Joe Biden To Florida Seniors: Mitt Romney Would Threaten Medicare

By Michael A. Memoli September 28, 2012 TAMARAC, Fla. -- If there's one thing Vice President Joe Biden does more conspicuously here than in other states, it's to play the role as chief validator for his running mate.

Before senior-heavy audiences in southern Florida on Friday, he fulfilled that role in two ways, buttressing the Obama campaign's case against the Republicans on entitlement programs, and offering a firm testimonial for the president when it comes to his stewardship of the U.S. relationship with Israel.

The 69-year-old former senator waxed at greater length here about his decades-long career in public service, in part to make that point.

“Although I was raised by a righteous Christian, my dad, I was raised by an awful lot of folks back home politically who taught me early on, along with my pop, that we have certain special obligations around the world. One of those, one of those, is Israel,” Biden told a predominantly elderly crowd at a retirement community in Boca Raton.

“I’m not going to talk about Israel today, I just want to say one thing. I just want to tell you how proud I am, how proud I am to stand shoulder to shoulder with a guy who has done more for Israel’s physical security than any president of the eight I’ve served with,” he continued.

I, unfortunately, agree with you that Romney sure looks to be throwing the election.

I hold him accountable if Obama is re-elected. Obama has what should go down in history as one of the WORST presidential records in the HISTORY of the US - has done more to divide this nation, to cripple the economy, and to destroy the very fabric of our society through the attacks and assaults on both religious freedom, but on the family as well. Republicans should be able to run a head of cabbage and still win the election... yet polls (which I know are heavily weighted and biased so are not an accurate indication) show a “dead heat” or even Obama winning? How can it be? Romney should be at over 60% (or at least 53%+).

Yes, we have a brain-dead society that has been “edumakated” by the Public Screwels for decades, and indoctrinated by the media. But still - I find it hard to believe America is THAT far gone.

Romney is NOT trying to win.
