Since the media is full of Palin info lets look at Obamessiah’s VP -

New York Times September 18, 1987:

Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., fighting to salvage his Presidential campaign, today acknowledged ‘’a mistake’’ in his youth, when he plagiarized a law review article for a paper he wrote in his first year at law school.

To buttress his assertions of sincerity and openness, Mr. Biden released a 65-page file, obtained by the Senator from the Syracuse University College of Law, that he said contained all the records of his years there. It disclosed relatively poor grades in college and law school, mixed evaluations from teachers and details of the plagiarism.

In a letter defending himself, dated Nov. 30, 1965, Mr. Biden pleaded with the faculty not to dismiss him from the school.

From Wikipedia: 

Biden unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988 and 2008. In his sixth consecutive term in the Senate, Biden has served for the sixth-longest period among current senators.

Yup, that’s change

Biden stated in 2002 that Saddam Hussein was a threat to national security, and that there was no option but to eliminate that threat.

Guess it was all Bush’s fault.

In September 1987, the campaign ran into trouble when he was accused of plagiarizing a speech by Neil Kinnock, then-leader of the British Labour Party

Guess he didn’t remember what he learned in law school about plagerism.

When questioned by a New Hampshire resident about his grades in law school, Biden had inaccurately recollected graduating in the “top half” of his class when he actually graduated 76th from 85, that he had attended law school on a full scholarship, and had received three degrees in college.[41] In fact, he had earned a single B.A. with a double major in history and political science, and had received a half scholarship to law school based on financial need with some additional assistance based in part upon academics.[41]

In all fairness we’ll include this:

The Delaware Supreme Court’s Board of Professional Responsibility cleared Biden of plagiarism charges regarding the law school paper in late 1987, several months after he had withdrawn from the campaign.[45]

Perfect running mate for Obamessiah.

As long as Palin’s family seems to be fair game:

During the years that Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. was helping the credit card industry win passage of a law making it harder for consumers to file for bankruptcy protection, his son had a consulting agreement that lasted five years with one of the largest companies pushing for the changes, aides to Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign acknowledged Sunday.

Mr. Biden’s son, Hunter, received consulting fees from the MBNA Corporation from 2001 to 2005 for work on online banking issues. Aides to Mr. Obama, who chose Mr. Biden as his vice-presidential running mate on Saturday, would not say how much the younger Mr. Biden, who works as both a lawyer and lobbyist in Washington, had received, though a company official had once described him as having a $100,000 a year retainer. But Obama aides said he had never lobbied for MBNA and that there was nothing improper about the payments.

We’ll give it a rest for now but I’m sure there will be more.
