Biden: McCain has to ‘figure out which of the 7 kitchen tables to sit at.’
Biden: McCain has to ‘figure out which of the 7 kitchen tables to sit at.’
In a speech accepting his role as Barack Obama’s running mate this afternoon in Springfield, IL, Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE) argued the American Dream has slipped away under eight years of Bush administration policies. He added that while Americans sit at their kitchen tables worrying about bills, McCain has to “figure out which of the 7 kitchen tables to sit at”:
I don’t have to tell you that. You see it in your shrinking wages. … We cannot afford to keep giving tax cuts after tax cuts to big corporations and wealthiest Americans, while middle class families are falling behind. [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, your kitchen table is like mine. You sit there every night after you put the kids to bed and you talk, you talk about what you need. You talk about how much you’re worried about being able to pay the bills. Well ladies and gentlemen, that’s not a worry that John McCain has to worry about. It’s a pretty hard experience — he’ll have to figure out which of the seven kitchen tables to sit at.
As Biden says, McCain’s plan would give America’s 200 largest corporations $45 billion in tax breaks, $4 billion to the top five oil companies, and $2 billion to the top 10 health insurance companies. And as the Tax Policy Center reported, McCain’s plan has no benefit for the poorest taxpayers.

And THAT is where Biden is going to prove valuable--Obama will present the cerebral, young, energetic visionary, while Biden will assert his dealmaking and foreign policy bona fides with a rhetorical sledgehammer.
It may not be perfect, but it ought to be fun.
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:10 pmFun, indeed!
Well, I guess not for McStain.
RE: the other thread, I for one would like to make...
PEACE
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:13 pmBiden kicked ass with his speech ; and the blue tie Joe sported while Obama donned a red one , complimented the other's beautifully...
Plus , when their wives joined the candidates , it made for quite an attractive group pic .............
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:17 pmI am lovin' me some Joe Biden! At first I wasn't thrilled but I spent a few hours researching his background and became more and more impressed. The little bit they (repukes) have thrown out there against Biden is pretty pathetic. He is a real guy with a real life and real family values. He is also a real fighter for what he believes in.
Right now I am listening to a McInsane surrogate whine on about the "not ready to lead comment." These a$$hoiles are such a sorry lot.
Obama/Biden 08!!!!
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:22 pmMcCain better come up with some great swiftboating and some fanciful lies that could merit some Academy Award nominations, because the standard stuff he's been spouting just got shoved back into his endocrine system by Biden.
I think Karl Rove's bank account just added a nice eight figures to save the GOP's old maid.

I second that emotion.
If we have to beat on somebody, do it to the troll population.
Watching this Jim Vandehei from the Politico on C-Span try to spin today for McSame. He's a putz.
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:32 pmThe long and short of McCain's comment regarding his homes is that it showed incredible lack of presidential acumen. He is more like a punk-ass, wise-cracking adolescent - you know, like Bush.
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:34 pmThe righties comeback is that Biden has been INSIDE seven houses before. Therefore, HE's the elitist.
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:34 pmLoved Biden! I felt that energy all over again! House of Roberts - I watched Vandhei also.....very poor choice for C-Span after the rally.
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:36 pmI'm pretty sure the right will be pointing out that Joe Biden doesn't sit at the kitchen table wondering how to pay the bills, but he makes a very powerful case.
He's a good choice.
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:45 pmlike the infamous words from the movie Animal House - "THIS IS GREAT". The free ride from the media is over for McSame. The questions that they should be asking but won't will be put center stage by Joe Biden, and if the repukes do nothing but try to spin everything - they are toast. I am excited by what I've seen so far.
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:46 pmHow can the supposed 18 million NOT change their mind?
This IS good!
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:47 pmYou go, Joe!
And for you algebra buffs:
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:47 pmIf x = number of houses owned by McCain
and if y = number of houses owned by Cindy,
What is z?
z ain't the White House, that's for sure...
And all Pelosi needed was one table to put Impeachment.
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:49 pmI just have one question. Does McCain even own a house? I thought it all belonged to sweet Cindy. Or am I misremembering McCain declaring nothing because everything is in her name?

