Look, folks, I know Halloween is coming, I know Halloween.
But John McCain dressed up as an agent of change? That costume
just doesn't fit, folks.
Joe Biden

Hey, Bonita, I'm Joe. Not the plumber, Joe the Biden.
Joe Biden
Greeting woman called Bonita, on US presidential

Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle
the number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to
be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S.
Joe Biden
Jobs is a three-letter-word, according
to Biden speaking about John McCain's economic policies at a
US presidential election rally, October 2008 . |
If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know
where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me. Come back
to the area where my helicopter was forced down, with a three-star
general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those
mountains. I can tell you where they are.
Joe Biden
Addressing National Guard, Baltimore, September
2008, about time his helicopter had to make a landing due to

When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the
television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed.

A man I’m proud to call my friend. A man who will be
the next President of the United States — Barack America!

Ladies and gentlemen, your kitchen table is like mine. You
sit there at night before you put the kids -- after you put
the kids to bed and you talk, you talk about what you need.
You talk about how much you are worried about being able to
pay the bills. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's not a worry
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.
Joe Biden
In a salvo against 2008 Republican US presidential
candidate John McCain and his seven houses. McCain replied on
'The Tonight Show': "I spent 5 1/2 years in a prison cell.
I didn't have a house, I didn't have a kitchen table, I didn't
have a table, I didn't have a chair." |
Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world
tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is
looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator
president of the United States of America. Remember I said it
standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch,
we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis,
to test the mettle of this guy.
Joe Biden
Predicting international crisis during
first six months of Obama’s Presidency, at fund-raising

My impression is he thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis
are going to have an epiphany of peaceful coexistence among
warring sects. I’ve seen zero evidence of that.
Joe Biden
On Barack Obama's Iraq plan, September
13, 2007. |
I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe
he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to
on-the-job training.
Joe Biden
About US presidential candidate Barack
Obama in August 2007. |
I got tested for AIDS. I know Barack got tested for AIDS.

There's only three things he mentions in a sentence -- a noun,
a verb, and 9/11.
Joe Biden
On Republican US presidential hopeful Rudy
Giuliani, 2007. |
I should start with an apology to Rudy Giuliani. I said every
sentence Rudy utters has a noun, a verb, and 9/11 in it. I was
wrong. He called me to tell me after Pat Robertson's endorsement,
there's an Amen in every sentence he says too.
Joe Biden
After Giuliani was endorsed by evangelical
Pat Robertson for US president, 2007. |
I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who
is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I
mean, that’s a storybook, man.
Joe Biden

Obama, January 2007. He later apologised for these remarks,
saying: "I deeply regret any offense my remark in the New
York Observer might have caused anyone. That was not my intent
and I expressed that to Sen. Obama". |
In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans,
moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin’
Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not
joking.
Joe Biden
In conversation with American-Indian political
activist in 2006, he was later slammed for making insensitive
and inappropriate remarks. |
John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would
be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think

Joe Biden
On 'The Daily Show', August 2, 2005. |
He’s a long term threat and a short term threat to our
national security. We have no choice but to eliminate the threat.
This is a guy who is an extreme danger to the world.
Joe Biden
On Saddam Hussein, on 'Meet the Press'
in 2002 . |
Saddam must be dislodged from his weapons or dislodged from
