Joe Biden: Elect Obama and We’ll Have an International Crisis
Joe Biden:
Elect Obama and
“Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis”
“I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I’m not being falsely humble with you.”
–Joe Biden at Seattle Fundraiser
A bit of Election 2008 Comic Relief:
Straight from Joe Biden’s mouth (From Biden to Supporters: “Gird Your Loins”, For the Next President “It’s Like Cleaning Augean Stables”:
“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.â€
“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,†Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.â€
Biden also talked about his helicopter ride from Hell, but was careful to note it was due to a snowstorm–not al-Qaida.
Biden also had a “Media Clarity Moment”.
After speaking for just over a quarter of an hour, Biden noticed the media presence in the back of the small ballroom.
“I probably shouldn’t have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here,” he joked.
Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

Hey, Joe! The first international test (in case you two guys will end up in the White House) will be getting you on a couch and figurering what’s behind all these Freudian slips, baby!

I actually just wrote a post about this too. My take, on Joe Biden’s comments about there being an international crisis if Obama is elected made me think that they are setting the American people up for something big. Then they can always say , we warned you.

It is unfathomable that a presidential candidate that has ties to an unrepentant terrorist would be elected president of the United States let alone have that opportunity. In addition a 20 year history with a preacher that rejoiced in the terrorisim of 9/11 makes Barrack Hussien Obama only eligible for election in a failed socialist state which is what America will turn into if he is elected. If the press was truly objective these facts would have been vetted more thoroughly in the primary and only because of the left leaning press do we have the worst of choices in this election.

Two words that should convince even people who post here about Obama:
Colin Powell!

Obama has never even held a job, and you want to elect him. McCain is pretty bad, but Obama is absolutely NO solution to anything. After 911 we had an economic meltdown, and we don’t need one 6 months into an Obama Presidency in an economy like this.

The truth sometimes just has to come out. Biden couldn’t help himself. Of course Obama will be ‘tested’, and of course everyone will wonder what the fuck has happened. It will be the event of disillusionment beyond all disllusioning events.
Contrast Biden’s prospective scenario with Obama in the White House with McCain: who would dare take McCain on? This is one of the reasons this lifelong Democrat is voting for McCain.
Unfortunately ‘The One’ is most likely to win. So, BRACE YOURSELVES!!!!
Hey Tom, I am not certain of the meaning of your post. Do you concur with me, that Powell already showed his dirth of integrity in front of the United Nations? He also proved himself to be devoid of discernment then, so why would we think he could be discerning now in his ‘choice’?
