Biden: Elect Obama because He’s Black
And so it has come to this. After 20 months of Barack Obama touting his “post-racial” candidacy, after 20 months of disingenuously attacking Republicans as racists for playing up his differences, after a brutal primary fight accusing his chief rival, Hillary Clinton, of race-baiting, here now comes Barack Obama’s running mate telling black voters to vote for Obama because He’s Black.
Must have taken all Joe Biden’s might not to point out that his running mate is also, you know, bright, clean, and articulate.
“Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden, campaigning in North Carolina where black votes could help swing the state to the Democrats, said today that electing a black person to the White House would be transformative.
Biden said the policies of running mate Barack Obama make his presidency even more urgent and declared this to be the most important election that any living person has seen in their lifetime. But he particularly singled out the meaning of electing someone who is black.
“That will be a transformative event in American politics and internationally,” Biden said. “That all by itself will be significant.”
“That all by itself” is all this ticket has going for it.

As predicted, vote for Obama or you are a racist. My response? Go to hell mister Biden. I don’t bow to PC blackmail like that. If you want me to vote for Obama then you had better try something much much much better than that.
Wow, Joe sure is subtle.
Is anyone surprised? Honestly?
Transforming America to a Marxist-socialist country. Significant.
It’s all they have. How sad is that?

I thought everyone on the Democrat side was already making that point.
I think all the hot chicks should date me because I’m knighted~
How is this not blatantly racist? I give up trying to understand this double-standard. I can’t wait for the landslide in November.
I don’t like the White half of Obama’s policies either!
Palin talks about breaking the glass ceiling. What’s the difference?
Geraldine was right all along.
About that white half…yeah, we won’t talk about it.
Are Oreo cookies their new presidential logo?
Obama must be kicking himself daily because he didn’t pick Hillary.
This has been a novelty campaign all along. The novelty is wearing thin.
You bet it will be, when our standard of living drops like a rock and we’re allowed to keep less and less of what we earn. That’s transformation you can believe in!!
What a loon…
Sorry to have to say it, but it is true. Biden actually admitted (consciously?) the truth.
With a resume as thin as Obama’s, the lack of accomplishments in the Senate, the frightening associations with racists and terrorists, and the inexplicable adulation (well, except for the whole bias thing), what other reason could there be? Even Biden is more qualified than Obama.
Look at the articles on how blacks are expected (taken for granted?) to vote for him. As Democrats, most would have voted for any Dem (although they get little for it) anyway, but now, you are an implied racist if you don’t, black or white.
If the Democrats wanted a black candidate to energize their campaign, couldn’t they have found one that has actually done something substantial? Community organizer? One crummy speech at the last DNC convention? Two elections that he “won” by default or deception? Recycled Carteresque economic policies? 138 “PRESENT” votes (is this judgment, or just gutless?).
His most significant qualification is being the most leftwing senator in existence!
Let’s face it, Obama is the affirmative action candidate, with all that implies. I said it, call me what you will, but the facts don’t lie.
And the Democrats have the utter gall to claim that Palin was picked solely because she is a woman, and liberal women keep popping up saying “we aren’t that stupid,” but they tacitly imply that blacks are by expecting their votes simply because they are black.
If I voted for McCain simply because he was white, I would justifiably be called a racist. Why is it a one way street?
If you are voting for Obama simply because he is black (or half black to be precise) then you are a racist, pure and simple.
Apparently, Biden didn’t get the memo.
Transforming my wallet from thin to invisible. This is no illusion, it will be significant.
What is it again about B.Hussein’s skin color that means he needs to be President or is uniquely qualified to be President?
“Vote for Obama… ’cause he’s black!”
Did I get that right Biden?
The only thing “transformative” about an Obama presidency is as b-cat said.
Obama, on Obama:
“And did I mention he’s black?”
Biden, on Obama:
“Vote for him because he’s black!”
Well, that settles it for me. I didn’t realize he was a person of color.
Now I just have to vote for him!
By the way, did y’all hear that John Kerry was in Vietnam?
Every time the question of race is brought up, it’s the black guy doing the raising(even if by proxy).
As for joe biden;
“WE’RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BUS”
Which only goes to prove right what I heard Rush Limbaugh say many years ago, that this nation’s first female and minority presidents will be conservative Republicans.
