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."

Ironic, isn’t it, that the Bible says we should “gird our loins with TRUTH” .... something of which Obama/Biden seems to be in short supply.

That line of thinking leads down some very ugly roads.

But it is a standard leftie tactic. How many times has a leftie spray-painted her car to generate sympathy? Or left a noose somewhere to provoke rage against conservatives?

Think who these people are - Ayers wishing he'd planted more bombs? The liberal agenda which involves suppression of free speech and political opposition? An agenda which would be roundly rejected by the majority of Americans - how do you think they would LIKE to get that through?

It's not the THINKING that leads down the ugly roads. If this guy is elected just sit tight and keep your eyes and ears wide open.

I’m sorry Joe, I do not understand. If I vote for 0bama there will be an Islamofascist attack on our country? So why would I vote for him?

And where exacly would I buy these “girds” for my loins? WalMart?

“What crisis could Obama face?”

Oklahoma declares sovereignty from the federal government.

I think he means “girders.” You have to go to a construction-supply wholesaler. And the best price on loins is at Costco, unless you know a hog farmer.

It means Obama will declare a national emergency and institute martial law.

This is a curious statement. All the Democrats are gravely concerned about are domestic "enemies" in which case this phrase makes sense. Perhaps the poster who suspected that moving against Israel is being contemplated is correct.

I remember that was the only movie where I ever heard “Gird Your Loins” mentioned.

Can be heard more recently in "The Devil Wears Pravda" -- the fashion assistant Nigel shouts it when boss Miranda is early, I found it an odd warning, since he was providing it to a bunch of chicks in high heels.

If bambi is elected Israel will attack Iran before he takes office so as to ensure support from the US.

So the dems are going to use a False Flag operation to kill Americans and fan Comrade Zero’s support?

* Lessons from the Left -— Chapter One on Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Yup. It can be used both ways. I hope the left enjoys it.

My take on this: Both campaigns have been briefed on national security matters. Biden knows that we well get into a conflict with Iran, sooner rather than later. He is preparing his audience for the probability that we will have to take out Iran’s nuclear weapons program. So Biden is hinting at JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis vs. Obama and Iran. Obama and Biden are wrong about many things but even they must realize that we cannot afford to let Iran start a nuclear war. They have no doubt been briefed about some scary, top secret info about Iran. Biden and Obama are at least intelligent enough to know that something will have to be done, so Biden is appealing to the moonbats to trust them.

Please support Dear Leader when he suspends the Constitution and confiscates all guns and shuts down Fox News Channel.

If I read the tale correctly, Hercules merged and diverted two rivers through the stables, which quickly flushed out the debris, much to the consternation of King Augeus.

(In other words, Obama will now apparently be acting as a Plumber...)
