitting up — obviously they’re hugely more effective together but would, as you point out, have to rely on television a lot more. However, these days, McCain should be able to attract bigger crowds and, well, Sarah. We know she’ll get huge crowds by herself.)

      • lark

        Yeah, they are UNFORGETABLE. So once they appear in a setting people will take the memories all the way to the polls.

        • Diana

          I have confidence in Sarah, the same as I did Hillary. I was listening to the Governor debate, she debated with seasoned politicians and made them look like they had nothing but air/pandering to offer the constituents.

          She’s more like Hillary than Obama/Biden, his campaign, supporters care to think. I think Hillary knows this also. She’s passionate in her answers. You can see her thoughts/emotions on a subject shine through. You know she’s talking one on one to “You”. She doesn’t try to use the audience, she works with them/acknowledges them. Also, she doesn’t get long winded with the pandering to a question. Joe will, he loves to talk. She’s straight foward and to the point. Like Hillary we know she loves this country. Wants to protect it. She is passionate on issues that affect working class families. Children.

          I think that’s why she said she respects that in Hillary, that Hillary is there to get the job done. To go from point A to point B. She is the same way. “Here’s the problem we know what it’s going to take to fix it, let’s fix it. We don’t have to pander, and spend more money than is needed. Let’s save that money.” She’s going to clean up wasteful spending and she’s going to use “us/the people” to do it. McCain is going to let her shine as a VP more than any other president in history has done with their VP. To show us she “was” the right choice.

          Anyway just my two pennies worth.

  • trails

    Oh my, “Mr. Foreign Policy,” Joe Biden, is afraid to debate Palin? He”s so jangled that he’s planning to hide behind a woman’s skirt?

    It really shows how dumb he is. If he paid attention to what he was saying/reading, he would have used another analogy.

He’s still living in his dream world. Isn’t he aware half the media has turned on him already?

  • Peggy Sue

    Joe Biden isn’t completely stupid. I think he’s trying to lower expectations, while thinking he can deliver a fatal blow to Palin–the hockey Mom from Alaska.

    The problem with that strategy is this: I have this sneaking suspicion that when Palin says she’s a pitbull, she means it and is that and a whole lot more. You don’t get to where she is today at a relatively young age [very young in politics] and particularly as a women without having a whole lot of grit, raw talent and heat-seeking determination.

    This will be the Mother of all Debates. Should be quite an event!

    • fluffy bunny

      Yes they do. And judging by recent remarks by Steinem and Allred, they may be right. And if Hillary really campaigns for them and the rest of the Clintonites like Begala fall in line behind Obama, more women may choose to vote for Obama for POTUS, unfortunately.

      The veep debate won’t be fair for Palin. The moderator is way in the tank for Obama. I’m sure she’s working very hard to prepare as many traps as possible in her questions.

    …keep in mind here folks… Biden was responding to a statement by someone in the nashua crowd who said they were glad BHO picked Biden instead of Hillary. It was nice of Joe to stick up for Hillary Clinton. Dont matter tho… the day McCain picked Palin, the race was officially over.

    Now, if we can just get him removed from the Senate due to that lil’ eligibility lawsuit filed by Berg. Good ridance forever.

    Bye Bye Barack!

    • beverly leslie

      Sorry, but I can’t give Joe any credit. I find it odd someone would make such a stupid and off topic comment (I say he was planted by barky’s people). I say they are looking for more votes.

      Where was Joe when it mattered who won the nomination? He was kissing Barky’s ass, and backstabbing Hillary. He is just as responsible as anyone else in the DNC for the mess the Dems are in. He’s not fooling me and I could care less what he says now.

      When it mattered he was up Barky’s ass for his own political gain. So Joe’s words mean nothing. It’s actions which matter.

  • politicsIsdirty

    Don’t tell me Biden is going to do an act of sacrifice, that is, to withdraw to give way to Clinton.

    • http://purplechiten.wordpress.com Chiten

      If he does, it’ll be the only chance obama has of winning…but there’s still the problem with obama being at the top of the ticket instead of at the bottom of the chicago ladder where he should be if he hadn’t lied and stabbed people in the back and stepped over them trying to get up the ladder.
      good thing he wasn’t on the titanic, the women and children would be out of luck because he would have taken an entire life boat to himself.

