Audio of Bill Clinton and Joe Bidens Convention Speeches
August 28th, 2008
Joe Biden accepting VP nomination and taking on John McCain
He went with the tag line against John McCain “that’s not change, that’s more of the same”; mostly in regards to tax breaks for corporations and other economic factor, with nothing for regular people:
“He voted 19 times against the minimum wage, for people struggling just to make it to the next day; that’s not change, that’s more of the same”

Notable quotes: “Everything I learned in my 8 years as president, and in the work I have done since in America and across the globe; has convinced me that Barack Obama is the man for this job”
“People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example, than the example of our power”
“I will never forget the parents of children with autism and other serious conditions, who told me on the campaign trial that they couldn’t afford healthcare and couldn’t qualify for their children for Medicade; unless the quit work and starved, or got a divorce.

“…16 years ago you gave me the profound honor to lead our nation to peace and broad prosperity…where the Republicans said I was too young and too inexperienced to be commander in chief. Sound familiar? It didn’t work on 1992, because we were on the right side of history; and it won’t work in 2008, because Barack Obama is on the right side of history.”
