Biden speaks at South Florida fundraisers

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Vice President Joe Biden said President Barack Obama inherited a "god-awful mess" when he took office in January.

Biden spoke for about a half hour Thursday afternoon at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Boca Raton. The vice president said the economy is getting better but acknowledged that overall improvement isn't necessarily helping individuals in high foreclosure areas, like Florida, California and Arizona.

About 60 people attended the event, with tickets at $1,000, $10,000 and $30,000.

Another 150 people attended a Thursday evening fundraiser in Miami Beach. Biden touted his decades of political experience, assuring supporters that he and the president are prepared to meet the country's many challenges.