Babs must have had twenty pounds on him.
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:00 pmIt'll be nice listening to two people that can speak in public with eloquence and intelligence. Biden and Obama speak with respect, and I'm tired of idiots speaking to us as if we are all four-year olds. Biden can be verbose, but that'll be good for rebublican regurgitation points. Joe can attack while Obama reiterates his stance in context. Good choice, but I admit that Barack would've had to pick a Manson worshiper for me not to vote for him. It hasn't taken long for the current admin to follow Obama's foreign policy suggestions. In some cases, mere weeks go by and they're doing exactly what he has said. Please, let's move the inauguration back a couple months, have Obama sworn in on Nov 20 so he can officially start getting us out of this hole. If not, I'm fine with him leading from the back seat until January. We can only improve.
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:00 pmObama/Biden will be a hard combo to beat...experience plus vision of change. Biden has had the backbone to speak out against bushie/cheney for quite awhile while everyone else kissed the hem of the robes.
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:11 pmRe: Biden's income his last IRS statement had him in the hole not outstandingly wealthy as most politicians, guess the lobbyists didn't buy him many lunches.
mccain/rover will be scratching hard to find some dirt for the koolaide drinkers to lap against two fine people. repubs won't know how to deal with honesty and integrity.
Anyone else care that mccain graduated 5th from the bottom of his class at Annapolis ? Just like bush mccain used contacts and dad's help to eat from taxpayer's money. Oh lets not forget marrying well always is helpful.

I've said it before but it bears repeating: It does not matter whose name these McCain homes are under because, according to the State of Arizona community property laws, any property acquired during the course of a marriage are considered joint property in the eyes of the law.
The houses that are owned by Arizona Barbie's corporation(s) are another matter, but that is clearly not the case for four, five, six, seven (oh, who the heck knows!) of these houses.
The Obama ad says "Seven. Seven houses." and the only way McCain disputes that is to say "He's lying! It's really eight!" (or nine, ten, oh, why bother)
PEACE
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:19 pmI'd rather the right hurry up and blow their load with the talking points while Biden is on the honeymoon, so Biden can return home and clean house.
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:19 pmI like Biden.
I like Obama.
Definitely a winning ticket, both for the Democratic Party and for our nation.
Republicans religiously believe in the death penalty. Most conservatives, if not all conservatives, religiously believe in the death penalty. Two thousand years ago, those people who crucified Jesus Christ religiously believed in the death penalty...and scourging.
Over the past eight years, similar-minded simple-minded conservatives, who religiously believe in the death penalty (and scourging/torture), have done everything they can to crucify our nation, cripple our liberal democracy, castigate our Constitution, destroy it. For eight long, long years, Bush, Cheney and all the conservative neo-con Republicans have been chanting "Death to America," driving up deficits, selling out our children's future, subverting the rule of law, promoting the "death penalty" for U.S. citizens (Katrina) and other men, women and children overseas (Iraq), while lying about all that they've been doing to destroy America, to crucify the "liberal" in our liberal democracy.
I like Obama.
I like Biden.
Definitely a winning ticket, both for the Democratic Party and for our nation.

Plus, it brought to my mind the scene frm the first Batman movie where Bruce Wayne is entertaining a young lady at this long table - they are so far apart they can't even have a conversation. And Wayne finally says that he's never even been in this room before.

August 23rd, 2008 at 5:55 pmTrollshit Kerry, you’re citing an article authored by Ron Fournier, who you refused to name because you’re wimp, is known to slant his pieces in favor to the right. He was caught kissing Karl Rove’s behind via email.
The biased title you refused to post: Ana lysis: Biden pick shows lack of confidence.
That is far from the standard of neutrality.

I'm not sure why all their property is in her name, but since they have acquired them all after their marriage, and Arizona is a community property state, McBush owns half of all those houses whether he likes it or not.

Yes, from the AP, another wholly owned and operated subsidiary of the RNC.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:10 pmSo will the Republican Convention's theme now be "Weekend at Bernie's", where they'll need two VP's to prop up John "Bernie" McCain and carry him to Super Tuesday? I mean the guy has so many surrogates, the MSM would probably help cover-up or actually support a double shot at VP, given that most of them have already drank the soiled suds by the gallon of his "pro-rich, anti-everyone else" politics.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:11 pmSo THIS IS CHANGE?????????????????????????????
Well, the trash pickup of America would be scheduled at any time during a McCain presidency, so yes, it would be a positive change at any rate. As a failure in life, an understatement, you're afraid of progress, and therefore afraid of democrats.
Hit-n-run commenting is not a debate, let alone a victory in a debate.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:13 pmObama doesn't need "yes men" around him in order to function -- like Bush et al.
So Biden said some things about Obama. So?
Get over it, piss-soaked trolls.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:16 pmRight on Zooey!!!
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:21 pmBiden could prove to be a sound bite machine. And he knows Flippy McSpin in public and private. This should be good.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:24 pmI second that, Zooey.
Who hasn't criticized a close confidante in some way?
OoOoO Biden said something mean about Obama...I BETTER VOTE GOP AND KEEP MY $4.00 GAS PRICES!!!
Home sweet home sweet home sweet home sweet home sweet home sweet home!
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:29 pmI don't think it's coincidence that trolls like kerrytroll can do nothing but regurgitate talking points they have been spoon-fed. No ability to think for themselves at all. Sad, sad, sad.
Obama and Biden are about to kick some serious ass!

