Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joe Biden took to the airwaves this week to "help" the rookie Barack Obama out of a foreign-policy jam. Oh sure, admitted Mr. Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee had given the "wrong" answer when he said he'd meet unconditionally with leaders of rogue states. But on the upside, the guy "has learned a hell of a lot."
Somewhere Mr. Obama was muttering an expletive.

Joe Biden earlier on Obama:
His remarks about Obama, the only African-American serving in the Senate, drew the most scrutiny.
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
What an idiot Biden is.

"I mean, you got the first light-skinned African-American who can lie like silk, and practices personal hygiene, and sends a tingle down Chris Matthews' leg," Biden said. "I mean, that's a fairy tale, man."
His nickname is SLOW JOE BIDEN...he gets it honestly.
You better tremble, since the WSJ identifies Susan Rice as his senior foreign policy advisor:
Holey Moley, Batman — She’s the one who refused to accept Sundan’s offer to hand over Osama Bin Laden.

All I can say is that in this day and age we certainly don’t need a Commander and Chief who needs on the job training or who’ll do it on the fly. Senator Greenhorn needs to be pounded into oblivion on this.
I hope Obama keeps talking too...the more he talks, the more amazed I am that he knows so little. I have to wonder if he’s ever taken courses in Western Civilization or World History? Hmmmm, maybe that’s no longer required at Harvard...
From the article you posted: “Mr. McCain has every intention of running his opponent through the complete foreign-policy gamut. Explain again in what circumstances you’d use nuclear weapons? What was that about invading Pakistan? How does a policy of engaging the world include Mr. Ahmadinejad, but not our ally Colombia and its trade pact?
It explains too the strong desire among the McCain camp to get Mr. Obama on stage for debates soon. There’s a feeling Mr. Obama is still climbing the foreign-policy learning curve. And they see mileage in his issuing a few more gut reactions.”

I am really beginning to wonder what is required at any university now! A quick glance at Michelle Obama’s Princeton thesis makes it obvious she was granted an unearned degree and if you watch “Are You Smarter Than a Figth Grader” a few times you begin to realize that almost without exception the contestants who have advanced degrees do very poorly. A recent example is a man with a doctorate who missed this simple question,”If a pound of something costs forty eight cents what does five eighths of a pound cost?” The answer popped into my head in about two seconds but this man fumbled around thinking out loud, almost got it right and then talked himself out of it.
As far as Barack is concerned I suspect he, like his wife, has the degree but lacks the education it is supposed to represent. If I needed someone to help me figure out how to solve problems I would take any local redneck over age fifty who has a high school diploma before I would consider Obama and I would certainly trust his instincts about world affairs more than I would those of Barack Huckster Obama.
“If I needed someone to help me figure out how to solve problems I would take any local redneck over age fifty who has a high school diploma before I would consider Obama and I would certainly trust his instincts about world affairs more...”
I totally agree with you on this. I have learned that common sense is a lot more common with most “rednecks” than it is with those who take pride in the fact that they are more “educated.” They seem to be able to SEE “cause and effect” a lot more clearly.
