3 a.m. Call: Why Obama Picked Biden
ABC News’ Jennifer Parker, Ed O’Keefe, and Theresa Cook Report: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., joins the Obama presidential ticket with an official event in Springfield, Ill., just 12 hours after media reports and a text message delivered the news.
"I think they were struggling between choosing a candidate would represent what Barack Obama represents: change. Maybe that’s somebody like Tim Kaine of Virginia and somebody who represents — is a known quantity, who does have that kind of national security experience would be a reassurance," ABC News’ chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos said of the Biden VP nominee pick.
The long-awaited text message announcing Obama-Biden ’08 arrived in cell phones and inboxes just after 3 a.m. ET on Saturday. The 3 a.m. timing may evoke memories of an attack ad run by Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., questioning whether Obama would be ready to lead in the event of a 3 a.m. phone call.
In the end however, Obama supporters got a 3 a.m. cell phone text message and e-mail about Biden, rather than Clinton.
Asked how they kept Obama’s vp pick a secret for almost a week and why they announced Obama’s V.P. pick in the dead of night, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs told "Good Morning America Weekend Edition" co-anchor Kate Snow, "We weren’t trying to hide anything. We’re pretty good at keeping secrets. … I have a feeling that most of the people who normally text were probably up and got it."
Media reports in the hours before the official announcement strongly hinted at the Obama pick: A private plane was tracked flying from Chicago’s Midway airport to New Castle, Del., and the Secret Service had been dispatched to protect Biden, the six-term senator. In the early morning hours, those hints were confirmed prior to the Obama camp’s text message.
Biden had been on Obama’s short list, but had cryptically told reporters earlier in the week, "I’m not the guy."
So why did Obama, who is running on a theme of change, chose the Biden, the experienced Washington hand?
"Over the course of the process, they became convinced, Sen. Obama became convinced, that they needed a candidate who would reassure voters on that support, someone who that could count on, who was a solid, known quantity," Stephanopoulos told "GMA" on Saturday.
Reaction from political pundits is mixed and the McCain campaign pounced on its new rivals, immediately releasing an ad using Biden’s own words against his new running mate.
"What does Barack Obama’s running mate say about Barack Obama?" the ad opens, with images of Biden and Obama, before a clip of ABC News’ Democratic debate on Aug. 19, 2007, hosted by Stephanopoulos on a special edition of "This Week."
"You said, ‘I think he can be ready, but right now, I don’t think he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training,’" Stephanopoulos says in the ad’s debate clip.
"I think I stand by that statement," Biden replies.
Asked Saturday on "GMA" about the impact of the Republican attack ad, Stephanopoulos said, "I think that’s the best they can do — Sen. Biden and a lot of other Democrats questioning Sen. Obama’s experience. Clearly, Sen. Clinton did that, of course, in the primary."
Stephanopoulos added, "I actually asked about that exchange when he was on my show, "This Week," in May and [Biden] was very blunt in his response. He said that Barack Obama has learned a hell of a lot, and he went on to detail how Obama has grown over the course of the campaign, praised his judgment.
I think you’ll see … Sen. McCain is trying to drive a wedge between Obama and Biden," Stephanopoulos said. "But one of the reasons I think Obama decided to go with Biden in the end is not only because he has experience but is because he really can be a political gut-biter and is a strong debater. Over the course of the debates during the primary, he was often the winner of the debates.
"He has served with John McCain for an awful long time, and I think the Obama team believes that Joe Biden will have the ability to get under John McCain’s skin over the course of this campaign and to really be very forceful," Stephanopoulos concluded.
Activity continued at a steady pace outside the Biden home in Delaware prior to the candidate’s departure for the 3 p.m. ET event in Springfield, Ill.
As for the next vice presidential selection, the pick of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is expected as early as next Friday following the Democratic National Convention in Denver and prior to the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
"I think John McCain … has to figure out, kind of: Does he want a reinforcing choice, someone like a Joe Lieberman who has national security experience, or does he want have someone who compliments his strengths, maybe who has more experience on the economy, maybe who is part of a different generation?" Stephanopoulos said on "GMA." "That would lead perhaps to Mitt Romney, [who has] strong economic credentials, or maybe the governor of Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty, who’s under 50 and represents the next generation of Republican leaders."
The potential V.P. contenders who were not chosen by Obama released statements of congratulations to Biden on Saturday.
"Joe Biden is an outstanding public servant with deep experience and a fighting spirit. These qualities will make him a great asset in the White House and on the campaign trail this fall," said Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind. "It was an honor to be considered."
First-time Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, also short-listed for the Democratic vice presidential nomination, said he is "excited" for Biden and praised him as "a tremendous leader and a great complement to Sen. Obama and his candidacy."
Another candidate shaved from the shortlist, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, said Biden’s "extensive experience dealing with foreign policy issues are an asset in these complicated times."
Even McCain contacted Biden, placing "a brief call to offer congratulations to the senator and his wife," a McCain aide told ABC News.