May be repeating here, but Zed Lefflin has clearly forgotten the first Bush and his lovely wife, Babs.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:39 pmi was a little surprised by the restraint showed in the article.
i mean, this is logically a non-sequitur, and dishonestly incendiary, but they didn't even take the opportunity to call him a nazi or the antichrist. where's the drama?
imho, all that paragraph means is that he's going to run an actual realistic campaign aimed at winning the presidency. i think biden will do a good job on that front, despite his faux pas in the past. hurrah, i say. could have been worse. gotta remember that the repubs are going to have an ad campaign prepared for every possible outcome of every decision Obama and Biden make from here on out, before he makes it.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:46 pma little OT and a few minutes delayed, but I had to stop laughing in order to type:
Fox News Somebody With a Microphone was just blasting into NBC's Andrea Mitchell, who -- six days ago -- brought up the Obama camp's dissatisfaction with the premise that John McCain was in a "cone of silence."
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:50 pm"Reporters are supposed to just say things; they're supposed to verify them first," the Fox guy said. ... of course, this brings up the "terrorist fist jab" incident, followed by Fox's daily modus operandi.
Puh-leeze.
Go, Obama/Biden!!!
Is it not odd? I don't think anyone is surprised by the selection of Sen. Biden. He was high on my list of Presidential hopefuls before Sen. Obama came on and people are, at least, familiar with his name. Yet, by virtue of his very first statement, he's added an excitement to the race.
I'm not making any predictions but, I have a feeling that the desperate babble from the Reichwingers on Monday will be classic wingnuttery. And maybe, just maybe, the idiot psychochristian who hosts the show following the baseball games on local Reichradio will stop whining about Hillary confiscating his boat and truck to save the planet?
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:50 pmCorrection from Patty @ 6:50: "Reporters AREN'T supposed to just say things; they're supposed to verify them first."
Apologies.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:52 pmQ: How many houses does John McCain own?

A: John McCain...
Zed Lefflin Says:

And this is important, why?
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:55 pmThe Bidens and the Obamas on stage after the speeches today painted a lovely picture. Middle class clothing for the women, no suit coats for the men -- Biden's jabs at McCain are only the beginning -- I won't care if Biden makes a few verbal gaffes - as long as they are all against McSame.
Should McCain select Romney, they will have a huge PR job in convincing the average American that they "feel their pain."
Speaking of which -- where the heck is Bill Clinton?
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:58 pmI do not understand why they are in such low profile; her die-hards are planning stunts for the convention (I don't hear her telling them to knock it off) and Bill says he looks forward to campaigning for Barack -- well? I'm waiting!

August 23rd, 2008 at 6:59 pmJim Vandehei from the Politico
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:03 pmPolitico was started as an "independent" political web site - withn 24 hours, it was very apparent that it was Republican slanted, Republican influenced -- that same week, none other than Dubya himself gave the website a plug.
Shameless.
Vandehei and Harris are Republican tools.
Biden is the "poorest" (financially) in the Senate. He can claim ownership of the economic issues facing Americans today -- that, in addition to his foreign policy bone fides.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:05 pmYOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!
The local sports radio station, not Reichradio, just announced an appeal to help identify an elderly man who was found wandering, "confused and couldn't remember his way home".
The announcer then said, "No. It's not John McCain"!
I hope the old gentleman they found is alright and lives another 100 glorious years, but you gotta appreciate the humor.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:05 pmIf McSame chooses Romney, they will be a pair with more than 12 houses between them!
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:07 pmThat'll sit well with people who think the repugs are concerned about kitchen-table issues.
By the way...did any of Romney's sons take advantage of their father's election Respite to Enlist?

Another plus for Biden. He's been riding Amtrak to his HOME in Wilmington after work for all these years. When they were trying to interview him in his car the other day he looked like any other guy headed down to the store. No limo, no chauffeur, just Joe behind the wheel. I liked that.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:48 pm“If McSame chooses Romney, they will be a pair with more than 12 houses between them!

