ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.

"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "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."

I spoke too soon. Someone posted this story in the DUmp right before I posted, and that person is getting soundly thrashed by the DUmmies. They are like those cat pictures that say "do not want!", except nowhere near as cute. LOL!

Seems to me that Biden knows something that maybe formulating with regards to Russia or the Middle East. Hopefully the McCain campaign has capitalized on this, and is using its little resources from public funds to post this out as an attack ad. McCain’s own liberal policies that he has supported is going to come around and bite him.

Swipe! I'm keeping that.

[SunkenCiv]

I should check that, I think I’ve just coined it too. ;’)

LOL
(but sad, really)

“What’s he gonna do if Israel attacks Iran, or vice versa?”

I’m sure one of his Commie mentors will set him on the right path. (or put him in a room with a loaded 45)

[Mr. K]

geez, no wonder is nickname is ‘slow Joe’

[wolfcreek]

That’s because a presidential candidate must have a charismatic personality to boot. (or a bunch of dimwitted followers)

“he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions”

We’ll get to see what would have happened if the RATs had been in charge during 9-11: gun seizures, lockdowns, martial law, etc.

[xmission]

I guess this could explain how every country would show up against Israel....

[xmission]

Pinging that list. WOW!

"Gird your loins," Biden told the crowd. "We're gonna win with your help, God willing, we're gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It's like cleaning the Augean stables, man."

Oh God love ya, Joe, what are you talking about? The Obamamaniacs probably think "gird your loins" means they should use condoms, and the Augean stables is the name of a new rock band. Idiot.

Weirdest

election

ever

[HighlyOpinionated]

Thud.

Huh? I'm 64 years old. I know good looking when I see it. And I like bald or balding heads on mature men with crooked smiles and twinkles in their eyes.

[nonsporting]

Look for O-Brother to manufactur a crisis. A holy crusade will be launched against all sources of hate (race, gender, religion). We will long for days of Bill Clinton.

[Tax-chick]

“Thud” is a FReeponym representing the sound of a FReepette hitting the floor at the sight of Vice President Cheney. I think he’s terribly cute, too, and I’m 42.

[combat_boots]

Biden’s words translated....”Barack will have sell out Israel within 6 months.”

[RDTF]

i think it may have started with Netanyahu

[Tax-chick]

Netanyahu got the Picture Rule (and the Thud, I guess) but we’ve been ogling Mr. Cheney for more years.
