Is this what Biden will do in an Obama administration?

[jillan]

From the draft of the remarks at the DNC convention:

Domestic violence

Ending violence against women must be a top priority. We will create a special advisor to the president regarding violence against women. We will increase funding to domestic violence and sexual assault prevention programs. We will strengthen sexual assault and domestic violence laws, support the Violence Against Women Act, and provide job security to survivors. Our foreign policy will be sensitive to issues of aggression against women around the world.

1. Just one of many, many things.

He's got too much talent and knowledge not to affect a myriad of issues.

He needs to be Pres! :grr:

2. Interesting piece, P.

I think they may get some resistance to the Immigration statement, but gotta make it palatable to the Pubs.

The intelligence one is worrisome -- Doesn't say they will absolutely stop all the snooping and spying on Americans. :(

And as one person commented -- what about gay rights? But of course, there's the Pubs that have to be considered.

Man, I'm glad I'm not in politics. What did you think of the platform, such as it was?

3. No way. Give up SFRC and JC for State or VP, maybe, this, no. nt

Biden did a good job selling him on it's importance.
