Biden’s speech

For those of you who couldn’t listen to the whole thing because you were looking for nickels in your sofa cushions, here’s a summary:

“I was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It doesn’t get more blue collar than that. My parents believed in the American dream. My dad fell on hard times, but we bounced back. He said to me, “Champ, when you get knocked down, get up. Get up.” My mother told me, “Joey, God sends no cross you cannot bear.” She taught us to have faith and be tough, and to face down every challenge. Our family has seen more than it’s share of adversity. We did what we had to do, and I am so proud of what we achieved.

So, now that I see so many people struggling, I have to ask, “Why isn’t the government helping all these people?”

He then proceeded to bash “my dear, good friend, and I mean it,” John McCain.
