Obama Misspeaks, Calls Biden ‘The Next President’; Biden Calls Obama ‘Barack America’
ABC News’ Sara Just reports: Journalists who were awake until the wee hours waiting for confirmation that Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., was indeed Barack Obama’s running mate, cannot be blamed if their hearing is a little fuzzy today.
But after today’s Obama-Biden speeches to a massive crowd in Springfield, Ill., many reporters are rolling back the tape and asking each other, "Did he really say that?"
When introducing his running mate, Obama said, "So let me introduce to you the next president - the next vice president of the US of America, Joe Biden."
And then when it was Biden’s turn to speak, the Delaware senator called the presumptive Democratic nominee "Barack America" instead of Barack Obama.
"My friends, I don’t have to tell you, this election year the choice is clear. One man stands ready to deliver change we desperately need. A man I’m proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next president of the United States, Barack America,” Biden said, per ABC News’ Sunlen Miller.
However the official Obama campaign transcript of Biden’s remarks sent to reporters omitted part of the misspeak, reading: "A man who will be the next president of the United States, Barack Amer – You know, you learn a lot of things being up close with a guy."
Then, later in his speech, Biden jokingly referred to his wife’s PhD as a "problem." Biden was clearly having a playful moment with his wife, who he also referred to as "drop dead gorgeous."
"Ladies and gentlemen, my wife Jill, who you’ll meet soon, is drop dead gorgeous. My wife Jill, who you’ll meet soon, she also has her doctorate degree, which is a problem," Biden said, "But all kidding aside, my Jill, my Jill, my wife Jill and I are honored to join Barack and Michelle on this journey, because that’s what it is. it’s a journey."
The Republican war machine jumped on the first misstatement, with the McCain campaign releasing the following statement within minutes of the Springfield event’s close: “Barack Obama sounded as though he turned over the top spot on the ticket today to his new mentor, when he introduced Joe Biden as the next president. The reality is that nothing has changed since Joe Biden first made his assessment that Barack Obama is not ready to lead. He wasn’t ready then and he isn’t ready now,” McCain spokesman Ben Porrit said.
The press will not have a lot of time to study the Democratic running mates’ style or stumbles on stage together this week.
Despite previous plans to campaign with his veep-pick in battleground states, Obama will pass through those swing states alone this week, as Biden heads back to his home state of Delaware to prepare his speech for the convention and the most important political speech of his career, at least so far.
The duo will not appear again together until Thursday night when they are slated to accept their party’s nominations.

I don’t get it, don’t get it, dont’ get it. How can Obama be touting their new cozy team as “change” that Washington needs, when Biden is the poster child for old Washington politics? Hello? He is a 5 term senator! He is the 4th longest serving Dem in congress! He was a senator when McCain was still in Hanoi!
Does Obama really think America is that stupid? That all he has talked about for ages was “change” and “progress”, and here he brings a VP who does not represent change at all? Hypocrite? Liar?
And does he really think that Americans will believe the sudden switch in attitude of Biden? When he was Obama’s opponent, he said Obama was not ready, and denounced his judgement on foreign policy. Now, suddenly, Biden is his running mate, and Obama is “ready”? For goodness sakes, do they really take the American electorate as fools?
How can anybody possibly not be sick of Obama the flipflopping hypocritical lying fraud by now? How?

Joe Biden:
“I would be honored to run with or against John McCain because I think the country would be better for it.”
So, Biden would have taken the VP spot for either party or candidate.
And, this is the man who is supposed to provide some backbone for the Obama campaign?
Change they can deceive in.
Anybody But Obama…
Posted by: Jayhawk | August 23, 2008, 5:08 pm 5:08 pm
Obama is right how could even presume to the President of anything because he doesn’t have any background in running this Country or any other country.
The thing is IF Obama wins we will have a young “President” and much older Vice President. If McCain wins we will have a much older President and a younger vice president. I don’t know the way you feel but I would rather a have an older President who knows what to do at three AM than a young president that knows nothing picking up the phone at three AM? I guess he would have to ask his Vice President what to do and that would take time so I guess he would have to live in the White House with our “President” right—right.

Posted by: JA | August 23, 2008, 5:21 pm 5:21 pm
Oh, now we’re back to the Rezko thing, The gist of the story paraphrased from moveon:
In 2005, Obama wanted to buy a house. The property was divided into two parcels, one containing a house and the other undeveloped land. The owner listed the properties separately. After haggling, the seller accepted Obama’s 3rd bid of $1.65 million for the house. Tony Rezko’s wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining lot for $625,000.
When the Obama wanted to increase the size of the yard, he asked Rita about buying a 10ft strip of the 60ft adjacent parcel, the strip appraised for $40,000. Obama nevertheless paid Rita $104,500 (or 1/6 of the total purchase price of her lot) for the strip. In 2007, Rita sold the remaining lot for $575,000 (or roughly a $54,500 profit on the overall property).
Big whopping deal…………Want to here about McCain being part of the Lincoln Savings & Loan scandal?
Posted by: JR | August 23, 2008, 5:23 pm 5:23 pm
Are you sure Mccain will be able to wake up if there is a 3a.m call. I doubt that and even if he does, he probaby will not remember where the phone was.

Too bad that Biden has disagreed with Obama on EVERY foreign policy decision.
He voted FOR THE IRAQ WAR and was one of its strongest proponents in the Dem Party.
He voted FOR THE SURGE along with John McCain.
Why on earth is Obama bringing in someone who is “old school”, does not represent change, AND DOES NOT SHARE HIS VALUES OR POLITICAL PRIORITIES???
Posted by: JA | August 23, 2008, 5:28 pm 5:28 pm
“Why on earth is Obama bringing in someone who ………….DOES NOT SHARE HIS ….. POLITICAL PRIORITIES”

JR,
Convenient of you to leave out VALUES.
Again, why would Obama pick someone who goes AGAINST HIS VALUES (supporter war in Iraq, supported troop surge, racist comments, very partisan, …)
Posted by: JA | August 23, 2008, 5:38 pm 5:38 pm
For those of the unfortunate ‘child left behind’ mis-educational system, “change” DOES NOT mean changing every last detail of the status quo.
“Change” means changing the BAD ASPECTS of the status quo.
Biden has been adamant about changing the BAD ASPECTS of Washington’s status quo!
If Biden’s perspective was advising the wild bush, Americans would not be losing lives, limbs and mental health in the Iraq McCaint-bush war!
Afghanistan-Pakistan would have been pacified by now.
And McCaint’s Georgia would not have been involved in a genocidal attack on Ossetians.

You would think Biden might manage to remember the last name of the person who just selected him to potentially hold the second highest office in the country……

Obama consulted the polls on this decision. Biden in NO WAY represents the ideals that Obama has been hyping.
Kaine and Sibelius would have been better choices consistent with his message of change and new politics.
Barack Obama has essentially abandoned his mantra from the primaries. Once again, Barack Obama has CHANGED ON US!
WHO IN THE WORLD IS BARACK OBAMA? From Independent newcomer, beyond partisan politics and negative campaigning, post-racial candidate…………to ultra liberal…….to moderate democrat…..to this….

Biden has been friends with John McCain for over 20 years. He said he would be proud to on the same ticket with John McCain. Since John McCain didn’t choose him, he accepted Obama’s offer.
BIG FLIP FLOP — since Biden said earlier this year that Obama wasn’t qualified to be President.
Same old politics — just power — that’s what this is all about.
Politicians — saying anything to get elected.
The worst of the economy has been for the past 2 years with the Democrats in control of the purse strings.
They have made things worse not better.
When all is said and done you need Americans for America in congress — not Democrats and Republicans who put party first and spend 99% of the time trying to make each other look bad.

Biden – Assessing Obama’s Iraq plan on September 13, 2007: “My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an epiphany” of peaceful coexistence among warring sects. “I’ve seen zero evidence of that.”

Just shows you that even Obama and Suros could care less about the Wacko Left Wing of their Party and the blacks. Democrats are so clear as to who they assume will vote for them no matter what. they know they have the black vote, they know they have the wacko DailKos and Move on voters, they know they have California stoner votes. So, now those sheep that follow will only continue to follow. Obaumhhhh LIED to all of you Leberls so you would vote for him. Plain and simple.

pdn — Joe Biden will be a couple of weeks shy of 74 years old on election day 2016. Since you would support Biden then, I assume you would agree that John McCain is not too old to be president, and that you wouldn’t dare make any snide references to his age during this campaign. Fair enough?

Biden – December 11, 2007: “If Iowans believe campaign funds and celebrity will fix the debacle in Iraq, put the economy on track, and provide health care and education for America’s children, they should support another candidate,” said Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro. “But I’m confident that Iowans know what I know: our problems will require experience and leadership from Day One. Empty slogans will be no match for proven action on caucus night.”

