Biden to Supporters: "Gird Your Loins", For the Next President "It's Like Cleaning Augean Stables"
ABC ^ | Oct 20, 2008 | Matthew Jaffe

Posted on 10/20/2008 6:16:45 AM PDT by RDTF

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."

He’s right about one thing - the world will quickly test the neophyte Obama.

So according to Biden, if Obama is elected something terrible will happen to America.

Interesting campaign strategy.

Joe is the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks for the soundbite admitting that Obama winning would jeopardize our security.

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”.

Exactly...he headed to the gym for a workout and said--hey, give me call if ya need me.

What is Biden saying here? Is he saying all the existing crisis will disappear when Obama is elected, and that a new crisis will be set upon Obama as we sit in the Amphitheater to watch him slay the Lion?

I’ll be rootin’ for the Lion.

“I thought Senator McCain was 72. “

Biden has it right.
When McCain/Palin are elected in November, McCain will have the energy he did at age 47.

They’re already setting the stage to blame the first 6 months of 0bama screw-ups on Bush. And the media will let them get away with it. Sickening.

I’ve been a member of Mensa for 35 years and I have yet to see a nominee for president of either party who I would classify as “brilliant.”

Actually they're giving cover to Obama to act like Bush for the first six months, when all the moonbats are going to be heartbroken that there's no hope and change.

The phrase is used throughout the bible, both OT and NT,

and refers to gathering up your robes so that you don’t trip while running or fighting.

Gird loins? Augean stables?
Those are so unBidenly, he couldn’t even have hired the writer who supplied those terms.
And are there some classics professors somewhere, whose votes he doesn’t yet have locked up?

Joe is telling everyone

Iran is going to cause problems in Iraq or elsewhere, and is going to need to be bombed.

You Cindy-Sheehan freaks out there - forget everything you hoped, and don’t start messing with the Messiah if he needs to respond.

Wasn't there an article on FR the other day about Obama being brief about terrrorist threats?

If so,seems like Biden doesn't know how to keep quiet about such things!

These two incompetents are not up to the job. And, yes, Joe, you will be tested. You may get away with your lies with your propagandist press here at home but our enemies sure as hell know what you are and our country will suffer for it.
