A Moment With Joe Biden: Dad

[by Son of Bob]

And now, a moment with Joe Biden…

BIDEN: …so my dad’s the one that I have to thank for being here. My dad was the one. And people said he didn’t know what he was talking about. But, he was right. He’s the one that told me… he said, “Joey, this Barack Obama’s gonna be a big F-in’ deal. Oh gosh, I’m sorry. Did I say that out loud? I’m sorry. Oh, and you’ve got kids with you… God bless you, ma’am. I’m sorry… I’m so sorry. But, it’s true. He did. He said, “This Barack Obama is going to be a big deal.” And, my dad never met Obama. In fact, my dad passed away before anyone had ever heard of Barack. But, somehow he knew. Somehow he knew that this clean, articulate, colored fella named Barack Obama was going to come along and be a big deal. And, my dad didn’t like colored people. He was the grandson of a former slave owner. As a child, the only African-Americans I ever saw were the ones that dad would hire to wash our cars. And, he’d tell me, “Joey, you keep an eye on that colored fella, ’cause you just can’t trust ’em.” He didn’t like ’em. He didn’t like most of them. But, somehow he knew… somehow he knew that Barack was one of the good ones. And he was right. And, that’s exactly why you need to vote for Barack Obama. ‘Cause, as my wonderful dad would say, “He’s one of the good ones”

This has been a moment with Joe Biden.
