Response to Joe Biden
That article talked about Joe Biden and how he is going to be different then the previous vice President and is going to be a loyal and useful one to Barack Obama. He has run for President a couple of times but is now satisfied with being Vice president. When he resigns from being in the senate in Delaware his son is likely to take his place. Biden will be a useful tool in foreign policy problems, for he has travelled a great deal and is " a man at home in most lands". Joe will serve as the globe-trotter and message-bearer for his boss. Joe Biden is almost as important as Barack Obama and this article made my opinion of Joe Biden stronger. I think Joe Biden will be a great Vice president for Barack Obama. I like using google news for there is a lot of current information on Barack Obama
#2. Article: As Vice President, Joe Biden Will Be Central to Barack Obama's Administration
-Joe Biden was chosen by Barack Obama because of his experience as a senator in 1973 in Washington, he was the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and of the Judiciary Committee.
- He is going to serve as great importance to Barack Obama unlike some vice presidents in the past, some have seemed disloyal or untalented, and Biden is neither.
-Before Joe decided to accept his nomination as Vice President, he had Obama agree to meet with him once a week.
- "Biden will be especially instrumental in helping on the urgent foreign policy matters," says a well-connected Democratic strategist who has served in the White House and has known the Delaware senator for many years.
- Bide turns 66 on November 20, and is expected to participate in decision making on foreign policy, making sure that Obama's wishes are respected and his preferences enforced. He has travelled around the world and is a man who is at home in many lands. He will be an influential senator and will serve as the globe-trotter and message-bearer for Obama and will undertake diplomatic missions for the administration.
-Joe says he will not under any circumstances, emulate Dick Cheney, his predecessor, in emphasizing secrecy and trying to expand the powers of the executive branch. He says that it is time for the White House to show more respect for Congress and the Constitution. He will do everything in his power to keep things friendly with his legislative colleagues.
-"Joe will be very helpful in improving relations and in helping pass legislation, especially in the Senate," says a friend. "He is knowledgeable and well liked, and that goes a long way. He will play a pretty big role in keeping things together on the Hill."
-Joe will resign from Congress, there's a good chance that Biden's son, Beau, who is the attorney of Dela-ware who is now serving a stint in Iraq with the National Guard, will take his place. Meaning there would still be a Biden in the Senate after Joe leaves to become the vice president in January.

Response to Obama:This is your victory
The previous article helped a lot on finding quotes. The quotes were out of his presidential speeche.The quotes were quotes that described how passionate he was for America and how much he wants to change America for the better. Those quotes will help a lot at the beginning of my paper to give a broad overview of Barack Obama. It helps a lot that he got elected for the President of United States because I will have more information then if he hadn't of been elected!
#1.Obama: This is your victory
-As Obama was giving his presidential victory speech he told his supporters that "change has to come to America".
-"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America -- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you -- we as a people will get there,"
- He is the first African-American to win the white house.
-Obama told the roaring crowd, "This is your victory."
-"While the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress," Obama said.