if he would have selected someone about change you all would have said “oh man no experience”
and had he selected clinton you all would have said “its insulting that shes number two, neverobama!”
and with biden you all say “oh he knows washington too well”
its just pathetic how you have a negative answer or assumption for EVERY single thing. Youve created an impossible catch 22 for obama on EVERY position, and then look completely the other way on EVERY single issue for mccain.
I will point out that if you actually think about it in a mature thoughtful way the Biden pick is good because he is a washington insider and if you want to change something smartly and properly having someone who knows it very well is a very smart thoughtful way to do it.

Wow .. Saturday Night Live had it right. At three a.m. when there is a foreign policy crises, Barack would be panicking and calling on someone more experienced to bail him out. Its 3 a.m. and the phone in the White House is being forwarded to the Naval Observatory Unbelieveable symbolism here!!!!

If McCain choses Romney this will be the easiest landslide since Reagan. The Dems will have this election in the bag.
Can you imagine a debate between Romney and Biden. It’s almost unfair. Biden would blow Romney out the water.

Obama said early on that his VP would be a counselor on all decisions. I don’t think his VP choice was easy because of the all great talent available. Pres. Carter recommended Sam Nunn. Sam Nunn was an early advisor to Obama in the Senate and would have been great. We can expect to see Sam Nunn offered a cabinet post along with Al Gore and all the great talent Obama has appreciated. Clinton’s role depends probably on her ability to join forces. There’s a perception she and Bill are still playing Sour Grapes and Luke Warm and Me First and that is hurting her and hurting her loyalists. We are going to need all of you as you well know including the Senator herself. She just needs to get over herself for now.

What does this have to do with the 3 am call? That call is made to the president, not the VP, what’s Obama going to say when he gets that call”
“sorry, above my pay grade, please call my 2nd in command”??????
The whole Dem situation is just plain sill, plain stupid, are Americans really going to fall for this? I will love watching Obama’s campaign fall deep into the depths of worst frauds in American history.

Obama is so predictable, everyone knew he would choose Biden. It is because everyone knows Obama is Grossly under-qualified and he thinks that Biden will make up for his lack of judgment and experience. I found it amusing that even Yahoo news pointed it out. “Analysis: Biden pick shows lack of confidence.”

Tim,
There is definitely a coincidence between Sen Clinton’s 3AM call ad and the Obama campaigns release of the VP pick text message at 3 AM. It was a royal snub and meant to insult the Clintons and her campaign. If you remember, the 3AM call talked about dealing with a foreign policy crisis situation. And Biden heads the senate foreign affairs committee. He visited Georgia during the recent political crisis there, and talked tough, although failed to get the pulse of the events there and did not know who started the conflict first. I believe the Obama campaign thinks themselves as the inevitable winner for the White House race, and that is what is breeding this arrogance and a desire to insult people well established. Young and professionally successful folks, when they lose their EQs, do behave in such a manner.

Excuse me! can an ordinary American citizen use an anniversay of a death in the family as an excuse to not work? I am pretty sure I would be fired on the spot if I told my boss: “Tomorrow I will not come in beause it’s the anniversary of a death in my family.”

