Barack Obama will need help in a crisis, says Joe Biden from Times Online UK…
Joe Biden, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, has told Americans to expect a “major international crisis” that will present an early test of a Barack Obama administration.
His comments were seized upon by the Republican campaign yesterday to raise fresh doubts about the prepared-ness of Mr Obama to be commander-in-chief.
Speaking at a fundraiser in Seattle on Sunday night, Mr Biden said: “Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here . . . we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
He cited Russia and the Middle East as possible places that may cause problems, as well as the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan – “crawling with al-Qaeda” – as being of particular concern.
Mr Obama would need help and support, Mr Biden suggested, “because it’s not gonna be apparent, initially, that we’re right.” He then spotted the media in the room, “I probably shouldn’t have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here.”
Now why would anyone vote for Barack Obama when his own VP states that a vote for Obama is a vote for an international crisis? Why would anyone want to be a part of a ticket that one believes will lead the country to crisis? What an unbelievable statement. The only time a time camera falls on Senator Biden at this point is when he is trying to pull his foot out of his mouth. However, this is beyond a gaffe; this is disturbing. It appears Senator Biden sees Senator Obama as weak. It appears that Senator Biden, is not confident in Senator Obama’s ability to handle a crisis, and it appears that Senator Biden would prefer a “major international crisis” that a Republican president.

Joe Biden says the election of Obama may lead to a new conflict, terrorist attack, or a third war. A careful analysis of history says he may be correct.

What a minute didn’t just go though a crisis or is still in a crisis, and who was not acting Presidential?
One hint: John McCain.
I hope that you guys will be able to guess the answer. I tried to make it easy for you.
Actually I know one reason why the other nations would try to test Obama or McCain because Bush is leaving America on such shaky ground with the economy and our alliance with other countries.
In Bush’s 8 years of presidency we lost so many alliances with other countries over the war in Iraq (going against NATO), and going back on treaties and such.
America has lost face under Bush’s control. Other countries are coming together without the help or the need of American help.
In other countries’ eyes America is not the super power it once were because of Bush’s tactics in the global arena .
So whom ever becomes our next President (most likely Obama) that person will be tested to see where he stands in the global arena.
They are worried if another Bush type president will come out of this election.

So .. does FOX own you guy?
I’m not voting Democrat Nor am I voting Republican, I am voting for individuals to a seat. I don’t believe that either candidate is good for the country, I believe that John McCain is the lesser of the two evils. I believe Obama is hiding things like his ties to ACORN and other extremist groups, I believe that Obama is not capable of running this country and I believe his tax policies will make this country worse than it is now. I also believe that we should not allow people to be picked up in bus loads to register to vote by any party, I think it’s up to the individual to go to register and go to the polls and unless they are handicapped they should have to go to those places at there own expense and not anyone else’s. Doing that just makes it look like we are a third world country and voter fraud becomes prevalent. Obama spent 143 days in the senate and announced he was running for president, it takes longer to make Manager at McDonalds! Obama is Pro Extreme Activists and if you have not seen pictures of Africa and what they have going on over in that country then research it out because the same thing will happen here, we need IQ testing for registration to vote as ell as drive, people who are not smart enough shouldn’t be allowed to vote. I also believe that people who do not pay any taxes should have the right to vote as well since the government is the one spending our tax money only people that actually pay taxes should vote!
Americans need to OPEN THEIR EYES! Why do you think the Hamas and other similar groups want the “weak on,” Obama, to become Pres? We already know he will not be able to make serious decisions on his own. We DO NOT need a President who has to wait for his VP to help him make a decision when we are under attack around the world. We MUST get smart about our politics, and elect the only presidential candidate that terrorist groups respect. This respect is what will keep us safe, here and abroad. That candidate is Sen John McCain!! Ask yourself how much we really know about Nobama! Very concerning that so many have shut their eyes to this smooth talker! Seriously people. Snap out of it.
Heavenly, you are a brainless nitwit.
Why do you need to call names!
Do you think that will convince people you know which candidate to vote for?
Name calling and making fun of others is so childish.
If you think that bullying people to think you way then you are not a true American!
We protect each other not taunt and ridicule each other. Let people state their mind and you state yours.
That is AMERICA!
Come on crack babies. ACORN hires people to register voters. At the wages they pay, they do not get the cream of the crop and rather than do the work, the make fake registrations to meet their quotas. BY LAW ACORN has to turn in all the registrations they get, and unlike GOP operatives in the news lately, they follow the law and turn them in - often marking the ones they believe are suspect. Your fellow crack addicts, after filling in false registrations because they’re too lazy to do the work, aren’t going to go around voting under the false registrations they created. It’s about the money for them, not the election.
USA, USA, USA…. NooooooooooBAMA!
im voting DEMOCRAT because it makes perfect sense to work my ass off all my life and get lots of money only to watch it go to poor lazy people who dont pay taxes in the first place.
