IN A TV COMMERCIAL touting Joe Biden for president, Obama claims that Biden was point man for gun control and he lead the way to protect women.
JOBS NOT WELL DONE.
Gun Control
At least not well done if the number of shootings is any indication.
Biden is quoted as saying "During my 12 and a half years as a member of this (Senate) body, I have never believed that additional gun control or federal registration of guns would reduce crime. I am convinced that a criminal who wants a firearm can get one through illegal, nontraceable, unregistered sources, with or without gun control." (Source: https://tinyurl.com/y4xpm22q)
Biden IS correct that criminals are able to get guns, including those with high-capacity magazines (clips) and assault-type rifles and pistols converted to full automatic.
Hardly a day goes by in South Florida that someone is crying before a tv camera asking for someone, anyone, who knows anything about a relative or friend’s murder to come forward and to help stop the violence.
No one does come forward.
The violence continues.
Women’s Welfare
If Biden and his master for 8 years did so much to protect woman, why are there now so many #MeToo legal actions?
The Me Too movement, with a large variety of related local or international names, is a movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault. The phrase "Me Too" was initially used in this context on social media in 2006, on Myspace, by sexual harassment survivor and activist Tarana Burke. (Source: https://tinyurl.com/yckl4pqb)
Tell me again who was president and vice-president when this movement started?
According to a Biden web site, Since Joe Biden wrote the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, our culture has changed for the better. Gender-based violence is no longer considered a private issue or a “family matter,” and the fight to end it is now front and center in our national dialogue.
But there is more work to be done. Despite significant progress — annual rates of domestic violence decreased by 64 percent from 1994 to 2010 — the figures have remained all too high for our nation’s young people. (Source: https://tinyurl.com/wcrq3dd)
In fact, Biden sponsored the bill; he did not, as the Biden web site falsely claims, write the bill.
According to Time magazine, Sally Goldfarb, now a law professor at Rutgers Law School, and Victoria Nourse, a constitutional law professor at Georgetown University helped to draft the bill as counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time.
Lawyers who helped to draft the bill say that part of the reason the legislation has been so successful is that it has helped to create a profound cultural change, and has encouraged Americans to take gender-based violence seriously. (Source: https://tinyurl.com/sz5xp2g)
Blacks for Biden — why?
A defining moment was when Sen. Kamala Harris took former Vice President Joe Biden to task over his recent comments about segregationist senators, as well as his opposition to using federally mandated busing to racially integrate schools in the 1970s. She pointed directly to how busing affected her life as a young child.
“I did not oppose busing in America,” Biden, who represented Delaware in the US Senate from 1973 to 2009, responded. “What I opposed is busing ordered by the Department of Education. That’s what I opposed.” (Source: https://tinyurl.com/yyb37jnp)
In reality, Mr. Biden was a leading opponent of busing in the Senate during the 1970s and 1980s, and his opposition went beyond the federal government’s role in the practice.
But speaking at a conference Friday in Chicago, Mr. Biden doubled down, claiming that he had “never, never, never ever opposed voluntary busing,” implicitly drawing a distinction between voluntary busing allowed by some local governments and the mandatory, court-ordered busing that also took place decades ago.

“The new integration plans being offered are really just quota systems to assure a certain number of blacks, Chicanos, or whatever in each school. That, to me, is the most racist concept you can come up with,” the senator from Delaware told a home-state newspaper in 1975. “Who the hell do we think we are, that the only way a black man or woman can learn is if they rub shoulders with my white child?"

Old comments from 1977 resurfaced, quoting Biden as saying that non-"orderly" racial integration policies would cause his children to "grow up in a racial jungle."
He then said: "Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."
Reviewing thousands of documents from the time, The Times reported that Biden preferred expanding affordable housing in suburbs as a tool of integration over busing, and that he teamed up with the famed segregationist Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina on an amendment that would take away the federal government's ability to withdraw funding as a punishment for school districts that did not sufficiently integrate their student bodies.
