Election '08: Barack Obama picks a loose-lipped running mate who voted for the Iraq War and questioned his readiness. Obama says he wants a veep who'll challenge him. Instead, he got one who'll need to tutor him.
Obama, the outsider candidate of change and hope has picked one of the few people who has been in Washington longer than John McCain. This is hardly the "change" Obama promised.
Biden, 65, was first elected to represent Delaware in 1972. Obama was 11. John McCain was dwelling in one of his many homes, the Hanoi Hilton.
Biden was picked to provide Obama foreign policy expertise and Biden, for one, thinks Obama needs it. He's said so.
Of Obama's pledge to invade Pakistan if necessary to fight terror, Biden said, "It's a very naive way of thinking how you're going to conduct foreign policy." He added: "Having talking points on foreign policy doesn't get you there."
Biden is not a man of few words and occasionally feels the need to borrow some. In 1987, Biden was a credible presidential candidate until the moment he lifted passages from a speech by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock.

Adding Biden to the ticket doesn’t in any way make up for Bambi’s lack of experience, because Bambi still lacks experience. Biden has it, but it doesn’t do squat for Bambi’s lack of it, except to prove how little the twit has.
Biden isn’t even in the top ten dimmest bulbs in the U.S. Senate. But he is probably in the top 20. This makes him a perfect tutor for Obama.
The empty suit believes that the Presidency is a on the job training and he wants Biden to train him
Bwahahahahaha
Barack Obama is not ready for prime time and electing him president may be the biggest mistake of all. But that's not us speaking it's Obama's running mate, Joe Biden.
