1. I think so -- but maybe I heard it from him?

3. Of course;
Americans know that a college degree is a ticket to the middle class.

But they wonder whether Washington understands what it feels like for a father or mother to look in the eyes of their child knowing there is no way to pay to help them get there.

I understand because I remember. I remember my father's face as he was refused a bank loan to send me to college.

I understand, like many of you in this room, these struggles and aspirations of the American people.

Because they are ours.

They represent our values.

America's values.

And I will fight with every fiber in my being to keep America focused on the values that unite us, rather than the wedge issues used to divide us.

5. Well in one respect Joe was still there, wasn't he?
At least his "words" were. I swear, they sit around and watch Biden tapes. He should charge!!!

8. That was a super speech by Biden
He was ignored to death (death of his campaign). At least Edwards picked a good person to plagiarize! I definitely lean towards Edwards at this point. Since the media tries to ignore Edwards that tells me something about his sincerity. One can only hope since we lost a great candidate.

Thanks for posting it, trouble is it only reminds us "losers" of what we feel we lost, a great leader that had common sense plus book smarts.

6. It's the Moses Effect....
You lead unto the Promised Land, and you are able to see the Promised Land, but you may not enter therein. As long as Joe's legacy propels the future....

7. You know,
I think you're right. At least there are some among us who will give him credit.