    Obama is radioactive.

    • elise

      Kat, I agree with the comment Beverly made up thread. Biden was one of those candidates saying Hillary couldn’t win because she was “polarizing”. In fact, I wonder if he and Dodd were in the campaign just to attack her for Obama and then back out and throw their support to him. I think this campaign has made me paranoid and suspicious of every one’s motives.

  • lark

    Biden turns his back to the audience while speaking to them and then continues to look down to the floor. This way he convinces no-one of what he is saying, not even on the subject of Hillary’s greatness.

    Biden’s efforts in campaigning amount to the total sum of Zer0.

  • http://www.theindependentview.com Matthew Weaver

    Biden is just a warm body to fill the role; he wasn’t a threat to Obama who couldn’t have someone on his ticket that might outshine him. Biden’s misfortune is that he along for the ride and the upcoming trainwreck and his lack of enthusiasm is very evident in his visibility and comments.

    • http://MaqisBHOTroll jd1

      Yes Matthew! but I still think there’s time for Hillary to knock off the McCain-Palin ticket if Obama resigns. Palin’s just a new flash-in-pan kinda woman with no real interest in foreign affairs, and doesn’t really understand TODAY’S WOMEN like abortion,she’s like old-fashioned and cna’t be trusted! and also Sara wants to burn books in libraries.Don’t think Sara’s “with it” kinda woman really, but looks cool, like in an Obama-kind way! Don’t you think Obama and Palin are more close than Bush and Obama-They’re both barbie-dolls!

    Tomorrow after Obambi appears next to the next President, in all his glorious arrogance, Palin will appear next to his son and proudly giving him farewell and godspeed to Iraq.

  • Concerned Citizen

    You can see it coming….

    Biden has a “Medical Emergency” and has to drop off the ticket. Hillary will replace him.

    This will be an indirect result of a terminal case of “Foot in Mouth Disease”.

    At that point, Hillary will come back on the ticket. Barry will pay a very, very dear price for this, that no one will know about until several years later, when Bill gets appointed to the UN and has unlimited use of the Lincoln Bedroom for “entertaining”.

    Of course, the real reason for this melodrama is Obama’s extremely poor judgement passing by Hillary in the first place, which portends the kind of decision making we should expect from President Obama.

    You heard it here first!! LOL!!

    • lark

      That’s the problem with that ticket and we would be derelict to vote for it with Oblahblah at the top. We already know Obama will paralize this country with his flip-flop and insulting attitude.

    I don’t shed any tears for Joe. His and I might add John Edwards work for big money has screwed a lot of hard working Americans. Biden was one of four Democrats who help defeat all amendments to the Bankruptcy law that would help people in the military, severe health problems, etc. These guys don’t become very wealthy buy working for the voters who send them to DC.

  • Newly Independent

    Now Joe Biden and Barack Obama are so desperate that they’re willing to bring HER up in a campaign rally! (There’s something poignant [not really] about the plight of desperate men once so full of themselves and their sure victory.)

  • an observer

    We all know that Obama is a product of Soros’ money, but, what a bout McCain?

    A group that McCain co-chaired, a good-government outfit called the Reform Institute, received $150,000 from Soros in 2003 — when McCain was its honorary co-chair and McCain’s current campaign manager was its president.

    In 2002, Soros’ charitable foundation, the Open Society Institute, gave $300,000 in grants to various groups that were defending the Arizona senator’s campaign finance law against legal challenges to it. An OSI spokesperson, Laura Silber, confirms that Soros’ foundation gave $300,000 to the Brennan Center specifically for use defending McCain-Feingold. Brennan subsequently distributed that sum to various groups fighting on behalf of the McCain-sponsored law.

    Soros has contributed a total of $450,000 either to a group co-chaired by McCain or to defending McCain’s pet legislation.

