I know, I know. It's been a while. I'm deeply sorry.
Here's the latest from Joe Biden.
That one's just funny. Pretty straightforward. He totally could have gotten away with it if he hadn't spelled jobs out.
This one's more problematic.
Now that one seems natural. yeah, new president, new problems, countries try to get their digs in before he gets powerful. But, this says two things. First of all, it breaks down a major leg of the Obama campaign. Obama has been promising us that his presidency will restore our standing in the world, and everyone will love us. That's what he was trying to point out with his international trip to Europe this summer. What Joe Biden is apparently saying is that no, Obama's not going to make the world love us. Though the logical among us knew that already, in brings down a major foundation of Obama's campaign: Bush has destroyed our standing, the world hates him. The world loves me, I will restore our standing.
Second, and I don't have a clip of this, but Biden goes on in this speech to say that their (his and Obama's) approval ratings will plunge and people will stop liking them. He almost pleads with the crowd to remember the love they now have for the Obama-Biden ticket and stick with them. Of course, this is after the Democratic party, including Obama and Biden, have spent years trying to undermine Bush's approval ratings, with much success. But now the tables are turning, and they apparently can do it to others, just pretty please don't do it to them. They'll be nice now. Be nice to them.
Yeah, right.

Read this
As people get more and more fired up for this election, I'm afraid that partisanship rises. Here is an article I just found. I personally love it.

Grrr!
This'll be fast.
A story just recently broke that the moderator for the vice presidential debate this Thursday is releasing a pro-Obama book in time for the next president to enter office. Now, this is ridiculous because it just adds to the partisanship that is tearing our country apart. In my opinion, she should just zip it and wait until after all of this to state her opinions on this. Actually, everyone could use being a bit less publicly partisan. I think it would help.
Told you it would be short.
