A Moment With Joe Biden: China

[by Son of Bob]

And now, a moment with Joe Biden:

BIDEN: …and, ya know, I’m hearing how Mitt Romney is making campaign speeches about how he’s going to get tough on China. China? The last I checked they were an ally. You can get Chinese food on practically every corner in America, and that’s because we have a trade agreement with China. Let me give Mitt Romney a little history lesson here. When Richard Nixon was president, he was lost… out of ideas, just flailing out there. So, one day I’m in his office, and he says, “Joe, I need your help, man. You’re the only one that can do this. You’ve got the know-how, and you’re highly respected.” I said, “Richard, it doesn’t matter that you’re a Republican and I’m a Democrat, just turn me loose and we’ll get it done.” It was true bipartisanship. And so, I went to Mao Zedong and I said, “Chairman, let’s work this thing out.” And we proceeded to put together the framework that allowed President Nixon to close that deal. So, I’ve got a longstanding relationship with Chairman Mao. We still talk today… he calls me from time to time. It wasn’t easy to put our past differences behind us. When you drop two nukes on a country, they don’t soon forget it, but I was able to help get it done. Mitt Romney sure couldn’t have done that. My God, he doesn’t even realize that they’re our valued trading partners…

This has been a moment with Joe Biden.

  1. “I tell ya’, the next thing you know Mitt Romney will say that the valuable products we import from Mexico, Columbia and all those other American countries aren’t important to this country. Products worth millions of dollars on our streets…they sure are pumping alot of dollars into our economy.”
