Obama vs. Biden

I guess somebody will have to tell these guys that they're actually on the same ticket.

There's this:

Obama was interviewed by Lauer on Monday in Green Bay, Wis.

The Democrat attacked Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for initially opposing the federal government's intervention to save insurance giant AIG.

"I think what has been clear during this entire past 10 days is John McCain has not had clarity and a grasp on the situation," Obama said.

But Lauer pointed out that Obama's running mate, Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), had initially said the same thing -- on "Today," no less.

"I think that in that situation, I think Joe should have waited, as well," Obama said.

And this:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama's running mate says a campaign ad that mocked Republican presidential candidate John McCain as an out-of-touch, out-of-date computer illiterate was "terrible" and would not have been done had he known about it.
