National Security: Biden's warning that Obama's lack of experience will prompt tyrants and terrorists to "test" him within the first six months can only be seen one way — as a confirmation of our worst fears.
In other words, Americans are supposed to be patient and supportive while an obviously unqualified president learns on the job. He's so inexperienced in military and world affairs, in fact, that his presidency is guaranteed to invite conflict from America's enemies.
Biden's candid remarks merely prove that Obama is not ready to be commander in chief.
Obama's No. 2 seems to be admitting that his 47-year-old boss wouldn't really know what to do if Iran struck Israel or if Russia invaded the Ukraine. He's admitting that he might make mistakes responding to a crisis in the Taiwan Strait. But we ought to vote for him anyway.
There is one thing Obama is certain of, however, and that's the need to gut the military and dismantle our nuclear arsenal.
Last year he promised a left-wing pacifist group in Iowa that he would waste little time slashing both conventional and nuclear weapons as president.
"I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems," Obama said. "I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Review is not used to justify unnecessary defense spending."

Can anyone explain to me how to gird my loins. Joe Biden said I should, and if Obama gets elected I don’t want to get caught with my pants down or my loins ungirded.
What john really needs is a miracle .
Because they want to come in and carve us up for themselves!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
John doesn’t need training wheels. Barry needs training pants.
He's not getting a miracle. He doesn't need it. He's getting Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania.
What he really needs is your vote.
Well I’m glad you liked my comment, but that hardly helps me gird my loins! :-)
Take a look here http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=37414 at what the Hillary folks think Biden meant. I think they might be right.
Wonder how much of the college vote Obama would lose if they knew? Male and female, mind you.
Obama Quote, Sept. 11, 2008:
“But it’s also important that a president speaks to military service as an obligation not just of some, but of many. You know, I traveled, obviously, a lot over the last 19 months. And if you go to small towns, throughout the Midwest or the Southwest or the South, every town has tons of young people who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s not always the case in other parts of the country, in more urban centers. And I think it’s important for the president to say, this is an important obligation. If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some.”

I was thinking more along the lines of photoshoping Nobama's head onto a picture of Pee Wee Herman riding his bike!
Now THAT would be funny.....
“Can anyone explain to me how to gird my loins.”
Bill Clinton would know.
(Oh, that would be “grab the loins.” Sorry.)
Like other democrats...
That would be "grab the groins," actually. Beyond that, I don't want to know what his technique is.
Amen. Amen. Amen, bother!
Great side-by-side comparisons. Thanks!
