At the last debate in Iowa before the caucus, Obama came to Biden's defense for all of those that

labelled Biden a racist. He politely told everyone that Biden is the furthest thing from a racist.

I apologize - I was not able to find a transcript.

What I want to know if he will now do the same for Hillary?

1. If he's in a similar situation, I have no doubt that he will do that.

How about HIll politely telling everyone that Obama has never called her a racist as she's implying?

2. Funny thing about the difference here...

Biden nor his campaign never said anything overtly racist. Hillary's camps has been slinging racist mud for over a week.

7. Everything Biden said was turned against him about race - yet - I just heard

some Obama supporter on msnbc call Obama articulate. Nobody said a word.

I heard what Bill Clinton said and didn't hear anything racial in his comments.

4. A stimulating and legitimate question.

But sweet Jesus help us, for I fear the responses will lack your legitimacy lol. Hi, pirhana. This is getting insane. The two candidates the Dems have chosen as their front runners are eating each other alive before our very eyes.

5. For which remarks??

How many times did you expect him to come to Biden's defense if his people were putting out racist comments day after day?
