Joe Biden bidin' his time, on Obama's jet?

It's more likely that this flight carried a regular old commuter returning home from a long day of business in Chicago -- Netjets Aviation had another flight early Friday morning that departed New Castle, DE and landed in Chicago.

We wiil never know how many refusal Obama has had---

I like a fool stayed by my computer all day waiting for an e-mail from Obama. Tell him he lost my vote for playing all of us as fools.

The United States Secret Service has dispatched a protective detail to assume the immediate protection of Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., a source tells ABC News, indicating in all likelihood that Biden has been officially notified that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, has selected him to be his running mate.

Oh Georgy boy......I don't think he was really playing in your case.

Don't worry, George. All of you loyal Obots will get your text or email -- minutes before the VP nominee lands in Springfield, most likely. Did you honestly expect that you would get the message a day before the dog and pony show?

Joe, is a great pick if that is what happens. He is a real, likeable, smart, expert in foreign affairs..

ONE HOUSE, ONE SPOUSE --- OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!

Not a bad choice - he wants to add a bit of (badly needed) gravitas and he wants to make a pitch for the Catholic vote. If anyone is interested go to National Review Online (or Weekly Standard) and take a look at what Sen. Biden has said in the past in praise of Sen. McCain and NOT in praise of Sen. Obama.

So far the vaunted "Republican Attack Machine" has not had to get down - all they have to do is run ads of dems talking about each other.

Yes this election and parts of it have gone on way too long. HOWEVER, i dont like either guy and would love a do over. I hate the idea of not voting, but one of them is a absolute no and the other makes me sick to my stomach.

stop pouting george.

The Obama campaign played this one brilliantly. Now Barack shows up in Springfield and there is no time for the talking heads and pundits to parrot their spoon-fed republican talking points before the convention starts. Too darn bad if our "liberal" media was frustrated with waiting. We know the Rove playbook. And I for one am tired of their dirty tactics, and glad they did not have a chance to smear Barack's running mate before the convention started. A great offensive play by Obama, and he wins no matter who he selects.

Hey George, stop being so coy and come out from under your bridge.

You know I've got to be honest when I say this VP has got to be fantastic because anything less is a disappointment. The hype is overdone now.

So George...........Just cause he did not make his announcement today, and you, like an idiot, stayed by your computer all day, your not voting for him? My gosh grow up. I'm sure his top priority is not living up to some made up expectation you had of him. You have a tremendous ego problem. What are you 12 years old?

Why, as the hometown paper of barack obama, are you quoting AP and everybody else on this story. Gimme a break

The lack of original reporting will cause you to lose your job - for sure

Joe Biden is a GREAT choice! He has a terrific sense of humor, lots of experience, good sense, and will be a wonderful advice to Obama.

Outstanding choice!

Don't include 'us' in your foolery George.

So an aide to John McCain wakes him up on his plane early Saturday and says to him. We've got Obama-Biden sir. McCain says "That's just great I was wondering when we'd hear the news we got em". A reporter for the NY Times on the plane says "Senator McCain sir I think you misunderstood, your reply leads me to believe we captured Osama Bin Laden, what your aide was telling you is that Obama has picked Joe Biden for his VP on the democratic ticket." McCain says "Duh you moron I know the difference between Obama - Biden and Osama Bin Laden, what my aide was telling me is that finally Barak was announcing his decision. He was taking so long I took a nap and told my aide to wake me up when he stopped playing games and made his announcement.".

I'm sure our good friends in the MSM have already forgotten the Biden plagerism charges and how he had to drop out of the Dem primary a couple elections ago! We will not hear of this on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NYTimes, and definitely not on the Chicago Sun Times!

George is obviously a hack McCain puppet.

President Obama continues to lie about his record when he voted in favor of infanticide as an IL State Senator.

Sounding amazingly like " the vast right wing conspiracy " references Hillary made, he emphatically called the pro-life folks pointing out his record as liars. In fact, he's the liar and his campaign admitted as much this week trying to "correct" has statement. Here is the transcript from the IL state senate
http://www.ilga.gov/senate/transcripts/strans92/ST040402.pdf

see pages 31 to 34 for the record of President Obama's statements. He voted in favor of infanticide to protect physicians performing the abortions. His record stands. Thanks again to National Review for carrying the water on this issue.

All of those people that waited with batted breath, had better get a life. It will be soon enough when we find out, who Senator Obama has chosen to be his running-mate, on the ballot, in the general election, in November !! Maybe, a lot of people only wanted to know sooner, so they could take more cheap shots, at the Democratic ticket. Well, it will not do any good because the Democrats have something to offer that the Republicans can't, new ideas, presented honestly. The Bush-McCain Republicans will offer what they have been offering, misstatements, misleading statements and totally, fabricated statements and I know America has had it up to here, with their hypocrisy and incompetence.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

McCain should pick Lieberman.

That would certainly be a "maverick" move.

Encouraging to think that at least those two could break the two party separation and come together to do what is best for this country.

If the evangelicals stay home to protest...guess who's gonna win...Obama.

And do the evangelicals want Obama to be president?

There goes Obama adding to the carbon footprint with a private jet. Where's Al Gore and the oputrage?

A or B? Is Biden a good choice as Obama's running mate [VOTE] - http://www.thriveorfail.com/3df55

Savings and Loan Scandal
Here are some facts on the infamous S&L scandal of the eighties which we are still paying for.
The Savings and Loan scandal is the largest theft in the history of the world.
Deregulation eased restrictions so much that S&L owners could lend themselves money.
The Garn Institute of Finance, named after Senator Jake Garn, co-authored the deregulation of the industry and received $2.2 million from industry executives.
Neil Bush, George Bush's son, never servered time in jail for his part in running an S&L into the ground.
Represenative Fernard St. Germain, who was head of the House of Representatives banking, co-authored the deregulation and was voted out of office after other questionable dealings and was sent back to D.C. as an S&L lobbiest.
Charles Keating, when asked if massive lobbying efforts had influenced the government officials, he replies "I certainly hope so."
The rip-off began in 1980 when the government raised the federal insurance on S&L's from $40,000 to $100,000 even though the typical savings account was only around $6000.
Some of the seized assets were a buffalo sperm bank, a racehorse with syphilis, and a kitty litter mine.
James Fail invested $1000 of his own money to purchase 15 failing S&L's. The government reimbursed him $1.85 billion in federal subsidies.
It sometimes took over 7 years to close failing S&L's by the government.
When S&L owners who stole millions went to jail, their sentances were typically one-fifth that of the average bank robber.
The goverment bail out will cost the taxpayers around $1.4 trillion dollars when it is over.
If the White House had stepped in and bailed out the S&L's in 1986 instead of delaying until after the 1988 elections, the cost might have been only $20 billion.
With the money lost from the S&L scandals, the government could have provided prenatal care for every American child for the next 2,300 years.
With the money lost from the S&L scandals, the government could have purchased 5 million average homes.
The authors of "Inside Job", a book about the S&L scandal, found criminal activity at every S&L they investigated.
Facts were taken from"Inside Job" and "It's a Conspiracy! by the National Insecurity Council.
