Default Obama Picks Biden

For those who turn on CNN in the mornings like myself, this is old news already. At 3am EST Senator and Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has picked a runningmate....Senator Joe Biden of Delaware was announced to be the 2008 Democratic VP hopeful at 3:00am eastern time through text message.
If you want more information, you've got a computer. Look it up yourself, I'm too lackadaisical for this stuff.

I think its great. He picked a seasoned veteran. Biden has alot of experience. He is sure to help.

I love that he released it when nobody would check their texts, haha. It's strange that he rants all the time about change, but he picks a guy that's been rooted in Washington WAY longer than Bush, is stuck in his old ways, and actually campaigned against Obama. His trust is a little too easy to earn for me.

Well everyone complains about his lack of experience, so he gets an extremely experienced guy. Biden is a pretty stand up guy, and is a contrast to Obama. I think it may actually be a smart move..

I'm happy with the choice as well. I thought Biden was the smartest of the presidential candidates, but never got any traction. Thank god he didn't pick Clinton. The Clintons can go kick rocks for all I care.

Save everyone else the effort, idiot. You have no class and absolutely no respect for anyone. I'm an *** because I care, you're an *** to get attention.

What I don't get is this.. Why the heck did he pick someone who apparently campaigned so heavily against him before???

Seems kind of strange don't you think?

Steeda, You all already know my choice and there is no need to argue the point. I'll still continue to drive my car with my McCain sticker proudly in the rear windshield and I'm sure you'll do the same for whoever that other guy is.. (hint of sarcasm..)


Kind of an off note.. Is anyone else as disgusted as I am every time you see Michelle Obama? I'm sorry guys, just the mere sight of her makes me sick. Moving on....

I'm probably going to regret asking this, but what is so sickening about her? Is it her looks or comments she has made?

Just her in general, she is so high on her pedistal. She has a very different dimeanor(sp?) than her husband. I'll give it to Obama, he seems like a somewhat personable guy other than making fun of McCains' house deal.. How can you make fun of someone when you own a $1.65million house and call it a nice family home!? LOL!

What the hell are you talking about? Because I poked fun at Obama's wife? Get off it man.

It's funny though, how neither of you answered the Biden question..

You are a moron

First off I support McCain but I guess you didn't catch that

you tend to take everything you hear that is bad about Obama and instantly assume that it's true I recall you saying that Obama was sworn in under the koran in another thread which everyone who pays attention knows is not true.

From what you say in any political thread I can tell that you are one of the 30% of republican voters

roughly all voting is broken down like this 30% 40% 30%

30% for republicas 30% for democrats and 40% vote with their heads (ignore all the freedom hateing people who choose not to vote)

30% of voters will vote for a republican Mr. Potato Head if he runs against a democrat Jesus. and the same goes if they switched partys.

Micheal Moore is a die hard democrat but they don't want him to talk becuase he makes them all look stupid

You are a die hard republican but please don't talk because you make all McCain supporters look stupid.

Thumbs down

You are a complete and total idiot.

I'm not going to argue this out again, if I felt that Obama was a better choice then I would support him. The bottom line is simple, I don't and I will be voting for McCain. Pull your head out of your *** and quit making assumptions based on how you perceive someone over the internet.

Where the hell did this come from anyway? Because I made a crack about Michelle Obama? Hell, I even gave Obama a compliment in my reply above?? You make no sense..

Unless the new president does something about gas prices or makes online poker "legal" again. I will hate them just the same.

Well, I think she has a lot to be proud of and she is confident about it. She pretty much came not having a whole lot, went to public school and got into Princeton, then to Harvard Law. I think she is probably extremely proud of her husband and what he is doing....agree with him or not, you can't fault a wife for taking pride in what her husband is doing.

Obama was making fun of John McCain because McCain couldn't remember how many houses he owns, and that he would have to ask his staff. Then I think on his tax return he claimed that he paid over $200k for "house help" ect or something like that. Also, he was poking fun at McCain for saying that you are considered rich if you make $5 million and above. I think McCain was kind of joking when he made the $5 million comment...at least I hope so.

It's not a bad thing to be rich, that is no fault of McCains, but get your facts straight. You seem to only take little bits of of what the media says and what your hillbillie friends say, and then make up your own facts.

sorry, I guess I didn't get the joke. I just know the junk that you've posted in the past so it's hard to tell if you are serious or not.

I think racism plays a part in this whole "Anti-Obama" deal you got going on here. Your just like the losers who want him killed because they are so mentally retarded that they think hes got some crazy master plan to **** everyone over.

Theres an obvious choice here.

Steeda.. I have ONE good question for you. This alone will rpove how ignorant your comment is.

This is the internet, I've never seen you, you've never seen me. How do you know that I'm white, black, yellow, purple, or blue? You don't.

So I guess if I'm black, then I'm racist against my own people then... Right? Maybe i've confused you now. Who knows.

I'll just go ahead and add some more fuel to your fire though, since you B.O. (I've heard he really stinks!) supporters can't seem to get it when someone is trying to joke around and have a good time.

Judging by your comments, and where you live, I can put 2 and 2 together. I know the color of his skin is your real issue.


And your pin, didn't black people build the white house?
