Sen. Joe Biden campaigns in Ankeny on Flickr

vgesmi says:

I noticed that during public speeches, Joe Biden often cuts off the end of his sentences and slurs his words. He starts a sentance and after a few words stops and starts another sentance. I find myself asking myself, what has this guy been drinking? He seems to need a paragraph or an essay to say what most people can say in a simple sentence. Could these peculiarities be related?

Nice lie Obama got caught yesterday, said he created a bill on the economy, umm no he didn't, and didn't even show up to vote on it. Obama supporters figure out this guy is a liar. He will raise taxes for everyone over $32,000 per year and kill our economy. What really makes me mad is he offers now help, yeah were struggling, so what do you do? Cry wolf and say we're in a great depression. I'm sick of your fear tactics to get idiot voters to vote for you. Oh, on AIG, why don't you bail them out with Hope.

Did you know that Biden grew up stuttering and has worked very hard to overcome his speech issues? I think he has done an amazing job! He is now a wonderful speaker! That is probably what you are hearing!

My son went to speech therapy from kindergarten until 6th grade, so I know first hand what it is like dealing with or helping someone you love deal with an issue like he did!

Proud Mama for Obama/Biden!

former soviet head of state nikita chrushew once promiced that current soviet population will live in communizm -everybody will get that they need and everybody will pitch in that ever he or she are able to provide. it was a soap buble and it broke and soviet union after strageling for 70 years is no more. If obama would came up with a new idea i would call him a genious but to return to follen socialism is dengeros and stupid and no way a normal person with regular brains should buy it.

This country has been plagued by idiocracy. How did this once great nation stoop to crrying on an election like a Jr. High popularity contest. For the past three Presidential elections. Voters have made a mockery of our government. We vote against the candidate we don't like instead of actually analyzing platforms and voting with the candidate that is best for us individually.

P.S.
I Think spending over a 3Trillion Dollars on a war we can't win is pretty Liberal.

Stop hating on the war. We got guys and girls over there who seem to believe it's being won as we speak. Free your mind dude. Stop the insanity and listen to real people not what the media hands you. The problem with the war is not our ability to win, because we can win, we just need to make Iraq fund it from hence forth. I agree on the money issue but not on the winability and no matter what Obama feeds you he won't be able to withdraw troops.He can set a timeline for withdrawal but he probably won't be able to enforce it. Food for thought.

Obama has listened to the sermen of a radical preacher for the past 20 years and named his book after a sermen of his preacher. So what this tells me is Obama is a radical because for 20+ years he has listened to this man preach his word and never done a thing about it. When theres light shed on it obama denounces his faith and says he didnt agree with his preacher. You turn coating P.O.S theres nothing lower then a man denouncing his religion when the pressure is put on him. Whats gonna happen when hes in the oval office and faced with real problems??? He will curl up in a ball and cry is my guess. Go Mccain!

vgesmi,
--I know what at least part of speaking problem of Piden's relates to. Biden in his early years had a bad stuttering problem. It was hard for him to talk in what most people consider a normal way. He went through speach therapy and basically has the problem licked, but occasionally, you will still hear him start to stutter when he is very excited.

When he notices that he is starting to stutter, he will just stop talking right there, mid-sentence and try to think of other words to say what he wanted to say. It is his was to stop his stuttering.

sandortkassar says:

And, of course, some of us can't spell... ha ha Piden should have been Biden in my first sentence. And speach should be speech.
But, hey, I'm not running for office -.

"culbyjack said: Biden is a mean old dork with an IQ os 99. He shouldn't be in the same zip code with Obama."

I agree they shouldn't be in the same zip code. After all, I have some respect for Biden.

Obama supporters, can you answer this? Would you take a third grade student and put them in the White House?
No? ---Well that third grader has exactly the same amount of Executive experience as Obama. --NONE.

Obama is just a fast-talker. Senators do not work in the Executive branch; they are in the Legislative branch. They know about making laws and spending other people's money, and that is what Obama promises -increased spending. If you missed it, listen to the last debate. Every problem Obama mentioned, he said he would increase spending. He thinks the way to get a problem to go away is to throw money at it.

Tax and spend policies do not work even in normal times. McCain has promised zero tax increase and a freeze on government spending

Wait till Obama tries throwing money at AlQaida. They will take the money and use it to buy bigger weapons. Obama won't know what to do, because he has NO experience at anything but making speeches and spending other people's money.

Luckily, MCCAIN has executive experience from the military. He knows how to lead. -and regardless of the media's degrading comments, so does Sarah PALIN.

So vote for the ONLY candidates that make sense for America -MCCAIN & PALIN

VietVet0571 says:

When he was later interrogated, McCain gave his ship’s name and squadron number and confirmed the target of his failed mission, he wrote. He also gave the names of the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line and said they were members of his squadron.
The military’s code of conduct prohibits giving ANY information to the enemy. Name, rank and serial number are all one can give. PERIOD!

When two U.S. Army enlisted men were captured by the Viet Cong in 1963, they were plunged into an ordeal that would prove to be a relentless trial of body and spirit by torture. Once they were finally freed, however, their trials began all over again, when their statements critical of the U. S. Vietnam policy landed them in a military court facing a capital offense for violating the military Code of Conduct by "aiding the enemy."

But, if your name is John McCain and your father and grandfather were famous admirals, violating the Code of Conduct by "aiding the enemy" translates into fodder for a political career, book deals, and adulation bordering on sainthood.

Even though news reports of McCain collaborating with the enemy continued from the time he was captured in 1967 through 1970, the Navy never considered prosecution as an option.

Instead, Pentagon pencil pushers chose a political spin that lifted McCain, the former POW turned U.S. Senator, up to a glorified pedestal where he sprouted a halo and wings and became America's "POW-hero" and today a presidential candidate.

The Vietnamese figured that because POW McCain's father was of such high military rank that he was of royalty or the governing circle in the United States. Thereafter the communist bragged that they had captured "the crown prince"and treated him as a "special prisoner."

Less than two weeks after McCain was taken to a hospital, Hanoi's press began quoting him giving specific military information, including the name of the aircraft carrier on which he was based, numbers of U.S. pilots that had been lost, the number of aircraft in his flight, information about location of rescue ships and the order of which his attack was supposed to take place.

There is also evidence that McCain received "special" medical treatment from a Soviet physician.

After he was out of the hospital, McCain continued cooperating with the North Vietnamese for a period of three years. He made radio broadcasts for the communists and met with foreign delegations, including the Cubans. He was interviewed by at least two North Vietnamese generals one of whom was Vietnam's national hero, General Vo Nguyen Giap.

On June 4, 1969, a U.S. wire service story headlined "PW Songbird Is Pilot Son of Admiral," reported one of McCain's radio broadcasts: "Hanoi has aired a broadcast in which the pilot son of the United States commander in the Pacific, Adm. John McCain, purportedly admits to having bombed civilian targets in North Vietnam and praises medical treatment he has received since being taken prisoner.
McCain says he violated the Code of Conduct only when the North Vietnamese brutally tortured him. He further claims that he was so distraught afterwards that he tried to commit suicide. He has never explained why his "aid to the enemy" continued for more than three years.

Even though there are no reports in the public record from other POWs who witnessed McCain's claims of torture and heroics or his attempted suicide, the American media has accepted his version of events word for word, no questions asked.

Comparing the incidents surrounding the fates of three POWs,' who collaborated with the enemy, makes one question why two faced possible execution for treason, while the third won acclaim as a hero fit to be President of the United States.

Sources for this report include: Newsweek, Dec. 13, 1965, Jan. 10, 1966, Apr. 25, 1966, U.S. News and World Report, May 14, 1973, POW-Two Years With The Viet Cong, By George E. Smith, Viet Cong Memoir, by Truong Ntu Tang, Five Years to Freedom, by Nick Rowe, Last Firebase Archives files, The Nightingale's Song, by Robert Timberg, Faith of my Fathers, by John McCain.

Anyone tortured and brainwashed by the Communists for 5 1/2 years should not be elegable to run for any public office.

When you folks finally come out this coma you are all in about this Obama it may be too late. I don't think any of you Obama supporters see the big picture. This smooth talking politician is trying to make history, thats all that really matters to him. Don't be so nieve. Obama doesn't know anything about anything. Stop listening to his lies and wake up. How about this. Biden made the comments earlier that Obama doesn't have the experience to be President. Several months later after Clinton is out and Biden is in everything changed. Biden was right the first time. Another fact, Biden has pointed out in an interview that Palen was only 2 and Obama was only 6 years old when he (Biden) was making history. What do you think he meant by that. There will be more descent and termoil going on in the white house then Kennedy and Johnson. Biden will think he is the President and should be not some wet behind the ears kid. Listen, its not going to work. You think we are in a mess now, vote for Obama and I hope you all have a good sense of humor......

PTT Cruiser says:

It amazes me on all the comments about how smooth Obama talks, how he has charm, how he articulates, how smart he is and his college education. I guess you haters would be satisfied if he used more "ugh's, 'and you know's, 'well, ugh, ugh," and "I dunno's." Haven't you had enough Bush ? Haven't you had enough ? Your children are being killed in a war that is senseless. Yor streets are running red with blood. You can't retire AND send your children to college. The Wall Street bigwigs are laughing in your face ! Obama definitely knows more than Bush, Cheney, and the 'moose lady !
Don't be afraid. We are all in this together !

