"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." -- Joe Biden
"Biden to Supporters: 'Gird Your Loins', For the Next President 'It's Like Cleaning Augean Stables'"

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."
"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. "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."

Great headline — somebody’s has a talent for it.
The only question is whether Obama will provoke it or start it himself.

You really think this hasn’t been posted today?
But I thought The One was going to make the whole world love us?!
Idioto! abortion joe is a dope!
The crisis could be from this bunch:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/04/AR2008010404300_pf.html
"The immediate cause of the crisis was Kenya's delicate ethnic balance. The incumbent president, Kibaki, is a member of Kenya's largest and probably most powerful ethnic group, the Kikuyu, who total about 22 percent of the population; his rival, Odinga, is a member of the Luo, who comprise some 13 percent of the populace and live predominantly in western Kenya. In their bitter contest, in which Odinga promised to end ethnic favoritism and spread the country's wealth more equitably, ethnicity was the deciding factor, and a marred victory on either side had always been likely to spark violence. "
Rightly dubbed by Glenn Beck “Biden’s creepy speech.”
It could be a manufactured crisis to rally the US public behind Obama. Dictators always need a bogeyman to herd the sheep in the right direction.
Joe Biden is a stupid, stupid vain man. I don’t know if this will get traction with the masses but it is certainly the most idiotic thing a VP candidate has ever said.
No need to test Obama’s mettle- he doesn’t have any! Just look at what a bunch of losers his friends are- and those are the ones he CLAIMS!
I really like Biden.
He is the gift that keeps on giving.
Unfortunately.. the sheep might not listen.
This current economic “crisis” was manufactured for some purpose. I question the timing as well.
And you thought your thoughts were worth typing out?
I don’t care how many times this is posted.
Everyone needs to know that an Obama/Biden administration is bad for our security.
I hope 1 million other people post this story all over the internet.
btt
This tells me he’s been briefed on what’s going on with Iran and Israel and that BO is going to go against Israel.
Mark MY words.
Who would have guessed that Biden would unleash a self-inflicted October surprise??
Actually, coming to think of it... what’s taken so long??
