Proud of middle class focus

Gives TalkMakes Statement0 Comments

At a Center for American Progress event Biden says that he’s proud that he’s spent his career focused on the middle class.

In this town, being referred to as ‘Middle Class Joe’ is meant as an insult. No, I really mean it. Because you’re not sophisticated if you’re middle class. Because even among some of we Democrats, we’re sophisticated jerks lots of times.

He stands by the straightforward comments that have gotten him into trouble:

I got criticized for saying LaGuardia was like a Third World airport. Guess what? The governor and everybody else, including The New York Times, calls it a Third World airport. And they’re changing it. We have to invest.

He advises Democrats making a White House bid:

We should run on what we’ve done. Whoever’s running should also talk about what the resurgence in place in the future is, and talk about in 2016 what we’ve done. Some say this amounts to a third term for President Obama. I call it sticking to what works and expanding on it to restore the middle class.
