joe biden was trusted. he's the guy who always took the train from washington back up to wilmington. >> because? >> because that's where he lived. >> and because his two kids were orphaned. >> his kids were orphaned. his first wife died in a tragic accident. he's the kind of guy who liked to ride the train, who liked to talk to people on the train. his dad was a car dealer. he's an average guy. he went to state schools. he knows how to speak the real language. the onion newspaper, the humor newspaper, they've got a guy they call onion joe biden, and he's a guy with tattoos and a muscle tee who's always polishing his pontiac. that's an exaggeration, but on the other hand, that's who joe biden is. and the other thing about joe biden -- and i think the senator will agree with me -- he was one of the best informed, most detail focused guys. he was chairman of the foreign relations committee, chairman of the judiciary committee. this is not just a show horse by any means. >> it helps if you're 29 years old when

they're working it hard and on larry's point about joe biden, that was as good as he can speak. he was direct. sober. he resisted the tendency he has to shout. he didn't do that so much. took directly on the bain argument, accused mitt romney of not understanding what the auto industry meant to america. said he thought about it the the bain way, which was balanced sheets. you mentioned the point about osama bin laden. the emotional moment about the troop was meant to contrast on the republican ticket. >> yeah, we did hear earlier this week that corporations were not people and yet, we also heard gm essentially referenced as a person. gm is alive. >> exactly right. look, both sides are a little silly with that argument. corporation, mitt romney is right. corporations are composed of human beings who organize themselves to make profits and pay themselves and pay their shareholders and all that. that's kind of a partisan tool. quote from mitt romney, but that was joe biden at his best tonight and i think in the same way that the republican ticket was very happy with the spectacular

and then, karl, vice president joe biden. >> absolutely. >> bill: we know sometimes joe biden goes off the reservation. he's for real. my home state of delaware, we love him because joe is very authentic. >> he's literally the most authentic vice president we've literally ever had. >> bill: last night his job was to tell, i think the world who barack obama really is from somebody who has been up close and worked with him and been there with him when he made all of the tough decisions. here karl is joe biden talking about barack obama's backbone. >> time and time again i witnessed him summon it. this man has courage in his soul compassion in his heart and a spine of steel! >> it was a really good speech. you know, what was interesting if you compare that to the republican convention, the republican convention, the spin was they're trying to personalize the candidates because people don't like them, right? the big mistake that they made in doing only that was that people -- they're not just looking to like mitt romney. in order to cast their ballot for him. they want to know the directio

thank [ cheering and applause ]♪ [ music ] ♪joe biden, his wife jill biden joining him and exiting stage left as the signs in the crowd read fired up and ready for joe. it was quite a last 45 minutes, joe biden going across the political spectrum and reminding people this is a man he knows, president obama, a man he's confident can lead this nation if given four more years to complete the task. joe biden, one known to go off script and sometimes a little bit long, tonight they are only slightly over. for those of you just tuning in and in a matter of minutes we'll have a video presentation which will introduce the president. it will last about seven minute. there may be a little surprise we're led to believe by the democratic national committee in there and we'll not spoil that to you and then the president of the united states to make his case to why he deserves four more years in office and to do what they've been saying in north carolina complete the task and right the ship, a lot of work ahead, a man who knows vice president biden pretty well, our congressional correspondent mike ema

vice president joe biden nominated and accepting. here are the highlights of night three. >> the current right wing tea party dominated republican not only has hasn't learned from mistakes of the past they're determined to repeat them. we will not let that happen. >> one side of the campaign we have a president who has made america lead like america again. and what is there on the other side? an extreme candidate lacking the judgment and vision so vital to the oval office. the most inexperienced foreign policy to run for president and vice president in decades. >> and barack obama is the kind of leader my he father brought wrote bchl he does what is hard. he does what is right. >> congressman ryan says he wants medicare to be around for his grandkids. well... if that is the case, he had better vote for barack obama. >> this man has courage in his soul, compassion in his heart and a spine of steel. and, because of all of the actions he took, because of the polls he made and determination of american workers and unparallelled bravery o

