United States Democratic presidential hopeful, Barack Obama, has
made his first joint appearance with his choice of vice
presidential running mate, Senator Joe Biden.
Thousands of Democrat
supporters turned out in Springfield, Illinois, to cheer on their
presidential ticket. Obama praised the Delaware senator and said
together the two would take the country in a new direction. In his
pitch, Biden pointed to American economic and foreign policy
difficulties, saying the country needed to change its course.
Observers say Obama's choice of Biden, one of Washington's most
senior senators, makes up for a perceived deficit in Obama's
experience.
