It’s too late to put together a detailed post on Biden’s speech so here are some of the thoughts that popped into my head during the event

• Are you insulted yet?  Biden recounted that when he was a kid Americans learned to get back up when they were knocked down. But today it is different. Today’s Americans can’t succeed unless the government “helps” them.  We are all children who need the benevolent protection and guidance of the nanny state.
• Both Biden and Obama have now called for more troops to be sent to Afghanistan and Pakistan. Are we now going to invade Pakistan, an ally in the war on terror, which is also a Muslim country armed with nuclear weapons?
• Do the anti-war protesters who blame America first, who think Al Qaeda was provoked by the U.S. and who support Obama. Do they support the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan?
• Biden and Obama insist that the economy under President Bush is terrible and they want to return us to the great Clinton years.  But the Bush & Clinton records are roughly the same on unemployment(about 5.2%), inflation (about 2.6%) and growth rate (19.6% for Clinton, 16.6% for Bush with 911 attacks) Frankly, the economy has been good under both presidents, primarily because of tax cuts going all the way back to Reagan.

There is much more to cover relating to Biden’s accusations of poor military judgement against John McCain. I’m sure some of the Mil-Blogs will respond. I’ll try to link sometime tomorrow.
