From TradeReform.org Biden paraphrased:
"A president's job is to create jobs not export them."
"We need to enforce trade agreements."
"I would call another Plaza Conference like in the 1980's. ... Chinese manipulate their currency by 40%, and we do nothing about it."
"They [Chinese] need our market a lot more than we need them to buy our T Bills. A lot more. Why don't we get tough."
"Why don't we enforce agreements relating to piracy in China? We don't do anything."
"If you look at my record I used to be a free trader, but now I'm really a fair trader."
"Why are we afraid of these guys?"
"We won't even vote to sanction China for human rights violations because we fear offending them. That promotes the mindset in China that they don't have to abide by international ruleswww.tradereform.org/content/view/1059/48

He'll hopefully have some influence on the election, and on Obama.

Is this the same Biden who had the worst labor record of all Democrats in the primary. Yes, and the same Biden, who more or less wrote the bankruptcy law. Here is another item on why Obama will not "re write" the trade agreements. www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13250.html