“nobody ever votes for VP” Oh really, and W. would’ve gotten (s)elected in 2000 if he hadn’t had someone with experience as his VP? Don’t think so.
Biden is more of a maverick than McCaivman. Biden is a much deeper thinker, more respected, proven coalition builder, straight-talker, experienced version of McCaivman.
Biden will be attack dog extraordinaire. He will be unstoppable and knows McCain better than McCain knows himself. He will get under McCains thin skin and McCain will show his true rage.
Even better yet – Biden is prone to saying things the press loves to report on and they’ll be all over him. With Obama’s charisma and Biden’s fiestiness, the McCaivman camp will have a hard time getting the press to look their way. Even if Biden has a gaffe, he’ll be talking about McCain and the focus will be on McCain and not Obama.
Great choice. Obama will be Prez and Biden will help him re-invent Washington. If you want to fix something, you’d better have some guy who knows how it works. Also, by drawing the fire and ire away from Obama, Obama can stay largely above the fray. Brilliant choice.
Obama’s playing chess. McCaivman is struggling with checkers. Check and mate in 2!

McCain actually paid for an ad where Biden says he would be honored to run against John McCain. And Biden has senate seniority, being even younger than McCain.
Biden’s lobbyist connections have not made him or his friends rich. His earmarks seem to have gone to the intended projects and not his pocket. Unlike McCain’s lobbyists, running his life…including his wife.
I wasn’t in love with this option at first, but it is growing on me very quickly.
Biden is a brilliant choice for VP.

The candidate of change went with the status quo.
In picking Sen. Joe Biden to be his running mate, Barack Obama sought to shore up his weakness — inexperience in office and on foreign policy — rather than underscore his strength as a new-generation candidate defying political conventions.

“Is he ready?” George Stephanopoulos asks Biden at an August 2007 debate. “You said, ‘I think he can be ready but right now, I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.’”

What is wrong with you Obama supporter? give it a rest your guy is winning right? there is no way he can lose right? You have the very best vice president pick right? All of America beleives barack is great and everyone hates McCain right? you guys don’t need Hillary voters right? you will get your wish after the convention speech I doubt we will see Hillary much and I doubt Obama puts her in his cabinet which is America’s loss because she has a wealth of knowledge whether you like her or not. Its the Obama supporters who need to get a grip I have never seen so many evil supporters when their “guy” is winning. Change change change but everything still stays the same once again an arrogant self important man will be running the U.S. Everyone talking about how McCain is using Hillary’s play book and its working for him. I wonder why I guess people didnt want to hear that stuff from Hillary she was just suppose to say nice things about barack and move out of the man’s way. Its shame that nations where many women are forced to cover their body can elect women presidents and prime ministers, but not America. Guess I better tell my neice don’t fight for what you beleive in just fall in line with what’s popular this year.

I find that the way I can stay true to what I beleive in is vote for 3rd party of stay home. I stand with my vaules and it looks like the DNC just threw my values out the window. Obama and his support of wiretapping, faith based programs, and flip flop on gun contro convences me his more like bush than McCain or anyone else running can every be and I agree with him on one thing we can’t afford another 4 years of of president who is arrogant cocky, and had the poor judgement of using coke and beleives he doesnt have to answer questions because they are above his paygrade, thats why I cant vote for Barack.

This ticket is reversed. It should be Biden-Obama. This makes Obama look even weaker, if that’s possible.
Why was an inexperienced, untested man with a murky background chosen for the top spot over Biden in the first place?
Because Obama is the Affirmative Action, white-guilt candidate. If he weren’t black, he would nothing more than just another first-term, liberal Senator.
Being black is no reason to vote for somebody, just as it is no reason to vote against somebody.
I’m glad Obama chose Biden, because it reinforces the fact that Obama is not ready, and it is not his time.
Maybe in 2016, Or even 2012.
But not now.

Your real funny Davis, You Obama supporters seem to be here all full of fury lol what for? Oh and its always the best Obama supporters can come up with is to call someone a loser very intelligent! As far as hillary’s sniper fire lie yeap was a lie but not worse than plagarism by Joe. Like I said Obama and his change in stances on wiretapping, gun control, his lie about accepting public financing all gave me a clue about his intergity so yeah now come back with some other witty retort like loser or crybaby it wont change a thing.

