John McCain in Joe Biden biography by Jules Witcover

On War & Peace: 2008: No one has supported Bush in Iraq more than I have

As Obama's new running mate, Biden immediately took on the traditional running mate's role as a critic of the opposition party's nominee, linking Republican John McCain with George W. Bush, the embattled lame-duck president. After describing McCain as "genuinely a friend of mine" and a courageous war hero, Biden said, "you can't change America and end this war in Iraq when you declare--and again these are John's words--"No one has supported President Bush in Iraq more than I have.'" Biden added, "You can't change America when you know your first four years as president will look exactly like the last eight years of George Bush's presidency."
