Biden says ad mocking McCain is 'terrible'


WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama's running mate says a campaign ad that mocked Republican presidential candidate John McCain as an out-of-touch, out-of-date computer illiterate was "terrible" and would not have been done had he known about it. (snip)
It included unflattering footage of Sen. McCain at a hearing in the early '80s, wearing giant glasses and an out-of-style suit, interspersed with shots of a disco ball, a clunky phone, an outdated computer and a Rubik's Cube.
"He admits he still doesn't know how to use a computer, can't send an e-mail, still doesn't understand the economy, and favors $200 billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class," the ad says.
(snip)
"I thought that was terrible, by the way," Biden said.



Ok what’s going on here?

Biden speaking out against his own campaign? Has he gone completely out of his tree? (And over something that, well, just happens to be true?)

This is getting crazier by the minute.

They’ve got to be kidding.

If it isn’t a beauty queen from the Great White North - It's a running mate who bad mouths his own campaign, and NEITHER inspire faith, security, or hope for the USA.

If anything makes me *see the light* that there will be NO election, this does!




...Ron Paul where are you!...

it should be noted that politics is all very well researched and scripted so whatever it is that Biden is trying to do by knocking his running mate will, eventually come out.


Yes, you've got a great point there.
Still, I believe it's going to be hard for him to dig himself out of this.
He is continually stumbling over his tongue - in a most negative way - for his own campaign.
And if my first reaction is negative, I'm sure I wont be the only one - I wish I was don't get me wrong.

I really don't like the no holds barred style of campaigning that politicians seem to be using these days.


Oh I agree 100%, and, in a back door kind of way I applaud him.
But not when he just blurts it all out to the press.
(Most) People just don’t understand honor these days, as pitiful as that sounds it’s true.
Some time ago in the history of the USA - his remark, though detrimental to his own campaign, would have been seen as the *right thing to do* - an act of a an *honorable man*.
These days?
Well, it just makes him look rather idiotic.




...oh bother...

I don't understand why everyone thinks that Obama and Biden have to agree 100% on everything, including opinions.


I've no problem with them disagreeing, that’s only natural.
To air it publicly, now, when there is such a need for a STRONG alliance between the two - for the campaigns sake?
If they disagree - work it out behind the scenes - like any *marriage*.
You need to show the world a united and strong force, team.
Not a squabbling *Well I don't agree with you on that and it wouldn't have happened if *I* would have known about it*.
It also looks pretty damn lame that he's pointing the finger after the fact.
He should KNOW what's going on, every step that campaign takes.
Isn't that the job of the Vice President anyway?
To take care of the details the President doesn't have time to?
And yes, it is all in the details.
