The Democratic vice presidential candidate has nothing but wonderful praise for Sarah Palin and how fantastic her speech was last night. He doesn’t know how he could possibly win a debate with her, because she will be such a master debater! And John Roberts is all, “You’re raising expectations!!” because duh. [CNN]

Iron bar wrapped in cotton.
Ah Biden, you glorious passive aggressive motherfucker. Gently sink your teeth in and do not ever let go until the Republican party is a lifeless ragdoll. And then politely thank them for playing.
Prediction: Palin brings “Trig” to the VP debate and every time she gets a tough question she’ll pull him out and start to breast feed him. Then she’ll put him away and accuse Biden of hating Baby Jesus and wanting to force his Northeastern, Liberal San Francisco homosexual agenda on (a geographically challenged) middle-America.
snarkiness aside–that was nicely done. and I think that’s the way he has to play it: polite admiration that doesn’t quite dip into patronization.
and also he should rip everyone’s throat out.
But does the VP-ILF have testicular fortitude? I’m not sure she’s been in a position to prove this to America yet.
[re=83864]Serolf Divad[/re]: He’d probably respond with something along the lines of “Yes, I’m sure that Putin and Ahmadinejad will be moved by your devotion to your children.”
Have any dates been set for the debates yet? I’ll need the next day off to recover from alcohol poisoning and laughter.
no one wants to go up against a vindictive lying highschool Mean Girl!
Dang! I thought Cheney was scary!
biden is scared shitless because he doesn’t have any executive experience … unlike Governors Bush and Palin.
he’s right the average bar skank can destroy any man. the only way is to treat her like a princess.
Holy wars!! I’m telling you. Democrats wanna dig us out of a hole. Republicans want to drill more holes. You got babies poppin outta holes. Holy shite/sunni.
Biden should show up with a fat suit and a glass of water, then pour the water on the floor and say “ohh no my water broke… I think I’ll finish the debate then fly around the country for a while.”
[re=83874]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: October 2nd… hopefully it will be a day of reckoning for the Snowbilly Queen
[re=83884]grendel[/re]: Stop trying to make “Snowbilly Queen” happen.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. You don’t handle a pitbull with kid gloves.
If Obama and Biden do, expect to get bit.
executive experience – check
smirk/sarcasm – check
loves baby jesus – check
it’s official – Palin is W With a Rack
very smooth, joe. kill em with kindness.
[re=83882]ReverendGreen[/re]:
Seriously… if we Wonketters ran the country… oh, man things would be great!
I was worried about this crazybatshit woman (and being a woman/mom/voting american I use the term woman lightly) would get folks fired up. Glad to see that the Princeton Electoral Consortium does not bear that out: according to them, Obama is up another electoral vote this morning; 305-233. I don’t think I can make it to November.
[re=83890]capitol hillbilly[/re]: You forgot “narcissistic” and “sociopath”.
Yeah, saw this on the Today Show this morning. It aired right after Meredith Viera announced she wanted to have sex with Palin.
Gee, Joe, I hope you’ll mention that Palin accepted campaign money from Veco, the same people who bribed all the convicted, indicted, and investigated Alaska pols. Stevens: headed for Graybar Hotel after 9/24. Young: about to be indicted. Palin: lawyered up and avoiding investigation she “welcomed” a month ago.
Look, you can put up anyone to read one-liners at a convention speech. Palin was a warmup act. Most of the stomach acid should be saved for McCain tonight. She’s just a circle fly.

