"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
Cline pointed to a Microsoft Surface 3$599.00 at Walmart.com with enthusiasm. "To me, it's the most impressive out of the lineup I'm going to show you," Cline said. "Especially the Pro version$1,115.25 at Amazon. The graphics power behind it, the screen resolution, is all superb."
