[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 395524, member: 1246"] On Biden...... [B]Katie Couric Interview [/B]Shortly after Biden was named as Vice Presidential candidate by Barack Obama, he sat down with TV reporter Katie Couric, for an interview. "Senator Biden," said Couric, "you've been unfairly criticized during this campaign. During the primaries, you were quoted as saying that [URL="http://www.associatedcontent.com/theme/1787/barack_obama_presidential_campaign.html"][U][COLOR=#000000]Barack Obama[/COLOR][/U][/URL] was 'the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and [URL="http://www.associatedcontent.com/theme/1456/clean.html"][U][COLOR=#000000]clean[/COLOR][/U][/URL] and a nice-looking guy.' People took this as a racist remark, but I don't think it was intended that way, was it?" "Of course not," said Biden. "I meant it as a compliment to Senator Obama. As you know, I've worked with many articulate African-Americans, and I did not mean to slight them in any way." "In my experience, Senator," said Couric, "you are, in fact, a very tolerant, kind man." "Thank you, Katie," said Biden. "And may I add that you are very professional, intelligent, and articulate for a woman." [/QUOTE]