But I thought Walnuts was running for Preznit, not Palin.
Did anyone else think she sounded like Jennifer Coolidge (Stifler’s Mom in American Pie and the psycho dietician in Trial And Error)?
[re=83897]The 3-Legged Man[/re]: I think Joe’s gunna do just fine. SP took the gloves off last night (love the “MEAN GIRL” handle) so she’s fair game as far as I’m concerned. I think Joe should just bob and weave around here until she holds her breath and turns blue.
[re=83889]limama56[/re]: I think they’re gonna be nice right up until the debates and then lay into McCain and Palin when they’re on stage. If they keep emphasizing that there’s no substance to her attacks last night, they can hammer them point-by-point on who’s a reformer and who’s not when they meet.
Methinks Senator Biden was being a tad disengenuious.
And I’d like to thank him for that.
[re=83903]natteringnaybob[/re]: I’m going with the Marge Gunderson vibe myself.
[re=83862]snig[/re]: [re=83863]Whiskeybaby[/re]: [re=83867]apocalypsethen[/re]: Agree! This was very well done after last night’s Repub blood ritual. (I expected to see a no name libtard hanged in effigy from the video flag).
Biden will win best by using the lowest trumps in his hand. Cool Joey B.
[re=83904]shoeho[/re]: duh, that should have been “around HER”
[re=83905]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I agree…though somebody needs to do some coaching with Obama. McCain’s pithy, snappy comebacks will play well against, thoughtful, reasoned responses. Obama will seem boring and tentative and McCain will be a “leader”.
Even though the opposite is the truth.
Well, so much for a “Gidget” reference, she’s scarier, and Jeebus-er than W..
All but their base are now belong to us.
And since we’re playing the Role Game, I’d like to play too. John n’ Sarah are Reformers. I’m an Astronaut, a Fireman, a Nuclear engineer, an Architect, a Pauper, a Poet, and a King. Oops sorry, gotta go, Mommy’s calling me.
I really don’t think the whole “PTA mom” thing is going to fly at the G8 Summit…
Uhm, Sarah, if you squirm it’ll take longer. Just lay back and get the ‘ole Biden drilling you so richly deserve. Just think of moose stew while it’s happening.
Here’s the problem with Democrats trying to “lower expectations.” The Democratic candidates are, by and large, clearly intelligent, well spoken, well educated and attuned to the issues. So it’s kinda hard to buy it when they come on with this “golly gee willikers, Wolf, I hope I can at least stand my ground against Mrs. Palin. She’s one tough lady!” Meanwhile, the Republicans deliberately choose backwoods dipshits for their candidates, and the real brains operate behind the scenes, feeding them soundbites and talking points. So when they open their mouths and start going off with “You know, I’m just a backwoods redneck who was bottom of my class at Wogbury junior college. I hope I can use a little horse sense to get me through this debate without coming off too much like the simple farmer I am!” it’s difficult not to swallow that line. The during the debate they’re all: “I love baby Jesus and my opponent hates America… so you’ve got a choice in November. I hope y’all will find it in your kindness to pull the lever fer the one of us you most identify wiht. That’s all, Thank ya!”
does anyone think palin’s speech said anything to people who weren’t already firmly in the mccain camp?
nate silver at fivethirtyeight has a great take: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/09/cognitive-dissonance.html
Barack needs to give her a hysterectomy while he’s busy aborting her children’s children and drinking their cord-blood.
[re=83919]apocalypsethen[/re]: The problem for me is that I think it’s going to bring out people who would not have voted at all because they don’t trust McCain’s pro-life stance. But with Palin on the ticket, they’ll vote now.
I said this earlier, but I hope it causes the smart, rich, country club republicans to stay home because they don’t want this bumkin anywhere near their trust funds. I think it’s too much to expect them to vote for Obama, though.
[re=83882]ReverendGreen[/re]: Funniest post i’ve read in weeks, and that’s saying something.
[re=83918]Serolf Divad[/re]: Don’t forget the nicknames; “Maverick” and “Reformer”..they won’t.
Joe Biden is well-versed in the art of making fun of someone in such a manner that they do not realize it for weeks.
Joe skewered her nicely; he was also lacerating media coverage, which JR was too thick to absorb.
With a few exceptions, the media couldn’t trip over themselves fast enough to sing her praises, except for the PBS guy Mark Shields — pointing out that she still has to (presumably) SPEAK to the media sometime, and defend her record and her ideas.
Too bad the rest of the idiot media can’t separate what they hear from the room they hear it in; you normally learn that in first year J-school.
She proved her willingness and ability to spew lies and distortions like the rest of the extreme right —- even blindly reading a line about the stinking washington establishment despite the fact the her running mate and half the room consists of same.
if they ever let her out of the bubble to answer any questions, she’ll be carved up.
It is pure joy that the last day of the GOP convention happens to land on my birthday. As if Palin wasn’t the best present I could have asked for.
will Sarah and her hubby have more of the fucking and babies in the White House? Or will they just go anal from here on out?
[re=83918]Serolf Divad[/re]: The American social contract is about being “nice, being a good egg.” So if we can “have a beer with them” I can trust they won’t try to stab me in the back. Thus we share “values.” For decades now the Demrats have tried to persuade with ‘reason” which is looked on with suspicion because it’s seen as cold, calculating, not about commitment to belief. The emotion of “values” regularly trumps “reason” in America. Over and over the Demrats keep saying, “Yeah, but the facts, the facts!” Eventually they are going to have to run AGAINST these guys by proving they have the stronger backbones. They have to do that, and show that in the campaign because they are going to need that quality not just to win the election, but to govern. Too much coolness exacerbates the charge/appearance “weak elitist.” Time to double up on my meds.
Hay! I pull up this post and the video calls me a “malformed error”. Not even my Mom is that harsh!
But seriously, I expect Smilin’ Joe to make the lady governor cry during the debates. I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t…
[re=83926]timeoutofmind[/re]: Just like last week, the media collectively sucked her off, praising her for doing a “good job” without stopping for a moment to ask if half the shit she said last night was even fucking TRUE (hint: it wasn’t). I wish to God we had a media half as liberal as conservatives like to think it is, maybe they’d get off their asses and do a little footwork for us.
[re=83922]hockeymom[/re]: i think it will bring nothing. it will only bring obama’s supporters even more to the fore. he raised more money last night than any in recent memory.
there are flat out more democrats in the country, more people who support women’s rights, more who want changes in economic policy, and more people who loathe this stupid, batshit war. those
if this is all the repubs have to throw at the Dems, their arms better not get tired.
[re=83907]shoeho[/re]: I’m feeling more of a “Green-haired lady Mayor of South Park” vibe.
[re=83926]timeoutofmind[/re]: “if they ever let her out of the bubble to answer any questions, she’ll be carved up.”
…which they won’t because she’s merely another part of the dog and pony show. Remember how Dub’s events have always been heavily screened. I have to think SP is cramming at VP School right now big time.
[re=83932]Godless Liberal *[/re]: So… is the point of this to pretend from now till the middle of Oct to keep the media revenues up?
[re=83933]magic titty[/re]: do you have a link to the fundraising numbers? I’d like to believe that’s true. hell, I donated this morning after my first cup of coffee.
I guess that’s the danger of a presidential or vp candidate tossing out a red meat speech: sure, it energizes your base, but what about the OTHER base?
in the long run, though, vps don’t win or lose elections and neither palin nor biden can dramatically help the ticket. they CAN hurt their running mate’s chances, though, and that’s what I think palin is in more danger of doing than biden.
Enough with the niceties. Set phaser beams to “destroy.”
[re=83938]DoctorCulturae[/re]: The point of this is to avoid doing any actual journalist work forever because the viewing public wants entertainment, not information. So, what you said, except for the stopping in October part.
[re=83922]hockeymom[/re]:
It looks like Palin is seriously damaging McCain’s standing among, of all people, women. Moderate, independent, pro-choice women are RUNNING away from Palin/Walnuts.
Thanks for that, Biden. I needed that. The MSM needs to go fuck itself.