    I fear that, no matter which of these two candidates win, we citizens on Main Street are going to get sold out to the international financial interests and their partners on Wall Street. Both of these candidates have already demonstrated that by their support of the open ended bailout of the derivatives market by the Federal Reseve.

    An op-ed in the NYT points out that only one of the four candidates has sent her kids to public schools. That would be the PTA mom, of course.

    http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/09/the-rantings-of-a-pta-mom/index.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

    The piece is especially damning towards Obama, noting that Hyde Park apparently does have lousy schools because the rich people there likely send their kids to private schools, just like the Obamas do. However, if Obama had organized the community, he might have led the other Hyde Park elite to join the move to the local public schools.

    Thought provoking opinion.

    Is it possible that Biden is putting that out there now so that when/if Hillary gets a chance in 2012 he has alredy started to sway some Obama supporters toward Hillary ?? Lets face it hillary has half of the Democratic party to unbrainwash. They sounded to me so much like the rightwing of 4 years ago during this past primary. I have no Idea if this is true or not its just a thought. Maybe he knows that the Dems are screwed this time around and he is trying to start some damage control.

    • Anne

      Biden just wants some “happy times” when he returns to the Senate, I think. It is OBVIOUS, with this video, he is bracing himself for defeat and questioning his own judgement in accepting the VP slot as well. Imagine that he has some issues with the way the Obama campaign is comporting itself. Imagine that he wants no part of that. Imagine that he is protecting his own legacy.

        Yours is the most perceptive and probably most accurate translation of the Biden “gaffe” or due praise of Hillary! Biden is just protecting his own legacy. He has to return to the Senate and wants to be on friendsly terms with the Empress of the Senate (and the country) Sen. HIllary Clinton. He knows BHO’s chances are diminishing…He’s probably seen by now what Hussein’s really like and despises his Anorexic Resume Boss….Too late!

    Obama channeling Eric Clapton:
    (I just changed a few words)

    It’s Too Late she’s gone
    It’s Too Late, Hillary’s gone
    Wish I had told her that she was the only one
    But It’s Too Late, she’s gone

    It’s a weak man that cries,
    So I guess I best hide my eyes.
    I guess I will miss her more than anyone
    It’s Too Late, she’s gone

    She’s gone, Yes she’s gone
    She’s gone, Hillary’s gone
    She’s gone, Yes she’s gone
    Oh where can she be?

    And I wonder does she know
    When I ditched her, How could I know?
    I need your wimmin, please don’t make me make you veep
    But tell me it’s not too late (just in case)

    Biden doesn’t stand a chance in the debate, practice or not. CSPAN ran the 2006 Alaska Governor debate several times last weekend. Palin knows how to work the audience. She has a background in broadcasting & it shows.

  • Babs

    I think it’s time to put Hillary on the back burner and concentrate one the one thing we need to do to ensure she rises again in 2012, and that is the total annihilation of the DNC and the Obama candidacy. Sorry, folks, no matter how much she campaigns for him, if Obama wins, it is verification that all we saw during the primaries is the new Democratic Party, and Hillary is toast. His disdain of her is palpable, and his arrogance should he win the office of POTUS will allow him to see his treatment of her as acceptable. Does anyone think he would be a gracious winner? I personally do not think he even knows the meaning of the word.

  • Al

    Bravo to Joe Biden for speaking the truth in his praise of Hillary Clinton. She has gone above and beyond what the DNC and Senator Obama would have her do to support him, even in spite of the classless, sexist way Howard Dean and Barack Obama treated her during the primaries.

    http://clearblogs.com/larry/

  • SJ

    What I would like to know is if Biden always knew Hillary was a better pick then he was why did he not tell Obama that, he could of said he did for the sake of the party and winning.

    He took the post, came out and now having second thoughts saying Hillary is better, this is so comical or is it a plan to see if they can pull back some of the lost Hillary supporters.

    Use Hillary’s name out there once again they all wanted her but did not give her even the honor of being on a short list. What about people like Donna Brizille that said she would leave the party if Obama does not get the nomination, do they feel we have forgotten, so now they are coming to play their silly games.

