Biden meets with firefighters, guardsmen

Posted: Thursday, August 28, 2008 2:51 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli
DENVER -- Joe Biden today again called John McCain a hero, but said that he disagrees with his “good friend” over the way forward in Iraq.

“He’s a real hero,” the Delaware senator told members of National Guard units stationed outside of Invesco Field. “We’re going to have our disagreements, we’re going to have our disagreements on policy. The one thing that we kind of disagree on, that is, what do we do now for you to be able to do the job we’re asking you to do.”

He praised the work of guardsmen who have encountered more in recent years than the probably bargained for, saying, “This isn’t your father’s National Guard.” He also noted that his own son, Beau, is going to be deployed to Iraq soon, and asked the group to keep an eye out for him if they returned.

“He’ll keep an eye out for you guys,” he added. “Keep the faith, go get ‘em.”

Biden also spoke to a group of firefighters at the site, talking about his great personal affection for the bravest who helped save the lives of his two sons, and his own when he suffered an aneurism.

“Look us over,” he urged the group. “If you don’t like what we’re doing, pick up the phone and holler at my campaign.”

Biden spent about 15 minutes meeting with the two groups, shaking hands and posing for pictures as well. As one guardsman asked for a photo, he gladly obliged.

“If I had your hair I’d be president, you know what I mean?” he told him. “I wouldn’t be screwing around with this job.”

McCain Adviser: There Are No Uninsured Americans

Texas once again led the nation with the highest percentage of residents without health insurance, a U.S. Census Bureau report showed Tuesday, although the same study also reports a slight dip last year in the percentage without coverage across the nation.

...

But the numbers are misleading, said John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a right-leaning Dallas-based think tank. Mr. Goodman, who helped craft Sen. John McCain's health care policy, said anyone with access to an emergency room effectively has insurance, albeit the government acts as the payer of last resort. (Hospital emergency rooms by law cannot turn away a patient in need of immediate care.)

"So I have a solution. And it will cost not one thin dime," Mr. Goodman said. "The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American - even illegal aliens - as uninsured. Instead, the bureau should categorize people according to the likely source of payment

Candidate McCain of 2008 bears absolutely NO resembelence to Senator McCain of 2000. Its pathetic. I just can't respect someone who having been treated they way he has treat someone else the same way. Its disgusting and it hardly makes him a man of honor.

What a true disgrace McCain and his campaign are. This is NO JOKING MATTER. The American people are being hit hard right now when it comes to medical insurance and McCain and his campaigns answer is the 'Emergency Room'. I guess McCain'ts answer for the hungry is the 'Food Shelter'. I guess McCain's answer for high gas prices is 'walk'. I guess McCain'ts answer for our poor educational system is 'just read more'.

I guess McCain'ts answer for not knowing how to solve the problems America faces is the fact that he was a POW. I'm sorry Mr. McCain, but that’s not good enough. America needs more than a good soldier, America needs a wise leader and that person is Barack Obama.

We can spend $10 Billion a month on a war, but our nations health its people and the issues we face-- is no big deal, it’s just 'mental'. At least that's what John McCain thinks.

Joe Biden has the ear of the common people because he's one of us, unlike "Elitist" McCain and his rich and greedy elitist base. Only Obama and Biden will protect and serve the middle and poor classes, the same people that the repugnant ones have been at war with for almost 30 years.

So funny how jealous the repugnant ones are that we have such great candidates running for every political office from top to bottom. They can only try to villify Obama about such petty things as being a rock star or trying to act godlike by speaking on a stage with Greek columns on it. Hypocritical on the last point since "Tyrant" Bush had a similar setting 4 years ago. I mean what better symbol of democracy is there other than a Greek style column? Barack is not trying to look godlike, he's just trying to show he believes in democracy.

Why do the repugnant ones hate democracy so much? Only Obama/Biden will protect our secular democracy from those who are trying to destroy it.

The Dems need to stop giving McCain too much credit. They DO need to attack his character, and drag him through the mud. Harry Reid said today that he "can't stand McCain" and that he lacks the temperament to be President. That's exactly what we need.

McCain doesn't deserve all that respect. Otherwise every time they tear him down a little bit, they give him a safety net by calling him a hero...
-------

I don't necessarilly take it as praise and respect - I think that by saying those words, they're actually shaming McCain - because he's not the maverick of 2000 any longer, he's the sidekick of 2008. He's no more a hero than any of our other soldiers past and present. He's not a god, and he's obviously not a very good pilot. Besides, that was 40 years ago, he's had plenty of time to make good, and has he? Depends on who's asking. Why does he think he's a change agent? He's had 25+ years, with little to show for it - I know....but, but....I'm a pow. Yeah, and if my aunt had a hooter she'd be my uncle. thats neither here nor there for me. That was then this is now - what are you going to do for us now. McCain doesn't want to relay infor on his policy positions - all he does is attack Obama. Sorry, my vote is too important this year - either start dealin' with the issues, or kiss my vote goodbye.

'Clueless Joe'-- The Demcratic ticket understands perfectly well that the "War on Terror" is not over. Senator Obama has been saying for years that we needed to be fighting the war on terror in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the perpetrators of 9/11 holed up.

You folks just don't seem to understand that Iraq was never a part of the war on terror until after the U.S invaded and set the stage for foreign and domestic terrorists in Iraq to have a field day! Muslim extremists could not have asked for a better training ground and opportunities for recruiting and fund-raising. The Bush/Chaney/McCain attack on Iraq has set us behind at least five years in the war on terror.

Your answer tells one a little about the differences between the Republicans and Dems dosn't it? Did you eve wonder why it is that no matter who raises the desire for cooperation and non-partisanship the Republicans always seem to immediately attack that person as weak or out of touch. Perhaps they are right in one regard. Such a person is not in touch or persuaded with the Republican's desire for divisiveness that they use to conquer and control the masses.

I’ve been “sadly mistaken” about a few things in my life, but NEVER about one thing. And that is the level of your intelligence, wisdom, integrity, and just plain humanity. Everyone here could learn a lot by paying careful attention to your posts – not just about politics, but about life. Your own personal serenity is the best testament I know of to a life well-realized.

It seems to me that we had this discussion once before, in a similar context. McCain has always sought the presidency just for the sake of being president. In an unguarded moment, not that long ago, he actually said so. Obama, on the other hand, seeks the presidency as just a part of his larger journey toward self-actualization, where the presidency is not the goal but only a means of helping others reach their own fulfillment. He makes himself the vehicle, as you say, and carries the American people toward the water. Whether we reach the water or drink from it then becomes up to us.

In terms of “judgments,” from your other post (9:59 a.m.), you clearly got the best of those. I cannot thank you enough for being my friend. Dedicating your post to me means more than I can say. Bless you.