Where did my post to davis go? too much truth in it? like I said Davis your very funny how intelligent to call someone a loser. Yeah Hillary lied about sniper fire but don’t think thats any worse than Joe B’s plagarisim. Its Obamas lie about public financing, his change on wire tapping and gun control that has lead me to decide that his just isnt creditable. As far as coming here it seems the Obama supporters are all ways here in full force, so go ahead make another witty loser comment and be on your way. I am sue it will help your cause.

To me, they looked uncomfortable with one another. Obama seem not together and Biden did a lot of yelling. That was unreal when he introduced Biden as the next president. Some around here are saying Biden should be on top anyway. I think the GOP got so lucky that he didn’t go with Mrs. Clinton. Obama told an untruth that he would not use the same ‘ole politics. I didn’t see a chance, just angry men.
Posted by: Christie | August 23, 2008, 5:00 pm 5:00 pm
I hope you Obama supporters didn’t send too much to the campaign for the “inside scoop” scam. Looks like we all found out at the same time. It was a lame idea, but now we know how Obama has raised so much more than McCain, he’s been scamming his adoring fans.
Posted by: S Adams | August 23, 2008, 5:13 pm 5:13 pm
I think the McCain ad will be pretty redundant fairly quickly. There will be hundreds of clips and moments with Biden saying how good a President Obama will make.
I have to say personally, that as good a campaign as McCain seems to be running when foreign policy is the issue, he seems to be running an awful campaign when anything else is the issue and here again he has not really used his resources to there best. And either kind of ties McCain to picking someone who wasn’t a candidate in the GOP primaries, or getting a taste of his own medicine in a weeks time.
Biden is just the guy Obama needs beside him. A tough, fighting, working class American, with a compelling narrative but also someone who obviously will be able to help Obama govern if elected.

rachel,
I am right here, did you miss me? I was eating some lunch.
As far as Biden’s “plagiarism” if you want to call it that, you need to check the facts. He told those stories before that 11-12 times and every time quoted the source – except that time.
Doesn’t matter anyway, if McSenile brings that stuff up I am sure the Obama campaign will be more than happy to talk about something that happened 20 years ago as well – THE KEATING FIVE!!!
Gee, it turns out that McCain didn’t just tell a little harmless story, he accepted bribes!!!!
So let’s have a frank and honest discussion about the past or let’s talk about the future where Obama kicks McCains A**!!!

Sorry to disappoint you, Mark, but the only states that will be affected by Obama’s selection of Biden are Delaware and Pennsylvania, and both of those states were probably already in the bag for the Dems anyway.
I fail to see how Biden will cause such a major turnaround for Obama in the other states you mentioned.
Posted by: Lee | August 23, 2008, 5:19 pm 5:19 pm
Obama picking anyone but Clinton cost him the white house.
His team never figured out the only reason why he got so much lopsided hype from the media is because it was against the REAL political stars -the Clintons.
I read these bloggs and notice the same clown posting every day like it matters what SPIN they put up here.
Where does Obama go from here? Continually downward as he failed to ever show any substance behind rhetoric.
Biden is BORING and a long standing washinton insider. He is a decent fellow but does nothing to sway anyone.

ABOUT THOSE “HILLARY SUPPORTERS”
The bulk of these “Hillary supporters” are actually cloaked Republican extremists who infiltrated the true Hillary supporters’ organization PUMA [People United Means Action] and took it over. These Republicans are the radical right racist conservatives.
When PUMA first showed up online I was all for it, because I admire Hillary Clinton, always will. But to my horror I saw the organization morph into a mob of rabid protesters and strangely, Obama-haters. The talk became big and threats were harsh. It became obvious the group had been infiltrated by cloaked-Republican racist extremists posing as Democrats whose main intent was to destroy Obama and the DNC and steer those hapless Hillary supporters to John McCain. I was totally horrified. A kind of panic set in. However, in the last three weeks or so, many accredited sources have been showing up on the internet with excellent debunks of PUMA, backed up with verifiable data. What a relief! I came to realize that this group is small and isolated and has few legitimate backers other than extreme-right Republicans and a handful of true Hillary supporters with feminist issues who have been sucked into their scheme.
Nice try, guys, but modern information technology ripped off that sheep’s clothing like the peel off a banana. And now we all can see the nasty little neocon racists skulking underneath! Oh happy day!
PUMA defanged:

