    …it is Biden, dumbass.

    woo hoo for Obama-Biden '08… just hand McCain the WH keys now ;)



  3. 103

    YAWN!!!!!!!



  4. 104

    all of you saying, "who is that" are obviously idiots. joe biden was in the race for the presidency, and he's a great choice…great personality too, and should relate well to voters. i have never left a comment before, but feel like it's necessary here. clearly you all are spending too much time commenting about britney spears' vagina pictures instead of learning anything of importance about your country. idiots.



  5. 105

    wow…way to pick someone who tried to run for prez twice before and lost…this just shows obama has an ego…he should've chosen hilary if he wanted the dems to win…this just solidifies my vote for mccain… selfish choice…he just lost the election…



  6. 106

    OBAMA '08!!!!!!



  7. 107

    This Dude looks really shady!!!! LOOK IT HIS GRIN I WOULDN'T TRUST HIM TO WATCH MY CAT! THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE A COMPLETE ASSHOLE AND IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED !!!! OBAMA WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?



  8. 108

    There goes the election!! I don't get to vote, because I am not even American, but this move just proves me right. Prepare yourselves for calling McCain US President 2008.



  9. 109

    Wow, it seems like everyone on this site is retarded. HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHO BIDEN IS ?? HE'S RUN FOR PRESIDENT *TWO* TIMES.

    Anyway .. I wanted hilary.

    but GO OBAMA , anyway! hehe



  10. 110

    a 65 year old with a history of TWO brain aneurysms! Guess we won't be hearing about MCCain's little skin spots NOW!

    Re: HellaGeo – THAT WAS MY THOUGHT! OBAMA-BIDEN SOUNDS LIKE OSAMA BIN LADEN! SCARY !!!



  12. 112

    umm, not that i'm saying i like dick cheney. but if bush was criticized for letting his vp have a strong influence on the administration by the likes of Biden and Obama… what makes this any different? Foreign Policy is always going to be needed and admittedly Obama lacks that. All i see with this ticket is Obama being the smooth talker and Biden making all the decisions. He should've chosen a different running mate.



  13. 113

    OBAMA BIN BIDEN 08



  14. 114

    Re: Johnny Lane – I agree. Morgan is an idiot. WAY off. Without Hillary—Obama lost it all. He will not win. All of middle America is not ready for a black president–he needed a LOVED and FAMILIAR face to win. That was Hillary. He is also profoundly ungrateful.



  15. 115

    Obama lost my vote! Hand the keys to the White House to McCain!!!



  16. 116

    well thats a weird ass choice

    oh yeah and obama is going to rise taxes like MEGA HIGH– i hate obama and mccain I WANT HILARY !!



  17. 117

    Yay! Yay! Yay!

    b-rock&joe.



  18. 118

    NO! NO! NO! I was thinking about voting for him, but Hillary was to be his VP!! Look how close the race was! That would have been the smartest move, plus a double new in history! DUMB! DUMB! DUMB! Now My family will not vote this year, we are both(voting age) DISGUSTED!!!!!!



  19. 119

    wow so many people wanted hillary that just goes to show ya how uneducated the youth of america is today! Get up on your facts folks she woulda been a disaster for this country!



  20. 120

    Re: trix – "it's not like vp's do anything…" ha! who do you think has been running this country during bush's terms?



  21. 121

    Zexy



  22. 122

    Senator Biden deserves this - he is well seasoned in the Senate in foreign matters. I wish it could have been Hillary, but politics is politics. Senator Biden has overcome such personal tragedy, after his wife and baby girl were killed in a car accident shortly after he was elected to the Senate in 1972. I'm looking forward to he and Barack Obama being elected, and the resulting change in the economy and a change in the US attitude.



  23. 123

    Cool, an old guy.



  24. 124

    HORRIBLE CHOICE!!!! I am so disappointed. OUR FOREIGN POLICY WILL NEVER CHANGE!!!: Biden is the most blindly Pro-Israel Democrat besides Lieberman who will probably end up being McCain's running mate. Biden actually refers to himslef as a ZIONIST even though he is Irish. The "war" on "terror" will NEVER end as long as we have other countries' interest influencing the decisions we make for our own. We are all puppets on strings for Rich White Christians and their Rich Zionist Lobbyist buddies. I have no faith in McCain but I really wanted to believe in Barack Obama. I am deeply saddened to know that NO REAL CHANGE WILL COME FROM AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY. We are screwed either way. With McCain you can expect WWIII to come very soon (Just look at how we are baiting the Russians over "The Georgian Conflict"). With Obama it WWIII will just come a little slower. He will do less damage but he will do nothing to make things better. Vote Obama! YAY!!!!!!



