Yes, it would be grand!

But, things are so much different now(Way WORSE!).. President Obama, VP Biden, and their Team did get us a brilliant recovery package, though, to lift us out of the abyss, that bush-cheney dumped us in!

And, we're gonna need another one of those!

onetexan!

Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, who took turns railing against Biden,

Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, who took turns railing against Biden, did not appear to have reaped significant gains from their performances either. Booker is still middling at 3 percent in the polls, and support for Harris continued to sit at 10 percent.

And sorry.. I have to say "Ha!" I'm sure they will continue to attack Joe Biden as long as he is the front runner.. but for now I'm happy to say it hasn't worked.

Thank You, highplains

POC on the whole aren't buying

what those candidates are implying.

In a recent Quinnipiac poll, 53 percent of Black Democratic primary voters said they supported Biden. This compares to 8 percent who back Sanders, 7 percent who say they’ll vote for Harris, and out of the remaining candidates, none received more than 5 percent of the tally.

So Appreciate This!.. Mahalo, Scurrilous!

Oh I see.. 36 hours.. that sounds

like a freak accident. That would be bad for me!

lol.. ".. that parsing minutia.. " is what I meant by grabbing onto anything to bring him down.. so serious.. like it's going to help anybody but Biden. So far it's had the opposite effect.

Which is greatly appreciated!

More good news is all the backlash I've seen so far from Democratic leaders who are telling that they don't think it's a good idea to go after President Obama. I would think that would help one candidate and that's Joe Biden.

Debate Backlash: Many Democrats Say Criticizing Obama's Legacy Isn't A Good Idea


“I think attacking President Obama is bad policy and bad politics,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said Thursday. Of Biden’s tenure as vice president, Blumenthal added: “He owns it, for better or worse. But he should be proud of it.”

Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois also suggested the Democratic race should be marked by a more hands-off approach toward Obama.

“You can disagree with him, and I have, but the bottom line is ... he did an extraordinary job, and he should be given that recognition by those that are running for the presidency.”

How long were you without power? A week ago Sunday we were without for 2 hours, and I was freaking a little because, the store in the beach town I took the bus to, was Closed.. my natural food store. But I survived!

Mahalo for your interesting analysis from the sitting car.. so many are determined to take down VP Biden they grabbed onto anything they could.. it was almost comical.

Thanks for the anecdotes, Peacetrain!

Here's more on that..

Donald Trump Is Burning the Constitution, and the Biggest Villain at the Democratic Debate Was… Barack Obama?!

I kept listening to all those attacks on Obama’s record on immigration and criminal justice and all the rest thinking about these people watching and probably wondering what was going on here. The Constitution is being torched. The house is burning to the ground. And the villain Wednesday night was Obama?
