Shortly after visiting US Vice President Joseph Biden stated in Beirut Friday, May 22, that his government would assess future aid to Lebanon according to the outcome of its June 7 general election, Moscow announced that foreign minister Sergei Lavrov would visit Damascus and Beirut on May 23-25. He would be meeting Syrian president Bashar Assad as well as the Lebanese president Michel Suleiman.
Biden, the highest-ranking US official to visit Lebanon in more than two decades, told a news conference after meeting president Suleiman that the Obama administration would "evaluate the shape of its assistance program based on the policies of the new government."

Please explain how the quote from Biden is in any way different from the accusations the Democrats made for nearly eight years about the Bush treatment of allies?
Biden is the best person the Democrats could send to the White House - he demonstrates every time he opens his mouth why he shouldn't be in the White House.
And if you can explain the difference, you have quite an imagination. You and Biden should collaborate.
