Obama responds to question about how it feels to be the nominee (not
sure how much of this is on cam)
"Great week and I'm really pleased with Joe Biden. You know, our
families have just really hit it off. We had some of his grandkids over
for a sleepover with Malia and Sasha and they- they just had a great
time. I'm absolutely convinced that Joe Biden is the right person to
help move this country in the direction where working families have a
shot."
Then outside the Hyatt in Pittsburgh
