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."

No need to be “sorry” . . . this is a GOLDEN opportunity. Biden and Obama need to be HAMMERED ON THIS. Who? What? When? Where? Why?

Back these SOBs into a corner with their own words. Don’t let up. Make them gird their own loins. (They can do each other with Chrissie’s help)

Either that, or call out Biden for blaming an Obama administration’s security failures on Bush before those failures even happen. They’re saying ‘Yeah, America’s enemies are going to do something really bad when we get elected, but it isn’t our (Obama/Biden’s) fault. We’re in office, but blame Bush!

Thanks Biden, you're the gaffe that keeps on giving...I cannot think of a better reason NOT to elect this a$$clown! We haven't been attacked since 9-11 under Bush.

THAT's The change they're offering.

Joe Biden...the walking GAFFE that keeeps on GIVING! McCain or some 527 group needs to use that!

What would be the reaction if Sarah Palin said something like this about McCain?

My bigger concern, is that no one will have to “attack” us under Obama. He will invite them in.

I’m happy my family and I don’t live in a city under obama and thank goodness I will not be in Israel

maybe those Jewish folk should come here and we’ll send them our Jewish liberals over there and lets see those liberals say we need to talk, let them experience rockets every day and see how the good people of Israel live.

why is he asking already for his supporters to stick with him on a not so popular decision?

course no media will ask this and business as usual for the biased media

“If the people of this country elect him, then we deserve whatever “crisis” we get and we deserve his wrongheaded reaction to it. Elections matter and have consequences. Change is not always change for the better or the right change.”

Your statement is what I call “Hitting the nail on the head.” Our country is in for it if this idol worship of a candidacy is successful. I have just about come to terms with it, though, and only hope that the sheeple come to their senses two years hence, once we’ve had a sample of what socialism can do to a free country. Or, is it too late: have we already created too big a dependent class to ever again hope for free enterprise and personal responsibility to make a comeback?

China will invade Taiwan—Obama will do nothing.

Iran will fire a nuclear missile at North Korea—Obama will do nothing.

North Korea will fire missiles at Japan—Obama, again, will do nothing.

Russia will invade Ukraine—Obama will still do nothing.

Nothing except call for diplomacy and understanding.

Obama will be criticized, Obama will implement the fairness doctrine.

Wow, he says, the next two years are going to be tough and you’re not going to understand why the polls are so low because of the decisions we have to make - but, stick with us -

Sounds like - hey - we’re about to take you for a ride - but, just an fyi, and don’t say we didn’t warn you, ok

This comes on the heels of classified security briefings of both camps. If Joe Biden spilled some bills, did he break the law????? He's such a klutz.

Can we connect the $150 million in September to this thread? Seems odd that Biden is telegraphing something so soon after all that money rolls in.
