I have to say it would appear to me that the longer Biden is on the campaign trail, the easier he makes John McCains job...

He has to be the King of gaffs...

This thread is for Biden gaffs, I think you might want to start a thread on McCain gaffs. Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_11

But in comparison, not knowing something versus making up complete fabrication are two different things... I think fabrication of events is worse IMO. The funniest part about it is what he says just prior to opening his mouth. And I quote

"Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence, is demonstrate that he or she knows what they're talking about and to communicates to people."

FDR didn't talk about princes of greed???

Okay, maybe he never used that particular phrase. (Although FDR did often refer to the "forces of organized greed.") But here's what he did say - and not just in a throwaway line, but in the most important speech of the 1936 campaign, in Madison Square Gardens on the Saturday night before the Tuesday vote, a speech broadcast to the whole nation as a final summary and mobilization:

For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up.

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.

They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.

Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.

I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master.

To be clear: I think it's a grand thing that today's Democrats choose to forget that the great icon of their party used to talk in such a reckless, dangerous, and incendiary way. I think it's grand that Biden prefers to think of FDR as a prefiguration of Robert Rubin. I prefer Rubin too!

But this weird lapse of memory on the part of Biden should remind us: It's not only Sarah Palin who could blow herself up in the vice presidential debate. Probably no politician in national life is more prone to saying ignorant, foolish, or generally embarrassing things than Joe Biden.

I think it's interesting how you're criticizing Biden's "blunders" while McCain can't even think to ask a repeat of a question, what with all of his experience. Nobody ever said it was good experience either.
