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."

And, Oblama’s gonna generate it!
Fair Antigua and Barbuda!
We thy sons and daughters stand
Strong and firm in peace or danger
To safeguard our Native Land
We commit ourselves to building
A true nation brave and free;
Ever striving, ever seeking,
Dwell in love and unity
Raise the standard! Raise it boldly!
Answer now to duty’s call
To the service of thy country,
Sparing nothing, giving all;
**Gird your loins** and join the battle
‘Gainst fear, hate and poverty,
Each endeavouring, all achieving,
Live in peace where man is free.
God of nations, let Thy blessings
Fall upon this land of ours;
Rain and sunshine ever sending,
Fill her fields with crops and flowers;
We her children do implore Thee,
Give us strength, faith, loyalty,
Never failing, all enduring
To defend her liberty.
Why would we if he was so wise and exhibited great judgment? You mean certain dictators in the world would actually transgress against The One?
I'll remember THAT , Joe.........
What crisis could Obama face? Virtually all of America’s enemies support him. If he faces a crisis it will be with the American people.
But its a moot point anyway, he will NOT be elected.
And because the security of the nation will be at risk, Obama will be able to explain away every one of his "current" campaign promises and raise taxes. This will merely be an excuse to implement the left wing platform.
Unpopular decsions? Like open the borders wide open to Islamic countries for Obama and Powell’s paymasters the Saudis? So they can export Islam to America enmasse with open borders? Build a few thousands mosques in America like the Saudis have done in Europe?
They did that to England now known as Englandistan. England is dead. 1,000 years of civilization gone in two decades and a little Saudi money to buy a few politicians and spread political correctness.
Everybody - Volunteer & Donate.
Make sure we are all at local McCain HQ helping out with GOTV the weekend before the election. If you are retired - volunteer now. Ignore the polls.
I thought Senator McCain was 72.
OK - who did slow Joe plagiarize “Gird your loins” from!
Rogue/enemy nations don’t “test” a president that they don’t see as weak.
A crisis so big that talking will not solve it... Putin is enjoying this.
Satan himself quotes scripture when it serves his purposes.
Ooops- Joe Biden is late again- we’re in the middle of a crisis- global markets are on a roller coaster. We’ve watched how Obama has handled it. Barely “present”.
With Biden, it's hard to know what he is getting at. Is Biden saying the islamists are going to assassinate obama like they did JFK? President Biden...yikes!
Not surprisingly, this is a sexist statement. “Gird your loins” comes from Roman days. It means to tie up your undergarments so any. let’s say “jostling”, is minimized during battle.
Sarah should ask Joe what women should do to prepare for an Obama presidency.
Barney Frank?!!
What's he gonna do if Israel attacks Iran, or vice versa, in the middle of his Inaugural bacchanalia? That conflict is reaching a head, and it won't be on his timetable.
I guess that’s why the FBI is vetting both campaigns so they can be given security clearance. They said it was because we fear aq will attempt something between the election and the inauguration. I would say they would never try anything against Mac but 0 yes!!
So now 0bama is like John Kennedy again. I thought he was the new Jesus.
Why is 0bama going to be tested? If anything the enemies of America will go easy oh him because they certainly don’t want to embarrass him. Wait until America is weak, then they will strike.
If there is to be an incident within the US I fear it would be early on though, so then 0bama can still blame Bush.