It’s is the Nat’l Enquirer. So you know it is truth.
Biden..taking the high road in a low rider (Biden on Rove: “He’s a great American.”)
I hope they check hockey mom for hidden earplugs before she hits the podium.
[re=83939]apocalypsethen[/re]: Bingo. Someone else said a similar thing in another thread…they sure energized the base last night…the Dem base that is. It’s gone from “looking on amused and snarking at the neocons and their sad little party” to OMFG, you’ve got to be kidding me, these motherfuckers have to be taken down!! To all the struggling middle class Americans watching that little hatefest last night, do you see now? They HATE you. There is nothing right wingers despise more than poor people. They scoff at community organizing and laugh at the idea of universal healthcare and equal pay for equal work. They want to throw all your civil liberties out the window. Like many other commenters have said, I prefered it in the original German.
Can we get some topless pics of Barry or a post about ass fucking now?
[re=83933]magic titty[/re]: I sure hope that is the case. I donated just this morning after watching that train wreck of a VP candidate last night. Being a poor, starving, entry-level employee, that was a big deal for me.
if Rove thinks he can reframe this narrative to claim the dems are the elitists and the ReThugs are the party of pregnant teens and feminists — it ain’t gonna happen!
Velvet fist her. Absorb the diversion Palin has created.
Remember: WALNTUS still has to go head to head with The Unicorn Master. If you take away Palin’s nasal-A cries of “SECSIST!” and pretend she has something intelligent to say, I’m sure she won’t disappoint and we can all go back to contemplating the decaying corpse that is John McCain.
[re=83939]apocalypsethen[/re]: i don’t have the numbers, but i’m looking for them now. i’ve read more than one article alluding to this as fact, albeit they was from the librul medias CNN.
Do they really believe this person is going to take votes away from the Democratic ticket?
[re=83933]magic titty[/re]: is that true? cause it freaked ME right the fuck into another donation.
I am dying to hear Biden politely inquire how abstinence only is working in Alaska.
[re=83899]JamesMichaelCurley[/re]: Awesome! The VP debate is the only one in which the moderator has ovaries. I doubt that was an accident. Go boobies! Go ovaries!
>>Velvet fist her.
HOT
[re=83867]apocalypsethen[/re]: Funny, I thought Biden was fairly dripping with patronization. Or was he just outright lying? It’s hard to tell. I think this is WRONG way to play this game. Palin’s gonna come out barking and Biden will say “nice doggie” before rolling over and playing dead? I don’t care how many fancy words he uses and how much he mentions the middle class, if he doesn’t return fire on the same level as Palin, to the average American the Dems are pussies, once again. I’m beginning to think McCain isn’t so dumb after all.
I was hoping Biden would break down and say “bless her heart” which of course in the south in a condescending way of saying “fuck off and die, bitch.”