I want you “so called” democrats for McCain to understand this:
McCain aligns with Bush on:
Iraq War..
War with Iran..
Tax Cuts for the rich..
Foreign Policy..
Gun Control..
Budget & Economy..
Education..
Homeland Security..
Supreme Court..
Crime..
Government Reform..
Health Care..
Abortion..
Free Trade..
Cuba..
Civil Rights..
Social Security..
Immigration..
Welfare & Poverty..
Corporations..
Energy & Oil..
Environment..
Principles & Values
Do you really want another 4 years for Bush?
Posted by: JR | August 23, 2008, 6:52 pm 6:52 pm
This is all over the media. It isn’t confined to one media outlet.
The reason Obama chose Biden is that his other choices refused him.
This is just another mistake the self-absorbed, power-mad, desperate democrats have made.
How can you choose a VP who was just reported saying that Obama isn’t ready, and that he, Biden, would be happy to run on a ticket with McCain?
Do the dems all have straw for brains?
Posted by: Brad | August 23, 2008, 6:53 pm 6:53 pm
I’m a Democratic and will most likley vote for Obama though I have deep reservations about his readiness to be President. I am, though, baffled by how Biden and Obama plan to face the questions of Biden saying that Obama is not prepared to be President and that he would be honored to run with McCain because MCCain would make a great President. It seems like Obama has handed a major vulnerability to McCain on a silver platter. How I wish we’d nominated Hillary. I think we’ve really screwed up our chances for a November win.
Posted by: Cathy | August 23, 2008, 6:53 pm 6:53 pm
“Are you sure Mccain will be able to wake up if there is a 3a.m call.”
And last week we had that “3 AM” world crisis.
McCain: On top of it, issuing demands that Russia withdraw.
Obama: On vacation in Hawaii. Dances. Eats ice cream. Watches Batman.
This election is between a statesman and a little boy who should just take his toys and go home. Obama is so out of his element as a potential President it is not even funny. Obama is dangerous, which is why in a year the Dems should be winning in a landslide Obama is either tied or losing in the state polls.
That’s why Hillary Clinton said that McCain was qualified to be President, she was qualified to be President, and Obama made a speech in 2002.

Posted by: shellgirl | August 23, 2008, 6:54 pm 6:54 pm
Biden was picked as VP because he assured Obama, the Russians didn’t invade Georgia, the state, but a country along the border of Russia. Obama, then assured the residents of Alabama, that they were safe.

Can you show me where he said this? I think the American people would be interested in this claim, seeing as he won’t win one election, much less three.

McCain was making a joke, he has a sense of humor, unlike Obama. He’s also proud of his wife, he said “She would be the first woman to be first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip” He didn’t realize Miss Buffalo Chip was topless.

S Adams, Why is it that He was the only one that
didn’t realize that they had to be topless? I saw the

It’s obvious all you critics of Obama are nothing but racists! Joe Biden is a wonderful man. He is not a racist like all you. I know racism! I lost my job because my racist boss couldn’t understand why I showed up late everyday. Then my racist wife and racist kids left me right before the racist bank foreclosed on my house. So you see,I can ID racism right at its roots.

Steve-twin,
Obviously you weren’t aroubnd when Jimmy Carter was president or you wouldn’t wish him or someone like him (Obama) to run our country.
Under Jimmy Carter we had inflation, recession and an “energy-crisis”. Let’s not forget the 444 day Iran hostage crisis where Carter was stood paralyzed and passive and made one doomed attempt at rescue. Iranian actions were treated like an accident or a natural disaster not as an enemy who must be fought. Carter was a weak leader who wanted to appease our enemies. Obama would be Jimmy Carter’s 2nd term.
Say what you want about Bush or McCain, but I want a leader who other is respected. If 9/11 had happened on Obama’s watch or Carter’s we would not be fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan we would be apologizing for whatever we did to make the terrorist mad!

“It’s obvious all you critics of Obama are nothing but racists!”
Yeah, I would vote for Obama, but his black skin is why I won’t.
Oh, yeah, I forget: it is also because he is a naive, inexperienced little creep who lies and cheats and tolds people like me and my family that we are bitter about our guns and our Bibles.
Besides – he doesn’t know when human life should be protected because it is “above his pay grade.”
Yep, it is because of racism that I am not voting for Obama. Racism and the fact that he is wholly unqualified to be President.
The “wholly unqualified” part takes up 99.9% of the argument.

Clinton does not deserve any respect. She is a sore loser, she is a corrupt politician and im glad obama did not put her on the ticket. Biden brings real foreign policy credentials and experience. Now Obama has change and experience on his campaign, while the redneck republican pedophiles only have a decaying old man with a plastic barbie wife both of whom are so filthy rich that they cant recall how many homes they own. This is of course not to mention the Savings and Loan Scandal that McCain was involved in…the Keating Five, but that will come out come election time….

Yeah S Adams, I was around when Carter was president, I remember the military blowing Carter’s try at rescue and I remember George Bush senior sabotaging the hostage rescue and arraigning with the Ayatollah to release them after Reagan was elected, I also remeber the Oil companies benefited then just as now.
Posted by: JR | August 23, 2008, 7:08 pm 7:08 pm
“McCain has NOT gained in the polls. Obama’s support has gone down but McCain’s polling average is stuck at 42%.”
Today’s Gallup Poll:
Obama, 45%, McCain, 44%.
Next time, get your FACTS straight.
Besides, it is not a national contest. 16 states have seen McCain move up in the polls in the last three weeks, while Obama was doing nothing.
Obama went three weeks ago from 273 electoral votes in his column to 220 now, with several more states about to fall into the “toss-up” column.
You must be so proud.

Some things that bother me about Obama:
1. He’ll jack up the capital gains tax. Dems: look at what the iconic Jack Kennedy had to say about this issue.
2. He’ll slow down development of new weapons systems. Seems just the right thing to do in a very dangerous world.
3. He supported legislation while in the Illinois State Legislature that would have mandated that babies that survived abortion producedures receive medical care.
You can research these things on line.

Umm yea…. who the hell cares how long you’ve been a democrat. If you havent noticed already, this election will supersede party politics. If how much respect Obama gives to Clinton (a sore loser and a corrupt politician) is what you base your vote on then im very very very glad you are voting for McCain. In fact, that is such a stupid reason that I know you were going to vote for McCain beforehand.
If you want our country’s politics to move away from the religious lunatics that think its a good idea to have a theocracy rather than a democracy and if you want change that will allow the american public (average americans) to play a role in the political system (i.e. a true democracy) then vote OBAMA-BIDEN (D).

I have a brilliant idea:
John McCain should choose Bobby Jindal, the Indian-American Governor of Louisiana, as his running mate.
This way, in the VP debate, Biden can make Indian jokes about Jindal working at 7-11.
And Jindal can show that the Democrats are nominating TWO empty suits for national office.

JR,
Oh well if we are going to blame the Republicans for all of Carters mistakes while he was POTUS, then I guess we will have to blame the do-nothing- Dem Congress for our economic problems since it got bad when the Dems and stupid Pelosi took over, and let’s blame the oil crisis on Clinton since he refused to drill 10 years ago and we could be oil flush now. While we’re at it let’s blame Clinton for Al Qaeda since he didn’t do anything when the USS Cole, our embassys and the first time the towers were bombed. There is plenty of problems and blame to go around, the question is who is more qualified to deal with them? An arrogant, liberal inexperienced, Jr Senator who only served 144 days in office before deciding he was ready to be pres with a lying unpopular Senator VP. McCain wasn’t my choice for pres, but he’s getting my vote because between the two he has less baggage than Obama and is the lesser of two evils.

Bottom line is Obama is a shady character. His associations and the company he keeps clearly demonstrates that his poor judgement and that he will do anything to become president.
Furthermore, I think his drug use is understated. Much of his Columbia days in the 80′s was spent in Washington Sq Park, a place infested with druggies, hustlers, pimps and prostitutes. What an Obamination!!!!

“James Marsden, I don’t know who “Gary Sick” or “October Surprise” is. I lived those times and saw an evidential documentary on PBS, but then I’m sure you think they are communistic or propagandists. Just because YOU don’t WANT to believe something doesn’t make it any less true.”
Well, unfortunately for you, those “facts” you claimed are DELUSIONS.
Gary Sick, who was Carter’s National Security Advisor, claimed the same thing. In 1991, the US Senate and US House opened two independent investigations of the claims. In 1992, both reports concluded that none of Sick’s claims that Reagan asked Iran to hold the hostages, or that George H.W. Bush was involved, were true.
Get it? They were FALSE.
Like your memories, whatever “PBS documentary” you claim said it was either lying or delusional as well.
Your claims: FALSE. LIES. PHONY BALONEY.
Perhaps that is why you support Barry Osama Barama and Jody “Neil Kinnock Wrote My Speeches” Biden.

Obama without question is a far more eloquent speaker than McCain…you know the truth. Just because you aren’t voting for Barack doesn’t mean you have to be spiteful.

