Biden: Obama’s inexperience will prompt nations to test us

Joe Biden continues to try to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for Barack Obama. In a stunning statement, Biden acknowledged that Obama’s lack of foreign-policy experience will provoke America’s enemies into creating an international crisis. Biden apparently thinks this is just terrific:

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.”

"Because if you think the decision is sound when they're made, which I believe you will when they're made, they're not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not sound."

An endorsement for Bush too?

After speaking for just over a quarter of an hour, Biden noticed the media presence in the back of the small ballroom. "I probably shouldn't have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here," he joked.

The reality of what Joe had said suddenly dawns on him.

Why do people think Palin is too inexperienced, but BIDEN is ready to be president on Day One? WHY???

I’d like to see a commercial in which you see a media head saying that Palin is not ready to be President, but that Biden is ready on Day 1.

Then I’d like to see all of Biden’s famous gaffes, one after another, and end it with a fabulous clip of Palin.

McCain campaign, why not? Biden is a gift to you.

That’s along the lines of what I was thinking.

“We need you Obamabots to help control or snitch on the idiot masses while The One suspends the Constitution for your own good”.

Scary.

McCain commercial

Iranian Hostage crisis. Khomeini plays Carter like 5 cent tin whistle because he knows Carter is a gutless wonder.

Reagan gets elected. For some reason negotiations with the Iranians get a WHOLE lot easier. Minutes after Reagan sworn in hostages released.

Let’s skip all the initial crisis BS and elect a real leader!

Ya mean like declaring Martial Law? Huh Joe?

I heard this today on Glenn Beck's radio show. Did Rush "touch" this today? Sean is all over it and says the McCain Camp has responded. IMO, they need to get an ad out NOW that says:

"JOE BIDEN SAYS AMERICA WILL BE ATTACKED WITHIN 6 MONTHS IF OBAMA ELECTED"

Can this be a deal changer for the McCain Campaign? I think so, if the McCain Campaign plays it right.

What say you folks?

Nobama is brilliant? Yeah, he MUST be to bamboozle millions into voting for him, a man of absolutely no usable skill to use in the White House. What in heck is wrong with America? Maybe we deserve this baby senator.

I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis - and it wasn't fun. We came close to all out nuclear war...

Yeah but we got to go home early from school, and had cool drills where we hid under our desk. Also, the textbooks in those days really slammed the commies.....now they glorify them.
