MORE ON JOE BIDEN'S CLAIM TO BE AN "ORDINARY MAN"

Is anyone else paying attention to how many times Joe Biden says "in my neighborhood"?

the acquisition of his waterfront property a decade ago involved wealthy businessmen and campaign supporters, some of them bankers with an interest in legislation before the Senate, who bought his old house for top dollar, sold him four acres at cost and lent him $500,000 to build his new home.

Of course, the entire article in the NYT reports discrepencies or questionable favorable treatment that Joe Biden has received, even noting that the bank that Biden got his huge home building loan from was the same bank that James H. Gilliam Jr. worked for, the same James H. Gilliam Jr. that Biden had offered to nominate for a federal judge's position...but, of course, that had NOTHING IN COMMON:

Not long before Mr. Biden obtained his construction loan from Beneficial in July 1997, he had offered to nominate the bank’s chairman, James H. Gilliam Jr., for a federal judge’s post in Delaware, according to news accounts of Mr. Gilliam’s death in 2003. Mr. Gilliam, a lawyer who also headed a state judiciary nomination panel and donated to Mr. Biden’s campaigns, declined the offer and recommended someone else, whom Mr. Biden nominated in June 1997.

Mr. Biden’s campaign said that his dealings with Mr. Gilliam had nothing to do with the $634,000 in loans he received from Beneficial, adding that Mr. Biden had other reasons to consider Mr. Gilliam, who would have been Delaware’s first African-American federal judge.

I know that Joe the Plumber doesn't live in a millions dollars mansion...neither do I...neither do you...

But Joe Biden's constant reference to the "people in my neighborhood" as if Joe Biden is living in suburbia is out and out LIES

The entire Obama - Biden campaign is built on lies...

I just hope people are really paying attention...
