Raw Video: Obama and Biden Together

A | A | A

Reviews from abroad see Joe Biden as adding weight and depth to a potential Obama administration.

Analysts in Europe think the crisis between Russia and Georgia helped propel Biden to the front of the vice-presidential list. They're saying he owes his selection to Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and fears of a bellicose Russia.

Biden's selection is drawing mixed reviews in Iraq. Some, especially Sunni Arabs, are wary of his call two years ago to divide the country into autonomous regions along sectarian and ethnic lines.

In Ghana, experts attending a U.N. climate change convention say with his choice of Biden, Obama is sending a strong signal of positive change in the battle against global warming.

He could pick a monkey for his VP and I would still vote for Obama. He is what we need to turn this nation around and become great again.

This is an awesome ticket. Biden has one house and knows what it is like to be a regular guy. His first wife and baby were killed in an auto accident and his oldest son is scheduled to be deployed to Iraq in October. He knows what we need. Obama/Biden is RIGHT for America