I can’t help it, I’m just laughing my head off at the Hillary Clinton die hards who can’t accept the fact that she LOST fair and square. “Obama is toast,” they said for the longest time. “Stick a fork in him, he’s done.” Then the unthinkable happened, he won and they had egg on their faces. So now they’re obsessing over the same talk now. I can only imagine what kind of delusional banter they’ll be circulating if he wins in November. They’ll have so much egg on their faces, IHOP could harvest it all and serve omelettes for Obama’s entire first term. :)

Great choice by Obama.
I think most people/pundits are missing the point, about why Biden was selected.
Yeah, foreign policy, crime, good debater, etc, all important, but the big thing is Biden’s background. Biden will help with Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, etc. Unlike McCain, Biden IS an actual Straight-Talker, and comes from a working-class environment.
This was a very smart, pragmatic choice, and bodes well for the type of Administration Obama will put together, if elected.
As a side note, I voted for Hillary in the primary, but even so, I cannot wait for Hillary’s speech at the Convention, to be over with, so the Media (hopefully) stops all this Clinton vs Obama garbage. Obama won… he’s the nominee… it’s time for Hillary to go back to the Senate, and campaign passionately for Obama.
Posted by: jon | August 23, 2008, 6:15 pm 6:15 pm

I don’t want to hear another Obama supporter ask why Bill and Hillary arent out campaigning for Obama(even though hillary has done more campaigning for him than any of the other presidental hopefuls this year). The answer is obvious Obama told a lie saying he wanted bil and hill to campaign for him, just like he lied when he said hillary was beign considered for vp. He doesnt want input or anything which is fine if thats the way he wants to roll but stop lying saying you value their input. Also to my Hillary peeps as sad as it is this is it. Hillary is gonna remain in the senate(hopefully) don’t let Obama supporters or his campaign try to spin it and elude that he has something else in mind for her like a cabinet positin, unfortantely he will not give her one. Its sad to see that people who were on the forefront of civil rights such as jesse jackson, clintons, the founder of B.E.T told by the new democratic party that even though the younger people had their shoulders to stand on they are no longer needed. Also can some reporter or tv station pretend to have fair and balanced coverage and give us info on the 3rd party candidates like, nadar, cynthia and bob.

Biden was the only one who said YES!
******************************************
I’m beginning to wonder if there isn’t some truth to this, especially in light of all the negative things Biden has said about Obama over the last few years.
Why would Obama even OFFER the slot to someone who said so many critical (yet true) things about him?
As for Biden as the VP candidate with experience, it was the politically smart move. Any politician with Obama’s lack of well, everything except platitudes, would have made a similar choice.
And then of course there is the problem of how Biden fits into Obama’s message of “change” (assuming one buys into it). Biden has been in Congress longer than McCain and McCain is held up as the prime example of an insider.
That’s not to say an “insider” can’t effect change, but what has Biden done that changed the way government works for the better?
Someone posted earlier about Biden having a relationship with the credit card industry. If true, that should not surprise anyone. Delaware long ago set itself up as friendly to business and the credit card industry (many credit card mailings list Delaware as the address)

Tell me about it. When I read Obama Biden, Osama Bin Laden when through my mind. Did you know that Obama has planned for the president of the Islamic Society of North America to speak at the DNC next week? Islamic Speaker unindicted co-conspirator in terrorism trial

It’s not that Clinton supporters are crying over her loss, it’s that she is the only one of the bunch with knowledge and capable of running the country in it’s present state. The questions is “where do we go now”. Pray for the country.

You Obama bashers are pathetic! Grow up!! This country has suffered through enough of your GOP crap for the past 8 years!! The only hope for McSame to win in November is by fabricating lies and using scare tatics on you moron embeciles! Of course, if all else fails the GOP is great at stealing elections!

Get off the Obama Titanic before it completely goes under. His campaign is in a death spiral, and picking Biden only made it worst.
Hillary supporter too

keep on keepin on… by 2012, Hillary won’t be able to be elected Westchester County Commissioner as her “supporters” cause her to be alienated by the DNC.

