Oh he said it a couple of hours ago. It will blow up shortly. The liberals don't even know how to spin it at. They are still in shock. Will they try the "mis-quote" angle or "botched joke" approach.

It's like that billboard across the state "He's an articulate black man", no - it should properly read "He's an articulate man"...
If this is true and not taken out of context, it's more than a little oops. 'Course it will get piled on for the same reason a dog licks his you get the picture...
I'd wager he meant clean as in clean cut. This is often how Biden speaks and seems to fit the context of his statement.
And John, I don't think there's any getting around the fact that part of Obama's appeal is that he's one of the first black figures that's has universal appeal.
Sounds like those who oppose political correctness are calling the kettle black.

Personally, It doesn't bother me that he said that, but when you are out there hustling votes, saying something like that will cost you a few....from the people who DO care about what he said.
And the media is just waiting to find something to pounce on someone about.....you have to choose your words EXTREMELY carefully when you decide to run.

Ant yet the Drudgereport dosn't even have the original source for the quote!
I like a man who can speak openly. This is what we need...

As do I, this could be fun. He wasn't a candidate more than a couple of hours. Can you imagine 4 years of these quotes? Honestly, Joe could fit right in here at S-B. Remember this gaffe? How many times has this issue been discussed on our board?

Mr. Biden is equally skeptical—albeit in a slightly more backhanded way—about Mr. Obama. “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
But—and the “but” was clearly inevitable—he doubts whether American voters are going to elect “a one-term, a guy who has served for four years in the Senate,” and added: “I don’t recall hearing a word from Barack about a plan or a tactic.”
Ok, reading this in context I think it's even less of a big deal.
So Obama is a pretty boy with loads of charisma, a cinderella story and no experience.
