Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin added more detail today to the GOP critique of Barack Obama using his running mate's prediction that a President Obama would be tested by an international crisis.
"Did you hear what Senator Biden said at a fundraiser on Sunday?" Palin asked supporters in Reno, Nev. "He guaranteed that if Barack Obama is elected, well face an international crisis within the first six months of their administration. He told Democrat donors to mark his words that there were 'at least four or five scenarios' that would place our country at risk in an Obama administration. I guess we've got to say, 'Thanks for the warning, Joe!' "
"He didnt specify what all those four or five scenarios will be, but for clues, lets review the Obama foreign policy agenda," she said, not mentioning that Biden also said that Obama would pass those tests.
She cited Obama's pledge to meet with rogue leaders without preconditions, though he has softened that vow. "Lets call that crisis scenario number one," Palin said.

Gotta like the short skirt thing goin' on.
ooopps did i stick my foot in my mouth again
how the hell did delaware reelect this idiot over & over
She’s kicking Pinky’s (Biden) tail again today!
Ahhh, Joe, Joe my old friend.
I knew you’d come through. I just knew it.
(Now for the equally damaging retraction/explanation)
LMAO at crisis number 5!
Awesome
She said: Thanks for the warning Joe. LOL.
The exception proves the rule.
Pass or fail is irrelevant, Foon. That it would happen at all, is the issue.
She kicked his rear per the article. Even the author ran out of dnc responses rather early.
Biden has said something that is CORRECT!!!!
Thanks, Joe!
However, National Review sources this to the McCain/Palin campaign:
Two weeks from today, Americans will be asked to cast their vote for the next president of the United States. Theres no time to wait. Lets get right to it.

Our opponent wants to sit down with the worlds worst dictators. With no preconditions, he proposes to meet with a regime in Teheran that vows to wipe Israel off the map. Lets call that crisis scenario number one.
Senator Obama has also advocated sending our U.S. military into Pakistan without the approval of the Pakistani government. Invading the sovereign territory of a troubled partner in the war against terrorism. Well call that scenario number two.
He opposed the surge strategy that has finally brought victory in Iraq within sight. Hes voted to cut off funding for our troops, leaving our young men and women at grave risk. He wants to pull out, leaving some 25 million Iraqis at the mercy of Iranian-supported Shiite extremists and al Qaeda in Iraq. By his own admission, this could mean our troops would have to go back to Iraq. Crisis scenario number three.
After the Russian army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obamas reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence the kind of response that would only encourage Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine next. That would be crisis scenario number four.
But I guess the looming crisis that most worries the Obama campaign right now is Joe Bidens next speaking engagement. Lets call that crisis scenario number five.
The real problem is that these warnings from Joe Biden are similar to his earlier assessment of Barack Obama. It wasnt so long ago that he said Barack Obama wasnt up to the job, and that, quote, the presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.
The same Joe Biden said he would be honored to run on the ticket with John McCain because, quote, the country would be better off. And here we have some common ground. I want a president who spent 22 years in uniform defending our country. I want a president who isnt afraid to use the word victory when he talks about the wars we are fighting. I want a president whos ready on Day One. I want a president with the experience and the judgment and the wisdom to meet the next international crisis or better yet to avoid it. I want John McCain as our commander-in-chief.
Yes, how could it be “worth it” to invite attacks by our enemies?
And if it’s a terrorist attack, how many civilians will be sacrificed in order to have the historic event of a “higher than average skin melanin content” president?
Palin is on FIRE!!
Between Biden and Murtha, Obama should be having a great week! Wasn’t there some guy named Bowell in the news earlier this week?
it dont work for her. she always looks horrid. some one needs to give her a make over, if she wants to whoopass on pelosi. and i want her to! she may be a annoying twit, but she would do far less damage than pelosi.
Missed it. What did Murtha say?
Two weeks out, hammering Obama on taxes, welfare, and inexperience. McCain-Palin are right where they need to be. The Obama campaign looks like it’s in disarray. Now they’ve had to put Biden back in his cage for a while. They trot out Albright as yet another esteemed foreign policy mind and she proceeds to step in the same mess Biden did.
The Obama campaign just wiped out the benefit of the ‘October Suprise’ of Colin Powell’s endorsement.
Don’t let up! And keep up the Joe the Plumber/Tito the Builder/Jack the...whatever attacks. The GOP has a great opportunity to solidify itself as the party that doesn’t look down on the working man’s dreams, unlike the party of Wall Street, the Democrats.
