In reply to the discussion: More Biden Baggage For The Debates -- Pick On THIS [View all]ancianita
(43,309 posts)goes for BO as much as JB. Nobody who even votes in Congress gets ALL the credit, not even the author/sponsor of a bill. I explained that. That's as real as it gets.
2. The "real" context of this post were previous threads picking at JB's negative baggage.
This thread was posted for that reason. From the OP:
Any fair and productive discussion of Joe Biden's baggage -- Democrats are nothing if not fair, right? -- just remember to credit Biden with advising, helping and standing by the guy who gets most, but should not get ALL the credit.
In further support of the "advising, helping and standing by," here are
Obama's words:
"To know Joe Biden is to know that love without pretense, service without self-regard, and to live life fully.
"Hes not just a great vice president, he is a great friend. Weve gotten so close that in some places in Indiana, they wont serve us pizza anymore."
""He has been a lion of American history. The best part is, he's nowhere close to finished."
-- From Katie Hill, Obama spokeswoman:
President Obama has long said that selecting Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 was one of the best decisions he ever made. He relied on the vice presidents knowledge, insight and judgment throughout both campaigns and the entire presidency. The two forged a special bond over the last 10 years and remain close today.
Keep it as real as you want. Your technical point about WHO does stuff defines who gets credit shows disregard for the context and spirit of the post. I said what I said.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