“I’m sorry Marsden, I thought Arizona was a community property state and half of everything belonged to McCain, am I wrong?”
I don’t know – go to Arizona and look up the law.
Besides, the properties are owned by Cindy McCain’s company, which she owned before they got married.
Which is one better than “Mother” Teresa Heinz four years ago, after we discovered that her and husband John Kerry got all their money from her husband (a Republican) died in a helicopter crash.
Somehow, Teresa Heinz’s money being gained that way was okay, but Cindy McCain’s being an heir to it is not.

To whomever said that Biden has credibility…..He has no credibility. He’s a proven plagarist. It cost him the presidential nomination years ago. And he’s a liar. He flat out said that he was not going to be the VP nominee. Now I realize that he couldn’t say he was going to be the nominee, but a more appropriate response would have been,”Sen. Obama is not ready to announce, so I can neither confirm nor deny….” Which just goes to show that Obama’s judgement is not that great. I’m a little sad to think that, even though I wasn’t planning on voting for him. I like him, but don’t like his ideology – but at this point, I’m not sure that he is ready to be President with a decision like this one.

Reason for choosing Biden, his foreign policy, his political experience and the fact that he knows how things run in Washington D.C. Sounds like the Dems chose the wrong guy to run for President.

“Gosh Marsden, we’re not talking about Theresa Heinz, we’re talking about Cindy and John McCain, try and stay on subject if you can.”
I can stay on subject quite well.
I remember four years ago when the media discussed Teresa Heinz and her husband’s multiple homes, including in Europe (Mr. French Kerry), and the Dems said, “Hey! Those homes are in her name, he doesn’t own them, and she is off limits!”
So, the same standard should apply. Unless, of course, you Demofarts are just hypocrites who need a pathetic issue because your man is an unqualified, inexperienced nutjob.
Which is it? Was Teresa Heinz’s money an important issue four years ago? Or do you think the candidates’ wives is something we should be talking about?

Lawsuit filed against Obama campaign and the DNC in PA, by former DNC chairman and Deputy Dist Attorney, Philip Berg Thursday afternoon.
Suit makes a very strong and credible case that OBAMA IS NOT LEGALLY QUALIFIED TO BE THE PRESIDENT.
COMPLAINT FOR DECLARTORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
(in part)
1. Obama is a representative of the Democratic People. However, the Obama must meet the Qualifications specified for the United States Office of the President, which is he must be a “natural born” citizen. Unfortunately, Obama is not a “natural born” citizen. Just to name one of the problems, Obama lost his U.S. citizenship when his mother married an Indonesian citizen and relocated herself and Obama to Indonesia wherein Obama’s mother naturalized in Indonesia and Obama followed her naturalization, as he was a minor and in the custody of his mother. Obama failed to take the oath of allegiance when he turned eighteen (18) years to regain his United States Citizenship status.
2. The Democratic National Committee is for Plaintiff and “We the People” who believe in the Democratic Vision. The Democratic National Party is supposed to represent the Democratic Americans in seeking honest leadership, Open Government, Real Security, Energy Independence, Economic Prosperity, Educational Excellence, a Healthcare System that works for Everyone and Retirement Security. The Democratic Party is supposed to represent and protect the interests of working Americans and guaranteeing personal liberties for all. Of which includes securing a Democratic Nominee on the Presidential Election ballot who represents the Democratic vision and who is qualified and eligible to run for Office of the President under the qualifications of the United States Constitution.
3. The actions of Obama, a U.S. Senator, in running for President of the United States, knowing he is not eligible, have been taken entirely without authorization under the United States Constitution, completely ignoring the qualification and procedures created by the United States Constitution he is purporting to enforce.

Yeah a funny peek into Obama’s subconscious. What he really meant was, “Here is the classic old white male hack that you can picture as your President after I have been deposed.”

Democrats are such hypocrites, if any Republican said what Biden said about Obama and Indian Americans in Delaware you would all be screaming racist, racist. I have meet more racist Democrats in my life than Republicans, and these people do not even try to hide their hatred of other races.
Question for minorities especially the black americans, what have the Dem’s actually done in the last 40 some years to make your lives better? Besides spouting that we need to basically redistribute wealth to make it fair to the people who don’t have much? Though maybe with wealth redistribution for those of us that live in Wisconsin we should be able to get at least 2-3 million from Herb Kohl. Just think if the Dem’s had their way in the 60′s you would have no rights today.
So much for change that Obama has been preaching about getting the garbage out of Washington, he picks someone who is part of the problem. When I was a kid, I was taught going to Washington as a senator or a congressman was something you did for a couple terms not a full time job, but hey it’s great to work maybe 2-3 full months out of the year and get paid over $100,000 a year and have great benefits. Oh yah let’s not forget after one term they are taken care of for the rest of their lives on us the taxpayer. Than preach about how we have to do something to make it fair for everyone. I don’t see anybody from any party saying I can live off of $80,00 a year and I’ll take the same benefits that the average american gets.
Since the Dem’s have ben in control of Senate they have passed a couple B.S. bills that have nothing to do with improving things here.
But they are so hip on the UN having more power to do things in the world, just what we need a world controlled by a totally worthless organization. The repugnant thief’s, racists, and liars of the UN.
It’s funny people have a problem with the McCain family having 8 houses, but how many houses do slum lords own and do not take care of? And you have no problem with that. I say more power to Cindy McCain buy some more houses part of the American dream work hard do well and spend your money where you want.

The DNC is looking into Obama’s Kenya origial birth certificate. Another lie from “The One”. Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya. This will be the downfall of “the one”. Obama was a citizen of kenya, USA and then Indonesia. When he became a citizen of Indonesia, he lost his status as citizen of the USA. he can never be a “natural born” citizen of the USA. Therefore, he can’t be elected president, only natural born citizens can be elected president.

Hey Midwest Girl, your Republican buddies weren’t saying “…part of the American dream work hard do well and spend your money where you want” when they were making fun of John Kerry for being married to a rich heiress.
And to those griping about Biden having lots of experience: So you’re saying, Obama should deliberately pick someone with little experience? But if he had, like picked Tim Kaine, you’d be griping that Tim Kaine was too inexperienced etc. The VP isn’t the one who decides anyway, so having an experienced old hand is good to advise, while the fresh guy can provide the direction.
Go BO-Joe!

Posted by: Paige06 | August 23, 2008, 8:16 pm 8:16 pm
Hey,
Take it easy on Biden. He did say about Obama:
Reacting to an Obama speech on counterterrorism, August 1, 2007: “‘Look, the truth is the four major things he called for, well, hell that’s what I called for,’ Biden said today on MSNBC’s Hardball, echoing comments he made earlier in the day at an event promoting his book at the National Press Club. Biden added, ‘I’m glad he’s talking about these things.’”
Also that day, the Biden campaign issued a release that began, “The Biden for President Campaign today congratulated Sen. Barack Obama for arriving at a number of Sen. Biden’s long-held views on combating al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan.” That release mocked Obama for asking about the “stunning level of mercury in fish” and asked about a proposal for the U.S. adopt a ban on mercury sales abroad at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.
Assessing Obama’s Iraq plan on September 13, 2007: “My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an epiphany” of peaceful coexistence among warring sects. “I’ve seen zero evidence of that.”
Speaking to the New York Observer: Biden was equally skeptical — albeit in a slightly more backhanded way — about Mr. Obama. “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
Also from that Observer interview: “But — and the ‘but’ was clearly inevitable — he doubts whether American voters are going to elect ‘a one-term, a guy who has served for four years in the Senate,’ and added: ‘I don’t recall hearing a word from Barack about a plan or a tactic.’”
Posted by: Norino's | August 23, 2008, 8:20 pm 8:20 pm
I think it’s hilarious that biden is the VP and NOW attacks McCain when in last election, he told Kerry not to consider him but McCain would be better candidate! He liked McCain well enough then! Smells like politics to me!
If McCain has “7 tables” Kerry must have 50! After all the Kerry/Heinz are worth $760 million –a whole lot more than the mCains. If you consider how much money the McCains have i would say 7 houses is nothing really! I mean, we working class folk have 1 house and I know they make alot more than 7 times what i do–and they give about 20 times more too! So who dare snubs them?

Vote down Biden/Obama
Obama the candidate of CHANGE chooses a Nixon Washington establishment candidate. Biden has been in Washington longer than McCain. And Obama wants us to believe Washington didn’t change Biden, Biden brought change to Washington.
Wow that’s a Gem.
What number is bigger, 18 million (HRC votes) or 5, 000 (JRB votes)? I am sure if you were in the senatte for 143 days you can answer that. Obama could not set aside his ego for his Country.
I hope the women and men of the DNC show their disssatisfaction with the DNC by unregistering their names from the Democratic Party list. Become Independents, republicans, anything. Just make sure the DEMS see that number of registrations go down.
If you have senate primaries do not change your voter registration yet.
This is a slap in the face of women. Even Kennedy who hated Johnson recognize he could not just ignore his opponent voters and make him his VP.

