After visiting the Ironworkers Local 401 this morning, Joe Biden, his wife Jill and Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell stopped by The Dining Car restaurant in North Philadelphia. They had no time to eat, but they did chat with patrons, paid a visit to the kitchen and left with a bag of eclairs.
While in the restaurant, a woman named Betty who was thrilled to see the Bidens told them, “You look like you were made for each other.” Joe replied, “Well thank you. It took me a long time to get her.”
With a bag full of pastries the Bidens joined their motorcade and drove west across the Berks county line into Langhorne, where Joe led a rousing event at Maple Point Middle School’s gymnasium. The event drew a capacity crowd of 1200, according to Middleton Fire Marshall James McGuire.
The event was spirited, with Joe picking up from where he left off at the Ironworkers Local 401 event earlier today. Not only did he speak with fiery conviction about how the Republicans seem out of touch with the issues facing the American people -- including job loss, high gas and food prices and lack of affordable healthcare -- but he also talked about how he and Barack Obama have the experience to shake up Washington and get things done.
Joe also shared a story about how he and an unlikely partner worked together, in the early 1980’s, to change the system in Washington:
