An excellent photo by Robert Pierce (thank you!) from yesterday's rally in Sterling, Virginia with Joe Biden. Please click on the image to "embiggen."
P.S. AP describes the event as follows:
Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Friday that "ending the cowboy mentality of the Bush-McCain era" is part of the solution to the country's financial crisis."These guys have worshipped at the shrine of deregulation," Biden told about 1,000 supporters at a women's issues rally at a park in Loudoun County, a Virginia suburb of Washington that has been a key battleground in what is generally regarded as a swing state.
Biden jabbed at republican presidential candidate John McCain's response to the economic crisis, noting that until recently he had said the nation's economic fundamentals are sound.
"Something happened to John on the road to Damascus," Biden said.
You can say that again, Senator!
UPDATE: An account of the event is here ("The crowd of seven hundred who made the trip to beautiful Claude Moore Park listened intently to Joe speak about the important issues and challenges women face today.")
UPDATE by Rob: Some local press from the Loudoun Times and the Post Also, a video from the Post here.
Who's stupid here?
Put it another way, is it possible to lead this country at this time in history without calling for shared sacrifice to solve our common problems?
Not only are we spending $10 billion a month in Iraq, but we have the Federal Reserve using taxpayer funds to bail out AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to insure money market accounts, and the plan to buy up all the bad mortgages to save the banks.
Hmm, how and when are we going to pay for all this?