I do not believe the slip of the tongue was a mistake for Obama or Biden. I think it was intentional and was meant to be something to relax those in attendence and let the “common folk” know “hey, we’re just like all of you”. I see it as the introduction of the “good ‘ol boy ticket”, fashioned after the Clinton/Gore race to the White House.
I believe it to be intentional because it’s not like the two of them should’ve been caught up in the moment. These are two very well educated men, and the decision to name Biden as the running mate was not simply made this morning. Biden has known for some time now that he was going to be Obama’s choice and has had ample time to prepare and thoroughly memorize his speech that was given in Springfield today. If in fact it was an accidental slip of the tongue on both Obama and Biden’s part, I raise the question…as mentioned before, these are two very well educated public officials who should be able to keep themselves calm and collected even in times of high anxiety. If the two of them couldn’t pull off this announcement to the public without screwing up their speech, can we, the “common folk” really trust them to represent us, as our chosen leaders of the free world, daily on the world’s stage?

JR: I don’t know where you get your information from but you are dead wrong. Obama didn’t have enough money to buy his mansion so Rezko has to come up with the balance and also he purchased the lot next to the house for Obama. Everyone knows that but you. Obama was a man who wanted to live like the rich with a beer pocket. So be became Rezko’s attorney who had crooked deals going at the time. The court didn’t want Obama involved so they kept it quiet but he was involved and knew all of Rezko’s dealings. How do you think Obama wheeled and dealed against the woman running against him for the senate. Him, Nancy, Dean and Reid doublcrossed Hillary with the superdelegates promising them favors to switch their votes. But Obama will pay the price along with his crew.

Al Gore and the Presidents Clinton have each accumulated over one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) since leaving office in 2001(Barack America hasn’t done too shabby either for only three years in DC)
not intended by any means as a partisan attack — just pointing out how out-of-whack things have gotten in the world of these upper crust Pols — just as bad as Wall St and corporate America

I love how he doesn’t mince words and he isn’t poltically correct. Our comfort zone America is to be lied to. We like it when or leaders deceive us. Obama has been telling us the truth for over 19 months. Now he has literally taken the gloves off. His bare knuckles is Biden. So you didn’t want to accept the message in a smoother tone…everything Biden said today, Obama has said time and time again. But we don’t get it so now we will understand it when Biden tells the same story again– this time more forcefully. Thick headed, stubborn Americans.

Zuq,
Are you serious about asking these questions do you really want to know? Well if Mccain can save me money by not raising my tax that is a good start because one day I want to be rich as well. With Obama I could never be rich as soon as he sees me making a little money the Bama-bin-biden will raise the hell out of my tax. When I’m rich I can open companies and investment which I can hire a lot of people the people that are waiting for Government bail out.Then economy can go the way it could. Second he can keep us safe on the ofensive war that way we all can be wealth one day. Third getting our own oil can make foreign oil drop the price due to competition. thank you so much now go out and do the right thing vote for MCcain.

In spite of the fact that Obama’s 3:00am VP announcement was a direct, and not-so-subtle, slap at Hillary and her supporters for her Primary criticism of his notorious and painfully evident inexperience, the Clintons are ecstatic over Obama’s pick of “Jawbone” Biden as his VP. A man who can speak eloquently ad-nauseam while saying absolutely nothing of substance. The McCain camp will certainly exploit Biden’s former prolific praise of McCain; his multiple assertions that Obama was not sufficiently experienced to assume the Presidency; and, who correctly noted that the White House was not the proper venue for Obama’s: “On-The-Job-Training”. Obviously Obama was smart enough to recognize that he needed a “Handler” close-by 24/7; and, no-doubt has scheduled Biden for remedial training in diaper changing. It’s a good time to invest in “Pampers”. It’s become apparent that Obama has some insidious need to constantly poke the Clintons in the eyes. One has to wonder if an “angry” Michelle Obama is prompting such responses! However, the Clinton’s, astute in the way of politics, will simply re-enforce their base of supporters in preparation for a now certain 2012 bid. Greg Neubeck

McCain is a true war hero and a true patriot. My father served with him. Obama never wore the uniform and he disrepected American troops in Germany. As an American sefviceman, I and an overwhelmingly large amount of my brothers in arms will support McCain. Obama is nothing but an empty suit…Nice job picking Biden as your running mate, Barry.

Here is some insight into Obama: instead of just announcing a VP, he plays a silly show-business game of making the announcement. It’s all a bunch nonsense and it shows how inept Obama and his campaign is and why keeping them away from high office is a very good idea.

A majority of Democrats do not want Barack Obama for president. He’s unqualified (to put it mildly) and unelectable. He was criminally pushed into this position by Howard Dean, Donna Brazile, Nancy Pelosi, and other higher-up, temporarily powerful thugs. True Democrats do not want this moron and his lovely wife, Michelle, anywhere near the White House. Howard, Donna and Nancy are going to try and shove through Obama’s fake nomination by cheating and lying, as they have done all along during this crazy political season. True Democrats pray that they will fail miserably, and Barack can go back to not doing a thing in the Senate, or, even better, to not doing a thing at his criminally-gained mansion (if it’s not already sold).

Hey Neil B
Personally I don’t care what party someone belongs to the color of their skin,etc. etc. If they work hard they should be able to buy however many houses or whatever they want.
Yes McCain and Kerry both married heiresses, but Cindy worked to make her business bigger and better and more people got jobs because of it. From what I know of Teresa never worked at the Heinz company, she got all her money when her husband died. More power to her for what Teresa got.
Lets get real there are plenty of millionaires in the Republican and Democratic party. Very few of them had to scrape their way thru life. With their jobs for life and what they get from lobbyists they are set for life.
Where as the average american has to work hard to get what they need and want.
The past few elections have been really pathetic we have the millionaires telling the average Joe/Jane elect me and I will do this or that for you.
The people of this country who are the moderate Republicans and Democrats and the Independents need to get our act together and get people into office who just don’t blast hot air. It needs to start with term limits for federal senators and congressman.
At least 3/4′s of our senators have been in their office 9 or more years. I get tired of people blaming whoever the president is for our problems. We need to look where the problems really lye/lie.

Am I wrong to think some of McCain’s budget is going towards compensation for the 2-cent-a-post contributors on public message boards?

I saw on PMSNBC today that in the 2007 reports it shows that Joe Biden had a net worth of between $100,000 and $150,000. He has a law degree and has been in the Senate for about 35 years. His wife has a Phd and works, I believe she is a teacher. Has anyone calculated how much per month that he would have had to save since he entered the Senate to have that amount of net worth? If he had only paid for a very, very modest middle-class house (which he could have done AFTER serving his first term in the Senate) during that time he would have a greater net worth than that. Do I want someone anywhere near the budget of the USA who apparently ZERO ability to handle his own financial affairs? I think not! This is obviously a man with no idea as to hao to handle his personal financial affairs.
I need one of the Obamania liberals to please explain all of this to me. This might represent change, if so, I, for one, don’t want any part of it. It sure doesn’t represent hope. Obama, at age 42 or so, paid that much for one-sixth of a residential lot.
Help me out here.

I am President of the US; Joe Biden and I approve this message: Barack Obama is the most brilliant politician that I have ever seen! Baracks entire campaign was based on change and he easily fooled millions of obamabots. Biden is change? well, actually, yes! Its a change from change to same old! Awesome. And biden, the man who bashed obama; calling him a noob, a rookie and stated that obama does not have the experience to run our country. Biden trounced obama. A veteran politician bashing obama and hes now baracks vp choice. How brilliant is it picking biden who received 250k votes vs hillary’s who received 18 million votes and hundreds of delegates. Releasing his famous text message at 3am. Some old repuklican politics. Brilliant deduction sherlock(obama). As the campaign goes on, obama is getting dumber. McOld was just handed a ton of material. Late night tv comics were just got a ton of material. Obama’s campaign managers are losers. Barack and the democratic party is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Never a truer statement. lol

Obama has heard “Please let me introduce Barack Obama the Next President of America” repeated probably more than a thousand times now. And it sticks in his memory. It is really easy to slip when Obama instead of another person introduces his next “Vice President”. Probabably the “President” portion is what is always in Obama. Let’s move on.

The man is the Anti-Christ. You Obama supporters are so blinded to that fact and if he’s elected he will destroy this country and our freedoms. Worship Obama all you want to, Obama supporters, because that’s what you will HAVE to do if he’s elected. He’s the ANTI-CHRIST!!!

