“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell you what I think you already know, but I watch it up close—bravery resides in the heart of Barack Obama. And time and time again, I witnessed him summon it. This man has courage in his soul, compassion in his heart, and a spine of steel. And because of all the actions he took, because of the calls he made, because of the determination of American workers—and the unparalled bravery of our special forces—we can now proudly say what you've heard me say the last six months: Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive!”
—Vice President Joe Biden
