| "Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy." |
He will be tested. I wonder why? Could it be because our enemies know he is weak? How nice! Another Jimmy Carter. I guess we get to hoist the white flags early this time.
If Obama can't handle the job, elect McCain who can handle it. Simple.

"It's totally within our wheelhouse. We can do this," Biden said confidently of the Democratic ticket's chances, before adding a note of caution. "But anybody who thinks that we're going to be elected, and all of a sudden, you know, the birds are going to start chirping and everything is going to come out is wrong."
At the Atherton home of former state comptroller Steve Westly, who made an unsuccessful bid for California governor two years ago, Biden joked with the audience about being the fourth most senior senator, but still being younger than 39 of his fellow lawmakers.
"I am getting so tired of this, I am the senior guy on the ticket. I can't stand it man," said the 65-year-old Biden, who then downplayed the veep slot to a member of the audience. "If I had known it was gonna get this way, John, I would have never left Senate chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee. You know, the vice presidency ain't much to begin with, you know what I mean?" |
It sure doesn't sound like Biden wants to win. And if he has such little regard for the office for which he is running, should he be rewarded with election to it?
BTW, you did know he is simultaneously running for re-election to the Senate, didn't you?
Biden makes 1988 Dan Quayle look like an amateur at this stuff!
