Interesting that you said Iran found Carter spineless. Biden said “they” are going to learn Obama has a steel spine.

I “rhetorical flourish” in the rats general direction./.../

In this case rhetorical flourish means, “He told the truth that must not be mentioned.”

Whoever hits us - I sure hope it’s not the Bosniak’s.

Obama’s first position was that Palin was not qualified to be president. His current position is that Biden is not qualified to even talk about who should be president.

Obama’s judgment - Opposition to troop surge, selection of Senator Biden for VP. Really gives you confidence doesn't it.

[Anima Mundi]

Great. Now I am going to get investigated, right?

"I think Joe sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes."

Er ... does that mean we shouldn't "gird our loins"?

Or that Obama's not going to "clean the Augean stables"?

BIDENTHINK - What'n the HELL have I hitched my ass up to?? This greenhorn is gonna get somebody...." Oh, hello BOSS, XXXOOO!!!

“I think Joe sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes.”

Well, we can only hope that if he is sitting in the Oval office, our nation one the brink of war, that he doesn’t have a rhetorical flourish.

"I think Joe sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes."

Whew... is that all it was! I thought Biden had an aneurysms what with his seizure-like winking, blinking, painful grimacing and wild scaremongering.

Nah, that's the botox. ;-)

Probably Biden meant that Obama Hussein was going to get ACORN to steal one for him from a Conservative.
