“One man stands ready to deliver the change we desperately need. A man I’m proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next president of the United States. Barack America.”
Oops. At his very first rally as Barack Obama’s running mate in August 2008, Biden botched the future President’s name, making him sound more like a superhero than a contender for the presidency. The gaffe got plenty of attention and probably wasn’t the best way for Biden to officially present himself to the world as the man a heartbeat away from the presidency. But to be fair, there were plenty of worse things he could have csaid. (In other words: It happens to the best of us. Don’t stress out about it, Joe.)