you often hear the story from joe biden. just a kid from scranton, p.a., trying to make it in the tough, tough world. that's the message he'll resonate on the president's policies toward the folks not born with a silver spoon in their mouth. it will be interesting to see how he does that tonight, how fiery the rhetoric can be. it has been fiery in the past. most interestingly enough, with joe biden, the most important thing he can do for president obama is not have a gap tonight and also reiterate the message he's fighting for those who are not of means, who are not of extreme wealth. that's what his position here is for, president obama. it's something he's quite good at and enjoys to do. >> steve, you had some thoughts on joe biden. what have you got there? >> i think there's a fascinating subtext to his speech tonight because there's sort of a tradition, a more moderate tradition with re-election conventions. part of it is their vice president gets a chance to make the point, hey, i'm in line for the next election. there'

loves joe biden. he is prone to go over times. he delivers the terms -- in term s of hit a lot of points that fire of people in this hall and presumably across the country. >> he did mention repeatedly the fact that the republican presidential nominee did not discuss the troops overseas, dii that has been a talking point for the democrats since the -pconvention began. >> that is correct. you heard him reference barack obama as the commander in chief. he talked as a person who was in the oval office with president obama when tough decisions came what do we do about getting osama bin laden? there are risks involved with that mission. he talked about the automotive industry, which was crumbling before our eyes. president obama had to make a decision about how to handle it. he gave a personal testimonials about the guy in the room with the president of the united statee and his decisive leadership when tested by huge events that were taking place before our eyes. >> the vice president has been known as un

you might remember a way that in may vice president joe biden went on meet the press and said this about marriage equality in the united states i am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men women marrying women and heterosexual men and women are entitled the same exact rights all the civil rights all the civil liberties and quite frankly i don't see much of a distinction beyond that whether a mentor and not by coming out in support of marriage equality before the president had vice president joe biden forced president obama's and and just three days later the president himself was ready to make the same proclamation at a certain point i've just concluded that. for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that i think same sex couples should be able to get married and with that the president pull the united states right into the twenty first century at least they're going to this topic endorsing equal rights to married couples regardless of their sexual orientation and also picked up a lot of support both money volunteers and votes from the community t

is the white house not using joe biden to best effect? are they afraid to have joe biden go out and do interviews? >> i don't think so at all. i think joe biden is out there at campaign stops all over the country. he draws big crowds and everybody is very enthusiastic to have him. joe biden is a great leader in our country. he's authentic. he says it the way he sees it. >> if the president is re-elected, if he is or if he isn't, is joe biden a likely contender in 2016 if he wants to, or would you expect that hillary clinton or some of the younger faces we've seen, corey booker going to the iowa delegation breakfast the other day or today, rather, is a key indicator? >> we have many good choices in the democratic party but let's get through this election first and elect this extraordinary president who in no ordinary time was able to pull us from the brink of depression, job creator from day one, more jobs in the private sector in one year than in the eight years of the bush administration. one election at a time. >> democratic leader nanc

vice president joe biden forced the president's hand on marriage equality a different vice president or i should say a vice presidential nominee could conceivably forces and on this issue to paul ryan was in colorado recently a state that's poised to become the first in the nation to legalize and regulate marijuana ryan was asked by a local news affiliate what his views were on medical marijuana and here's what he said. one of those questions you want to him to answer was about medical marijuana medical marijuana is a hot button issue here in colorado and across the nation it's up to colorado to decide. marijuana. you think look my personal position on these issues have been let the states decide what they want to do with these things as in if the states votes are legalized medical marijuana and paul ryan is ok with it that makes a vice presidential nominee paul ryan the first candidate for the executive branch in history to say that the fed should stop their crackdown on medical marijuana when it's legalized by the states it also puts ryan and odds of president obama who has used hi

biden. >> well, look, i respect joe biden. but those of us who were in congress knew joe biden. we knew joe biden as a person who is a very nice guy, by the way. he is very likeable. but tends to be wrong on the major policy issues. he was wrong frankly on just about every major policy issue. he is even wrong when he disagrees with president obama. so, you know, those of us that knew him were always kind of shocked as to how he is portrayed as this great expert on foreign policy. don't get me wrong. he was the chairman of the committee, but he was always wrong on the policy. that does not take away, however, from the fact that joe biden is a very good debater and a very likeable individual. he is a wonderful guy. the kind of guy that you want to go and have a cup of coffee with. but not the kind of person you want dictating the policies of the united states. >> at least that's what republicans would say. we have to be fair here. i was just wondering something about mitt romney. he is not out campaigning. he's been holed up in

