Biden: Voters "having a difficult time" electing first African American president
abcnews.com ^ | 10/19/08 | Matthew Jaffe

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: As Election Day looms just over two weeks away, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said Saturday that with Republicans firing "vicious" and "dangerous" attacks at Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., voters are "having a difficult time" opting for the man who would become the nation's first African American president.

"Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president in the history of the United States of America," the Democratic vice-presidential nominee said at a San Francisco fundraiser Saturday evening. "So we need to respond. We need to respond at the moment, immediately, not wait, not hang around, not assume any of this won't stick."

"You see these vicious attacks on Barack's character," Biden told supporters. "I mean, this is dangerous stuff these guys are doing. This stuff is on the edge. It's on the edge. You know, there's some folks out there in the community nationwide that aren't as stable as others. It's a very small minority. But having these rallies where people are showing up saying, you know, the things they're saying - I don't even want to repeat them -- it's not a healthy thing."

Obama is 50% white as well.

Was there anyone there at the Biden Rally?? They say he is flying with an empty plane! so to speak as opposed to an empty brain! reports are that the Press Section of Biden’s plane is consistently EMPTY! NADA a REPORTER TO SPEAK OF!

He’s either African or American. Can’t be both.

To quote Teddy Roosevelt, “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” - Theodore Roosevelt 1907

I agree with Biden.

This election is making us unstable.

Someone should do something about this and not wait another moment.

Hopefully that someone will be God.

AHHHHHHH! No, I would elect Snoop-Dog before Obama, because I know he is an American, a capitalist, and a believer in free speech. Plus, at least Snoop-Dog admits he still smokes weed.

I wonder if you just started a new political career for Snoop.

I hope their internals are collapsing.

I believe they are, the other day I heard a commercial straight from the old democratic play book: "McCain is going to take away your medicare".

For a campaign that is for "change" (Obama's), it sure is resorting to old dem tactics now.

Please, voters, send Obambi back to the Senate.

I'd rather send him back to Kenya where he belongs. Barry needs to get a green card if he wants to stay here.

Hey BIDEN.

Even though you're saying “your all RACISTS - or you'll vote for 0bama” maybe you should consider that Americans would rather vote for someone:

- who can actually count

- who doesn't want to enable the Government driven redistribution of wealth

- someone who hasn't allied themselves with a group like ACORN a supporter like Ayers, or a Minister like Wright?

- someone with a resume to the Country that actually has meaning

I wouldn’t have such a difficult time voting for someone like J.C. Watts.

I would LOVE the opportunity to vote for J.C. Watts, although I heard he's turned a bit left on us. I hope it's not true. I could vote for Ken Blackwell or Michael Steele, or a couple of my personal heroes, Dr. Thomas Sowell or Dr. Walter Williams.

Hey, Joe, maybe people are actually having a difficult time electing Joe Biden as Vice President... ever consider the possibility that it may be you dragging down the ticket?

It wouldn’t be difficult at all if his name was Larry Elder.

There was a provocateur-troll who tried to insert the ‘N’ word in a post here last night — it was immediately deleted but every FReeper needs to be on the watch to report that kinds of garbage to the mods instantly. We can expect that there will be a concerted campaign over the next 2+ weeks to paint anyone hesitant, never mind opposed to Obama, as motivated by race and prejudice.

In reality, virtually all of the people motivated primarily by race are voting FOR Obama.

Unfortunately, it shows that for Colin Powell and millions of others, race trumps all.

I could not have imagined someone with Powell’s military record able to endorse a far-left anti-military liar and fraud who tried his best to LOSE a war, who publicly derided a distinguished American General who was in the midst of WINNING a great and difficult struggle.

Yet, Powell has endorsed Obama and is trying to tip the election to him with this late-in-the-game timing. Unreal.

You are to report immediately to nearest AmSoc learncamp.

You haven't mastered the basics of newspeak, my friend. Your oldthink will get you banned. Here is the translation of your above oldspeak statement:

camp.

To add to your list: I would vote for Walter Williams and/or Thomas Sowell in a heartbeat if they were political candidates, because of their exceptional minds, beliefs, and PRINCIPLES.

Not that they want to be electoral political candidates, but I wish they could be cabinet officers! One could be Secretary of the Treasury and the other could take HUD or Energy or another department related to their economics expertise.

In fact, I would be thrilled to see a cabinet that included Steele - Swan - Watts - Blackwell - Sowell - Williams in whichever cabinet posts made most sense, with any of them as President or VP.

This race-baiting crud from the left that Biden is spouting is disgusting, dishonest, and yes, UN-American.