What’s the big surprise??? When 90% of the BLACK VOTERS already have said they are voting for B.HUSSEIN because he is BLACK… Never been a secret, that GUILTY WHITE LIBS are voting for him because he is BLACK… This becomes apparent when you ask any of them, “name one thing OBAMA has accomplished either a a STATE SENATOR, or a US SENATOR?” The silence is deafening, as always…
This is what they’ve been saying all along; in different ways, of course.
There will be drama.
I don’t think that I’m ‘talking out of school’ here, but isn’t Sen. Obama an Arab-American, and not an African-American? Why does everyone keep thinking that he’s African-American?
Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father’s birth certificate even states he’s Arab, not African Negro)
The difference is that Palin has a record as a reformer, waste-cutter, good steward of the public’s resources.
Obama has only the race card. He’s hiding behind it to disguise the horrendous havoc that would ensue if he were elected President. But at least some libs could sleep well at night, knowing that they weren’t “racist” b/c they voted for him.
I will openly admit my bias:
I don’t like Marxists.
Funny thing is are you really “black” when you’re 95% white and arabic?
(zzzzZZZZzz snork!) Wha? He’s black!? How come nobody told me!?
I’ll be very excited to vote for a black President or a President of any other race who shares my views and that of most of America as to what is good for this country.
How bout’ because Obambi is a better dancer? Makes more sense to me.
Biden has said lots stupid things and done lots of foolish things. I notice that nobody in the MSM will ask Biden about a New York Times article on Jan 23, 1982 and another on Jan. 24, 1982. Those articles describe how Biden verbally blasted Prime Minister Begin and lectured Begin about Begin’s moral failings. According to the articles, Biden was demanding of Begin: “Look aound this room and tell me if Israel has many friends….” Biden’s treatment of a foreign head of state who was deomocratically elected was so obnoxious that Daniel Patrick Moynihan congratulated Begin on responding forcefully to Biden. Can anyone imagine the MSM spiking a new story about Sarah Palin lecturing and bullying a foreign head of state? Charlie Gibson would be apoplectic if Governor Palin did such a thing.
I’ve said it before and it still rings true. This is no longer about democracy. It’s about a government takeover at any cost by socialists party. They will say and do anything to win and if they do God help us. Race, sex, religion and everything inbetween will be used to take over our government and if it means inciting a race war so be it. The socialist liberal democrats will not stop until they have all the power or the country is left in ashes. They will take either.
This whole approach is highly disturbing. The Obama campaign is planting the divisive notion that an Obama loss will be the direct result of racism.
These tactics remind me of the elections in Kenya and other third world countries where “liberation theology” has a strong foothold. The losing party reaps the seeds of hatred sewn during the campaign in an effort to foment violent protest in the event of a loss. That violent protest is then used as a catalyst to extract a “power sharing” arrangement with the prevailing party.
Up until recently, I had dismissed the whispered concerns regarding the social upheaval associated with an Obama loss. With Obama’s continued injection of race into this election, perhaps those concerns should not be taken lightly.
Conservatives choose to judge a person by the content of their character and not the color of their skin (someone famous had a dream about that once). It appears as if the Democrats have gotten that mixed up a bit. Let’s see — the character of McCain versus the character of Obama – judged and decided.
I thought Obama had vanilla too.
He’s mixed……..up.
I’ve noticed that Obama is truning a bit green latly – green with envy over the Palin pick and green around the gills every time he looks at his sinking polls.
It’s not JUST because he’s black (which is pretty magical). Down here in Texas, we need him to get elected because he will roll back the oceans. Don’t you see, Black Jesus will HEAL THE PLANET!
What do you Karl Rove loving, misogynist, homophobic, gun-toting, bitter as lemons Bible squeezing religion clingers not get about the Mess-iah?
Can you imagine what he could do if he didn’t have any Kansas-bred white cracker blood running through his beautiful half-black veins?
Unless you are trying to court the white union vote in PA
I would really like very badly to see Joe say to vote for Barry because he is black. But for me I am not seeing it yet.
Does anybody know what was said before the quote: “That will be a transformative event in American politics and internationally,” Biden said. “That all by itself will be significant.”
The article said that Biden did single out someone who is black. But what was the quote from Biden that did that?
Again I would love for this story to be true, I feel like there is just a very minor bit missing.