    These people on the democrat side are no longer trustworthy they will say and do anything to win, they are all drunk with power and getting back into government. Now that they are seeing their chances dipping they are playing “it should of been Hillary”, they make me sick looking at all of them on national TV trying to twist the words that they used during the primary for people not to vote for Obama, now they all seem to understand and think what a great man he is, it is really disgusting.

    I have no time for their game and nothing they say now about Hillary will make a difference to me am going with Mc Cain/Palin, Obama should of been smart enough to know putting Hillary on the ticket would of only done one thing help him, he did not well too bad you don’t get second chances in this game to make amends.

    Imagine Lyrics from Barry’s POV:

    Imagine there’s no Hilly
    It’s easy if you think
    No voters beneath us
    Above us only ink
    Imagine all the voters
    Voting for me today

    Imagine there’s no boundaries
    It isn’t hard to do
    No issue to vote for
    And no free press too
    Imagine all the voters
    Living in ignorance

    You may say that I’m a schemer
    But I’m not the only one
    I hope someday you’ll join us
    And my world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    Your income will be shared
    With a brotherhood of men
    Imagine all the people
    With me taxing all the world

    You may say that I’m a schemer
    My plan’s yet to be unfurled
    I hope someday you’ll join us
    as a citizen of the world

    • Docelder

      After watching the video… I am thinking it’s just more of the same condescending talk targeted to women. They know what Palin brought to McCain, they also know they made a mistake belittling Palin, they know they grossly underestimated women voters and they know they desperately need to pimp out Hillary to have even a shot at this point… So, they have somebody in the crowd invoke this canned response from Biden. I don’t believe it was even sincerely spoken. Which would also mean these guys really haven’t learned anything yet… yet.

  • Diana

    I was just sitting her pondering this Sarah neglecting her children bit they’re now trying to push. Biden raised his sons for 5 years alone. In fact…

    As a single father for five years, Biden left standing orders that he be interrupted in the Senate at any time if his boys called

    Now I’d like for one of these Sarah should stay at home raise her children, get her hair done people to explain to me why it was ok for Biden to be in the Senate as a single father for 5 years. Is it because he is a “MAN”? But, it’s not ok for Palin who has a loving husband to take care of her children while she works?

    Is this like the Hypocrisy that Biden also believes that all life begins at conception no different than McCain and Palin. But, that’s OK. He also like McCain voted against public financing for abortions, for banning late term abortions. McCain nor Palin just as Biden haven’t tried to write bills, pass laws, force their beliefs on others.

    So why then again is it ok Biden believes the same as them, but it’s not ok for them? The “hypocrisy” level of the MSM, the Democratic leaders, Obama, Biden just keeps rising and rising. Now he thinks if he panders/praises Hillary she’ll reconsider and be his and Obama’s attack dog? They must really think/believe all women will fall for their cheap pick-up routines. “They’re just trying to use you with Palin”, “She wants to take away your rights”, “She is step backwards for women”. “Oh Hillary is wonderful” “Hillary’s the best” PLEASE! Where THE HELL WHERE YOU JOE BIDEN WHEN HILLARY WAS BEING ATTACKED OVER AND OVER WITH SEXIST COMMENTS????

    I happen to catch the late re-run and this must be a bizzaro world now when Dennis Miller makes good sense. He also said that Sarah Palin had got inside Obama’s head and Obama does not know whether to *hit or wind his watch.
    He also said the Democrats made the wrong choice and Hillary would have picked him and not made that gaffe.
    WOW! Dennis is saying what we all know to be true that HRC would have won this thing and became president, and with HRC being on the ticket as VP, they would have won this thing as well.
    But noooooooooooooooooo! Obama had to jump in and unite us, and wonder how that is going?
    In the electoral maps all this wise asses show, all I can say is if HRC was the nominee, Pa. would not be in play. Ohio would not be in play. Florida would not be in play. Michigan would not be in play.
    Come election night all Fox, CNN or whomever would have to say, ” We call Ohio for HRC” and the election is won. Or, “We call Florida for HRC”. The election is won.
    But as it looks now obama better shore up Pa..If on election night and this is said, “We call Pa. for McCain”, then we all can go to be early.
