YES WE CAN YES WE CAN

Biden's job is to be the bad cop and to attack McCain. Besides, the seven tables joke plays very well with the average middle class voter.

Lol did he just call Barack: Barack America?

he doesn't have 7 houses scattered around the country, he's perfectly justified in making a comment to reinforce just how out of touch and elitist McCain is.

What did I tell you guys? Biden was the right choice.

because of one of his trademark FIRED UP speeches wherein he already made various slip-ups?

Really, you should hold this preemptive crow serving until

1. The debates
2. Obama is elected
3. We see how he is as VP

Until then, nobody knows if he was the right choice. We only have our echo chamber.

Yeah, he's a really down-to-earth, social guy. He'll be terrific for townhall meetings in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan.

I know anything can happen and I know his history, but I also feel like he's learned his lesson and can keep himself in check for 2 and a half months. As for debates, I'm confident he'll be able to handle whoever McCain picks.

Fox will run with the whole thing with Obama saying Biden is the next President mixed with the whole "Biden is the new Cheney" narrative.

Couldn't it have been like,

"there's something about this guy Barack, America"

the thing that annoyed me about this speech (and the only one really) was "literally"

By McCain's own 5 Million Dollar standard, Biden is nowhere near rich or even well-off.

Oh fuck off. The Republicans run on 100% pure sleaze. Go mind your own party for a minute.

It should be noted regarding the indignation at Biden's wealth comments (and Obama's attack on McCain's houses) that to me the real problem with the comment isn't that it shows McCain is much wealthier than most normal people, but that it shows he is so out of touch with even the most basic of things (like his personal income and assets).

There are hints of his being out of touch with America, but it only strikes me as absurd when one rich Senator goes after another - or even a extremely upper class Senator - goes after someone on this basis.

"Are you kidding me? Your toilets are gold-plated!"
"What about the time you had a dinner for friends which cost over $20,000?"
"That was a special occasion! My home only has three garages!"
"But you have THREE HOMES, I only own two!"

It's silly, a little hypocritical, something nobody cares about since we all know these people are in positions of personal success and it distracts from real issues.

Sen.John McCain(R-Ariz.)

Net worth: $25-$38 million

Details: McCain and his wife Cindy have substantial real estate holdings in Arizona -- including a home worth more than $1 million and land worth between $1.5 million and $3 million. Most of the wealth comes from Cindy, who has more than $1 million in beer distributor Hensley & Co., which her father founded. McCain has written three books.

-

Sen.Barack Obama(D-Ill.)

Net worth: $1-$2.5 million*

Details: In January 2005, Obama agreed to a $1.9 million advance from Random House for two non-ficton books and a children's book, of which $200,000 is being donated to charity. One of those books -- "The Audacity of Hope" -- has been a huge best seller since being released in October. He owns a home worth at least $1.6 million in Chicago.

*His wealth is likely to have increased significantly because of the huge success of "The Audacity of Hope"

-

Sen.Joe Biden(D-Del.)

Net worth: $100,000-$150,000

Details: Biden has spent virtually his whole life in public service and does not have much else aside from investments in a small array of mutual funds and cash accounts. He received a $112,000 advance from Random House for a book in 2005.
