Morning Joe Panel just mentioned that Obama camp "furious" with Joe Biden and yanked him from trail

(MSNBC)

[DrHannibalLecter]

just heard on this on tv and DUmmies board is also melting down over this.

would anyone be able to speculate as to why this would have happened yesterday or today?

[lakeman]

my thought.

Obama will pull out of Iraq. Iran will swoop in and he will let them take it over. Ireal will then attack iran and the Straights will be shut down disrupting the flow of world oil. Obama will do nothing.

“I’m really torn about the sick Grandma thing. It would be awful to suspect Obama of bad intent...”

Don’t waste your time on guilt. Hussein has already made fun of his white grandmother (”typical white person”), so if anyone should be feeling guilt it’s Obama. He doesn’t give a crap about her; he’s using her. Even if she is at death’s door, he’s still using her.

[untrained skeptic]

If Obama were disqualified after the votes were cast and the States established their slates of Electors, I would guess that the electoral college would still decide who wins, but with their candidate disqualified I suspect Obama's electors could choose to vote for someone else.

If the Berg case were drug out, and Obama somehow won the vote in the electoral college, then he would be the president elect and it would be too late to go back and say the runner up (McCain / Palin) wins.

At that point the rules of Presidential succession would likely take over, and the loser in the last election isn't in the line of succession.

None of this has any real chance of happening.

I think McCain is going to pull out a win, if barely.

I find it unlikely that Obama won't be able to come up with some response to the Berg lawsuit that the courts will find acceptable, even if it is just a matter of shedding enough doubt that he is ineligible rather than truly proving his eligibility.

I suspect that there would have to be solid proof that he is ineligible at this point rather than Obama being forced to prove that he is eligible.

I hate to say it, but I think Smokin' Joe is not qualified to be president.

OK, I don't hate to say it.

[GOPJ]

Joe was only for “cover” anyhow. Obama doesn’t need nice old white guys for anything - look at the other people around him.

[Harry Wurzbach]

Didn’t Obama just the other day say, “Don’t under-estimate their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and screw this election up?”

Between his “spread the wealth” and Biden’s “Obama will be tested and you won’t be happy with his actions” I think they may have just seized on defeat.

Right. The amusing thing is they will have done so by telling the truth about themselves and their policies. You know the Obama campaign has to be furious with Biden. Here they have their 'October Surprise' lined up, the Colin Powell endorsement, which was supposed to solidify, once and for all, that Obama was prepared to be Commander in Chief of our nation's armed forces, and here we have Biden saying he's going to screw up and the world won't respect him. L O L!

Further, Obama is getting killed on his tax+welfare plan. He has discovered what many failed Democrat presidential campaigns that have come before have found out: tax increases don't sell. Tax increases on "the rich" don't sell.

They've been trying to 'wag the dog' with the polls and sucker the electorate into thinking that this election is over. That way the conservatives stay home and the Obama bandwagon goes to the polls. It's kinda funny that the Obama campaign doesn't have much faith in their own supporters showing up at the polls if it looks like he's behind, or even slightly ahead but in danger of losing.

I think Johnny Mac is in great shape. He needs to continue to hammer away at Obama on taxes, socialism, and readiness to lead. That's a tough combo for Obama to respond to. The sick typical white grannie is the most obvious ploy ever. If she was that bad off and it was that important to him he could've left already. I think a lot of people will see right through this. And if Obama's campaign ads are still running and his surrogates are still appearing then the campaign is still on.

According to the local news here in Charlotte, Biden is scheduled to visit Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Raleigh today.

[Brett66]

It’s interesting, you occasionally see a dem reveal that they do understand how the world works and Obama’s naivete will have major reprecussions in short order.

The Russians will try something, Putin will make Obama kiss his ring and Obama will think he did something great.

Iran will lob a missile at Israel and Obama will send his secretary of state to talk to them.

The whole region will explode and the man-child will be sucking his thumb in the corner of the whitehouse.

[anglian]

Obama always skips out when the questions get tough. He lets others do his dirty work for him. The heat was on. Taxes,spread the wealth etc. Joe the plumber saw to that.

[Charles Martel]

Biden said “Generated”....hmmmmm.....was OBOMBA planning on “generating” the crisis, handle it with aplomb, so it would look like he was TOTALLY capable of ANYTHING!!

I sure wouldn't put it past him. The media would eagerly spin *any* incident into foreign policy "street cred" for Obama.

[RepubRep]

Same grannie he dissed before — sharing space under The Bus with so many others. He’s black when it’s expedient, then he’s white when it’s expedient. When it comes to playing the race card, he’s an expert

Now do I have this right? They pulling Joe off the campaign. That one is heading toward the islands....Does that leaves the CLinton’s in charge?

Hmmmm

[GOPJ]

Biden told the truth - that's good for us...

[GOPJ]

Between his “spread the wealth” and Biden’s “Obama will be tested and you won’t be happy with his actions” I think they may have just seized on defeat.

These two "mistakes" were just Biden and Obama accidentally telling the truth.

[Maverick68]

“I’m really torn about the sick Grandma thing. It would be awful to suspect Obama of bad intent...”
No, it would be very reasonable to suspect him of bad intent. We are not talking about someone we disagree with ideologically, we are talking about a truly evil, lying man. Anyone who can stand on the floor of state assembly and argue against a bill that would provide basic, life-giving care to a baby that survived an abortion is EVIL, pure and simple. Obama is a piece of zhit, and I give him NO benefit of the doubt. Buck Ofama...

[over3Owithabrain]

McCain camp needs to hammer this. They should say “With all the talk over Sarah Palin’s qualifications, perhaps the focus should be on Joe Biden. Do we really want a man so reckless and dangerous with his words that his OWN campaign has to censor him and suspend his activities. If his own running mate cannot trust him, how can America trust him to be one step away from being our leader?”

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[Hacklehead]

“Now do I have this right? They pulling Joe off the campaign. That one is heading toward the islands....”

The Obama campaign looks “erratic” and disorganized. Obama stayed on the campaign trail during the financial mess, but leaves cause granny is ill. What’s more important, granny’s health or the US?

[School of Rational Thought]

Not qualified to campaign, but qualified to be a heartbeat from the presidency.