We should ALL send it to the campaign, the local TV and newspapers, every web site we can think of etc.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:57 pmThis is looking good for the Obama camp and not so good for MaCain.
Obama has been good on the attack, but he will have to lay back and try to stay above the fray. He has already staked out the "look Presidential" position.
Biden will be the one to get down in the mud with McCain and slug it out. That is his job. He is good at it while remaining a likable guy (the MainStream Media LOVE Biden) while McCain more and more comes across as a forgetful/grumpy old man.
McCain's VP pick has to be REALLY good (and Romney will be a disaster for the Republicans).
McCain's only chance is to dig up Regan and make him the VP.
August 23rd, 2008 at 8:02 pmi can't believe reagan would take that kind of insult lying down.

August 23rd, 2008 at 8:33 pmPete and Marie, the updated "3:00 a.m. phone call" ad would be a perfect fit for someone over at Greenwald's Brave New Films, or maybe Jed of Jed report fame.

Hey! i was there!!!
AND i got to meet the inimitable Shayne!!! the genuine article! such a sweety, to me! didn't have enough time together as she was part of the "staff"... heh...
the ONLY thing wrong about the event, and it was a biggie -
not enough water...
i think it could be a story... they made everybody toss their bottled water... but you could buy big cups of water for $2... i passed a water stand because i couldn't get a bottle and didn't want to bother with a cup - which i think most everybody else felt the same... it didn't take long, in the hot sun to know that i had to go back and get some water - good people kept my spot in return for an extra cup... the press of the crowd made that trip near impossible... but i think it was a mistake to not allow bottled water - which is much more convenient to sip on and re-cap... many people were suffering... there was not enough water.
but, damn, it was a great event... at the spot where barack announced, the old capitol building...
i was there THAT day also - Feb 07, bitter cold... at least it was a georgeos sunny day...
today we were cheering the clouds! just glad it wasn't in the 90s or more!
Feb. and Aug. in Illinois - one extreme to the other!
i think i preferred the COLD! ... i'm pooped...

August 23rd, 2008 at 10:39 pmWell, Biden is off at a good start. Cracked up when he said that Thurston Howell III McSame has to figure out which 7 kitchen tables from his 7 homes that he can't remember to sit at. He hit home with that statement.
August 23rd, 2008 at 10:58 pmMcCain just opened a whole can of those super worms over in the UK with the attack on Biden & Obama (if he does in-fact go with Romney). The commercials of the GOP primary debates with clips of Romney in attack mode and lobbing his anti-McCain bombs will make this just downright unfair. Why is it that the people around McCain just don't really think anything through? What is Karl Rove being paid to do, just slack off this time around? Whatever it is, this is starting to shape up like early 1990's Nebraska Cornhuskers football aka Obama/Biden vs. McCain and whomever else or better known as "name your private bum-fu(k university of 1,300 students here" who'll lose 71-10.
August 23rd, 2008 at 11:42 pmWell Obama was right about FISA was right about Iraq, I guess thats a start.
August 23rd, 2008 at 11:56 pmMaybe before Biden gets too vocal, he and Obama ought to figure out which one of them is running for president.

But with the latest revelation that the McCain women have a much tighter grasp on the finances than John or any of the other McCain men, wouldn't Cindy be the "real" president to John's "puppet"?
Biden's comment on the "good soldier" is a bit more telling now.
August 24th, 2008 at 2:42 amI LOVED the comment by Mr. Biden about the 7 tables of McBush. It showed his humor, intelligence, and his knowledge about the issues that trouble us.

The righties comeback is that Biden has been INSIDE seven houses before. Therefore, HE’s the elitist.
That is EXACTLY it. The wingnut brigade has worn that one out. If a Republican steals a car drives drunk and mows down ten people the GOP immediatly screams that Dems drive cars too.

August 24th, 2008 at 8:19 amHow about an ad showing Arlington Cemetery on Veterans Day, as each headstone has an American Flag placed in front of it, then a picure of Rommney's 5 son's, with Mitt's comment about "the boy's serving their country on the campaign trail!"
August 24th, 2008 at 8:56 amThank (several of) you for clearing that up about who actually owns McCain's seven (or whatever) houses. It was just that I had this mental image of the world's oldest American gigolo trying to get into the Whitehouse.

August 24th, 2008 at 10:39 amJohn McCain was interviewed by Katie Couric, and asked about his Inability to Recall the Number of Houses he Owned.
The Answer from this Candidate who does not want to politicize his Viet Nam War experience...
"There were many years when he had NO Kitchen Table at all."
When pressed, he suggested that he only lived in FOUR houses, The rest were investments.
August 24th, 2008 at 11:59 am“There were many years when he had NO Kitchen Table at all.”
This is more reality-based:
Did Couric asked how many years was that?