With all due respect to everyone on this thread, I agree with Biden. What other reason could there possibly be to vote for him other than he is black? He doesn’t actually stand for anything, can’t prove he has actually done anything, and doesn’t have any real issues he can explain that anyone would actually try to sell.
Joe Biden:
“Vote for America’s greatest best hope for change. Yes, folks…we hope you don’t look into his past, because he has changed the details of that past. The facade is not what’s important, it’s the person behind that facade. He will change America, the way he has changed the details of his past…with words…just, words. Your choice is clear my fellow comrades. Vote for Bu-lack Obama, er, Barack Osama, er, vote the Demonocratic ticket come November.”
/sarc
OK, Fine fine fine. I’m a racist if I don’t vote for Obama. I can’t believe people buy in to all that crap.
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!!
Obama’s black? Thank God Biden told us.
Here is another nice link Michelle can run with TIP: Obama tries to halt troop withdrawal, while still campaigning to withdraw troops.

STAND UP FOR CHUCK, I MEAN BARACK, WHAT WAS I THINKING, HE’S ARTICULATE AND CLEAN AND NOT A PARAPLEGIC BUT HE IS BLACK, WELL SORTA, HE LOOKS BLACK, KINDA EXCEPT FOR HIS FEATURES AND THAT FUNNY NAME, BUT HEY YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, AND AFTER ALL I’M JUST PLAGIARISING SOME OTHER BLOGGERS THOUGHTS.
The interesting thing is this kind of stuff just does NOT work in a general election. Uber White libs in Chicago and in the democrat primaries do no represent the majority of
WhiteAmerica. The more they try this the worse the defeat will be.The cliche goes that patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. But for American Liberals, racism is always the first refuge. It’s their Unified Field Theory of Everything. They can’t get enough of it, they can never get beyond it. A nation transformed beyond racism would be hell on earth for them. So as much as they call for it, they will, they must, do everything in their enormous power to prevent it.
It’s been forty years. You would think the American people would see the game for what it is. Maybe come November they will but don’t get your hopes up.
Is there any truth to the rumor he’s changing his name to Balack Obama?
Let us not forget the wisdom of Ray Nagin, Gayle.
“Do you know anything about chocolate? How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That’s the chocolate I’m talking about.”
Errrr….on second thought, let’s do forget it.
Don’t forget hatred, Michelle. Lots and lots of hatred. That alone will drive many donkeys to the polls.

As for people who haven’t already sold their souls to the New Messiah, over on the Powerline blog they make a good observation that much of Hopenchange’s appeal relies on the “bandwagon effect.” That is, many who are inclined to vote for him are probably influenced by the until-recent conventional wisdom that he’s already the President-In-Waiting.
If the same people come to think he’s toast, the “why bother” effect will probably keep many of them home.
How can humans be so intelligent and so dumb at the same time?
Anyone still wondering why the aliens won’t stay to visit?
If Biden truly believes this talking point, then it’s funny how he remained silent in his support of a black man running for US President when Alan Keyes was the man.
JT, I’d suggest using the link button above the comment box to insert a hyperlink in a comment in a short, neat fashion. Long addresses tend to run way off the side of the page. If it goes too far off to the right, a link can cause a whole page to scroll sideways on some folk’s screens.
I want to know why he isn’t an American?
I don’t care if he is green, I want my president to be an American!!
I remember hearing his speech at the ‘04
convention and telling my mom, “this guy is going to run for president.”
I was even kind of excited about it. Even as late as Feb. I thought that his campaign was exciting and thought I might even be able to vote for him.
Of course, the truth has come out since then and there’s no way in hell I would vote for him. But, the truth is, at first I was jazzed that this black guy could be elected. I thought it would be good for us.
I am disappointed he turned out to be so bad. I am disappointed because if he loses, the press and the dems will say it is because he is black and not because he is a shallow, weak, angry socialist.
LOVE IT!!!
I think we should definitely choose who we vote for based on ethnic and racial factors. I mean, it’s worked out great for the Balkans, right?
Uh, uh, Joe, uh, we’ve already had the OJ Jury once. We don’t need it again.
Jvette-
If bo loses, the media will immediately cry racism and yet look how the media has treated Madame Condolessa Rice and Justice Clarence Thomas over the years.
Its racism only if the candiate is a liberal or socialist. Its a defect in the candiate’s policy position if they are a conservative.