DoctorCulturae: You are absolutly right my friend. I appreciate the fact that you were able to articulate that coherently while I find myself frothing at the mouth, neck vein popping out, and digging my finger nails into the bottom of my desk. THEY MUST GO…
[re=83882]ReverendGreen[/re]: Strangely enough, I think that would pick up some votes for the Dems.
He just better not hold back in the debates. He needs to pull the cross out of her ass and beat her with it.
[re=83959]sanantonerose[/re]: I thought he was being extremely patronizing toward the interviewer, but came off as gracious toward palin. I doubt he is going to roll over in a debate. but there is a nuance to this. you can’t attack outright without being a sexist but you can’t roll over without being a pussy.
the only way to wage an offensive is to make the other guy look like the asshole while engaging him on substance. thus, “great job–but your policies are all screwed up.” etc.
[re=83949]Whiskeybaby[/re]: You’re right. When WALNUTS! picked Caribou Barbie, a seething froth of KILL began to run from my mouth. Barry’s speech inspired me. Palin’s speech inspired me to draw blood
my god…biden is amazing…totally the son of a car salesman…i mean to be able to say that she gave a good speech without giving away what he really felt…amazing…
[re=83959]sanantonerose[/re]: Won’t Canmon the Inadequate and the cat-fur crazy Hilltards be happier if you unbutton things so Palin can make her moves? That is, hold off on the full frontal, tease her, let her try to pull something, and then cream her on the titties.
I mean “issues.” Cream her on the issues.
[re=83957]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: It was an accident in the sense that Gwen Ifill was picked to host the debate long before Sarah Palin was picked to be McCain’s running mate. Still, Ifill suffers no bullshit and will likely give Palin an icy glare if she tries her hockey mom schtick during the debate.
[re=83958]4tehlulz[/re]: you are too kind. I think we should shove a rifle
up her hockey cunt and pull the trigger. wait is trigger one of her kids. anyway, then we could shove some moose antlers up her ass. I better stop, I might be getting turned on.
[re=83928]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: can the new drinking game revolve around how many times the words “red meat” is used? hmmmm???
what would jesus do?
[re=83893]irisheyes[/re]: The reassurance for that site only works if you don’t look at their 2004 predictions.
now I’m seeing conservative cheerleaders discussing how palin’s teleprompter broke (it didn’t) and how she recited the rest of the speech from memory (she didn’t). awesome.
in some ways, it’s a little frightening how heavily the gop base is hanging their hopes on their vice presidential candidate.
Biden’s performance there reminds me of the Adam Savage motto: “I reject your reality and substitute my own.”
Nice moves getting back to the Dem talking points on every answer, Joe. One Wonkette golf clap for you.
[re=83960]TGY[/re]: Yessir.
[re=83965]apocalypsethen[/re]: Yes, I understand. Totally. But then again I’ve been known to exhibit some intelligence. Will Biden’s method play to the Average Voter? Dumbed down by reality teevee, they don’t want scripted niceties. They want to see hair pulling and sucker punches.
Damned if we do, damned if we don’t?
[re=83971]RuperttheBear[/re]: Stop it. You’re making me horny. Bless your heart.
[re=83986]sanantonerose[/re]: you could say it literally takes the “kick him in the nuts!” strategy off the table.

