Biden Leading Iraq Effort In Portfolio Shift
Newsweek : Vice President Joe Biden's official portfolio is expanding. NEWSWEEK has learned that President Obama has asked Biden to take the lead role on Iraq as the U.S. begins its scheduled drawdown of combat troops, a move that comes as administration officials are expressing concerns about the uptick in violence and political instability in the region. Biden's role will be something of an unofficial envoy to Iraq, though he won't handle day-to-day dealings with officials on the ground. The...

Jim Piccillo Introduces Joe Biden as John McCain
Jim Piccillo introduced Joe Biden at a rally as "the next Vice President of the United States John McCain." The audience clapped on cue. Would they have still clapped if McCain really walked out on stage? Jim Piccillo, who is a father of two, is a Republican who started campaigning for Barack Hussein Obama after Jim was laid off from his job. I have to wonder if perhaps Jim lost his job because he kept making simple mistakes like calling people by the wrong name. Rela

Obama’s middle name - not in the talking points!
It’s a war of words.  Whether it is Sarah Palin’s overuse of the word “maverick,” John McCain’s anguish-inducing repetition of “my friends,” or the gaffe-laden potpourri emanating from Joe Biden, the words candidates say are always under the microscope. Surrogates and supporters do best when they act like parrots – mimicking talking points rather than expressing a thought of their own. And actually, that’s fair. You don’t vote for spokespeople. You v

POLITICIANS OR MOB BOSSES, PT. 5
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell asks Obama spokesperson Bill Burton about the “ugliness” we’ve seen at Palin-McCain rallies in recent days… Burton, ever on the “on-message” guy, downplayed the significance of the random calls for murder and instead claimed that whatever “anger” exists over there is misplaced, that what McCain should be angry about the shrinking middle class… blah blah blah. So we’ve got Joe Biden rightly calling attention to this
