Biden:
"Osama
bin
Laden is
dead and
General
Motors
is
alive."
DETROIT
(Tell Us
USA) -
Vice
President
Joe
Biden
spoke in
front of
about
1100
supporters
at
Renaissance
Detroit
High
School
during a
campaign
event in
Michigan.
Biden
told the
crowd on
Wednesday
that if
he had
to sum
up
President
Barack
Obama's
first
term
with a
bumper
stick,
he would
focus on
two
results:
"Osama
bin
Laden is
dead and
General
Motors
is
alive,
That
about
sums it
up,
man."
Meanwhile,
at a
high
school
in North
Las
Vegas,
Nevada,
President
Barack
Obama's
focus
was
education.
The
president
on
Wednesday
said if
his GOP
presidential
challenger
Mitt
Romney
had his
way,
education
budgets
would be
cut by
20
percent,
thousands
of laid
off
teachers
wouldn't
be
rehired,
and
student
class
sizes
would
grow,
handicapping
America's
future
leaders.
"I'm
standing
here as
president
because
I had a
bunch of
great
teachers,"
Obama
said,
speaking
at
Canyon
Springs
High
School
in North
Las
Vegas to
a crowd
of more
than
2,700
supporters
who
roared
their
approval.
"Teachers
matter.
They're
on the
front
lines of
our
future."
Obama's
27-minute
speech
was
interrupted
often by
cheering
fans,
screams
of
support
and
chants
of "four
more
years!"
Two
protesters
who
apparently
tried to
interrupt
the
rally
also
were
dragged
out of
the
school
gymnasium
by
security,
but the
president
all but
ignored
the
brief
disruption.
Vice
President
Joe
Biden
traveled
to metro
Detroit
on
Wednesday
to fire
up the
troops
and
offer a
contrast
between
the
Republican
and
Democratic
presidential
tickets.
“The
country
is going
to face
one of
the
starkest
choices
in my
memory,”
he told
more
than
1,000
people
at
Renaissance
High
School
in
Detroit.
“There’s
no
wondering
who
stands
where or
what
direction
this
country
is going
to go.”
Biden,
who also
was
scheduled
to
attend
fundraisers
in
Detroit
and West
Bloomfield,
said
that
Republican
presidential
candidate
Mitt
Romney
is a
decent,
family
man,
“But I
disagree
with him
on
almost
everything."
