It’s probably code for “mental issues.”

I mean, it’s bad enough that Biden’s esteemed foreign policy record is laughable, yet frightening when you consider this is who would be mentoring young Barack through his first term. But now it’s clear that Biden isn’t all there.

“Oh, that’s just Joe being Joe” isn’t enough. Biden is defective.

CNN should be ashamed. And Obama is such a liar.

Obama said, “You know I think that Joe sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes, but I think that his core point was that the next administration is going to be tested regardless of who it is.”

No, Mr. Obama, you are lying to cover up the truth! Obama does not have the maturity or experience to be President.

Joe Biden said this:

“Mark my words, 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.”

Obama is a liar. Obama is lying when he said that Biden meant this warning — regardless of who was elected.

Biden said:

(1) It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama.

(2) “Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Hello —— Biden said THIS GUY, Obama, will be tested.

How much more CLEAR could Biden have been. He is saying that Obama will be tested — not McCain if he is elected. He said Obama will be tested, mark HIS words. “Gird your loins,” Biden told the crowd.

Our Country is going to be tested, to see if Obama has the mettle.

How can the press/tv ignore this????? How can CNN just gloss over this?

Obama is so full of it — The truth is not in him.

Pray for God’s Will be done and for God to bless America.

Based on the state of things in America today, it's either a code phrase for "black" or "Obama".

If you're not black, liberal or stupid (redundant to "liberal"), you can't win.

The only upside of a N0bama/Plugs administration: four years of rimshots (and possible destruction of the left due to over-reaching).

Bill Ayers was just engaging in “rhetorical flourishes” when he said they “didn’t do enough” and that we was a Communst and anarchist, right?

Rhetorical flourishes is one of my favorite catch phrases.

It means, BS! Obama and Biden are two masters of BS.

I've even used it to describe you on occasion, Ms. Zito. ;^)

Actually, as someone who considers herself a writer of sorts, the term “rhetorical flourish” to describe Biden’s recent revelation of an ominous future for the newly elected Barack OBama is quite clever.

Obama is a damn good speaker. In fact he’s way better than any Republican charged with conversing with the public since...well only Newt Gingrich was as good. Not Dubya....nope, nope. Not Bob Dole....nah. McCain....nope. Bush Sr? Nope. The pubbies would own the planet if they’d get a decent public speaker out leading the world. Or maybe no one told the pubs that public speaking skills are a major part of being a good politician?

But hell yeah...rhetorical flourishes....good term. Means that Biden kind of expanded on the scenario he laid out. Gives OBama a way to back out by saying this mythical test of his military grit applies to ALL newly elected presidents. By a “rhethorical flourish” Biden developed the scene up to the Obama presidency or so Barack claims.

Obama is a good speaker and by me, he’s no dummy. His vocabulary is top notch. You don’t get a good vocabulary unless you read a lot.

Which is not to say he’s not a zero. Cause he is.

But he is certainly not stupid.