McCain/Pailin ‘08
Looks like a WashingtonPost columnist got the same memo:
Sure his “mother” said that…
Biden is speaking right now in Michigan boo hooing because McCain voted against raising the minimum wage multiple times…. as if that’s a bad thing…. add this to the race thing…. it’s going to be fun watching this ticket implode.
The REAL racists in this country are the democrats – they are the first to notice a person’s skin color. Dick Armey is the first politician that has the guts to be right about race, with his comments in USA Today about the ‘bubba’ vote. Many democrats will not vote for BHO because he is black.
Suggestion for a new McCain ad:
Biden: “Vote for Barack because he’s black.”
Palin: “Vote for John because he’s a war hero.”
McCain: “Vote for Sarah because she’s a woman.”
Obama: “Vote for Joe because he’s … because he’s … ooops.
I caught a glimpse of Brokaw on Meet The Press over the weekend.
He of course could not stop himself from asking (I’m paraphrasing): “And what can Obama do about those people who will not vote for him simply because he’s black?”
Not a peep, of course, about those people who will vote for Obama only because he’s black.
Nor, of course, was there any mention that Obama is not “black” (he is, of course, mulato; no more black than white).
I’m still waiting for anyone in the Left-O-Fascist media to get that fact straight.
Check out the “authentic” BHO birth certificate at “factcheck.org”…the brain trust at Annenberg can now assure us that Barry’s a US citizen. Questions about his birth name…all answered! Well, except that the certificate we’re all able to see is a recent re-issue; check out a big picture of the entire document, in the lower left corner is the document type, which notes “laser” (quite new) and says “copy” on the other side. Is anyone familiar with processes for amending birth documents in Hawaii? I’m betting some changes have led to what we’re seeing now.
You’d think the enthusiastic (to say the least) response to Palin would have put to rest this tired old “GOP voters are racist / sexist” nonsense.
We don’t care about race and gender. Bill Clinton is a white man and we can’t stand him, Clarence Thomas is a black man and we love him. Joe Biden is a white man and we loathe him, Sarah Palin a white woman and we love her.
Principles and positions. That’s all we care about.
The dems have just declared these words/terms racist (when used by a conservative) and would appreciate everyone (just conservatives) striking them from their vocabulary in lieu of fines and/or imprisonment:
community organizer
uppity
Islam/Muslim
incompetent
surrender monkey
niggardly
chit-lins
unqualified
experience
resume
Republican
chicken
pro-life
arrogant
desperate
sexism
pro-gun
disagree
unpatriotic
empty suit
logic
knowledge of history
economics
the number forty, or “FO-TEE”
communist
There will be additional updates. Plan accordingly.
When are we southern rednecks going to have a candiate WE can vote for?
JUST keep talkin JOE the more he speaks the more rednecks like me will be sure and vote mccain\palin!!!!!!
To quote Michelle, “Snort!”
I smell desperation. And while the smell is sweet, we must remain vigilant. That electoral state map Rove keeps lighting up on Fox makes me nervous. We must continue to work hard against these moonbats because unfortunately approximately 45 million people in this country are buying what Joe Gaffetastic is saying, or will vote for him just because the letter “D” follows his name. Amazing!
So let me get this straight, his executive experience is that he is running for president AND his best quality is he is black?
Just say NO to Negrodamous/Biden ‘08
Bidet is so starved for attention from being left out in the cold after odopeys poor speech with those greek columns and the pick of Gov. Sarah Palin that he will say anything.
This statiment was really ad libed he meant to say…
“Vote form Obama, He’s really the tooth Fairy!!”
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!

My sister was giving me the same line. About how we had to elect Obama because it would lead to racial reconciliation and be transformative to how we are seen in the World, etc, etc.
I asked her who she backed in the primaries. She backed Hillary.
I guess only Republicans are expected to pitch all other considerations out the window to vote for an Affirmative Action President.
First of all Obama as others have pointed out is not Black. If being black was not an advantage he would not be calling himself black. Instead he would be saying that he is biracial (and actually help resolve the racial divide).
Its these 375 paid staff members that concerns me. Patronage is the fuel that makes the Chicago Democratic Machine operate. How many of these people are promised federal jobs if Obama wins? How many get those plum “green jobs”? If we don’t see this scam coming, we deserve what we get.
These patronage jobs have one task. Get more votes for the Democratic candidate.
