Sandra Bernard-Bastien – Historian, Coral Springs
“I was thrilled to receive my text message this morning. I believe a selection like this demonstrates Senator Barack Obama’s good judgment. Senator Joe Biden is an accomplished, extremely bright and talented public servant.”
Elaine Bloom – former State Representative & former Hillary Clinton supporter, Miami Beach
“Joe Biden is a superb choice for V.P.! He has a proven record of real leadership and extensive foreign policy experience. I’m sure that those concerned about Israel’s safety and security will be totally comfortable, as I am, with Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the White House.”
Jeremy Branch – Jackson County Commissioner, Grand Rdige
“Senator Obama and Senator Biden may have different backgrounds but they share the quintessential American story. Obama was raised by a poor single mom and his grandparents. Biden was born of humble roots into a working class family in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Both men believe in the strength of the American family and take pride in their faith and values. Senators Obama and Biden understand the challenges working families face today, and that is exactly the kind of leadership and change that we need.”
Luis Garcia - State Representative, Little Havana
“I am thrilled with Senator Obama’s selection of Joe Biden, who I have admired for over 25 years. He’s somebody that won’t be bullied by anybody. Senator Biden walks the walk and talks the talk – a defender of America’s working families and a proponent of freedom everywhere. In South Florida, I know that the diverse Hispanic, Jewish and Caribbean constituencies will see Senator Biden as a perfect compliment for this campaign to bring change.”
Luis Garcia - Representante Estatal, La Pequeña Havana
“Estoy muy entusiasmado de que el senador Obama escogió a Joe Biden, una persona que he admirado por más de 25 años. Él no será intimidado por nadie. El senador Biden practica lo que predica-es un defensor de las familias trabajadoras en este país y proponente de libertad por todo el mundo. En el sur de La Florida, yo se que los diversos grupos como los hispanos, judíos y caribeños verán al senador Biden como perfecta adición a la campaña para lograr el cambio.”
Edna LaRoche – President, Haitian American Democratic Club, Miramar
“I am an enthusiastic and excited Democrat today! Senator Obama has totally hit the ball out of the park with this choice. Thank God, we are on our way to the White House.”
Mike Novosel, Jr. – CW4 U.S. Army (Ret.), Fort Walton Beach
“Besides being an expert on foreign policy, Joe Biden is a father who raised his children to love and serve their country. As a military family member, Joe Biden understands the challenges and fears that all military families face. His son volunteered to serve his country and will shortly be deployed to Iraq. I applaud Senator Obama for his decision to choose this fine patriot! He is my choice, too.”
