US Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has selected Deleware Senator Joe Biden as his running mate.

Biden said " This is no ordinary time, and this is no ordinary election. I plan to do everything I can to help Barack take back the White House. I don't need to tell you that John McCain will just bring us another four years of the same. You can't change America when you supported George Bush's policies 95% of the time. Barack has the vision and the courage to bring real change to Washington. But even he can't do this alone."