at times as somber as joe biden gets, as modulated as joe biden gets and as fiery as he gets all in the same speech. he tried to use his voice and his volume as an effective tool. you see there the embrace from his wife, dr. jill biden. and again, his role tonight drumming up excitement for the main event, the address by the president here in a few minutes. we're going to have one interim speaker, dick durbin, from illinois. and as we shift our focus ahead to the president claiming nomination for a second time, we want to bring in white house correspondent kristen welker who is mercifully in from the road as long as the president is in from the road. no rest for the weary. she's out first thing in the morning. kristen, column in "the new york times" this morning and i read this back to the first lady during our interview today described the president as proud yet humble, confident yet scarred, a dreamer, mugged by reality. and if all of that is true and if the democrats have done their best possible job laying out the predicate to go forward, starting with your road trip tomorrow, what

you can send joe biden anywhere. people will come out to see him because he's a sitting vice president. you don't need to limit him to the blue collar states. but what i think this is coming down to and everybody sort of agrees to this is that most people have made up their mind about fortunate. either they think he deserves a second term or they don't. the growth potential is on romney's side. romney has to convince people that he is a legitimate alternative, if you don't think that obama deserves a second term. will he do that? i don't know. that's what this ad blitz from now until election day is designed to do. >> let me show you a little clip. >> romney wants to present that. >> let me show you a little clip of one of those new ads. >> here in florida, we're not better off under president obama. home values collapsed. home construction jobs lost. high rate of foreclosure. romney's plan provide alternatives to foreclosure. end the mortgage lending freeze. create over 700,000 new jobs for florida. >> effective? >>

joe biden will -- jill biden will come and introduce joe biden. come right back for that. if you have copd like i do you know how hard it can be to breathe and what that feels like. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. and it's steroid-free. spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens your throat or tongue swells you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? ask your doctor if spiriva can help. when a carpet i

joe biden knows that story. he's lived it. our vice president joe biden. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the vice president of the united states, joe biden. [ cheers and applause ] >> hello, my fellow democrats! and my favorite democrat. jilly, i want you to know that beau and hunt and ashley and i, we're so incredibly proud of you. you know, we admire the way -- with every single solitary young person -- and they're not all young, walk into your classroom, you not only teach them, you give them confidence. you give me confidence. and the passion. the passion she brings to try to ease the burden on the families of our warriors. jilly, they know you understand them. and that makes a gigantic difference. and, folks, i tell you what, it was worth the trip. to hear my wife say what i've never heard her say before. she's always loved me. if that's the case, why in the heck did it take five times of asking you? and that's true. five times. i don't know what i would have done, kiddo, had you on that fifth time said no. i love

biden, and joe biden, you could say it was long or over the top, but he really made the point about the middle class and about that choice election. one other speaker whom you know very well is john kerry. i have been hearing certainly from the diplomatic community their take-away from john kerry's speech last night and some of his recent behind the scenes behavior is that he is really moving up at least at this point and it's never over til it's over, in the sweepstakes if there is a second obama administration, who would be secretary of state. he's played a behind the scenes role as an envoy to some of the most troubled parts of the world without any publicity, he is trusted as a very confidential envoy and there's a lot of competition. susan rice, other players. but john kerry has a lot of supporters now. what is your take-away? >> i think he would be a great choice. i think he would have been a great president, by the way. >> i should say you worked in that campaign. >> yes. right. 60,000 votes in ohio, we would be finishing the second kerry term. i talked to him. he's not focus

[applause] joe biden did a great job with those. [applause] president obama appointed several members of his cabinet, even though they supported hillary in the primaries. he even appointed hillary. [applause] wait a minute -- i am very proud of her. i am proud of the job she and the national security team have done for america. [applause] i am grateful they have worked together to make us safer and stronger, to build a world with more partners and fewer enemies. i am grateful for the relationship of respect and partnership she and the president have enjoyed and the signal that stands to the rest of the world of democracy does not have to be of blood sport. it can be an honorable enterprise that advances the public interest. [applause] besides the national security team, i am very grateful to the men and women who served our country in uniform through these perilous times, and i am especially grateful to michelle obama and joe biden for supporting those military families while their loved ones were overseas and for supporting our vet