I’ve read all the posts in these blogs knocking Hillary and basically saying “ha,ha…she wasn’t even on the short list”. So Mr. Change lied again! Sounds like the same old politics to me. However, the sane Democrats will have the last laugh in November when Obama loses to yet another lame GOP canidate named McCain. Obama supporters will blame Hillary when he loses of course. Sort of like Michelle blaming America for her problems while they funded her education. The Obamaites will never even consider that the hatred they spewed caused even more of us Democrats to stay home.

Oh Geez like Moveon.com isn’t Obama’s personal spin machine. Of course, they covered up the facts. Here is the story of Rezko and Obama house scam, please also note that Rezko is on trial now for being a WELL KNOWN AND POWERFUL POLITICAL FIXER who recruited Obama while Obama was still in college. Despite Obama’s flat out blantant lies to the contrary—-a papertrail of letters that obama personally wrote and signed were found that were used by Rezko to help run the poor housing scam and get other politicians on board at Obama’s personal request.
In sharp contrast to his tough talk about ethics reform in government, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., approached a well-known Illinois political fixer under active federal investigation, Antoin “Tony” Rezko, for “advice” as he sought to find a way to buy a house shortly after being elected to the United States Senate.
The parcel included an adjacent lot which Obama told the Chicago Tribune he could not afford because “it was already a stretch to buy the house.”
On the same day Obama closed on his house, Rezko’s wife bought the adjacent empty lot, meeting the condition of the seller who wanted to sell both properties at the same time.
Rezko had been widely reported to be under investigation by the U.S. attorney and the FBI at the time Obama contacted him and has since been indicted on corruption charges by a federal grand jury in a case that prosecutors say involves bribes, kickbacks and “efforts to illegally obtain millions of dollars.”
This week, a federal judge in Chicago ordered the Rezko trial to begin Feb. 25.
Obama maintains his relationship with Rezko was “above board and legal” but has admitted bad judgment, calling his decision to involve Rezko “a bone-headed mistake.”
Rezko’s behind-the-scenes connection in the Obama house deal became public as Rezko revealed personal financial details as he sought to post bail.
While Rezko’s wife paid the full asking price for the land, Obama paid $300,000 under the asking price for the house. The house sold for $1,650,000 and the price Rezko’s wife paid for the land was $625,000.
Posted by: chattyway | August 23, 2008, 11:13 pm 11:13 pm
Obama denies there was anything unusual about the price disparity. He says the price on the house was dropped because it had been on the market for some time but that the price for the adjacent land remained high because there was another offer.
More PhotosObama then expanded his property by buying a strip of the Rezko land for $104,5000, which the senator maintains was a fair market price.
Obama later told the Chicago Sun-Times, “It was a mistake to have been engaged with him at all in this or any other personal business dealing that would allow him, or anyone else, to believe he had done me a favor.”
Obama had known Rezko long before the house deal, calling him a “friend.”
An ABC News review of campaign records shows Rezko, and people connected to him, contributed more than $120,000 to Obama’s 2004 campaign for the U.S. Senate, much of it at a time when Rezko was the target of an FBI investigation.
“It surprised me that late in the game he [Obama] continued to take contributions from somebody who was under a rather dark cloud in the state,” said Cynthia Canary of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, a group that has worked closely with Obama and supported his legislative efforts.
In the wake of the Rezko indictment, Obama says he has given $44,000 of the Rezko-connected money to charity.
There is no mention of Obama in the Rezko indictment. Federal authorities say the investigation is focused on Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, identified in court filings as Public Figure A.

I wonder if…just maybe…he referred to Biden because three times this week he said in forums that one of the main criteria he had for his VP pick was someone who would BE a good PRESIDENT….and maybe he thinks that because (a) that IS a possible and important job of a VP, and (b) that is an even MORE possible job for the VP of a candidate who gets death threats from crazy bigots….Do you think THOSE things might have been on his mind this week?
But all of a sudden the McCain campaign are Freudian analysts, and the media flutter along in tow.
It would be nice if people would calm down and think realistically rather than treating candidates like paper dolls. Really, these guys are senators–do people have to be demeaned ALL the time? It’s really tired. Thank god HOPE is going to win in Nov for once.

NO doubt McCain is a Washington insider, not going to be disputed, but who isn’t? The fact is, nobody has more bipartisan respect than McCain, just ask your VP candidate Biden who is cut from the same cloth.
Furthermore, based on the Biden’s history of brutal honesty, I would put money on that he will either slip up and tell us how he really feels about Obama or he will strangle himself with the web of contradictions concerning his past favorable statements about McCain.

The 3 AM message was Obama’ slap on Hillary’s face. Everyone remembers Hillary’s “It’s 3 AM” ad a few months ago. Well, Obama never forgets nor forgives Hillary’s ad. That’s why he wait until 3 AM to send out his VP nomination. Hear that, Hillary’s fans? You are nothing to Obama but second class citizens.

And hey… they say by 2020, more than half the nation will be minority. What WILL you do then?

Back in the ’60s we used to say’Don’t trust anyone over 30′ but it is apparent today that it is those under 30 who are gullible and easily lead astray by the mere promise of change from a man who has never had a relationship with honest men of good character.

Biden’s been through a lot tougher crises than being mistakenly given a promotion through a slip of the tongue. Truth Fights Back dot com is the place to report these kinds of smears. Kerry’s PAC learned a lot from not answering the swift boat ads. I suppose you take that into consideration before you post any more stupid blogs like this.

To implement “change”, you need to know what, which, where, when, who & how on the subjects. With Biden’s 35 years of political experience & as a Washington insider, Obama will be able to consult and identify the things needed to be change. Gathering information, analysis, implementation and control are fundamental management activities. We are lucky to have a management team like Obama & Biden.

This great man comes from a population state less than a large U.S. city.
Biden’s/Dean’s state has no minority population to speak of, no crime, no poor, just a bunch of white rich guys with the same power in the senate as California, NY, Texas, Michigan, and florida.

McCain is really kicking himself right now about this Obama selection. Biden is the one person who can honestly say, ‘I have worked with John McCain for years, and this is not the same John McCain’. This is now the John McCain who has flip flopped on virtually all the positions he took over the past decade, who has pandered to Bush and sunk to the level of the same Rovians who derailed his last run for the presidency. His gambit has now failed, and Biden will rightly call him out on it. Shame on McCain!

Fact is Obama has not ever chaired a single committee, is a Junior Senator – with absolutely no experience even in the private sector such as having own a business or being an executive for a large company — he has never been a military leader — so I think that his lack of qualifications speak for themselves so loudly that even he misspoke and called Biden the next President of the United States!!

The bottom line that McCain will cause effective change which Barry cannot. 1. McCain served this country proudly while Barry was snorting lines and hanging out with pimps, thieves and hustlers in Washington Square Park. 2. McCain sponsored important legislation while Obama “organized” communities.
3. McCain reached across the aisle of the senate while Obama had countless no votes in the Illinois Senate.
4. McCain supported the highly successful troop surge and while Barry went with the popular (albeit disasterous) route of calling for immediate troop withdrawl.
5. Barry has associated himself with crazy loons (Wright, Phlager) criminals (Ayres and Rezko) but claims either not to have the purported affiliation or that he was ignorant of their true beliefs.
Are we really willing to risk our future with Barry?

Just wondering. Do you think it’s worth our sons and daughters, our husbands and wives, to get blown to bits for an America that calls this political discussion? This is an election year in an America that is at war and shaking on it’s economic foundation and we deserve to give this country more than just the 3rd grade puns and name-calling force fed to us by corporation-paid mainstream media entertainers disguised as political pundits.
Take back this country we love. Turn off your talk radio for a while and learn real politics to shape your views instead of repeating the superficial issues used for audience-baiting by ex-disc jockeys turned talk show hosts. When we turn political discussion into puns and name-calling, when we ignore America’s complex problems and instead find easy punchlines and blame the left or the right with clever insults, then we are dismantling this country from the inside. Let’s take responsibility for this election and this country through understanding and true assessments instead of tired rumors, lies and stereotyping. Let’s give our soldiers, our national dignity, and ourselves something we can be proud of. Or, we can all just continue to try to be ignorantly clever with easy to understand quips instead of real knowledge, and hope whoever picks up the pieces of America allows us to finish our double cheeseburger before we have to take down our flag.

I appreciate McCain’s service to the country, but I think he and his supporters have played the “I was a POW” card way too much. In all honesty, how does his military service equate to running our country? It clearly doesn’t help him come up with good economic plans. And to Dona, look at the state of the country which is being run by those with “experience.” The truth is, no one is experienced to run the country until they start. There is always on the job training. That is why you surround yourself with knowledgeable people, which is what Obama has done.

To respond to Barry O above NO! Even Biden (who I like) can’t take the stink off bozo. Nobama’s experience cannot be solved by a VP who has what he does’t. History shows VP’s don’t matter…so it’s Nobama against McCan again.

