Joe Biden is brilliant, genuine and a TRUE patriot., He continuously GIVES to this nation and posesses REAL integrity (as in the Democratic definition.... not the Republican which is "lies pathologically without getting caught"). Thank God for Joe Biden. Thank God for Barak Obama. Thank God for real patriotism. Republicans are failures, liars, lacking in intellect and devoid of patriotism. They are the anti-Christ...they are the Anti-Americans. Shame on them for their stupidity and where it has left America. Truly despicable. The only things they are good at is lying and manipulation. Oh, and have you noticed...McBlame is senile.

During the civil war, President Lincoln would post daily comments on the internet on the war''s progress. Right Joe.

Will Obama Democrats stop playing politics long enough to pass the economic rescue package?

To fhmullane: He may not be responsible for the questions asked, but he sure is responsible for the pathetic responses he gives.

Our situation financially and security wise is in serious shape. Doesn''t matter that BUSH created this mess but I think we have a serious situation and this isn''t the time for joking. Biden is a very knowledgeable guy and he cannot be responsible for the questions posed to him.

Apparently there is no question that is easy, soft, and fluffy enough for Biden to answer correctly.

"When George Washigton was having trouble with those pesky British troops, he calmed the nation by going on Meet the Press and reasuring the American people that victory was at hand!"

somebody save us from bill clinton and Joe Biden. Biden does not even know why the Ad was done. It was about a candidate who in the 21st century does not use a computer not that he can not. That is being out of touch. Joe what is terrible about that??????????

Couric and Biden better never get on the show, "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader." Remidial history classes for both.

I could not believe what I heard Joe Biden say! Franklin Roosevelt was not even President when the stock market crashed(Herbert Hoover was, Roosevelt was elected in 1932) and no one went on the experimental medium known as television!! It was equally funny to realize he made this comment while describing how great leaders handle crisis situations! I''ve got plenty of confidence that he knows exactly what he is doing....NOT! Why didn''t Katie get it and call him on it??

Typical brain-dead simplistic questions from this Couric Clown to a highly qualified nuts and bolts candidate.

Perhaps Senator Biden needs a history lesson. Senator Biden stated "When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television..." There were no more than 7,000 televisions in the US by 1941 - suffice to say even fewer in the early 1930s.

Perhaps Katie Couric could show us a clip from the television broadcast that Senator Biden referred to. Perhaps his comment came from the same fantasy world his claim that his wife and child were killed by a drunk driver - absolutely untrue. His wife tragically pulled out in front of a semi-truck. The police investigation indicated the semi-truck driver was not drunk, had not been consuming alcohol nor did he have any history of alcohol abuse.

If the truth be known.
Earmarks %u2013 just this year Joe Biden requested over $340 million in pork. Obama has not released any information on his earmarks yet. The McCain campaign has asked for how much earmarks Joe Biden has requested since 1972 when he started%u2026must be a staggering sum since he requested just $340 million this year. The Obama campaign called for a request checking John McCain back since 1990 and could not find any evidence that McCain had ever requested or received any earmarks. Who is giving away your money?

WHAT?! CBS is going to give air time to Biden?

Did they check with McCain-Palin and clear it with there campaign?!

They''ve been so busy promoting McCain-Palin the past three weeks, they''d forgotten there''s the ''other'' competitors in the race---you know, what''s their names?!
