Biden to Supporters: "Gird Your Loins",
abcnews ^ | 10/20/08 | Matthew Jaffe

Posted on 10/20/2008 9:43:57 AM PDT by tomnbeverly

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.

"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."

"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. "And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

Well, Joe, this is hardly a shock. I could have told you this six months ago, as could most conservatives. If the US elects Obama president, we’re basically going to be inviting an attack from our enemies, either upon ourselves or upon our allies.

But that’s OK in the Dems view, it appears. ‘By whatever means necessary and the hell with the consequences’ seems to be the motto from the left these days.

I am sorry to say this but the McCain camp needs to use this to their advantage. They need to remind the security moms of September 11th and that we live in the very dangerous world that brought us September 11th. We’ve gotten fat and happy again and think we can risk an Obama presidency. This is the perfect opportunity to beat this drum back into the mind of the voters.

But what does Biden mean? He is speaking to His supporters...Does he mean that Obama will swing to the right i.e., pre-emptive strikes and how that will be viewed as a negative to his base? or is he saying that he will go milquetoast response to any crisis and let it flame out of control while he negotiates with the failure called the UN?

I think this needs direct questioning, Open window for McCain

But I thought Obama was at the top of the ticket? Who's this brilliant 47-year-old senator he's talking about?

So when he pulls a hitler and declares totalitarian rule, just remember, it’s for our own good and support it, ok everyone? After all, it’s just an international test, and we can trust him, right?

Seriously, what IS Biden smoking?

I suppose if Obama is the antichrist (the beast), then that would make Biden his false prophet. It all makes perfect sense.
And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. - Revelation 13:14

The phrase that keeps repeating in my head about Obama supporters and the MSM is: “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”
