Biden Warns: 'We're Gonna Give 'Em the Devil'

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe reports: No sooner had he arrived in Denver for the Democratic convention, Sen. Barack Obama's, D-Ill., vice-presidential pick, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., threw down a stern warning to Sen. John McCain's, R-Ariz., presidential hopes.
"We're gonna give 'em the devil," Biden told supporters as he stopped for lunch at the Mile High City's Bodey's Smokehouse.
"That's right, you give 'em hell!" came the cry from a woman in the crowd of about 100 that quickly formed when they learned that the veep nominee would be coming to the downtown Writer Square BBQ spot for his midday meal.
Biden spent about five minutes shaking hands with the onlookers, who swarmed around him as soon as he arrived.
"I'm running with Obama," he said. "I'm running for Obama!" drawing cheers from the crowd.
Then the Delaware lawmaker headed over to the small Hickory Smoked Pit BBQ Express stand to order a handful of pulled pork sandwiches. "Keep five," he told the cashier as he gave a generous tip after paying for his food.
Dressed in a blue blazer and khakis on the hot late August day in Denver, Biden was accompanied by his wife Jill, son Beau, daughter Ashley, and brother Jim as they grabbed some grub.
Only hours before, Biden had touched down in Colorado after flying out this morning from his Wilmington home. Before leaving Delaware, he stopped off at the Amtrak station he uses every day to commute to Capitol Hill. There, he was given a warm welcome by home state supporters who sent him off for the start of a whirlwind few months on the campaign trail leading up to the November election.
On Monday night, Biden and his wife will attend Michelle Obama's speech at the convention. Two nights later, on Wednesday, Obama's running mate will take his turn at the mic and address his party as half of the ticket that Democrats hope will win the White House this fall.

That would make two 'devils'. McCaint is already the devil for starting that UNPROVOKED Iraq bush war, and inciting and inflaming this latest war in the Caucus, when the other devil, Saakhasvili, pointed his big guns on INNOCENT Ossetians.

I love Biden!!!

Patriot,
Make that 3 devils. Biden was the strongest proponent for the Iraq War and subsequent surge in the Democratic Party.

What a friggin' loser. Goes to show you that BHO's grip is slipping fast. He's panicky so he has to show up the votes from whites. It's the only time he will admit that he's not superior.

You open the Convention out with saying "we take pride that the Democrats are strong on crime".....come on, the man that is running for President is from Chicago that has the greatest CRIME in the country!!!!! What a joke.
Posted by: Mike | Aug 25, 2008 6:30:07 PM
Yes, the current Democrats are very strong on crime - they get involved in it as much as possible.
Posted by: Leslie | Aug 25, 2008 6:37:54 PM
Did you know saying "change", "change" and "change" doesn't do much but cause frustration...can't you define what the changes are going to be.

NEWS FLASH!
The "so-called" angry Hillary supporters are actually Republicans in disguise, trying to thrown a wrench in the works!
Let's start treating them like the Repuke-licans they are!!! Let's call a spade a spade, and hammer these idiots!
Democrats must unite or we are going to be "hood-winked" into another 4 or 8 years of the utter and complete failure the Republicans have brought on our country!
Throw the BUMS OUT!!!!
Vote Democrat, Obama/Biden '08!!!!!!

========================================
At least they don't commit crimes like the Bush Republicans do, and McCain did in the Keating Five scandal!!
You Republican losers and your grandpa McSenile are going down in November!
Obama/Biden '08!!!!!
Posted by: Davis | Aug 25, 2008 6:42:06 PM
As much as I like Biden he CAN'T TAKE THE STINK OFF OBAMA!
AMERICANS VOTE FOR THE TOP OF THE TICKET EVERY TIME!
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

No there were just 30 murders in one weekend in Chicago and they were thinking of calling out the National Guard...but hey they are mostly kids...so that doesn't count. Get it straight....if your are strong on crime then what did Barack Obama do all the time he has lived in Chicago to stop the crime or make it less...the crime in Chicago is the highest in the nation. He did nothing but talk.
Posted by: Mike | Aug 25, 2008 6:45:42 PM
Davis, probably a paid blogger with the message of the day doesn't know what he's talking about. If Obama really had won the majority of Dem support, then his number wouldn't be tanking in a Democratic year. Angry Hillary supporters are just that - if you are a Democrat and not a paid blogger, then think back to your feelings about stolen elections, say, in 2000 GE. This election will come down to character, not specific issues. The presidency is entirely about character.

***************************************
After 8 years of disasterous foreign and domestic policy under Bush and McCain offering the same we need a president with common sense like Obama with fresh ideas.
What dont you understand about change?
Obama 08.

Kenny, which fresh ideas are you talking about? Rejecting campaign finance reform? Supporting FISA? Kowtowing to the large corporations that support him? Promoting the same timetable for getting out of Iraq as just about everyone else? He's as big a phoney as any other politician and his ideas are as fresh as yesterday's newspaper. He's rudderless, and completely without principle. Obama wants to be the first African American president so badly that he'll sell his soul to get elected.
Posted by: Leslie | Aug 25, 2008 6:53:34 PM
Sorry, I also forgot Obama's vote FOR the Bush energy "plan."
Posted by: Leslie | Aug 25, 2008 6:55:58 PM
Hey Joe calm down, you may just pop that vessel in your brain. and be like Ted kennedy and have to have someone wipe the spit off your chin.
Posted by: Hilly-Billy | Aug 25, 2008 6:58:48 PM
Just listen to the cynics run like roaches, when actually they're still whining like b******s.
POTUS OBAMA.........
1. You can't stop it
2. Why try?
3. McCain can't counter it.
4. He doesn't have a porkchop's chance in a piranha tank of becoming POTUS over OBAMA.
4. Keep hope alive in your "lemming polls". Even a martian knows McCain isn't even close.
5. ALL THE CROW THE CYNICS CAN EAT COME NOVEMBER.

How about going to Barack Obama's website and reading his policy proposals?
Doesn't sound like you've put any effort into finding out what his proposals for change are.
