Joe Biden, Hillary and Bill Clinton on CSPAN now

By GottaLaff

They're in Scranton. MSNBC is carrying it, too, but CSPAN won't cut away.

Jill Biden is speaking now. Now Bill is speaking. He's on his way to Virginia, where he says we'll win. He says his job is to intro Hillary whose job is to intro Joe.

It's their 33rd wedding anniversary (Hill/Bill). Congratulations!

Bill: This is not just about politics, we have to repair the financial system of America, restore America's standing in the world. ... Obama couldn't have made a better choice for VP... and everyone in Congress knows it (paraphrased). He's introing Hillary now. She's done 50 events for Obama, raked in 10 million dollars (that last $ one was from me, not Bill). If you supported her, think about why you did it. ... Think about what we owe the next generation... Who understands these challenges? Barack Obama.

Hillary is up now. My message: We must elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden! ... Won't it be wonderful to have a vice president you're proud of? We need as many Dems in the Congress as we can get. I haven't spent 35 years in the trenches... fighting for middle class people... to see another Republican in the White House squander our nation. We are in a financial crisis... born and bred by failed Republican policies championed by Bush, McCain, and the Washington Republicans... They said, "what home mortgage prices?" ... To Bush/McCain, middle class sinking into debt are invisible.... When this crisis finally hit Wall St., suddenly, oh my goodness, they snapped to attention. Bail out the banks, financial firms... Bail them out... What about the millions losing their homes/jobs every single day? Where's their bailout? ...

Failure is not an option. We must elect leaders who will put people first... That's why I'm barnstorming this week. We can't afford another 4 more years of the last 8 years... McCain still wants to privatize Social Security... Imagine if your S.S. had been in the stock market the last 8 weeks!... They believe America can't win unless most Americans lose... That's why McCain asked for more tax cuts for corporations/Big Oil... We are at the core of whether this country goes up or down! ... They broke it and we're not buying it any more... Biden and Obama will lead us out of this economic crisis, clean up this mess that the Rs left behind... Think back to the close of the Clinton administration, wages were rising, surplus.. prosperity was shared... so we can do it again...(paraphrasing). It took a Democratic to clean up the last Pres. Bush, it'll take a Dem. president to clean up after this President Bush!

America will once again rise from the ashes of the Bushes!

I'm fighting for the people who are invisible to Bush... and that's why I'm fighting for Barack and Joe. People ask "who are you for?" That's not the right question. The right question is "who is for you?" I'm gonna work as hard as I can for President Obama and VP Biden! I look forward to being on the back lawn of the White House when President Obama signs into law health care that's good for you, and you and you!

[She's relating well to the people of Scranton... lots of cheers during the speech.]

Joe's never forgotten where he came from. A leader on national security, women, children issues... It's not about politics for Joe, it's in the gut.

The polls shouldn't lull us into a false sense of security [Laffy Note: hear hear!] You have to talk to your friends and neighbors. ... Vote for Barack and Joe and vote for yourselves!.. If they win Pennsylvania, there's no way they lose the White House! Here comes Joe... next thread.
