    Obama: No, really, we vetted him!

    And Obama, the Washington outsider preaching change? He picked Biden, a Washington insider for 36 years.

    Obama, the enemy of lobbyists? He picked Biden, whose son is a Washington lobbyist for a bank that is Biden's biggest campaign contributor.

    Obama, the friend of the working man? He picked Biden, who voted for a bankruptcy bill that denied protection to those impoverished by medical expenses (a bill supported by the bank his son lobbied for, the bank that is Biden's largest financial supporter.

    Obama knew all about Biden and chose him anyway. Change we believe in. Right.