This entire race is disgusting. Neither party could produce a candidate worth voting for. In fact, for the first time since 1976 I refuse to vote. These candidates are a pathetic waste of time and any claim for an “exciting race” is nothing more than media spin (they sell commercials, don’t they?).
If the Bush presidency proved anything… it’s that the Presidency makes absolutely NO DIFFERENCE! They had it all… and squandered everything. Now both parties talk about the need for a national energy policy… the exact same speech Jimmy Carter gave in 1979. PATHETIC!!! An absolutely humiliating reality that there is no one better in American politics than McCain or Obama. Change? What a joke.

Flashback 2007:
After they took over congress in Jan 07, one of the first things the Democrats did was pass a minimum wage increase. At the time, conservatives warned this would lead to lost jobs and increased inflation. Today we have rising inflation and unemployment…go figure.

We need to know that our next president is in good shape physically, mentally and ethically. We want to go to bed knowing that the president is in full control of all his mental and physical faculties. We need our friends – not our enemies – to feel safe and secure.

It just amazes me how so many people go off the deep end over something so idiotic.. So what if they mis-spoke. everyone in their lives has done that. I laugh everytime I read one of these anti Obama people when they try to make something out of nothing. Ok so you do not like Obama. WHO CARES? You don’t like him, don’t vote for him. But to rant and rave over such stupid little tidbits shows how you are either desperate to find something bad about Obama OR you just have no life and no matter what a candidate did you would always find something to spout negatively about.
I look at it this way. McCain is to old and has been in Washington way to long.. same old same old as President. Obama is newer to the system, very young and energetic comparatively. Based on criticism he has selected a running mate that if people did their homework on, they would find he is experienced in the system yet has not crossed the line or played the system. He is forthright and speaks directly instead of talking in circles. Obama is saying he wants someone to COMPLIMENT him in the White House. Very much like a marriage. You try to find someone that end up so you both compliment each other.. both have strengths and weaknesses that work together to even things out.
That is my opinion on everything. I will vote Obama because I want something completely different in Washington. I could care less if he were 25 years old, unmarried and playing the field and enjoying being a bachelor and partying. As long as he is truthful and TRIES to make good changes that is all I want. Someone that has been there all the years McCain has been in Washington way to long and has really done nothing to change the status quo in all those years. I respect him and his service.. but I really do not wish to see him running the country.

BTW – BARACK AMERICA sounds like a friggin’ superhero. It may be a gaffe, but it is the best gaffe that could ever be delivered.
And by Obama saying that Biden was “the next President”, it just reinforces the fact that Biden is qualified to be President in his own right. Let’s see who McCain picks. Will that person have the same qualifications?

Obama picked Bedin because of his big drop in the polls. This made the DNC elders more nervous. Obama’s lack of experience was now showing and then, Geogia, put too much frosting of the cake.
Consequently, the DNC and party elders had to pull the “strings of their puppet” and picked Bedin. He may have national security experience BUT Biden sure does shoot down the message of change!
Now what is the reason for supporting a person with zero experience?

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.

I think with Biden as Obama’s running mate, you will not see the two coming together. Obama is definitely the weaker of the two. Biden will try to do things his own way with his BIG mouth, and Obama will try to make him stay in line. I see this ticket imploding before the GE.

He has been an embarrassement to Deleware because he can’t control what comes out of his mouth! It’s only a matter of time before he and Obama have a conflict, or he and someone in the Obama camp, say Axelrod, and Biden will blow up again, and it will be all over the media. Obama made a mistake in choosing Biden. Remember, Biden has run for President twice and lost, and lost by a lot!

In August 2007, Biden had this to say about Obama:
“The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”
Yeah, they’re going to make a good team! LOL!

Can Obama stop Joe from talking? Most pundits are placing late bets on Biden, and with that pick, Obama would have a forceful and loyal advocate. The problem remains that Biden can be a bit too forceful, and the Obama camp needs to consider if it can afford to spend precious time and resources babysitting Delaware’s senior Senator.
Obama has made a HUGE mistake…but thats ok, McCain is going to win anyway!
Posted by: starbuck | August 24, 2008, 9:55 am 9:55 am
Now that Biden has a huge spotlight on himself, his massive ego will lead him to even more social gaffs. He loves to hear himself talk and now he gets to do it a whole lot. But with his head muddled by listening to the sound of his own voice, he’ll make more mistakes then ever. Thanks Obama! Your inexperience in every facet of politics once again saves the day for McCain! Great choice!

Biden was 506th out of 688 classmates, and a history professor said he was “trying to be the complete Joe College.” In a recommendation for law school, the teacher called Biden average in “intellectual achievement” but high in “command of English language” and recommended him based “on grounds of personality and general promise.” Biden ended up 76th out of 85 in his law school class; the law school dean described him as an academic “disappointment” but praised his “confidence,” “general physical appearance” and “general speaking ability” in recommending him as a lawyer.

The irony is that in 1988, Biden lost his shot at the presidency because he was caught plaigiarizing speeches. So he gets in trouble when he uses his own words, and he gets in trouble when he uses someone else’s words.
Posted by: Dennis | August 24, 2008, 10:12 am 10:12 am
I always thought Biden was a Ted Kennedy wannabe. That, to my mind, is a very low aspiration, Biden optimizes the Washington Establishment. In addition, he is a motor mouth, doesn’t let anyone speak, or finish a comment, all with a “gotcha” purpose in mind. He is less likely to listen or learn. Same old, same old.
Posted by: Joanne | August 24, 2008, 10:14 am 10:14 am
Here is what Biden said about Obama (though the punctuation is subject to debate, as can be heard on the audio): “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.
Yeah, Obama and Biden are going to have problems…dumb and dumber…..what a joke! I feel sorry for the democrats this year!

McCain may or may not know how many properties he and his wife have, but at least he doesn’t have a brother who lives in a 6 X 9 shack, living off 12 dollars a year. Nice that Obama wants to take from the rich and give to the poor but lets his own brother live like that. What a choice he’d be for president. McCain all the way!!!

When introducing his running mate, “Obama said, “So let me introduce to you the next president – the next vice president of the US of America, Joe Biden.”
And then when it was Biden’s turn to speak, the Delaware senator called the presumptive Democratic nominee “Barack America” instead of Barack Obama. “

Barack calls Biden, “the next President, err, vice-President”, so what. Personally, I believe it was a Freudian slip, Obama would be President in name alone. Pelozi and Reed will be the ones pulling his strings, Biden will be in the background telling him what to say.
This is CHANGE. Real CHANGE. We will have a NEW Socialist Order to the Country should these ….. get elected.

The Obama bandwagon is skidding into the ditch.
One wheel came off with Rev Wright. After his so-called brilliant speech about race where he said he would no more drop the Rev than his sometimes bigoted grandmother, he dropped the Rev like a hot potato. I wonder how he feels about granny today?
Another wheel shot off the wagon when Russia proceeded to grind its heel into Georgia. While McCain made a statement about a strong response, The Great Shinning Obama muttered he saw it was serious, we should all get along and he hopes the UN fixes it. For a guy who was pretending to already be Prez in while Europe not long ago, you fumbled.
Now, after his attack dogs have been sputtering about McCain’s age and chanting about change, Obama picks one of the senate’s oldest members who has failed to make even the first cuts for a nationwide office. A old, failed liberal who would never make a ripple on his own.
Bad news, Senator, sir: you are slipping in the polls nation wide. The excitement and luster of your Messiah-hood is running out. You were a marginal state senator in Illinois, not much in the US Senate, and your only consistent strength is you can give a good speech.
The US voter is seeing your rock-star candidacy as a one-hit wonder. On 1/20/09 you will be in the audience.

I zeroed in on the part of the story that said, “…the official Obama campaign transcript of Biden’s remarks sent to reporters omitted part of the misspeak.” How typical for them to change documents so the voters won’t think something happened. They did it with their website, erasing Rev. Wright and father Phleger, and they have attempted to do it with Michelle Obbama’s “proud” speech by having her do another version with “really” added in, and then trying to spread the rumor that people were editing out the Really. They even had “The View” expounding that Michelle’s words were being edited. It makes me wonder what sort of information his staff would be willing to edit or omit or cover-up in the future if he should get elected.

And by the way, this pick was the proverbial last nail in Obama’s coffin. Biden will be as ineffectual a running mate as Kemp was for Bob Dole in 1996! The Dems just sealed their loss, absolutely mind-blowing considering the White House was their’s for the taking! You true Dems better get back control of your party from the lunatic fringe of your party, learn from us Repubs who refuse to give any control to the loons in our party (of course, in your case you had major party leaders stoking the fans of insanity in order to conjure up hatred for Bush/Repubs).