Obama says any one making 250,000.00 or more will not see a tax increase. Obama wants to let the Bush tax cuts expire; resulting in an "Automatic" tax increase for every American Tax Payer. Economic's 101; less take home pay means less spending, less spending means less product or services sold, meaning, fewer jobs and higher unemployment. To pay for the additional unemployment and medical needs required, raise taxes. The only people truly receiving a tax cut with Obama's plan are those 43 million Americans who pay no taxes.
For those Obama supporters; if you presently work for a large corp. one word for you "Outsource". Companies have demonstrated their willingness to move jobs to other less costly Countries. Not to mention what incentive would they have to create more jobs or opourtunities for promotion. You would be sadly mistaken to think your irreplaceable, just ask the millions of Americans whose jobs went away. Obama will tax these Corp. and leave them no alternative except to outsorce. Beleive me when I say they will not be held hostage or spread their wealth to those who don't deserve it. We have become a society of people who say "I want everything you have I just don't want to work as hard as you did". That's fair right?

Finally be prepared to held accountable when those who want to destroy America take advantage of Obama's lack of expeience regard world issues; and they will. Have you thought why it is the majority of world leaders prefer Obama? Do you think want to help America succeed, they care so much about the wefare of Americans right?
This election is a turning point for our Country, a Country in which many proud American men and women have sacraficed everything to protect. Not only her people do they protect but the rights and freedoms she offers her citizens. All I ask is that if your going to vote for a man like Obama, be honest and admit you don't like the old America you think she can be improved. Socialism "Spreading the Wealth" is not an improvement.its a slap in the face to all those true Americans who worked so hard and sacraficed so much so we could have the right to destroy her.
You will be held accountable....God Bless America!

How does taxing a company lead to outsourcing? Many policies could, like additional labor protections, but taxes? Money the company pays out in salary is a write off for the company.

Senator Biden suffered from a intracranial berry aneurysms back in 1988, it was serious enough that a priest had administered last rites at thehospital. while recuperating, he suffered a pulmonary embolism, also a blood clot in the lungs and is lucky to be alive. About two thirds of patients have a poor outcome, death or
permanent disability.
Maybe this is why he might cut off the end of he's sentences or may slur his words. So to answer your question, no Joe Biden isn't drinking.

Taxes lead to "Outsourcing" due to "Fringe". Companies are paying increasling higher taxes; write offs don't sustain, Health and welfare benefits, paid time off i.e. vacation and sick time, overtime, etc. The company I work for recently "Outsourced our entire IT and accounting departments to India. Companies are not going to allow the goverment to divy up there money to those who don't want to contribute.

I have listened to both sides and my hope is pinned on Obama. John McCain has a temper and it shows quite often when he and Obama have debated. Not just that but I want someone to be my President that has a new outlook and Obama is 47 compared to McCain at 72, my husband is 72, and his views and thoughts are of a koren vet and I am 60 and my views and thoughts are from the 60's & 70's,, For those of you who need a father figure vote for McCain--for the rest of us who want more of an equal Vote Obama.. and if anyone believes that who ever wins that we as American's will not have to pay some higher taxes you do not live in the real world..Gasoline has gone down because the supply has overcome the demand--The Replublcains waited far too long to do something about the sub-prime mess when I know they saw it coming 2 - 4 years ago--so many people have already lost their homes and we have been in a recession for about 2 years now--not in every state but many -- they were all very greedy --and do not give a d - - m about the rest of us-- they are not in the same boat -- they don't have to worry about health care, food, schooling, gas for their vehicle to get to work, or even if they have a job next week....I don't want Sarah Palin as President when something happens to McCain--she is pretty and smart but not READY to run this country......

I would like anyone supporting Obama to give me an intelligent argument as to why anyone should vote for Obama/Biden November 4th. I don't want the same old same old unitelligent, uneducated answers, such as; Obama offers change. Well tell me what kind of change explain it! He's articulate and handsome; so was Ted Bundy maybe he should have ran for President, after all he meets the requirements. Can any of you tell me why I would vote for a man who's State he represents Illnois has the highest crime rate and the biggest deficit of any other State in the union; is that the change your talking about? We want this same man to be responsible for our Goverment? Change is selecting a career politician for a running mate. You need to explain this to me. Someone please describe his record for me...Anybody details details. That's the problem you want us to vote based on looks and ability to speak. Not going to happen, not one Obama supporter can make an argument using Obamas history...what little there is.

Obama has a gret task to perform before Amercan and the World.
Furher if starting well he will manage to capture new world Market particula from Africa and Asia.The current World hopes are on him.He can make it or distruct it as well.We hope that by increasing direct aid to the developing World income will improve to many and under conditionality he will get more CUSTOMERS.
He must be very careful in World political affairs particula in RUSSIA and Middle East.
