Below are Joe Biden’s Transcript and Video of his DNC Speech from 8-27-08…
Introduction of Joe Biden from his son…
Joe Biden’s speech…
(Below is the text of Biden’s speech, as prepared for delivery.)
Beau, I love you. I am so proud of you. Proud of the son you are. Proud of the father you’ve become. And I’m so proud of my son Hunter, my daughter Ashley, and my wife Jill, the only one who leaves me breathless and speechless at the same time.
It is an honor to share this stage tonight with President Clinton. And last night, it was moving to watch Hillary, one of the great leaders of our party, a woman who has made history and will continue to make history: my colleague and my friend, Senator Hillary Clinton.
And I am honored to represent our first state–my state–Delaware.
Since I’ve never been called a man of few words, let me say this as simply as I can: Yes. Yes, I accept your nomination to run and serve alongside our next President of the United States of America, Barack Obama.
Remarks as prepared for delivery to the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday by former President Bill Clinton:
I am honored to be here tonight to support Barack Obama. And to warm up the crowd for Joe Biden, though as you’ll soon see, he doesn’t need any help from me. I love Joe Biden, and America will too.
What a year we Democrats have had. The primary began with an all-star line up and came down to two remarkable Americans locked in a hard fought contest to the very end. The campaign generated so much heat it increased global warming.
In the end, my candidate didn’t win. But I’m very proud of the campaign she ran: she never quit on the people she stood up for, on the changes she pushed for, on the future she wants for all our children. And I’m grateful for the chance Chelsea and I had to tell Americans about the person we know and love.
Michelle, please get with Kelly and brainstorm ideas on how to get Beyonce to make another Destiny’s Child album. Sweetie, I heard your singing voice LIVE! @ the J&R free concert series, and I started to ask for my money back. No, it’s not me hating… several people said the same thing that your performance last Thursday @ City Hall Park in NYC fell short of a dog’s howl at the moon. You clearly could not hit the high notes, and therefore cracked under pressure. A friend of mine made a very good suggestion that maybe you should consider house music… so that the beat can drown out that high pitch/ Macy Gray/ mosquito’s nest that you call a voice.
After watching you and Terrance Howard perform LIVE! I truly believe that if R&B died today, you both would have had a hand in it. I’ve never seen studio voices try and perform live. Michelle, you and Terrance Howard are the reason lip syncing was invented. Please see T-Pain for voice box dealers near you!
Now before you get in an uproar… some people are just not meant to go solo. Some people are just meant to do back up vocals, or join a choir, or be the chick in the shadows of a group. Yes, I know it was a free concert but you also have an album coming out. I refuse to support studio voices, you cheat us we cheat you by getting your music on bootleg! The goal is to make fans @ the free concert series not turn them away when they hear what your “true” LIVE! voice sounds like.
I’m curious to see what Kelly sound’s like LIVE! If it’s any consolation, Beyonce, in my opinion is not a natural singer either. Although she would like to be an Aretha (before the tremendous, hefty, run out of breath in the middle of a verse weight gain), Whitney (before the crack), Teena Marie (during the crack), Tina Turner (while Ike was beating her), etc. but in the process she hollers. Hollering doesn’t make you a singer… you can’t go into hollering after you fall short of hitting the note or fake it by going into a million and one rifts.
(note: please seek out Teena Marie’s Casanova Brown for reference on true vocal range. She can hit those notes LIVE!, high on crack, without batting an eyelash. You youngins need to learn a thing about natural vocal range!)
Michelle, in regards to your new cd coming out… smh I now see Matthew Knowles master plan. Matthew is evil, but smart. Not only did he keep the unattractive chick in the group but he made sure she couldn’t sing. Then on the records he drowned her out with his daughters loud screams that way no one from the group could ever do better “solo wise” then his daughter. That was an ingenious plan!
Kind Regards,
Kitty Bradshaw
*sigh* Had it not been for the Friday night Jazz portion of the J&R Free Concert Series I would still be having nightmares from Michelle and Terrances performance…. unfortunately I missed Solanges performance.
Terrance Howard and Michelle Williams, if you are reading this please see the below video. That is how you perform LIVE! No howling, no monologues, no blaming feedback, no egos… just natural talent!
Kitty says: I like Michelle way more then I like Obama. Michelle is the real second in command… You can judge a man by the type of wife he picks. Lately I haven’t been agreeing with Obama on a couple of things, but his wife is what helps me keep my opinions to myself…
I will be posting the highlights of the DNC & RNC here…
p.s. Joe Biden is a Handsome old white man in a Sean Conery/ Paul Newman sort of way *shrugs* lolll
So anyways I’ve been hitting up my free concert series around New York and I unknowingly stumbled upon Terrance Howard. Everyone was at City Hall Park in NYC last Thursday night asking the same question before his performance, “What does he do?!” I didn’t know what to expect but I kinda wish he would of stuck to Three 6 Mafia ghost writing and him rapping… *sigh* but alas Terrance came out dressed like Steve Harvey doing his best impression of Joni Mitchel and Simon & Garfunkel… singing folk songs. Now never mind the fact that we were at the R&B concert free series.
So dude took an hour to get on stage, then instead of going right into song he breaks out this 15 minute monologue setting us up for the song. The reason why I say monologue is because it came off sounding fake and rehearsed which answered the question why he didn’t win the Oscar. So once young Mercutio was done setting us up for the FAILURE of the song he was about to perform he commenced to singing.
Imma tell yall straight… imagine him talking to music. Imagine him holding a conversation over a beat… and that sums up Terrance Howard’s singing. Now every now and then his cockiness as a person would implore him to hit a higher note and he would crack… then make excuses like “there was feedback” while in the middle of the song! He did that several times throughout the set.
Kitty says: Terrance… I have never in my life heard someone stutter during a song… or a newcomer who is so full of themselves that they feel like since they make a couple of movies they are doing the audience a favor by performaning on stage. Terrance you need to humble yourself first, then go back to acting.
Now every thunder cloud has a silver lining and Terrance Howard’s band was awesome “The band of Kings”! His band needs to drop him and get another lead singer. Oh, one more thing, as I was sitting there watching this I was wondering who writes his lyrics because they weren’t quite clear. They were a combination of rewritten quotes I’ve heard before. I find out the next day he writes his own songs. SMH…
Aiight here is a snippet of the concert. This was his first song, the best… most likely because he performs this one the most. Now keep in mind this was after an hour of waiting…
when I get home from work imma put Michelle Williams on the chopping block…
I really wanted to write about Jill Scott’s performance at Wingate Park in Brooklyn, 2 weeks ago but there wasn’t anything interesting to say. Don’t get me wrong Jill Scott is an awesome performer but I really can’t add anything that anyone else hasn’t already said. SO I decided instead of boring you guys with some puff piece, I would talk about how I was on the train coming home from ESPN Zone last Friday and saw this chick laying down spread out across the bench on the N train.
Two good Samaritans came over and were concerned as to why she was sleep on a train. I thought to myself they must not ride the train during rush hour around 6 o clock. They tried to shake the chick and realized that she wasn’t sleep but was really unconscious.
I kinda felt bad for not realizing something was wrong with ole girl. I mean after all I was sitting right in front of her and could of stopped thinking about how the Raiders losing their pre-season game for one moment to check and see if the chick was breathing. I just thought she was hung over… I mean who here hasn’t been hung over on a train before?!
So in honor of unconscious girl on the train I would like to dedicate this next song to her: Jill Scott the crown Royal song
