Biden: Voters "having a difficult time" electing first African American president

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."

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’d vote for Tina Turner ahead of Snoop Dog....and not just because she is female.
She has a PhD from the school of life and hard knocks. She at least understands what it is to get knocked down and to get up again and to be very successful.

What do you expect, Joe? We’re all just a bunch of bitter small town racists clinging to our guns and religion!

Murtha has now added more. We are now:

"bitter small town REDNECK racists clinging to our guns and religion!"

Murtha calls W. PA, Redneck