  25. 125

    Re: HellaGeo – LOL that is hilarious



  26. 126

    The Vice President is supposed to be able to step in and take the place of the President if required. WTF? Biden has bombed with the American people umpteen times in his own presidential bids. At least if he has picked Hillary, he would have protected himself from assasination.



  27. 127

    I must say I have no idea who the hell that guys is and generally I have some idea when it comes to poltics, granted I have been i England now for a few years years but I still read all the stuff, I am drawing a blank. Seriously I do not get Obama's appeal. I like him alot in the beging, now not so much, What type of American would not put his hand over their heart when our anthem is playing, being stuck out of American and living in Europe where evryone wants to give me thier opinion on what we are doing wrong. The one thing that keeps me going is my pride in my country and the pride my fellow country men and women have too. Look at England they could care less when thier anthem is played they look bored and like they don't care at football games. We all stand up hand over our heart and sing our little hearts out. I am hella proud to be an American, I don't know why obama would not do the same. Ok I am done ranting now



  37. 137

    out of his many moves, this one sounds careless

    HAHAHA WOW he really is the world's biggest celebrity.

    Biggest mistake ever made. Dear God help him. haha.



  43. 143

    wow such change…
    haha Likely Obama will lose now
    idiot shouldve stuck with Hillary..
    democrats will be lucky if they win now



  44. 144

    GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08



  45. 145

    Re: Kelly T – Bidin is "seasoned" alright! He has been in the Senate since 1973 and he knows every dirty trick in the book with respect to politics as usual in Washington. Now, wasn't the primary theme of the Obama campaign to rid our government of "politics as usual?" Yeah, right! I guess that went out the window right along with Obama being elected. This guy doesn't have the sense God gave a mongoose!



  46. 146

    So please tell me how the FUCK I'm supposed to get excited about this pick? It's one guy who doesn't know what he's doing picking a guy who has been whoring himself out for decades. Not exactly inspiring.. YAWN……………….Hillary would have been an energizing VP. Fucker may have just lost the White House.



  47. 147

    sort of wanted tim kaine…just so he would leave VA :)



  48. 148

    I can not believe how vacuous alot of you people are, from an objective person who actually watches something called the news. Though Biden has had his faults everyone has forgotten the keating 5 scandal that plagued Mccain for years. And to this right to life b.s. I am a strong supporter of feminism and abortion is just one of those necessary evils. An abortion is an elective surgery and should never be criminalized, if something is dependent on your survival when it i inside you is not a human being it's a parasite!



  49. 149

    like it matters anyway!



  50. 150

    AAHAHAHAH

    So it's Obama/Biden

    What a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE name to go to the running in. :lol:



  51. 151

    Re: eleanor rigby

    Right, it's not like he's actually ever going to be vice president.

    You Pro Obama people are just going to have to get used to McCain being president.

    Just like the Pro Hillary people that make claims that she WILL be president had to get used to her not being so.

    It's called reality. And sometimes you have to bite the pillow.



  52. 152

    BTW Not that I am surprised to see Obama on a CELEBRITY web page. ;)

    He's a raaaaaaaaawk staaaaaaaaaw just like Clinton wanted to be.

    Don't care about the country LOVE MEEEEE.



  53. 153

    Re: HOT4COOK Hillary would have been an energizing VP. Fucker may have just lost the White House.

    Hillary would have him LBJ'd so she could take over. He knew this. And he lost the White House a long time ago.



  54. 154

    I would suggest people do a little research before immediately bashing Biden. As a Delawarean, I have always been grateful to have Biden in a position of political power. He's incredibly smart and unafraid to speak his mind, unlike a lot of those politicians who speak their own twisted form of English so you can't get a straight answer out of them. He has everything Obama lacks — 30 years of experience in the Senate, a stellar political record, and amazing foreign policy experience. Many leaders of other nations have a better relationship with Biden than they do with the president of the US. Consider this: Georgia is being bombed by Russia. Who does the Georgian president call and request help from? Joe Biden.