Snark aside, I loved Joe’s response! He couldn’t have played it better, taking the high road today. It would have been a major mistake to come out swinging. Complimenting her on her delivery but pointing out her failure to mention key issues is a great morning after commentary. I believe he’ll politely wipe the floor with her in the debate, but great judgment was shown in not being reactionary. Cool confidence will prevail right up until the coup de grace. Give her more rope, WALNUTS!
[re=83988]apocalypsethen[/re]: Yeah. And it doesn’t help that she also wears glasses.
Anyhoo, now that I see the narrative being woven so eagerly by the Republican party and being reported on with gusto by the media, I am now thoroughly concerned that we do indeed have a female Dubya on our hands.
And unfortunately, with all the baby holding and impending wedlock nuptials, and kids hanging off her, she’s got that Jesus Mama thing down cold. No matter what kind of bitch she actually may be, she’ll never be a bitch to those who’ve been aching for a national re-enactment of what is means to be a “traditional American woman.” It’s soothing, it’s satisfying, to BOTH genders.
I’m going to be so ticked off if no one captured a still frame of her giving her speech with NEW-CLEAR coming across the teleprompter.
See, Joe’s just being the calm and assertive pack leader when dealing with this “pit bull” bitch. Cesar Milan could take this snowbilly.
sure, the world thinks Palin is the next version of the baby jesus and the stock market is down 200 points.
[re=83990]Godless Liberal *[/re]: It looks like Snowmobile Ken is forcing that poor special needs child to sniff Grandpa’s armpit.
I’m a masterdbater. And a cunning linguist.
The only way the sick, pathetic Walnut/CaribouSkank ticket can win is they rig the voting. Oh, yeh… she’s Bush in drag.
[re=84000]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Has anybody checked to see if that dude is actually a world champion snowmobile racer?
[re=83911]hockeymom[/re]: Obama has a mean forehand smash, and he improvises and does it right. If McCain tries to improvise he’ll make a joke about rape.
Okay, it’s come to this. I hate viral emails (or whatever they’re called), especially when they’re right-wing hatemail effluvia about how Obama is a white-woman rapin’, crack smokin’, Muslim-luvin’, taxin’ n’ spendin’ … blah blah blah. Here’s a simple “fact check” on last nights speech: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080904/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_fact_check. From Yahoo!, of all things. Palin is a shill, pure and simple. Tell your friends and neighbors, and theirs, and theirs, and theirs, etc.
[re=83882]ReverendGreen[/re]: Do you preach on Sundays?
I grew up watching John (J.D.) Roberts interview rock stars on CITY-TV in Toronto. I keep expecting him to segue to the new video from The Feelies. And I would like it…
Yes, Palin is a re-affirmation of the “way things should be.” It doesn’t matter that she’s in a position of power. What matters is that she’ll be secondary in the White House. A true national “wife.”
[re=83928]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Did you get that sweet bicycle with streamers and the basket you wanted?