Seriously, I was watching cable news here on West Coast at about 11:30 when it was all over the 3 channels, last night. Why did obama campaign wait until 3:00AM to text it? Was this a personal dig back to Hillary?
What hype and then a big fizzle. I hope to God McCain campaign just comes out on Friday like they said, without any Hollywood producion egocentric crap.
It was just a way for BO campgaign to add to their phone bank for future pleas for $$$$$.
I love Hillary, like Biden and can’t stand Obama. His problem with lack of experience and judgement can’t be fixed with someone elses experience, as Americans always vote top of the ticket.

Davis…..the clear winner from last Saturday’s faith forum was McCain. Even Dem pundits were in agreement that Bozo was too “nuanced”. McCain goes out every week to talk to the people at town halls. Passes a mike around and anyone can ask anything, Obama is just used to standing in front of adulating crowds reading his lengthy speeches. McCain is certainly not into flash, and hype. It really doesn’t matter who he picks for VP, as Americans vote top of the ticket.
McCain all the way!

NOTE: GEORGE H.W. BUSH SR. IS THE ONLY, I REPEAT ONLY, USA PRESIDENT WITH BOTH “NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE”
STATE-REGIONAL EXPERIENCE IS NOT ….
“NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE”
THE ONLY PRESIDENT TO HAVE BOTH
NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE WAS…..
1. GEORGE H. W. BUSH SR: HE WAS ONCE AMERICA..S CIA DIRECTOR (INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE) AND SERVED 2 TERMS AS AMERICA’S REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENT (NATIONAL EXPERIENCE ) UNDER RONALD WILSON REAGAN’S ADMINISTRATION AND HE ONLY LASTED ONE FULL TERM AS PRESIDENT OF THE USA.
NOTE: GEORGE H. W. BUSH SR. LEFT WITH A VERY LOW APPROVAL RATING.
IN HIS LAST YEAR AS PRESIDENT, GEORGE H.W. BUSH SR, WHEN HE LEFT OFFICE, WAS LOOKED UPON AND EVEN CONSIDERED A WIMP, BY MOST AMERICANS !!
2. JIMMY CARTER: GEORGIA GOVERNOR, WHICH IS STATE-REGIONAL EXPERIENCE. JIMMY CARTER HAD NO NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
BIG NOTE: YET CARTER BROKERED THE ISRAEL & EGYPT, MIDDLE EAST PEACE AGREEMENT & THE USA AND RUSSIAN STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ARMS AGREEMENT AND BOTH AGREEMENTS STILL STAND, TO THIS VERY DAY. CONSIDER THAT, WHEN JUDGING PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER.
LET MCCAIN MATCH CURRENT PRES. GEORGE BUSH’S INTERNATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO JIMMY CARTER’S INTERNATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND CARTER DID IT ALL WITHOUT INCREASED BLOOD SHED OR NUCLEAR WAR FARE BETWEEN 2 HEAVILY ARMED NUCLEAR NATIONS.
3. RON-ALD WIL-SON REA-GAN: MR. (666) HIMSELF, WAS A CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR AN THATS (STATE-REGIONAL EXPERIENCE) AN NOT…
NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
4. BILL CLINTON: WAS A CONTROVERSIAL LONG TERM ARKANSAS GOVERNOR WHICH IS (STATE-REGIONAL EXPERIENCE) AN NOT…
NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
BILL CLINTON HAD NO NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
5. GEORGE W. BUSH JR: HE WAS A 1 TERM GOVERNOR OF TEXAS AN THATS STATE-REGIONAL EXPERIENCE, HE HAD NO…
NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND IT SHOWS, TOO.
GEORGE W. BUSH JR. WILL BE LEAVING WITH ONE OF THE LOWEST APPROVAL RATINGS IN AMERICAN HISTORY, LOWER THAN HIS FATHER, GEORGE H. W. BUSH SR. !!!

