Biden slams McCain and Cheney in accepting vice presidential nomination

[ck4829]

Joe Biden accepted the Democratic vice presidential nomination Wednesday night and declared that the challenges America faces require "more than a good soldier" in the White House, hailing Barack Obama as a wise leader who can deliver the change the nation needs.

In a single sentence, Obama's new running mate complimented John McCain's years of military service and slapped his claim on the White House.

As Biden concluded his speech accepting the nomination, Obama stepped on stage and embraced his man to a convention roar.

In his speech, Biden also sniped at Vice President Dick Cheney, saying that after he takes over the job, for Americans trying to do the right thing and honor the Constitution, "no longer will the eight most dreaded words in the English language be 'The vice president's office is on the phone.'"

1. I loved that line. Smacked Cheney and the Ray-gun at the same time. nt