Race-based political pandering and Democrats. Who knew? /sarcoff
I hope I live to see the first black president in this country and I hope and pray he or she is a REPUBLICAN!
Sounds like maybe Joe is trying out a reason for BHO to dump him for the Hildebeast.
What’s next Joe, asking if McCain ever shined shoes? Suggesting fried chicken and turnip greens be served at Dem parties? Oh, maybe having the MSM over to your house to see the watermelon patch you just planted? Keep talking Joe. Eventually, you will chew through those shoes and bite your own toes.
Will the day ever come when minorities ever have enough of the Dems? Let us pray!
Biden = Tool.
nyk? mistressjustice?
Must be a proud moment for African Americans?
I reckon us dumb hicks in middle America must be racist for not wanting to vote for someone because of what he looks like and because his mentors are racist and anti-american.
nyk, misstressjustice, folks like you must be the way for us stupid white hicks, because you’re black!
I don’t understand why the Obama / Biden campaign plays the “black” card–they already have over 90% of this group voting for their candidate. They need to appeal to the 10% of undecided voters to tip the electoral college vote in their favor. I don’t think they understand the math–they keep shooting themselves in the feet.
As far as white presidents and white candidates being “black”–we already saw what the black voters thought about that approach–it worked so well for Hillary in the primary!
If white people voted like the black people are–it would be 80% for McCain / Palin in the general election. Draw your own conclusions as to who the racists are–they come in all color, ethnic, and national groups.
John Bibb
When I first read this, I thought it said “memoirs.” Leads to the same point, though.
The truth may hurt, but it is still the truth; The real bonafied racists in this country are the large majority of the 95% of black folks that will vote for Obama simply because he is black; All this, in spite of Rev. Jackson admitting to his aversion to “mixed nuts”.
And if you’re not black but a complete doofus, you can vote for Biden in a show of solidarity…
I would say that the Democrats treat them like children. Can you imagine the nerve of the liberal white male Biden, telling African Americans who to vote for. If that is not blatant racism, I don’t know what is. He is telling them to turn off whatever thoughts that run through there heads and act strictly because of race. WOW!
I wouldnt mind seeing a black person as president – just not the one that’s running. Socialism and Marxism does not know any color.
I have a good friend who is black, Christian, conservative politically and theologically, and as far as I know, without a racist bone in his body. He’s all for Obama because of Obama’s color. He’s willing to put aside Obama’s taste for infanticide and vote for him.
I’ll continue to pray for him.
I’ve always believed that at its core liberalism is racist.
And one other thing – if Slo-Jo goes out and attacks Gov Palin, it will backfire on Obamacus Barackus.
If McCain loses, Conservatives will grumble and Liberals will taunt.
If McCain wins, Conservatives will grumble and Liberals will riot.
As long as it will make people around the world like us, that’s good enough for me. We Americans have prejudices and believe in stereotypes, we are so screwed up, we can go far helping ourselves with the example of the election of a black prez. We can open our eyes, we can turn away from bigotry towards Christian love. And best of all, we can show the rest of the world we’re not bigots. Let’s wash the stain of bigotry from this country by electing Obama in 2008. Well, *I’m* not a bigot. It’s all the stupid people who are bigots. You know, rich greedy whites, rednecks, and even oreos like Clarence Thomas. Maybe if we elect Obama they’ll finally change their ways. If only everyone else wasn’t so bigoted. They should be more like me.
I somehow forgot Christians are bigots too. Sorry. Really messed that up.
Joe is the tip of the racial/racist iceberg.
An article below the fold in today’s St. Petersburg Times entitled
tells it all. From how ‘whites’ voted in the last few electrions to how whites will be voting this time.
Funny thing is, I don’t remember pulling a lever marked ‘White’ when I last voted. I didn’t see one for ‘Black’, ‘Brown’, ‘Hispanic’, ‘Oriental’, ‘Female’, ‘Gay’, ‘Straight’, or ‘Election Chad impaired’ – so how do we really know what ‘color’ voted for whom?
This article goes on for several hundred words full of conjecture and little substance. This is the tip of the iceberg – trying to guilt non-black voters into voting for Obama to asuage their perceived racist ways.
That’s at least twice he’s done that. Between this statement and his “Hillary might have been a better choice” comment his honesty is astounding.
I really can not believe he said that. This is racism, pure and simple by democrats.