is studied joe biden's tapes and record and joe biden's, john style and said, as you know, one of the best litigators in america and is good at adapting to that. chris: have you got lines already prepared, attack lines. >> i'm not a "line" guy, i'm more of a gut guy. i'm more of a -- you know me well, i don't try to be anybody other than who i am. i believe in what i believe. i do what i do, and i really believe in the policies we're providing, we are pursuing. and, at the end of the day, i am just going to go in there and be me. >> chris: are you hoping joe biden makes one of his -- >> i don't think he will. he doesn't do that in debates, the gaffes, he's legendary for this, that is not in these kinds of situations, he's a very disciplined person when he speaks in these kind of situations and doesn't produce gaffes in these moments, those are when he's off the cuff, on the stump, out giving speeches. >> chris: you are not counting on one. >> no. >> chris: thank you so much for talking with us. >> thanks, chris, appreciate it. >> chris: with that interview we have now talked with both

before the president speaks, we'll hear from vice president joe biden. sources say he'll give an inside look in how the president made some of the toughest decisions he's faced. we know his vp has a bit a tendency to go off script. but the analysts say they expect him to stick to the teleprompter on a night as big as this one. we're hearing gabby giffords is here in charlotte. her staffers say she'll lead the crowd in the pledge of allegiance later tonight. the main event of this night and this week, for that matter, is president obama's acceptance speech. now we're getting a preview of what he plans to say. according to his campaign, he'll call this election the clearest choice of any time in a generation. he'll also say they tell us, i won't pretend, the path i'm offering is quicker easier. i never have. you didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. you elected me, he will say, to tell you the truth, and the truth is it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades. his republican rival, mitt romn

now, a vice president joe biden speakes said a campaign rally in the fort myers, florida. this is about 40 minutes. >> all right. thank you very much. thank you so very much. it is great to be back in fort myers. i always joke. a man should always have two things. a brother with a place in florida, and a brother in law with a pickup truck. for the long this time my brother had a place here in fort myers. i got to come down here all of the time. and then he sold it. i have not spoken to him since. i am only kidding. since i have been here a number of times over the last 20 years -- do you mind if i take my coat off? ok. thank you very much. when i got here and i was introduced to jamie, i thought she was my sister a lot. she looks like my sister-in-law kelly more than you can imagine. thank you for the introduction. thank you for the hard work you have under way. all of the for being here on a saturday morning. i want to get right to it. the fact of the matter is, you know as well as i do that this country is facing the starkest choice for president that we have faced at le

joe biden understands this. it's what you learn growing up in scranton, pennsylvania, and claymont, delaware. >> it was a neat place to grow up. i mean, we thought it was, and still do, think it's completely normal. four kids, three bedrooms, mom and dad, and of the probably 16 years i lived in that house, there was a relative at least 14 of those years living with us full time. my parents never doubted for a second i could be president or vice president. there was this notion that nobody is better than you, you're no better than anybody else, but nobody is better than you. and in this country, you can be anything you want to be. >> and i think that sense of optimism is what he feels for america. >> his parents taught him the fundamental truths that make this country special. basic beliefs that have defined what it has meant to be middle class for generations. >> middle class wasn't a number, it wasn't your net worth. it was more a value set. it's the idea that everyone in this country who works at it can do wel

host: joe biden admits he does not like the budget. guest: he starts out saying he is not a budget guy. he declined to become chairman of the budget committee. he brought in a deputy and said, you are going to be there every day and giving me a tutorial and affirmation. you read those notes and the presentation i have and the book and joe biden mastered the issues. the problem as joe biden saw it, the republicans would not give on revenue. no tax increases. this drove biden crazy. caller: that is pretty funny. i was struck with how you went with, "this is the obama era." what stood out in your book was speaker boehner's office did not return the president's phone call and a lack of communication with the president. it is almost like there is a personal weakness to have somebody to dinner so what should we even do it? guest: relationships need to be built. i think president obama is right when a complaint that boehner would not return his phone call for almost a day. that is unheard of. the white house chief of staff goes swayback when

