There are a couple of lawsuits against him, but everyone sounds a bit shady in those deals so I’m not taking sides, but this was interesting:

His son, Hunter Biden, was hired as a management trainee at MBNA straight out of law school, and was quickly promoted to executive vice president. The younger Biden has since left MBNA to establish his own lawyer-and-lobbying firm, but still receives a $100,000 per year consulting fee from the bank, which has since been swallowed by Bank of America.

As it turns out, MBNA is Senator Biden’s biggest contributor.

Who wouldn’t love to have a $100,000 a year “consulting” job working for a defunct bank? What does he do for them exactly?

This is now.

Biden was defeated by Michael Dukakis for the nomination in 1988! LMAO!

Heh. I wonder if Barry’s wonder team vetted him tht far back. Maybe they didn’t know. What a great ad that would make.

Hope, Change and Unity went under the bus before they were conceived as the biggest lie of this century, by the Obama illusion.

So much hot air there never was, and isn’t likely to ever be again, in such a compressed timeframe.

It’s becoming apparent that the Dems prefer their status as the ‘loyal opposition’, tossing rotten tomatoes at the Republicans from their lofty moral high ground. The pay is the same, without all of the headaches that come with the White House. They’ve had Congress for two years and don’t like having to answer for their lack of deliverables.
Besides, Obama losing in a landslide will be further evidence (to Dems) that we are a racist country, that we’ve slipped back instead of moving forward, that America is still on the wrong track. From my point of view, an Obama disaster on Nov 4th will show that we have moved beyond race, and refuse to elect an idiot just because other idiots were gullible enough to vote for him.
By the bye-MY America has had a great economy for the last eight years! How about yours?

Change you can count on.

First, taking money from lobbyists is only bad if your a Republican.

and

B.) I have mentioned in several threads now that Obama wants to lose. I think it is going to cause a huge amount of strife and that he will gain in finances and in stature, which has been his goal And then Soros will take advantage of the discontent to get more than a foothold in the economy.

Truthers have nothing on me. And I did the first/b thing on purpose.

If anything, since Slo Jo Biden is such a droning gasbag, it will emphasize Obama can’t think on his feet … Bad choice. A northern way left liberal isn’t going to help much in the south.

The South was lost the moment it was clear Obamabi Obambi was their nominee (that assumes Rove isn’t right this very moment plotting Hillary’s convention resurrection). And Obamabi’s Obambi’s skin color isn’t his problem in the South–it’s who he associates with and what he believes.
