Biden to Supporters: "Gird Your Loins", For the Next President "It's Like Cleaning Augean Stables"
ABC ^ | October 20, 2008 | Matthew Jaffe

Posted on 10/20/2008 7:57:18 AM PDT by wm_tate

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.

So now Obama is Hercules.

Sure, he’ll clean up the “stables”, just like he did all those years when he was in Springfield. I don’t know if non-Illinoisans know it, but motorists on I-55 can see a glow coming off Springfield, day or night, since The One had been there.

Biden said he (an idiot) can tell us 4 or 5 ways in which this crisis may originate because of Obama’s election!

Question, what if ALL 5 originate?? Good God.

Thing that really gets me about this Biden statement is he didn’t just say it, he repeated it, gave details, was emphatic, and said if you remember anything he said before the election, remember this!

I really want to see this retraction. It will be a doozy.

You know the way Biden phrased this it easily could mean abandoning an ally. Maybe Taiwan. I think Biden left China off his list. It was an omission like that which I think led to the Korean War!

Biden predicts early crisis will test Obama
Posted: 08:00 AM ET

From CNN Political Producer Alexander Marquardt
Biden predicts Obama will have to make some unpopular decisions in his first six months in office.
Biden predicts Obama will have to make some unpopular decisions in his first six months in office.

SEATTLE (CNN) — Joe Biden told Democratic fundraisers Sunday night that there is no doubt in his mind a crisis will occur during Barack Obama’s first six months in office that will test his mettle and force him to make unpopular decisions....

Also troubling is, if Joe “a three letter word, J-O-B-S” Biden said 4 or 5 ways, how many does that really mean?

As opposed to sanitizing the oval office sink when the ‘toon left.

“Gird your loins,” Biden told the crowd. “We’re gonna win with your help, God willing,.....

There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, 'Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don't know about that decision'," Biden continued. "Because if you think the decision is sound when they're made, which I believe you will when they're made, they're not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not sound."

Ok, someone tell me what this means?

The campaigns had a security briefing last week. I bet Israel is going to strike Iran’s nuke facility’s and Obama intends to do nothing.

Joe boy is trying to set up an excuse as to why. Our military isn’t strong enough seems to be his excuse.

"And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

That's right JoeBi. If/when you win fraudulently count on the the election results being contested. So by you telling Demorats to "influence" the community I think that you are giving a tacit OK to riot.And yes, MY IQ is much higher than yours.

Jesus, doesn’t Biden know you DON’T project weakness to our enemies, not only that he is predicting failure, this is not hope and change.

There should be a McCain commercial on this right now, he should be talking about this on the stump.

NOW is the moment, do you remember President Bush in 2004, he got Kerry good, he kept asking on the stump, Senator Kerry needs to tell us if he had his vote back, would he still vote for the Iraq War, the idiot Kerry answered weakly, he took the bait.

So now, McCain should be asking every day, Obama, what is Biden talking about, you are asking people to entrust you with the Presidency, what is this weakness that you are projecting??

I’m sure you guys could come up with a better question, but I think this is campaign gold.

It means Obama will declare a national emergency and institute martial law.

“McCain should seize on this.”

Exactly, hammer home the international danger using Biden's gaff and Powell's statement that he wasn't worried about Obama's inexperience because he would surround him self with knowledge people (that means he is easily manipulated). Next, pivot for an attack on his overall inexperience. Go ahead and bring up Sarah and say that for all of the Democrats charges of inexperience, she's still more qualified than Obama. Say she was hired because she was someone that that has taken on corruption in and out of her party. Not because she always sided in lockstep with her party (Obama) or because of a need to provide adult supervision for Obama(Biden). For the final thrust, ask if we really want to trust the country's future entirely to an empty suit Obama and 10% approval rating Pelozi/Reid Democratic congress. Note: I'm RedDog#1 and I approved this rant.

What he's saying is this:

We'll probably have to use the military, likely preemptively. But when WE want to use the military, we need the Left to support it. We only want you to protest the use of the military when Republicans use the military after we've been attacked.
