“I think Joe sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes.”

Best way I have heard about any Democrat.

[Genoa]

Gaffes and lies are now redefined as “rhetorical flourishes.” LOL!

[anniegetyourgun]

Was so funny to hear Barry say that about his running mate this morning! His “nice” way of saying that Joe is often full of crap.

[autumnraine]

Wow, that Barack Obama sure is articulate!

[rahbert]

Next time I pass gas it will be a rhetorical flourish..

[impeachedrapist]

engages in rhetorical flourishes.

That's Marxist talk for "lies and plagiarizes".

[Jeff Head]

Time to flush the rhetorical flourisher and the man who chose him.

Yea! I hope he doesnt have a “rhetorical flourishing” moment when he is talking to Presidents and Ambassadors of other countries....Geez...are you kidding me!!!

These guys are the best Democrats have!!!OMG....true colors

[NoGrayZone]

Democrat Barack Obama said today there is no reason to believe that he is more likely to be tested by an international crisis if elected than if rival John McCain

I call bulls&*%!!

[SMCC1]

Sounds like a “wardrobe malfunction”

[Puddleglum]

Was Biden properly vetted? What does his selection say about Obama’s judgment? [plus whatever else they said when McCain selected Palin]

I am not kidding when I say that the thought of Biden being one heartbeat away from the presidency fills me with dread. The man is not all there.

“I think Joe sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes.”

And how is that going to work for us in a tense international situation or delicate conversations with heads of state at dinner parties?....I’m just sayin’.

(I want every political ad to end with: “I’m just sayin’”)

[reagan_fanatic]

And the press will accept 0bama’s explanation with nary a second thought or critique.

It’s nice to have allies.

[SueRae]

Is that what they’re calling it? Remind me to look it up in the Leftie dictionary, right after the term ‘inartful’. What a maroon. A slick maroon but a maroon nontheless.

Nice try Barry, ya loser.

[StevieB]

Do you get the feeling that the Chosen One wishes that Joe had spent the campaign season sequestered in Dick Cheney's secret hidden location?

[The Shrew]

He (Obama) was responding to a question about an assertion by his running mate, Joe Biden, over the weekend. "Mark my words," Biden had said. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking."

The obvious question from a real reporter would be, "Senator Obama, Did you factor in your running-mate's rhetorical flourishes when you picked him to be your Vice-President? And a follow up please, Doesn't such a statement, which is just another of Senator Biden's innumerable gaffes over the course of his Senate career, justify the Republican's criticism of your bad judgement and inexperience?"

I'll find my own way out. Thank you.

That wasn’t a gaffe. That was The Lord putting the truth into Bidens mouth.

Keep up the prayers folks!

[RichInOC]

That’s one way of putting it, Barry. I suppose. If Sarah Palin (or John McCain) were indulging in that that sort of “rhetorical flourish”, you (and your lapdog press gaggle) would call it “erratic babbling”.
