Joe Biden on C-Span . . . now

[bigtree]

:kick:

[Eurobabe]

1. thanks just set to record!!

out for a bike ride before the sun sets. :hi:

[tridim]

2. Nice, he's in GOP country!

Talking to the "Del Boca Vista" types.

These seniors will love him. :)

[ComplimentarySwine]

4. Del Boca Vista, Phase 2? n/t

[oviedodem]

3. please take note of how Biden talks vs Palin, substance vs nothing

[tridim]

5. I've never heard Palin "talk", I've only heard her read two speeches.

Has she ever just talked to voters?

[oviedodem]

6. Well maybe read her speeches and listen to her convention speech

and I BET all she does is regurgitate RW talking points.

[AuntPatsy]

7. Thanks for the heads up...

[oviedodem]

8. Knows EVERY Israeli PM, his foreign policy knowledge just on Israel is insane

[peoli]

9. holy shit he kicks ass!

[tridim]

12. Speaking about important World issues, off-the-cuff.

Talking about issues Palin couldn't even pretend to know about.

The contrast is striking.

[trashcanistanista]

10. He is doing so great!

He would not have given up his job as chairman of Senate foreign relations for Vice president - which is a fine job, but VICE president! Got a laugh. Biden is on top of the game.

God, I love this guy!

[elkston]

18. Just to clarify

He said he would not have given up his Senate job unless he thought in his gut that Obama's was with him with respect to Israel.

[oviedodem]

11. I wonder if Palin even knows 1/3 the middle east history Biden knows

[trashcanistanista]

13. Israel is less secure today than it

was 8 years ago. We will make it more secure. "The stronger America is, the greatest American influence is, the stronger Israel is because we are her best last chance"!

[trashcanistanista]

14. First question from audience - Palin -

what does he think? He doesn't know her, he respects her, will not make the judgement. Takes her on face value. Children are off limits. As his mom says, we have all been through things with our children. Treat people with common decency. He does not know about her positions on the issues. Good answer Joe.

[blondeatlast]

15. Thanks; I can't watch now, but he is brilliant off the cuff. nt

[RockaFowler]

16. I love him

He is just so eloquent and he speaks from the heart. This man is awesome!!!

[trashcanistanista]

17. Second question - lady who is taking

care of Alzheimer's does the O/Joe ticket have plans for research? Joe: We support stem cell research (applause) doubling money going to NIH, they want families to keep parents with them as long as possible if it's their wish - its morally correct and economically smarter to reimburse kids taking care of parents than facilities providing long term care. None will happen until we get affordable health care for all Americans, that is number one domestic problem we have.

[trashcanistanista]

19. Third question pro choice: Biden sez -

Next pres is likely to have between 1 and 3 justices on Supreme Court. Next presidnet will determine that issue it is hanging by a vote. He has presided on Judiciary over more SCOTUS choices than anyone. He will be liason with Senate and House, his input is reinforcing where Barack will take the court. He fought against Roberts and Alito, this will not happen in a Barack Biden administration. These seniors are sharp with their questions.

[trashcanistanista]

20. Holy shit! Senior asking if they will restore

the Constitution and pursue those who went against it. Biden says yes - we will not be stopped from pursuing any criminal offense that has occurred. Mentions Waxman and Conyers. They are building files, we will go through it with a fine toothed comb. If there is basis to pursue it they will, not out of vengeance, out of the need to pursue it because no one is above the law.

[blondeatlast]

21. I Can't thank you enough; I can't watch but wish I could. He's one of the

best speakers I've ever heard.

[trudyco]

24. OMG. He said that? OK I forgive FISA and bankruptcy bill.

I've got goosebumps.

What's the chances they'll stick to it after they win the election?

I mean, if they listen to Waxman and Conyers the world might actually stop being topsy-turvy.

That gives me hope.

[trashcanistanista]

25. Yes he said it. Making it clear

that it wouldn't be because of revenge. I hope they stick to it, he is on camera saying it. I was more shocked that the question came up from an average American, this is more of a DU type question. I was thrilled that people are thinking along these lines. It restores my faith in the intelligence of Americans and what is important to them and of course, seniors do vote.

[trashcanistanista]

22. It's over, couldn't get it all down

but he did very well, it looked like a packed house, It should be rerun later today and it is worth watching.

[Thrill]

23. Wow I just saw this event. He is going to win so many votes

in rural America and small parts of states

[Eurobabe]

26. Great words from Joe, let's see McCain't/Impaled

repeat that.
