Obama Picks Joe Biden for Veep »

Posted By Spinward 10 months, 2 weeks ago in News

The blunt and seasoned chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee is a veteran of more than three decades in the Senate, and one of his party’s leading experts on foreign policy – an area in which polls indicate Obama needs help in his race against John McCain.

    “There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama’s lack of experience than Joe Biden. Biden has denounced Barack Obama’s poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realizing – that Barack Obama is not ready to be president,” McCain spokesman Ben Porritt said in a statement.

    Based on what Biden has said in the past...........

    --"In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking." - July 2006
    --Barack Obama is a "clean" black person. February 2007
    --One reason that so many District of Columbia schools fail is the city's high minority population. October 2007 (Now that may be true, but a liberal can't say it.)

    .....................he's the perfect choice for Messiah Tse-Tung

    Biden Previously Attacked Him As A "Johnny Come Lately" For
    His Failure To Show Leadership On Foreign Relations Issues:

    Since Obama Joined The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, The Committee Held
    Three Full Committee Policy Hearings On The War In Afghanistan.
    Committee On Foreign Relations, U.S. Senate, Hearing, 1/31/08, Obama Not Present
    Committee On Foreign Relations, U.S. Senate, Hearing, 3/8/07, Obama Present
    Committee On Foreign Relations, U.S. Senate, Hearing, 9/21/06, Obama Not Present

    Obama's propensity for not participating in the Illinois Senate, seems to have carried over to the U.S. Senate, as noted by Joe Biden.

    I guess being not present, is what the "we have been waiting for".

    Didn't Joe say if he was defeated by McCain, then he knew he was beat by the best man for the job? Interesting to see how they the Obama camp gets around that comment & it will be as interesting to see if the McCain camp uses Joe's own words in Mac's favor.

    At least it may be entertaining
    Biden has NEVER played second fiddle to anyone
    Who is going to be assigned to keep him in line and clamp their hand over his mouth if he starts to get out of line?
    The press loves Biden - his sound bite gaffes are always good for the evening news

      Joe will blow away any "JERK" that the hypocrite can bring in as his VP pick. The hypocrite himself has to duck for cover as Joe knows how to attack him after being in Senate Foreign Relations committee and in Congress for 35 years.

      Here is the first shot:

      . What is so great about this McCain while there are other thousands of POWs from Vietnam? Let us dissect him and his qualifications.

      . Do you have to be a POW to become President?

      I think it's a perfect choice. The only thing that ****** me off is that both of these jerks will be back in the senate in 2009. Bummer! :D

        Across more than 30 years in the Senate, he has served at various times not only as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee but also as head of the Judiciary Committee, with its jurisdiction over anti-crime legislation, Supreme Court nominees and Constitutional issues.

        He has the experience to clean up the mess the republicons have made of the DoJ, as well as what they have done to our Constitution and Habeas Corpus.

          I think Obama made the best choice he could.

          We'll hear that Biden doesn't change his underwear as often as he should, but he is not the scumbag quality of a Shumer, Kennedy or Reid.

          It doesn't change my vote, but it will make me feel a little better if Obama manages to pull it out.

          Biden is an excellent choice to counter McCain's negative campaigning and general dirty tricks. He loud, mean, knows the system and the many skeletons in repug closets. He can tear anyone in Washington D.C. a new A-hole at any given time. If Obama seems tentative at times, I can guarantee you Joe Biden won't be. Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania (Penn = key swing state) to a working class family, no elitest background like "W" or his clone "McW." (a.k.a John McSame).

          " I know you I have a kitchen table also, I know you, after you put your kids to bed, you sit down at your kitchen table and discuss how your going to pay your bills and put your kids through collage.
          I know that, but McCain's only problem is figuring which of the seven tables to sit down at."

          "Joe Biden"

          The progress can only be made if within changes there are continuity. I am glad that Biden could provide such continuity to make change possible.

              That makes two losers.
              Biden will be a 3 time loser after this election.

                Joe Biden? You mean the same guy that has a temper that rivals McCain and has a propensity to put his foot in his mouth? Is this a good choice for a candidacy that’s only a few points ahead of McCain?
