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."

Not true. Only the bad ones and who says except Barry that he’s African American.

If I were African Americans; I would be insulted that this guy is trying to be one of them especially when he is going to tank them.

Of course Joe can’t say Americans don’t want a Socialist for president, it’s gotta be about his race.

Please, voters, send Obambi back to the Senate.

Anyone who speaks the truth is a racist. Joe the plumber is racist... stop the smears by crying “racism” 24/7. Maybe it’s just starting to wear a little thin, don’t you think?

No, Joe, we’re having a problem electing the first terrorist loving socialist president!

Enough race baiting already! The fact that Obama has gotten this far proves Americans are NOT racist!

Stand up, Joe, you freak!

I’m with you. I am so sick of this BS.

The worst part is that Biden knows that this is BS, there is just no way he really believes this, but is spreading this dangerous junk anyway.

So let me get this straight:

1. Anyone who does not vote for Obama is racist.

2. Attacking Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber is perfectly fine, but pointing out the truth about Obama creates a dangerous situation.

Yup..

The American people do not like being lied to and taken advantage of for political ends.

My two cents...

If Obama is elected, we’ll eventually long for the days of Jimmy Carter...

This makes me SICK!
I didn’t vote for Gore.
I didn’t vote for Kerry.
I’m not voting for Obama.
Does that make me racist?


No, but it does make you patriotic.

His race has very little to do with his electability. He simply is not experienced enough for the demands of the job. He is a sock puppet for the radical left of the party. As my tag line says, Affirmative action is no way to elect a President, now or ever....

My husband went up to the Penn State game in central PA yesterday. He said the patriotism was on display everywhere. They had a military flyover after the national anthem and the crowd went wild. There were McCain Paln signs every where from the nearby farms to the tailgaters cars. Flags flying from RVs. Todd Palin was up there to rally hunters and fisherman and then he went to the game.

Biden pulling the race card again. We will hear this over and over again until election day. The Dems are trying to keep their base in line and influence independents with the message, if you don’t vote for Obama, you are a racist.