Obama also needs a retired General to stand by him. Its to bad retired General Wesley Clark was taken out of play by the Republican smear machine. McCain has been singing the praises of General Petraeus in August in order to associate himself with General Petraeus. Active Generals are neutral in Elections. If McCain whats showcase a retired General endorsing his campaign that would be fine. The Troops contributing more to Obama’s campaign was the news of August for Obama. Obama needs a General thats on the same page with him

Umm, JR……and what exactly was Obama’s GPA and class rank (and for that matter given all of his lies did he even actually graduate or is it like his fake professorship where he is actually just a guest speaker? You do realize the compulsive lying Obama refuses to release his school records? What is even funnier is that Obama’s high school grades would have barely qualified him for community college, but somehow he got into Harvard? And then his co-workers following his supposed graduation refer to Obama as basically an idiot which he has continued to demostrate each and everytime he has opened his mouth without a teleprompter…so did Obama actual graduate or not? Where is the proof?

So Joe Biden has an impressive career in the Senate and has been thoroughly vetted by the press.
So why did he lose to a rookie, an inexperienced junior Senator in the primaries?
Simple. He has 2 major liabilities: he’s old and white.
If voters had listened carefully and paid attention instead of buying the media hype of a historical election, they should have figured out by now who has been using and manipulating the race issue.

Jayhawk,
You only told part of the story.
Not only did Joe Biden say he would be HONORED to run WITH Johns McCain or against him.
He also said that he and John McCain were close personal friends AND more importantly, he tried to get John McCain to run for VICE PRESIDENT on the John Kerry DEMOCRATIC ticket in 2004!
Now he is going to try to say that the same man he wanted to be John Kerry’s Vice President is the essence of all evil.
If you do not believe me, you can listen to him for yourself:
http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=125441
He told this to Jon Stewart when he was a guest on Jon’s program. Jon asked him again, because even he couldn’t believe what he was hearing and asked him to repeat it in case he misunderstood what he said. He didn’t misunderstand it because Joe Biden repeated his statement that he asked John McCain to run as John Kerry’s Vice President!
It should be great fun watching him try to dance around that statement. Not a gaff or slip of the tongue. A clear and concise statement which backs up all of the rumors that the Democrats were really trying to get John McCain to defect from the Republican Party and become a Democrat and the reward was the Vice Presidency of the United States!

Senator Biden is a great Senator and will be an excellent running mate and V.P. He brings foreign policy experience as well as knowing the inner-workings of the Congress and Washington politics. Senator Obama and Senator Biden bring enthusiasm, hope, optimism and rebirth back to America and the
election process. The Republicans and
the McCain campaign are attacking Senator Obama’s choice as they KNOW Senator Biden is a strong, independent
person and excellent speaker and he
will not put up with the smears and
lies which the “Rove-style” McCain
camp. is pushing. Senator Biden knows
how to push back from his years of
experience and will be a good attack
person for Senator Obama.

This Dem team is noted for gaffs, but the press hasn’t been reporting much about Obama’s gaffs between the sweet embraces. So, this is a welcome turn of events. I can imagine the attack bots will be out in force as evidenced above, in the responses to spread fear in the media.

Perhaps these two fighters could start by combatting poverty in the Obama family?
Obama is greatly concerned about poverty and homelessness, we are supposed to believe. He lives in a 1.65 million dollar mansion and made over 1 million dollars on a book deal alone.
Some of us feel charity begins at home and that we are our brother’s keeper. Obama, on the other hand, has a half brother he last saw in 2006 and this brother lives in a $1 per month corrugated shack in Africa. Obama could pay his rent for the year with the cost of a carton of Obama-cigarettes and have change left over to donate to move-on.org. He leaves his own brother in poverty instead of helping him? Where’s the indignation of the communo-socialist-progressives over that?

Obama Sued in Philadelphia Federal Court (Constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency)by Phillip Berg – 9/11 Truth Attorney for William Rodriguez
AmericaRight.com ^ | 8/21/08 | Jeff Schreiber
Posted on Thu Aug 21 17:00:24 2008 by LdSentinal
A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit–just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver–for the health of the Democratic Party.
“I filed this action at this time,” Berg stated, “to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.”.
Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator’s background, and in today’s lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a naturalized U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls “dual loyalties” due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.
Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator’s use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of “multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries” remains on the table.
In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama’s mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, “apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight.” As Sen. Obama’s own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham–Obama’s mother–gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.
Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama’s birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals–Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital–in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple “registry of birth” records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office.
Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama’s mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a “natural born” citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.
Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed “natural born,” that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama’s registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name “Barry Soetoro” and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.
The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a forgery. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama’s half-sister.
“Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama’s lies and obfuscations,” Berg stated. “If the DNC officers … had performed one ounce of due diligence we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one week away from making a person the nominee who has lost their citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship as prescribed by constitutional laws.”
“It is unfair to the country,” he continued, “for candidates of either party to become the nominee when there is any question of the ability to serve if elected.”

Is America ready for a socialist leader? The country is already heading that way Obama would just hasten the pace. Unemployment will be staggering high with a socialist country and the economy will tank. Look at the entire history of the world as this hold true time and time again. Unfortunately Democrats don’t understand economics 101 that if one takes from achievers and gives to nonachievers it hurts everyone as achievers create job. Obama believers are out of touch with reality. Vote Libertarian as we don’t need bigger government and less freedom. Wake up Obama sheep before it is too late.

OBAMA has conceded to Biden already RUNNING as POTUS as he knows on grounds that HE is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
There is a Federal lawsuit filed last Thursday afternoon, August 21, 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.

Hillary supporters: She lost a contest that she knew the rules of going in. She lost fair and square and nobody caused her to lose, except the voters. Please have some dignity and move forward.

It’s been hilarious to me during this election cycle to hear attempts by Camp Barry to inflate and sell Barry to the American public. First, Barry has been called a “Constiutional Attorney”. Last I checked he taught classes at a law school in Chicago. Where are his scholarly papers and when is he ever cited in by other Constitutional Attornies or in any scholarly papers concerning the constitution? Second, he has been called a “community organizer”. What the hell is a community organizer? Even if he was a “co”, that surely doesn’t translate into leading the most powerful country in the world. Third, there have been statements he has “reached across the aisle” during his time in the US Senate. Hmmmm….doesn’t he have the most liberal voting record in the Senate? Tell me if I’m wrong, doesn’t that mean he is the furthest away from the mainstream?
Am I missing something here?

Obama will win based on Bob Barr being on the ballot as well as Bloomberg in Virgina.
This election wont be about gaffes and issues if it was about that Obama would be up 15 points.
This election is about one thing and one thing only: White Americans are going to go to the polls and ask themselves DO I WANT A BLACK MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
MOst of thier answers will be a resounding HE11 NO based on this being a racist country. Obama’s only hope is to have astronomical minority turnout and at least 40% of white people being so fed up that theya re willing to vote for a black guy.
Just being honest. THis is the RACE election. Anybody saying differently is niave. Experiance excuse is pathetic. Obama has more experiance then Hillary by 8 years.
She is still the JUNIOR senator from NY who only got that far because she was married to Bill and got cheated on and begged for support based on her gender. Lets just be honest about it. So it cant be experiace…it’s all about DO I WANT A BLACK PRESIDENT.
Obama better hope for at least 40% of whites to say theyd ont care and then to be carried the rest of the way by votes taken away from McCain by Bob Barr, BLoomberg, fed up women and youth and minoritiy turn out.

It is incredibly difficult to get into our military Academies – and to graduate from them. The fact that he stuck it out & graduated means he deserves tremendous respect. It’s not like graduating near the bottom of your class at your local community college or state school – heck – it makes him more intelligent than those who graduate at the top of their class at a state school.

Charles, If you clowns did not keep offering up candidates that are so easy to swift boat you would not have to worry about that but every four years the democratic circus comes rolling into town with assorted clowns hanging off the big wagon just looking to get sand bagged. The gift that keeps on giving. With Drudge, The National Enquirer and so many more people out looking for those “Black Face” photos from Biden’s college days it is only a matter of time. I would guess that about ten minutes after his acceptance speech at the convention they will hit the internet. That is assuming Hillary has not already taken the convention over and had herself voted presidential nominee. As they say it ain’t over until the fat lady sings and she hasn;t even arrived in Denver yet.

JN’s comments above reflect the educational level and achievement of your typical fervent Obama supporter. I started counting his spelling and grammatical errors, but gave up after I reached double digits. I won’t even go into his flawed reasoning and misstatement of facts. Obama is possibly the most singularly unqualified candidate ever proffered by a major political party in this country’s history, but more importantly, he’s also the most Marxist, freedom-loathing candidate ever put forward. Contrary to JN’s assertions, Obama will be rejected resoundingly in this election, but not because the US is “racist” as JN contends. It most demonstrably is not. (Just look at the composition of the current President’s cabinet.) Rather, it will be because McCain is supremely more qualified than Obama. For that matter, my Labrador retriever is more qualified to be President than Obama.
Posted by: LoonsToTheLeftOfMe | August 24, 2008, 7:32 pm 7:32 pm
The specific reason for Obama and the democrats running for office in this place we call America is to get the position in political power that is needed for their eurasian masters to annihilate America and kill all Americans. This agenda becomes no surprise to this place we call America and our population. Even the stranded totalitarian media failures of New York City and California can’t rewrite their proposed history of themselves to that desired level of intricacy and management. Obama will lose. America will win.

