PRICELESS
Biden has got to be one of the most wrong-footed politicians to run for president.
His comment about Obama being the first intelligent, articulate African-American candidate (OMG, he's almost human!). . .
His remark that you can't work in a convenience store unless you have a slight Indian accent . . .
And now, in response to a question from a dead miner's widow -- and in the midst of efforts to save trapped miners in Utah -- he delivers an absolute gem.
And people say that politicians are self-absorbed and out of touch . . .

Can't watch you tou tube at work, what did he say exactly?
Are there any candidates form both parties that you think would make a good president?

He basically ignored a woman who's son or husband was killed in a mine accident's question about workplace safety started talking about foreign policy stuff, specifically about Obama saying he'd go into Pakistan without Musharaff's approval to take out Al Qaeda if he had the intel.
Biden is very knowledgeable about foreign policy. He knows that he's just jockeying for a strong voice in foreign policy with whoever wins the nomination (which looks more and more like Hillary all the time). But yeah, that' just wasn't smooth at all.

Doesn't sound good, especially with the internets tubes getting stuff like this all over the place.
Isn't Biden pushing for splitting Iraq into three states? Personally I think its wishful thinking, tinkering with boirders hasn't helped in the past and the proposed divide will leave the oil in one area.
Obamas comments were idiotic, true Pakistan is an area that needs alot of attention but to publicly say he'd bomb it without authorisation form Mushareef reeks of inexperience.

The real problem is in the format of the debates... Then entire thing is a joke.
Why do you jump from obama talking about invading pakistan, to some lady asking another candidate about mine safety. It doesnt make any sense.

Here you go, Jackirons. Slightly more flattering video of Biden with Jon Stewart.
This was just before his gaffe I think.