Why do they cling to their guns and religion so much???
Maybe Biden will call her out on her cankles. With legs that thick they have to lead to some serious cankles!
[re=84009]sanantonerose[/re]: True, I see her as a skirt that McCain’s cabinet can ogle over at the water cooler, sort of like the bombshell head of the secretarial pool in ‘Mad Men’.
Dude Biden NEEDS to debate this bitch. It is so completely necessary. If Gawd loves us, he will make it so.
[re=84004]Delicious[/re]: There is no such thing.
Biden asks why they made no mention of how parents will be able to afford college for their kids. He forgets that all the teen gals will be KNOCKED UP in High School due to no sex education, forcing them to drop out and the teenaged dads can forget college cuz they’ll have to get a job and support their illegitimate brats.
She and her constituents need to be hit on the head with a lead-filled snowshoe, and have generous mittensful of the deadly yellow snow ( from where the huskies go ) rubbed into their beady little eyes in a vigorous circular motion.
[re=84032]Cape Clod[/re]: MILF Nation, I give you your leader.
the word “bitch” is so…. I dunno… reflexive, unoriginal, pedestrian. I like harpy, shrew… still feminine just a little more exotic. But I’ve been called “(fill in the adjective) bitch” so many times maybe I’m just sensitive
YES! I prayed on it last night and Jeebus delivered. Here is video from Sarah Palin’s nutbag Assemblies of God church:
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1536744
No visible Palins, alas.
Polar bear? Didn’t she say she was one shade of red away from a pit bull.
How about bitch to nowhere!
First of all, I want to thank all of you for making this election somewhat easier to swallow. I just found the site last week, and I can’t get enough. Well done.
Secondly, I wanted to say that while I had originally planned to sit and watch Palin’s speech last night, I decided not to. Instead, I called up my local Obama HQ and asked them what I could do to help.
Last night, from 5:30 to 8:30, I went door to door here in Colorado, talking to unaffiliated voters. The good news? All but one of them was heavily leaning Obama. All but one!
Snarky comments are awesome. (They bring much needed levity to something that would otherwise have us pulling out our hair.) But at the end of the day, the most valuable contribution anyone can make is their time. Please consider becoming active in some way.
Now, all of that said “Barack needs to give her a hysterectomy while he’s busy aborting her children’s children and drinking their cord-blood.” is one of the most deliciously fucked up comments I have ever seen. Keep up the good work.

Stupid question: is there any difference between a snow machine (which I actually thought was one of those thingmabobs that makes fake snow for movies) and a snowmobile? All this “Todd is just the bestest snow machine driver evah!” stuff makes me wonder these things.

[re=84082]greatgooglymoogly[/re]: Nice. And on the surface, non gender specific.
/WIN
A cornpone political neophyte like Biden just can’t stand up to this Palin person and her electrified talkin’ machine. Aw shucks, he’ll just be happy to place second and hope he gets to shake her hand.

[re=84082]greatgooglymoogly[/re]: Oh, I forgot to call you an arrogant, elitist, presumptuous, babydaddy. My bad.
[re=84069]Servo[/re]: I am not sure how I feel about knowing that reference. Maybe at the presidential debate, the mod can ask McCain the following “You’re some sort of big, fat, smart-bug, aren’t you? “

[re=83950]NotAnEvilLobbyist[/re]: I also donated this am. I keep a little stash of money, seeded with my govt “rebate” check and when I get REALLY pissed off I log on and send some money to our Guy. It is incredibly gratifying, no matter how small the amount is, to be able to DO something in response to McNutcase(and now Scarah).
javascript:reply(’83944′, ‘Botswana Meat Commission FC’); Yes to this. I tend to use my mother as a bellwether, as she’s a moderate who can be tricked into voting for far-right Repubs (as in 2004, which I still give her no end of crap about), and she’s horrified by Palin for a lot of reasons. Most of all for the condescension it shows on the part of McCain, that he and his people think they can plop just *any* woman in there and win them all over. This pick helps him with the base and with some of the dumber men who like her just because she’s hot.
[re=84106]lilblackcorvette[/re]: *blushing, big toe in sand* Aww, g’wan!

I felt my brain being sucked out last night. I’m sure McCorpse and his VFW/Hee-Haw Chair Platoon will attempt to finish the job. I’m prepared. They’ll get my dreamcatcher only when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

What has struck me about the RNC convention is the unwillingness to discuss the Bush/Cheney legacy.
Bush appeared briefly via video, but he talked about McCain and nothing he accomplished.
No one has told us how we are better off now than we were under a Democratic president.
The only economic program the Republicans discuss is maintaining tax cuts for the wealthy.
Tax cuts for the wealthy have resulted in an obscene debt that our great, great, great grandchildren will be paying.
Obama and Biden need to remind the voters the Republicans legacy is 8 years of the most embarrasing, useless and dishonest presidency in US history.
So what if Biden beats her in the debate, she’s just a girl.
