(WASHINGTON) - Joe Biden spoke to the National Jewish Democratic Council tonight, making the focus of his speech a call for Americans to imagine a country different than its been under eight years of President Bush.
He asked the crowd to imagine a country that believes in science, a president will put Supreme Court justices on the bench that respect civil and womens right, and a United States that once again is respected around the world.
Biden started his speech with an old Jewish joke that was warmly received, saying the Yeshiva crew team realized Harvards secret to winning was that they had only one person yelling while the rest of the team rowed. That could be said about us Irish as well, said Biden to laughs from the Jewish audience. He likened it to the current political race for the White House.
We need to ignore all of the malarkey, ignore all of the distractions, ignore the e-mails, and get behind Barack Obama, he insisted.
Bidens tone was calmer tonight. He had a small coughing fit, which he blamed on eating a handful of peanuts before he walked on stage, and took a sip of water.
While Biden said that wealthy people are just as patriotic as poor folks, he added that the ExxonMobils of the world did not need or deserve a four billion dollar tax break to drill off-shore after a decade of record profits, which McCain has advocated.
He also attacked the McCain-Palin ticket on health care, saying they would tax health care costs on top of the average Americans earned income.
In tax dollars, Biden said, that will be a trillion dollars.
It's not a bad economic theory, it's just a dumb economic theory, he added.

NJDC is one of the Jewish groups that showed it loved the Dem party and Obama more than it loved Israewl and insisted Palin be disinvited from addressing the anti-Iran demo this week.
Yo Biden!
“Imagine” this!

Okay pissant... that was pretty dang funny!!!
You crack me up kid!
Fundamental change: Go from capitalism to Marxism. Hmmm...perhaps a change I can do without.
Health care expenditures are a problem in this country because health care insurance provided by employers is non-taxable, thereby inducing most Americans to pay for their health care outlays through insurance. This provides an obvious disincentive to economize when it comes to health care purchases. And of course the evil HMOs were a government “solution” to this problem, instead of tackling the obvious.
Naturally when someone in DC tries to tackle the actual problem then they are demagouged. So on the problem will continue, just like Social Security and Medicare.
In tax dollars, Biden said, that will be a trillion dollars.
It’s not a bad economic theory, it’s just a dumb economic theory, he added.
was he referring to hussien’s proposed trillion in spending???

If Obama loses the election, I think Biden will be much of the fault for the loss. His gaffes are getting as punctual as an atomic clock.
LOL. Nice job!
