Isn't he from Delaware where the banks make outrageous fees with high interest rates on their credit cards?

1. It probably means he's realized that his political career is almost over
and he has nothing left to lose from the occasional bit of truth.

2. Obama already got smacked for suggesting this was unfair. He's a Socialist who wants to take over
the banking system.... or didn't you realize that?

Politically, it's much safer for Biden to voice these ideas.

3. Because Republicans will listen to hypocrites before they will listen to
a black president?

5. Because the banks don't care what he says
They only care what he does -- and he's been very very good to them.

We could profit from their example.

Watch what they do and have done for us -- not what they say -- especially as we move full bore into campaign bait-and-switch season.

6. Because the VP usually says things the Prez can't or won't
but is usually done with the approval, if not encouragement, from the Prez.

7. *sniffle* "It should be FIFTY, and you should be GRATEFUL that the MBNA
is here to keep you all alive" *breaks down* "why do you HATE THEM?!"