    EXCELLENT choice. Obama/Biden 08!



  55. 155

    I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping for a Barack Obama-Paris Hilton ticket. "Vote for Obama-Hilton. That's hot!" Oh, well…..



  56. 156

    I'm moving out!



  57. 157

    Re: McManusMcChesney

    Actually it is…

    Research that shit before you guess.

    I think that it's a good choice. Not an amazing one as expected, but a good one none the less.



  58. 158

    Perez it sucks that you have a bunch of mindless readers that have no fucking clue about politics. I appreciate the news updates but obviously you are just not reaching your readers.

    I think Obama picking Biden is an excellent choice, because Obama doesn't know shit about foreign affairs and Biden has been in the Senate ever since Obama was only 11 and he has presided in the judiciary of foreing affairs more than once. This guy knows his stuff, no matter how outspoken he is (at least we know the guy is honest).

    I've been a fan of Biden; hoped that he'd actually get the democratic ticket for president but of course America would pick a celebrity (obama) over an actual potential candidate that could benefit this country in its time of need. I was going to vote Republican out of fear that Obama will put us in a worse situation globally since he has no fucking clue, but now that Biden is his running mate I feel more at ease now. Obama's revolutionary ideals, however unreaslitic they are, and Biden's realism and experience in foreign affairs might just save this country.



  59. 159

    Yay for Biden! Go Delaware!!!!



  60. 160

    I wish it were Hillary….



  61. 161

    Biden has been in the senator since he was 29 and is one of the oldest members. He has a great deal of experience and is a wonderful choice for Obama's runningmate. Personally I would have prefered Chris Dodd but he and Dodd are very similar. Biden is a bit scatterbrained when it comes to public speaking…but I'm sure Obama has that covered.

    Anyone who does not know who Biden is does not have a political pulse and clearly was only following this election because of it's pop culture value and not because of it's real importance and policies.



  62. 162

    BOO.
    .
    Obama has no experience to be able to run this country. He says he wants to give us a tax credit for 1k and raise taxes for the oil companies…. guess what the fuck is going to happen when the oil companies taxes are shot through the roof? OUR GAS PRICES WILL SKYROCKET EVEN MORE! We will end up paying for it, AGAIN. He's a fucking dumbass to even think this well help us!
    .
    He has no plans all he's talked about is change change change, and yet who the fuck knows what he's going to do about it? We got it. You want change but you have no idea how to get there! Obama needs to quit worrying about John McCains finances and how many houses he owns and start worrying about the American public. You are not running for president to preside over a fucking condo in palm beach.



  63. 163

    Lol, McCain is already pushing ads about Biden bashing Obama. This is perfect!



  64. 164

    ROFL - wasn't Joe Biden partially the inspiration in the 80's for the Saturday Night LIve character by Jon Lovitz who was a pathelogical liar? Yeah, that's the ticket!

    Re: Johnny Lane

    i totally agree. i wondered what they were going to do to kill his shot at the presidency. now it's a done deal–he's alienated the likes of me. who needs another old, rich, white bastard in as VP?



  66. 166

    Yes! This is good! :) OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!



  67. 167

    Re: flippizzle Perez it sucks that you have a bunch of mindless readers that have no fucking clue about politics.

    I agree. Just not for the same reasons you probably do. The thing is, people COME to this site to GET AWAY from reality. To soak in some fun, and good off. When Perez gets all "serious" and "shilly" this takes away from the reason MOST come here.

    Mark my words, Perez gets all political and his site is dead.



  68. 168

    Re: LotheSuperDem Anyone who does not know who Biden is does not have a political pulse and clearly was only following this election

    OR it could be because he simply hasn't done anything worth remembering him, or knowing him by.

    HONEY , GET REAL. EVERYONE LIES IN POLITICS!



  70. 170


  71. 171

    BTW I wanna know what Obama plans to do. Instead of saying "I am for change" That's a bullshit answer. That's a answer without answering. I don't trust politicians. I certainly don't trust one that is too afraid to let the American people know REALLY what he wants to do by covering it up by saying he wants "change"
    Here, I'll give him .25 cents. He can have his change.

