Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: The Debate From a Slightly Different Perspective [View all]Cha
(297,728 posts)20. 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 Bidens 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.

Yeah.. even though I "watched it" (heavy on the multi-tasking), your impressions are consistent
