From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli
DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. -- Biden offered a vigorous defense of Barack Obama's credibility when it comes to Israel, saying he would not have accepted his invitation to join the ticket if they were not on the same page.

“I want to remind those of you … who don't know me and those of you who do know me what my record has been. It has been unstinting in the defense and support of Israel,” he said at a community center, having discussed at length his travels there and work as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “I give you my word as a Biden, I would not have given up that job to be Barack Obama's vice president if I didn't -- in my gut, and in my heart, and in my head -- know that Barack Obama is exactly where I am on Israel.”

He also asked them to ignore “scurrilous” rumors on the Internet about Obama's views, and contrasted what he said would be a strong, pro-Israel Obama-Biden administration with a Bush administration he said has made the nation weaker.

“By any objective fact, Israel is less secure today in the world than it was eight years ago,” he said. “I promise you. I promise you. We will make it more secure. … The stronger America is, the greater America's influence, the stronger Israel is, because we are, in fact, her best last chance for anything.”

Obama and Biden make a great team. They have Chemistry.

McCain and Palin don't even know on another. They look uncomfortable standing next to each other.

Who do you think is going to inspire the confidence of the American People?

1. Did you catch the 60 minutes interview?

I like this team even better after watching that. Obama said he was looking for someone to challenge him when making decisions. This is the complete opposite of this administration where loyalty is key and you dare cross the president on anything.

Obama did a great job in selecting a strong and competent VP. This is the best selection since Clinton's selection of Al Gore.

4. That was a great event -- the video was posted here.

I think Joe was very well received, and as always, praised Obama's policies.
