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.

Plagiarizing myself:

Joe trying to inoculate himeself and Obama from the abject incompetence and loss of credibility our avowed enemies perceive (and rightly) in any potential success of the “Obama/Biden” WH run.

Biden has corrected his statement. At the next campaign stop he explained that Obama is much more likely to cause an economic panic first, so everyone should calm down about the international crisis.

Maybe this should have been titled, “Little-known detail in Obama health plan?

Does “girding” involve duct tape?

McCain should seize on this. This is exactly what went through my mind.

The “tough, and possibly unpopular decision” will involve America’s abject, grovelling surrender to [fill in the blank].

Super Glue? Ouch...

I think Sarah should ask Joe how women should prepare for an Obama administration.

I think the Democratic ticket is a bit light in the loafers...loins, girding...they could be cast as extras in a gay S&M flick.

What’s next, getting strapped to a futon?

There’s so much strange stuff Biden said, and he didn’t know the press was there. I can’t even figure out what he’s saying, and I think now that it’s on the record, he should have to explain himself in more detail.

“I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I’m not being falsely humble with you. I think I can be value added, but this guy has it,” the Senate Foreign Relations chairman said of Obama. “This guy has it. But he’s gonna need your help. Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, ‘Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?’ We’re gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I’m asking you now, I’m asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you’re going to have to reinforce us.”

“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.”

And this statement is made following news reports regarding Obie and Co. receiving classified threat briefings.

Way to go Joe.

Are you implying that Joe the Senator isn’t your average Joe?

I missed the beginning of Glenn Beck’s critique, is this the speech he was talking about, he said after the break he will be going into more detail on this speech.

Didn’t Biden also say on Saturday that racism was going to play into Election Day?

It will involve our surrender and probably the distribution of some of our land to our enemies for the special Muslim Homeland; or maybe some to the Chinese for the special Collective Farm. That actually was part of the Weather Underground plan back in the 70s. They thought that when they took over the government, they would offer certain areas for occupation by their allies, such as Cuba, Communist China and North Vietnam.

Oh, I guess it will probably require the reeducation camps for those of us who object, which was also a dream of the Weathermen.
