Joe Biden and Barack Obama do not have AIDS

[Tex]

Anyone catch the debate last night? I confess I forgot to Tivo it, but I heard about this on the radio.

Just when I think Biden has run out of unintentionally funny things to say, he does something like this. I love a system that lets a guy like this be a senator. LOL.

Sen. Barack Obama, the only African-American candidate on the stage, blamed "homophobia" and other stigmas for the failure to stop the spread of the disease in "our communities" -- an assertion followed quickly by an admiring reminder from Sen. Joseph Biden that Obama himself had been tested for AIDS.

That prompted Obama to jump in immediately and clarify that he had done so with his wife, Michelle, at his side, as a public demonstration of the importance of AIDS testing while on a trip to Africa.

"I've just got to make it clear, I got tested with Michelle when we were in Kenya and Africa," Obama said, as his wife waved her arms in the audience and nodded her head in agreement. "I don't want there to be any confusion about what happened here."

The exchange came to a close only after Biden mentioned that he recently went around his hometown "trying to get black men to understand it is not unmanly to wear a condom."

Tex you can watch the debate on pbs.org. That was a really funny exchange.

Hillary got a standing O.

Some new issues they hadn't discussed before.

They sure were all in a tizzy over the Supreme Court ruling.
