Joe Biden has done more for America in the past week than all his rivals have done in their . . .

[Steve_in_California]

In the past week alone, Biden has done more for America than have all of his rivals over their entire careers!

In the past week alone:

1. Joe Biden demonstrates his skills as a statesmen, leader and problem solver by prompting the United States Senate to pass the Biden-Brownback-Boxer amendment by a vote of 75 to 23. This marks the first time since the Iraq war begin that a majority of Republicans abandoned the failed policies of the leader of their party, the President.

Could Hillary or Obama or John have pulled that off? Not on your life!

2. Joe Biden leads the senate to approve by unanimous consent his resolution calling for an investigation into the death of a political leader in Lebanon.

Could Hillary or Obama or John have pulled that off? Not on your life!


2. Joe Biden's amendment to the defense bill passes the Senate, requiring that $26 billion be spent on supplying our troops with the most up-to-date and effective vehicles against IED attacks, the MRAP's, which reduce casualties by 68 to 80%. You keep them safe while you work on bringing them home. It isn't an either/or situation. As an American President, you must do both.

Could Hillary or Obama or John have pulled that off? Not on your life!

3. Senators Joe Biden and Tom Carper (both of Delaware) lead the senate to approve their amendment to the water resources bill, causing the Senate to finally take some action to prevent catastrophic damage to our nation's port cities from natural disasters.

Could Hillary or Obama or John have pulled that off? Not on your life!

4. Senators Biden and Kennedy gain the unanimous consent of the Senate in approving their amendment top the defense bill requiring the Pentagon be held to account for the deaths and injuries of our servicemen and servicewomen serving in Iraq and Afghanistan by reporting to Congress what measures were taken to reduce the number of casualies and prevent needless deaths.

Could Hillary or Obama or John have pulled that off? Not on your life!

5. Senator Biden introduces legislation to Congress that calls for $2 billion to be devoted to reducing class size in America's schools by hiring 100,000 new teachers.

Did Hillary or Obama take such action to help America's schools? No!

6. The facts show that Joe Biden is the most effective leader this nation has seen in many generations. The guy never stops working. He does his job and still finds time to run a campaign that is moving ahead in the polls.

Senator Obama, on the other hand, makes speaches in which he says that he, and I quote, "is running against the way Washington conducts politics. Yeah, Barack, but the way you do it is by not showing up to do your job, having missed many critical votes in just the past week. That's going against the grain, all right.

Look at Biden's record--AND THAT'S JUST IN THE PAST WEEK!--and it will be easy to see why it is that Biden's supporters know--not merely believe . . . but know!--that Joe Biden is the best person for the job of leader of this country and the free world.

8. Good Post Steve!

Keeping people informed about what Biden's doing in the Senate is important. People need to see that he's actually DOING SOMETHING instead just talking like all of the other candidates. I hope all Democrats who are TRUE DEMOCRATS will see the truth and realize that Biden is indeed the most effective leader we could ever have in office since JFK. We need Biden. We need change. Biden will cross that bridge and unite our government and the country. He has that power and ability.