1. GEORGE H. W. BUSH SR. ATTACKED RONALD REAGAN AND LATER RAN & SERVED 2 TERMS AS REAGAN’S VP !!
2. JOHN F. KENNEDY WAS ATTACKED BY LYNDON B. JOHNSON AN LATER RAN AS HIS VP, TO LATER BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE USA.
3. “MORMON” MITT ROMNEY, ATTACKED JOHN “SEMI-SENILE” MCCAIN WITH VIGOR, AND NOW, OLE MAN MCCAIN IS SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING MORMON MITT, AS HIS VICE PRESIDENT.
OLE MAN MCCAIN HAD BETTER VET MITT’S FATHER, REGARDING MULTIPLE WIVES, AS WELL AS MITT, REGARDING MULTIPLE WIVES OR HIS SIBLINGS, FOR THAT MATTER.
BUT HOW WILL OLE MAN MCCAIN, RESPOND TO ALL THE COMMERCIALS FROM THE OBAMA CAMP, HIGHLIGHTING MITT, ATTACKING MCCAIN HIMSELF !!!!

Some Obama supporters are truly disturbed. They go to name calling etc instead of telling why we should support Obama, they say you are a loser McCain is a loser. Its funny how the dems no bash liberman who was a vp democratic nomoniee and they bash McCain who kerry wanted as his vp. It is not McCain or Liberman who have changed it is the democratic party. They have become the party of dictarorship. You either fall inline or shut up and get out. It is really sad to see the state of the democratic party. I cant vote for McCain but now its just a battle of staying home or voting 3rd party. As far as speaking rolls umm its only naturl that Hillary get a speaking roll many runners up get that and she was the closest runner up n history(obama didnt win by much). As far as bill um he was the last successful deomcratic president stop acting like it was Obama doing bill a favor when its actually the other way around.

It’s three am and your children are asleep, but somewhere in the Whitehouse there is a phone ringing…
Does Obama pick it up and then hand it over to Biden or does he just automatically forward all important calls to him?
Posted by: diamond lou | August 24, 2008, 3:55 am 3:55 am
This “judgement” of Obama’s makes no sense——even if he just did it hoping that he substitute Biden in to debate McCain. I think Obama chose Biden hoping to hide behind his coattails because of the horrid last debate featuring Obama ummmming and awwing with the missing teleprompter. Everyone is still waiting to see the Messiah of BS without the teleprompter speak again.
Posted by: chattyway | August 24, 2008, 4:49 am 4:49 am
Initially I thought that Obama may have made a mistake in his choice of Bidan over Clinton however the more I think about it and the more I read the blogs,it’s clear that Obama chose the right person at the right time with far less baggage who will not intentionally undermine him. The loyalty factor was never there with the Clintons.
She wanted to be queen and Bill wanted to be pulling the strings.Sometimes the best choices are the most difficult politically but in the end they offer the best results. You Go Obama!
Posted by: savoymt | August 24, 2008, 6:47 am 6:47 am
What was with Obama’s comment about people who normally text being up at 3 AM. Excuse me, but I text a lot & am in bed by 10 p.m. For someone who wants to be seen beyond his skin color, he tends to make a lot of generalizations about other people.
Posted by: ellsbells930 | August 24, 2008, 8:31 am 8:31 am
Barrack Obama’s choice of Joe Biden as “the next Vice President” due to his “foreign policy credentials” smells like four more years of Cheney’s fourth branch of government. Biden can, as Cheney’s office, argue that the Vice President’s office, because it has both executive and legislative branch duties, is exempt from Executive Order. It is useful to tally up the similarities that are piling up on Obama’s Veep’s choice. Biden as Cheney is believed to be just what is needed to balance the ticket: a chief operating officer who would give great advice, based on his years of experience. Biden as Cheney can become quite powerful. That is at least partly because, unlike other powerful figures who became liabilities in previous administrations, there will be no moving him along. You can’t fire him. You can’t reorganize him into another job. You can’t compost him — and find someone to squeeze in on top of him.

Does anyone out there know anything about the lawsuit which has supposedly been filed by an attorney in Philadelphia for a restraining order against the nomination of Senator Obama. I have seen it referenced on several blogs, but not a single mention in the MSM.

