A Fiery Speech from a Candidate

I know that Joe Biden is run­ning for Pres­i­dent in 2008. That means that he is look­ing for chances to make him­self stand out from the pack of Democ­rats, par­tic­u­larly all of the non-white or non-male ones. Nev­er­the­less, cyn­i­cal rea­sons aside, he made a strong state­ment from the floor of the Sen­ate today, and it was cov­ered by C-SPAN and posted on YouTube. Here’s what I saw:

I have to admit, cam­paign or not, what he says makes a lot more sense than a lot of what I’ve heard so far. I doubt he’ll get the nom­i­na­tion, but if he did, it wouldn’t be a bad thing, as far as I can tell.

Then again, angry doesn’t ‘sell’. I learned that from Howard Dean. Even if he was right all along (go check).