. >> president obama following joe biden who gave a heart felt speech to some americans on four more years. >> it's never been a good bet to bet against the american people. never. my fellow americans, america is coming back. and we're not going back. and we have no intention of down sizing the american dream. >> let's say good morning to our friday political power panel. we have matt miller. karen finny. and susan. gang, it's the morning after. karen i start with you because the romney camp released a statement on the jobs report not wasting any time on this. saying if last night was the party this morning is the hangover. paul ryan also taking to taxpayer waves this morning on cnbc. take a look. >> this is not what president obama promised. i would argue this is the result of failed leadership in washington, bad fiscal policy coming from the administration and that's where we had this very tepid report. >> nbc's first read calls today's jobs report a win for romney and the gop. is anything over 8% bad news for the president with two more jobs reports left between now and election d

we knew it when he chose joe biden as his running mate. [applause] joe was the perfect choice, because like the president, he had lived the american dream, going from humble middle-class roots, to the united states senate, to the vice presidency of the united states. [applause] and we all know from his incredible speech last night that he has been side by side with the president's, fighting to make sure that we open the doors of opportunity for all americans, working to create good jobs and to invest in education, to make health care and retirement and schools affordable for everyone. it is what he has fought for his entire career. [applause] and we know joe biden is also a very smart guy. we know this because we have met the woman that he married. jill biden, isn't she great? [applause] when she and michelle got together to support military families, they made this country so proud, and they have made such a great difference for military families across this country. [applause] now, i do have to tell you that i do have one problem with ba

en este momento habla de vice presidente de estados unidos joe biden acepta su nominaciÓn. este aÑo pronuncia su mensaje el mismo dÍa. fue presentado por su esposa. y como podemos escuchar, el ambiente es un ambiente de diversiÓn. la gente estÁ gritando estados unidos usa. es una persona muy patriota, una persona que estÁ motivando a muchos de los delegados que se encuentran aquÍ. aproximadamente 15 mil personas, estÁn en este estudio. esto sin contar casi 9.000 miembros de la prensa. sigue con nosotros fabiÁn nÚÑez. y fabiÁn, asambleista. estÁbamos comentando anteriormente. que el presidente obama trata de convencer a los votantes hispanos. por una parte que salgan a votar y que le den una nueva oportunidad. para los hispanos ha sido difÍcil, tienen un desempleo del 10, 3%. 26% a nivel de pobreza. los mÁs afectados en los casos de perder su hipoteca, perder sus casa. entonces, ¿por quÉ los hispanos deben darle una nueva oportunidad al presidente obama? sin mencionar las deportaciones y la falta de compromiso con el dream act. >>> es importante entender que

>> i think joe biden was joe biden tonight. the guy you get to like. he's the brother who sings at the wedding. the guy in the family who always goes a bit over the top, but the love is manifest. i think his loyalty to the president couldn't have been more on display tonight. i think he gave barack obama who can be a cool customer a much more human face tonight. i think that's always what joe biden has brought to this partnership. sfl. >> chris, what is important about the vice president using the president's first name, how he sees him daily. all that personal stuff about how close they are just as friends, as men. what's important about that? >> well, it's -- it's not exactly a bromance, but you know, the modern vice presidency is two doors away from the presidency. it used to be the vice president was somebody who had an office up in the senate as presiding officer. in fact in lincoln's day, went back to maine after he was elected. now the vice president is a junior partner. joe biden actually works right around the corner from the oval office. and

>> i don't think anyone can cage joe biden. he has been a tremendous contributor. he has been an outstanding vice president. >> you know, it seems as if they're careful about suddenly about interviews and how often we see him? >> if you think about the responsibilities the vice president has been asked to take on by this president, leading not just transition afghanistan and iraq, major decisions on foreign policy, implementation of the stimulus and being in the room for all the most important decisions, i don't think they shy at all from having joe biden be central to the leadership of this administration. >> senator menendez your role in the party sometimes you're the highest ranking hispanic democrat in the united states senate, what role are you going to be able to play for the president in the state of florida? will you do the same things you were able to do in 2008 or your own campaign going to get in the way a little bit? >> certainly i'm going to be focused on our campaign because it's an opportunity to connect with the people of new jersey on what i've bee

let's talk a little about joe biden. candy crowley is here. it's interesting, jessica yellin, our chief white house correspondent is hearing he's going to talk a little bit about some of the experience he's had with the president, what he's learned about the president over these past four years, he'll share some anecdotes and focus a little bit on the big decisions that the president's made. he's trying to tee-off, the president, obviously in a very strong way. this is an important speech for joe biden personally as well. >> it is. it sounds a little bit like michelle obama's speech when she tried to link policy and the person. so this is also a guy joe biden, the vice president who's been in on some of these decisions, he had a famous phrase which i guess we can't repeat on television to describe when health care passed. what's interesting about this through the prism of joe biden is this is a man who has not ruled out a 2016 run. so a lot will be looked at in this speech. this has been a man who's been quite loyal to president obama, done hi
