I haven’t found much, if anything, to cheer in the Democrat primaries or convention. In fact, I can’t remember agreeing with one of their candidates on a single issue until Joe Biden called out Nancy Pelosi in his speech last night:
I’ve never seen a time when Washington has watched so many people get knocked down without doing anything to help them get back up. Almost every night, I take the train home to Wilmington, sometimes very late. As I look out the window at the homes we pass, I can almost hear what they’re talking about at the kitchen table after they put the kids to bed.
That’s right! Even Joe Biden sees that Nancy Pelosi has “led” the least effective House chamber in history!
Joe goes on to list a series of woes:
Should Mom move in with us now that Dad is gone?
Fifty, 60, 70 dollars to fill up the car?
Winter’s coming. How we gonna pay the heating bills?
Another year and no raise?
Did you hear the company may be cutting our health care?
Now, we owe more on the house than it’s worth. How are we going to send the kids to college?
How are we gonna be able to retire?
Joe just continues to slap Pelosi down. Joe has evidently gotten religion on the fact that people’s financial situations are related to the growth of the US economy. He further understands that our economy is based on inexpensive transportation which is dependent on inexpensive oil.
The one thing Joe could have done to “seal the deal” last night would have been to put Nancy’s gas price chart on the big screen’s behind him:
What? Joe wasn’t calling out Nancy? Well, just another Biden gaffe then.