    That is why it cracks me up when people say "I am for Obama!11" What part are you for? Change? What kind of change is he offering? Who knows. He's never said. That is what makes me thinking some of you are just choosing him cause of his party. More brain-dead sheeple like tactics.

    I like Obama as a person too. Seems like a nice guy.

    Just not someone ready to be the president. Maybe in another 10-20 years.



  72. 172

    Biden is just a whiter, older version of Obama with some foreign relations experience. He's known of constant lying and extreme arrogance. Mr. "My IQ is higher than yours" (yes, his words) will be a perfect running mate for 'Bama. Now, let's see who McCain picks. He has it hard too, conservatives think he's too liberal and want a "real" republican. If he did pick a conservative vp that could alienate all his democratic supporters and there's many of them. It'll be more interesting see that pick to be honest.



  73. 173

    yay!!!yay!!! YAY!!!! biden is obviously AWESOME bc he is a UD ALUM!

    woohoooo OBAMA!!!!!!



  74. 174

    lame!!!



  75. 175

    Joe "That's the Ticket” Biden. :lol:

    They should get John to go back and do him on SNL.



  76. 176

    Biden is cool!! I am liking this. I was hoping for Caroline Kennedy but this is fine. Biden is NOT boring. He can be really funny and he is very smart and has a lot of experience. Plus he knows his way around foreign relations stuff.
    I will really enjoy him campaigning. Plus the media really likes him. Obama and Biden together will do well. Iam good with this. I hope the Clintons will behave and not keep being nasty. Hillary is doing OK, but Bill is being a shit.
    And truthfully, if it wasn't for Bill being nasty, along with two or three people close to Hillary, who are sarcastic and nasty, Hillary could have been picked. It was her husband and her staff who really mucked things up. So now we have to get past that and move forward. We have to win!!! I cannot imagine McCain as president. He is crazy. Seriously.

    BYE BYE White house for Obama…
    WHY can't the democrats choose someone who can WIN???

    Four more years of Bush, er I mean, MCCAIN…

    Good bye dreams of Republican dominance ending…goodbye…



  81. 181

    haha suck on that HILARY!



  82. 182

    He made a mistake. He should have chosen Hilary.

    Lame.



  83. 183

    Barack could not have picked a better running mate for the Republican Party. Joe does not stick one foot or two feet in his mouth, he puts his whole fucking leg in his mouth. He is a loser from the get go. Looks like I will be sending our money to a winner, JOHN MCCAIN.

    Signed,

    Bill and Hilly Clinton



  84. 184

    My next guest is wrinkly, old, and going to be the next vice president! Please welcome Joe Biden! I'm Brian Fellow



  85. 185

    Joe Biden is the best canidate to help Senator Obama get to the White House. If anyone doesn't know Joe Biden, before you jump on the "hate bus," read any biography, this man lost a lot right before he started to his 30 year run as Senator. If you are really into politics, then read before you judge, or I have a website for you all, it is called: www.rnc(republicannationalconvention).com, because you are close minded Republicans.

  89. 189

    Will Obama continue to use the Iraq card after picking a vp that supported and voted for the war? Change we can believe in? And let's not forget Biden has used the n-word publicly aswell as laughed at pretty much every racial minority. This is going to be FUN!

    Great for the plagiarist to find someone. So much for a change? Same old same old, the usual politics. LOL, hopefully McCain chooses better.



  91. 191

    OBAMA MADE A SMART CHOICE. ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT. IM SORRY BUT HILLARY IS A BACKSTABBING BITCH. BESIDES SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GET OVER IT….LAST TIME I CHECKED THERE ARE OTHER WOMEN, SMART STRONG WOMEN, IN THIS COUNTRY….WHY DOES HILLARY HAVE TO BE THE FIRST WOMAN FOR ANYTHING??????? GIVE ME A BREAK.



  92. 192

    Has it crossed anyones mind that perhaps Hilary turned down an offer to be VP? Besides, she's too good for that post anyway. Hilary 2012!! I think Obama made a bad decision for his VP unfortunately. Now we have to wait and see who McCain picks.



  93. 193

    Obama '08!!
