Despite canceling an appearance at a Labor Day parade so he could focus his attention on Hurricane Gustav developments rather than campaign politics, Joe Biden criticized John McCain Monday for his positions on energy, taxes, and foreign policy.
“The only guy in America in a position of some authority who is out of sync with the whole rest of the world is John McCain,” the Democratic vice presidential candidate said at a cookout and economic roundtable outside his childhood home in Scranton, Pa.
The McCain campaign swiftly issued a response to Biden’s remarks, saying, “While John McCain has called upon Americans to serve and assist our fellow citizens in the Gulf states, Barack Obama’s own running mate, Joe Biden, clearly has no limits when it comes to political attacks.
Either Barack Obama’s claims of bipartisanship are empty or he is unable to control his running mate,” said Ben Porritt, a McCain spokesman.
Earlier in the day, Biden skipped out on a planned appearance at Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh, Pa., saying, “I think it’s totally appropriate that elected officials march here in Pennsylvania, but it shouldn’t be a day for national politics,”he said.
Gustav, a Category 2 storm, slammed the Louisiana coast Monday. Hurricane Katrina was a Category 3 storm when it hit the Gulf Coast three years ago, heavily damaging 90,000 square miles of property and costing billions of dollars.
Joined on the rope line by Gov. Ed Rendell and Sen. Bob Casey, Biden said, “It’s good to be home,” adding that Scranton always lives in his heart.
“Ladies and gentlemen the fact of the matter is, it is no malarkey. You can’t have lived here without taking part of Scranton — it occupies your heart, It never leaves,” he said.
As Biden was explaining the need to switch focus from campaign politics to hurricane victims, the Delaware senator misspoke — saying he was running for president rather than vice president.
“I will be back, I’ll be back to campaign in earnest, but today is not the moment for me to campaign,” he said. “Today is the moment for me as a United States senator running for president to put aside the national politics and focus on what’s happening down there.”
Can someone tell me who the fuck is running for president for the democrats?
Till next time