MediaWatch, it’s obvious that you are so terrified by Puma that you are desperately spreading misinformation about it. PUMA is primarily Democrats and Independents who are tired of a msm that refused to report on a woman without extreme sexist bias. They won’t vote for Obama because they don’t want the “typical” Chicago pol coming to Washington and corrupting it even more than it already is.
Posted by: JKIR | August 24, 2008, 5:28 pm 5:28 pm
Joe Biden argued on the first day of the announcement of his selection that John McCain is nothing more than a mere clone of George Bush. Joe Biden knows that John McCain ran against George Bush for the Republican nomination in 2000 and millions of Republicans supported John McCain during the 2000 primaries. John McCain also gave the nominating speech for Bob Dole in 1996 who also ran against George Bush’s father. To say that John McCain is a clone of George Bush can not be any further from the truth and it is like saying Barack Obama is a clone of Hillary Clinton.
Posted by: politicsandtraditions | August 24, 2008, 7:00 pm 7:00 pm
On the day of the announcement of his selection to be the Democratic nominee for vice-President, Joe Biden was quick to go on attack and use the Bush clone metaphor in describing John McCain. Cloning of course involves copying genes. Issues involving clones, copying and plagiarism seem to be recurrent themes in the life of Joe Biden. It has been reported that during his first year at Syracuse University Law School, Joe Biden lifted five pages of material out of a total fifteen page legal research and writing class memo from a Fordham Law Review article. Copying and mimicking behavior is sometimes said to be the sincerest form of flattery but plagiarism falls into a special category of a backhanded compliment because it implies a disdain for the original author and your audience. Did Joe Biden believe that none of his professors would look up his citations or have read or be familiar with the Fordham law review article on product liability. Did Joe Biden believe that law review articles from a Catholic Jesuit institution such as Fordham in New York did not carry the same weight and would not be widely read as an article appearing in Harvard Law Review or Standford University Law Review and therefore it was okay to lift a third of his paper from the article.
Many Catholics would be offended that a fellow Irish Catholic like Joe Biden would have such a low opinion of a prominent Catholic institution law review to use it as a source to commit plagiarism.
It is almost a slap in the face against all Catholics and Catholic higher institutions of learning. It would have been better if Joe Biden plagiarized a Baptist Church university law review such Baylor University Law Review instead of a Catholic University law review involving his own faith.

Thanks Democratnomore2– very interesting read. I only read one article about the lawsuit stating it was filed on Thurs, but none of the news media have picked it up. The Democrats are completely F#@*ed if Obama is really not a U.S. citizen. I’m sure the “messiah” could run for pres in Kenya or Indonesian then again maybe not. What has be done for them but let his family live in huts on $12/yr.

Why all these wag wag tongues! U guys are attacking Obama/Biden ticket for no God damnnnnnnnnnn reason. Isn’t the swame mistake the Americans made by choosing Bush…………Indeed, Mccain is an extension of Bush and their Bushy ideas. Waoh! If youy are pro Clinton and a true Democrat that believe in American dream, why all this hoola boola…All this nonsense is a cover up. It is racisms in another form – Allll these rubbish won’t ve come in if Obama is white. It is a pity for America and its younger generation. Least I forget,I was for Hillary before but now; and as a true democrat, I can’t go against my party’s decision just cos my candidate didn’t win the primaries. The Hillary I know is responsible and a true democrat who wouldn’t advise her supporterts to go on protest votes and vote Mccain/Mccane. The earlier you change ur mind and vote for Obama, the better for you and the mother of all Nations – “The America!

After throwing Rev Wright, Father Plegar, James Johnson(Countrywide Scandal) and Michelle under the bus,
Obama has made the mistake of throwing
his young anti-war supporters under the
bus! So much for “change”!
This is a lesson for young voters!
Don’t believe the hype or the MSM media!
Charactor and core values are very important when evaluating a presidential
candidate and Obama is lacking in both
areas! Obama is all smoke and mirrors!

Just wait til Obama and Mccain debate. Mccain is a speaking wreck and can’t even remember what countries exist or don’t exist…. He’ll impale himself on his own ignorance.
I keep hearing all this Rhetoric about Mccain being all experienced. Why? because he got shot down in his first combat mission? He was in combat for like what… 20 minutes? Are you really swallowing the spin? There are infantry that are more qualified, and have certainly seen more combat time.
Thumbs down on that load.

Everyone should be asking Obama and Mccain . If elected, How soon will he make everyone working in congress start paying taxes like every other hard working American that is trying to survive? Also stop ALL the pork barrel spending? Pay for their own health insurance?
