Biden (Brutal. Just Brutal): "He Was Bragging To The Folks Who He NOW Calls Greedy'

[kpete]

Biden Smacks McCain Around On Financial Regulation: “Where Was He A Week Ago?”
By: Blue Texan Wednesday September 17, 2008 12:31 pm


Joe Biden thinks McSame's newly-found enthusiasm for regulating the financial industry is total bullshit.

“All of a sudden it’s my goodness there’s greed on Wall Street, my goodness we need common sense regulation,” Biden said.

...

“Look, if John cares so much about this now, where was he a week ago?” Biden asked. “Where was he a month ago? Where was he 5 years ago? I’ll tell you where he was, he was bragging to the folks on Wall Street, to the executives who now he calls ‘greedy.’ He was bragging to them how we’re going to shred the regulation that fetters them, that ties them down.”

.................

Brutal. Just brutal.

Whatever Biden had for breakfast, I hope the campaign has plenty of it in stock.

1. Wow - - Great Quote

Awesome. I think this election is rapidly, shall we say, turning in our favor. Obama's preparation for the first debate is absolutely critical. Joe is awesome. Just fantastic.

5. Mccain ---> "I know how to do it - I know how to do it"

[Brigid]

21. Know how to do what?

You've already admitted that you're even less computer literate than my mother, who is only just getting started with them.

[vanderBeth]

6. Keep on quoting these Biden speeches

I love him so much.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[flpoljunkie]

7. Voters apparently do not understand 'subtle'--you apparently need to hit them over the head!

Great that both Obama and Biden are "kickin' ass and takin' names!"

[silverweb]

8. Beat 'em up, Joe!

GO Joe!

:woohoo:

[frylock]

9. this is what people want to hear..

not some nuanced, ass-kissing bullshit. keep bringing it, Joe!!

[mokawanis]

10. Biden is a very tough opponent

the contrast between him and Palin is remarkable. He's on the attack every day and doing a great job.

[JuniperLea]

11. Now! Tell me who picked the better running mate?

:rofl:

[Cha]

12. It took a brick wall to fall on mccain to realize that saying the

"Economy was sound" wasn't cutting it anymore so he changed his verbage.

[MadMaddie]

22. But of course he meant the "American worker was sound"!

What an ass.......

[Cha]

23. And they had to go on Defense with

palin whining "Not Fair Verbage!"

[MadMaddie]

30. It's pretty pathetic isn't it?

[moondust]

13. Hammer away, Joe!!

[Orsino]

14. My nipples just went "Spung!" Audibly.

What Biden is demonstrating here isn't necessarily the most important job of a candidate...but it is what he does better than nearly anyone.

He hasn't left the McCain camp any room for a comeback. Bravo!

[yardwork]

15. And every word is true.

McCain's financial adviser is Phil Gramm, who authored one of the final nails in Wall Street's coffin. Biden voted against it. McCain of course voted for it.

[BeyondGeography]

16. LOL...in your face, Gramps

There's no one better at getting in McCain's head in the Democratic Party. No one.

[tekisui]

17. Joe has been on fire!!!

It is amazing, Obama and Biden keep the conversation going, keep it in perspective. They update and adapt how they are talking to the American People.

mcPOW backpeddles and sticks his foot in his mouth. Phalin reads the same script, like she's doing dinner theater.

[curious one]

18. Wow!

[polichick]

19. TERRIFIC paragraph!

[Brigid]

20. You go, Joe!

And don't stop until election day! :yourock:

[saltpoint]

24. Side note to Sarah Palin: Governor, this is the guy you'll be debating

in a few short days.

Good luck.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

25. Chainsaw Joe. Killing them with the truth.

I swear he is Harry Truman reincarnated.

If anyone wants to see a little more detail about the speech in Ohio in which Biden included these comments, there's a story at CNNPolitics.com:
