    Yeah

    I like Biden, and I think the speech was good, but I don't think 'Barack America' was the biggest goof. What made me chuckle was when Biden said:

    "He will have such an incredible opportunity, incredible opportunity, not only to change the direction of America but literally, literally to change the direction of the world."

    He'll literally change the direction of the word? Shades of Christopher Reeve. Biden seems to say 'literally' instead of 'uh' or 'ah' or something more traditional like that. Of course I don't think such verbal tics are important--just amusing.
