ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.
"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "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 if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

Mark my words, Plugs: The same guys you figure are going to generate a crisis to test The One wouldn’t dare try it with John McCain.
The Obama people are goign to do what the ACCUSE the Buish administration of doing - creating a phoney crisis. If many Americans are killed, in order to turn up the rage - then so be it.
It might even be this mythical “domestic terrorism” the MSM bables about - a staged event where we are told conservatives are the bad guys, in order to direct American suspicion and hate onto conservatives.
Read any of the leftie policial tracts - this kind of staged “hate crime” is what they do - and there is an extensive track record there already.
As far as “unpopular” - what Bush did after 9/11 was VERY popular - but what Obama is going to do - seize control, shut down free speech, ban guns, arrest protesters and opposition members will be UNPOPULAR.
Biden seems to be telling us this.
Demonrats are our enemies best friends because they share the same hatred for this country and come from a point of weakness. Obama is going to be hated more than Bush ever was...
Unfortunately, I think the hatred will come from the conservative side. We will go through a lot of pain, but the lefties will not have learned a thing.
“he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.”
Could it be the “generated crisis” will allow Obama the “excuse” to implement national ID cards, rationing, etc. in the interest of “national security”? Amazing that Biden would come out and say this.
How can that be? I thought the world loves the one.
What a great commercial for McCain! Thanks, Joe! ;)
Well if THAT doesn't scare any undecideds or wobbly voters, I don't know what will- BO doesn't have the experience to see a Daisy troop through a crisis much less the country.
Is stable hand a union job, can he gird his own loins or does he need an assistant?
Massive barf alert.
All they need now is Barbara Billingsly to reverse translate Scranton Joe’s high-toned rhetoric into jive for the 0 crowd.
So is O’Biden admitting to a “Reichstag Fire” type of false flag event that will force us to conform for the sake of the homeland? We might as well get that meme ready, the loony left has been using it for 7 years now.
“It is believed that the conservative terrorists got the plans for the Chicago bomb from the Internet, which has been safely shut down. Rush Limbaugh, while not the planner, was the instigator and has confessed to espousing a conservative philosophy...”
But seriously, most crises involving people are generated. natural disasters happen, but wars, economic problems, and so forth are caused by people and are all “generated”.
Israel attacks Iran.
That line of thinking leads down some very ugly roads.
Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.IOW, if elected President, Obama will make tough, unpopular decisions -- much like the AG of Ohio has tried to do in order to engineer a phony election victory for Obama -- and will thereby precipitate an international crisis. The Missile Crisis resulted from the Bay of Pigs, and, although the Brigade was recruited, organized, trained, and exposed by the media during the Eisenhower administration, it was Kennedy who went ahead with the plan, then muffed out, convincing the Kremlin that he was indecisive and easy to push around due to his youth and inexperience.
Hey Biden: Pogrom much?
It might not have been a good idea for Biden to have mentioned JFK and Obama in the same speech. Hillary did that and it got her into a lot of trouble!
Matter of fact do we really want a leader that our enemies will feel tempted to “test”, the way JFK was “tested”?
Might be a great campaign ad but no one is asking me...I’m just plain Mike, the RN!