If the election were held today, McCain would be President.
In November, McCain will be President.

A Vice-President has two main duties, one is to break ties votes in the Senate and the other to take over if the President is incapacitated or deceased (max incapacitated). In our time of historic atonement for black slavery, a semi-black man has a serious shot at becoming President of the United States. It is interesting that that black man would prefer that an old white boy take his place should anything happen to him. No black man was vetted for the post. Joe Biden is the ideological vanilla twin of Barack Obama. This illustrates that Obama would be nowhere near where he is today, if not for his dark complexioned heritage. Note that John McCain actually owns zero houses and is not even a trustee of a trust that owns a house. He did not want to mislead the Drive-by Media, who will makes mistakes willy-nilly but crucify you for any that you make (if you are not a flaming liberal).

He did the same technical stuff to the other four dems in the race and then got beaten by a former Black Panter. When he ran for the Senate someone in Chicago unsealed court documents that sank former governor Ryan’s chances so he withdrew. The GOP brought in a political hack from Maryland to challenge Barack. There was never any doubt who would win. Add it all up and Obama has never ran a competitive race against anyone but Hillary Clinton. So either Barack is that good or Hillary is that bad. Your choice…

Hmmm, I don’t think the neo-Dems are going to be happy with Obama “America’s” choice. I think you Obamaniacs are getting nervous when just this blog pointing out faux pas makes you react with comments like “this is a stupid blog”. Lighten up, have some “hope”.

“”At least both Sens. Obama and Biden know how many homes they own. Obama/Biden 08!!!
Posted by: caliguy55 | Aug 23, 2008 5:16:11 PM”"
Yeah but they don’t know who the president will be. Obama still doesn’t know who’s goin’ be the prez and whose the VP Again.
OBAMA’S ‘NOT EXACTLY’S’
> 1.) Selma Got Me Born – NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 – Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google’ Obama Selma ‘ for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)
> 2.) Father Was A Goat Herder – NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
> 3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter – NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.
> 4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom – NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga’s follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone.
Obama’s cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians’ homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.
> 5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian – NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christian ity wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.
> 6.) My Name is African Swahili – NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’ (from which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side. While Barack Hussein Obama’s fath er was from Kenya , his father’s family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father’s birth certificate even states he’s Arab, not African Negro). From….and for more….go to…..

> 7.) I Never Practiced Islam – NOT EXACTLY, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.
4-3-08 Article ‘Obama was ‘quite religious in islam” http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60559
> 8.) My School In Indonesia was Christian – NOT EXACTLY, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).
February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ‘one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.’ This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says ‘Obama’s narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.’
> 9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian – NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.
> 10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience – NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn’t even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.
> 11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs – NOT EXACTLY, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.
> 12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion – NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify – your classmates said you were just fine.
> 13.) An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office – NOT EXACTLY, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.
> 14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My outlook on Life – NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.
> 15.) I Won’t Run On A National Ticket In ’08 – NOT EXACTLY, here you are, despite saying, live on TV,
> that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.
> 16.) Voting ‘Present’ is Common In Illinois Senate – NOT EXACTLY, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO VOTES.
> 17.) Oops, I Misvo ted – NOT EXACTLY, only when caught by church groups and Democrats, did you beg to change your misvote.
> 18.) I Was A Professor Of Law – NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.
> 19.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer – NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.
> 20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill – NOT EXACTLY, you didn’t write it, introduce it, change it, or create it.
> 21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass – NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.
> 22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill – NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation – mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.
> 23.) I Have Released My State Records – NOT EXACTLY, as of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.

> 26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois – NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.
> 27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year – NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.
> 28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA – NOT EXACTLY, the Candian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.
> 29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism – NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction of Israel .
> 30.) I Want All Votes To Count – NOT EXACTLY, you said let the delegates decide.
> 31.) I Want Americans To Decide – NOT EXACTLY, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.
> 32.) I passed 900 Bills in the State Senate – NOT EXACTLY, you passed 26, most of which you didn’t write yourself.

Now that the McBush is playing the more you say it the more it has to be true game. How about the McBush folks explaining how their candidate when he was working as a US Senator kept his hand extended to the savings and loan banks about to go under that caused him to be named as part of the Keating Five. These were Us Senators found to have acceoted a bribe in exchange for their Senate vote! Of course has McBush changed his opinion of the late Dr. Martin Luther King and decided to support a holiday in his honor?

So change includes a VP that has been in the Senate since B. Hussein Osama was in diapers, a VP that said BHO isn’t ready to lead, who said McCain WOULD make a good president?
I guess the “change” is a presidential candidate who willingly commits political suicide! I guess he’d rather fail by his own hand, rather than at the hand of the Clinton machine!

If Biden is able to be President, I guess that takes McCain’s age off the table. Or is McCain precisely 6 years too old?
Posted by: Chris in VA | August 25, 2008, 9:25 am 9:25 am
Don’t you love how ABC treats a gaffe when a Democrat does it versus a Republican?
When Obama makes a gaffe, it’s called a “misstatement”. When McCain makes a gaffe, it’s called a “gaffe”.
And ABC refers to the “Republican war machine” pouncing on the comments? What bias! But does Obama’s “war machine” “pounce” on McCain’s gaffes? LOL
So I wonder how many jokes will be made about how Biden is the real brains and Obama is an empty suit, like when Bush picked Cheney? The answer? Never.

It is appropriate that the momentus announcement by Obama and his running mate would be celebrated by rhetorical gaffes by both. I doubt that either of these two are really comfortable with eachother. The DNC-dictated choice of Biden must make Obama a little queasy. Biden must feel uncomfortable standing next to Obama, who Biden called inexperienced during the primary campaign. This is a May-December shotgun political marriage which will no doubt yield more amusing verbal anomilies in the future.

This story highlights the problem Obama is facing – the media focuses on trivia instead of issues. If Obama is to go forward from here, he will have to convince the media and the public that he’s not the Paris Hilton of politics. He will have a hard time doing that if the media only want to publish inconsequential stories like this.

This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal!
A nation healed; a world repaired!
A light will shine down and you will experience an epiphany–Joe Biden is the one we’ve been waiting for!
He is a centrist blue-collar, bare-knuckled straight-talker! He has a drop-dead gorgeous wife with a PhD and his IQ is bigger than yours! Plus he has nice hair! And he is so charmingly loquacious!
Seriously, how can the brainy, “nuanced” Democrats buy all this rubbish? And how can it possibly be that Barack Obama is somehow not yet a laughingstock? I suspect those two questions keep going through Hillary’s mind as she prepares for McCain in 2012.

And the house thing? I think it’s funny that you people think that has teeth, especially given the idiocy of some of Obama’s more Marxist comments. Of course, the fact that CINDY OWNS NEARLY ALL OF THE HOMES, not John McCain says alot about how little Obama supporters really know about anything.
Yeah, change for the sake of change is a great thing coming from a guy who claims to be from ‘outside’ DC but used the same old slimey Chicago politics to steal his senate seat. Obama is an empty suited scumbag who can’t think for himself unless a teleprompter informs him of his next word.

We should forever thank Obama for knocking Hillary out of the White House.
If Obama becomes President and does a good job, then he will be re-elected in 2012 – not Hillary.
If Obama becomes President and does a lousy job, then some republican will most likely replace him in 2012 – once again, not Hillary.
Hillary’s only last long shot chance senario to get in the White House involves a McCain victory in 2008 coupled with a him doing a lousy job. Then maybe Hillary can get the job in 2012.
Apart from that, she just stays a NY senator.
Thank you Barack Obama.

Okay, stories like this really are dumb just as dumb as the stories about Bush’s problems when speaking. After all, the neocons of the Right don’t think Bush’s butchering of the English language has anything to do with governing. So with that in mind, the neo-Coms of the Left don’t think Obama’s tendency to stutter when he doesn’t have a teleprompter doesn’t matter either.

This article represents a complete waste of space. To criticize a mispoken word or two by Obama and Biden is laughable. Especially after the last eight years with a babbling idiot like George Bush. The man cannot string two intelligent sentences or thoughts together “whenever” he speaks. There is no way Georgie ever earned those degrees at Yale & Harvard. George Bush’s existence is a testament to what the ivy League is all about. Don’t worry Georgie, Mommie & Daddy will get you a degree. Until you start pointing out the mispoken word of the alcoholic druggy in the white house let’s not get too carried away. Oh, by the way, let me know how many houses John McSame thinks he has once he is able to remember. And please tell the foreign policy expert McSame that Czechoslovakia no longer exists.
