JOE BIDEN'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH FOR THE DEMOCRATIC VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION............
Vice President Joe Biden has taken the podium at the DNC, to the song, Higher and Higher. He begins, Hello My Fellow Democrats. And to his favorite Democrat, Jilly, he makes an extended thanks to on behalf of him and his children. Her calls her the love of his life, and the life of his love. He thanks his son Beau for putting his name in nomination, and says, I Accept...... He says we are on a mission we will complete. And he begins telling them about his friend Barack Obama. Saying he wants to show them the character of a leader. Chronicles the headlines as they took office and how President Obama knew they had to renew the confidence not only of America, but the World. How he got to see first hand what drove him. How he knew that families all over America were making consequential decisions. Biden's learned about the depths of Obama's heart and Obama, his loyalty, these past 4 years. How Obama had to sit at his mother's bed as she was dying and was fighting with her insurance company. Biden compares it to his father sitting on his bed as a child, when he had to kleave them at home and go find a new job. A job is more than a paycheck. Biden says the President continuously asks in meetings, How will this affect average Americans ? He contrasts what Obama and Romney, who he calls good husbands and fathers, for what they bring to the task of being POTUS. In regards to the auto industry, how Obama saved 1 million auto jobs and the Ameriucan auto industry. Others saying Risk was too high, the outcome too uncertain. POTUS realized it wasn't just about the cars, but the people who built the cars. Talks of his own dad, a car man himself. Says Obama saved the jobs of those his dad respected. Says he thinks Romney saw it as the Bain way, Balance sheets and profits. But that this was about more than restoring the auto industry. It was about the pride of America and the message around the world giving up on it would have caused. Conviction; Resolve; Barack Obama; saved the auto industry. Recalls Obama telling Americans '08, if we have bin Laden in our sights, we will take him out. Remembers Obama saying if you attack Americans we will follow you to the ends of the earth. That the President said to his military advisers and National Security Team, Do it and Justice was done. That Romney didn't see it that way, he felt instead that it wasn't worth moving heaven and earth to breing one person to justice. Recalls his mother's phrase, Bravery resides in every heart and the time comes when it has to be summoned. He says that is the kind of bravery Obama has summoned time and time again, having the courage to make the tough decision. As a result, Osama is dead and General Motors is alive. Contrasts this with what Romney-Ryan are proposing, about how they don't care about Medicare and have a new plan,Vouchercare. That they won't do anything about the debt. That Romney has a new tax, the territorial tax which will create 800,000 jobs not in the USA, but overseas. Says Romney sees the Dreamers, and Equal Pay, as problems for America. Lambasts GOP for seeing Americans needing help as a culture of dependency. Americans needs a POTUS who will not quit on them. Never a good bet he says to Romney-Ryan, to not believe in America coming back. Says our one truly sacred obligation is never to forget our military men and women. Closes the work of of Recovery is not done but we are on our way. That we must continue to complete our work and re-elect President Barack Obama. ............tdp
