From McCain's prepared remarks for an event in Belton, Missouri, where he hit Obama's foreign policy instincts:
The next President won’t have time to get used to the office. We face many challenges here at home, and many enemies abroad in this dangerous world. Just last night, Senator Biden guaranteed that if Senator Obama is elected, we will have an international crisis to test America’s new President. We don’t want a President who invites testing from the world at a time when our economy is in crisis and Americans are already fighting in two wars.
What is more troubling is that Senator Biden told their campaign donors that when that crisis hits, they would have to stand with them because it wouldn't be apparent Senator Obama would have the right response.
Forget apparent. Senator Obama won’t have the right response, and we know that because we’ve seen the wrong response from him over and over during this campaign. He opposed the surge strategy that is bringing us victory in Iraq and will bring us victory in Afghanistan. He said he would sit down unconditionally with the world's worst dictators. When Russia invaded Georgia, Sen. Obama said the invaded country should show restraint.
We cannot spend the next four years as we have spent much of the last eight: hoping for our luck to change at home and abroad. We have to act. We need a new direction, and we have to fight for it.

Yes.
NAILED IT
DON”T LET THIS ONE GO
Biden said Obama would be the target of multi-attacks just like JFK was. Well the attack on JFK killed him. Surely Biden isn’t suggesting such a horrible fate for Obama! But then that would allow Biden to be president.
Joe Biden: The gift that keeps on giving.
Are you truly a Former Democrat? I volunteer at the local Republican HQ and SO MANY people have told me that they have always been Democrats and they always will be but this time they are voting Republican. Even their elderly parents and grandparents are Democrats voting for McCain!

The Plumber
and
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVIN' ;-)
If, God forbid, anything happened to Obama before the election, wouldn’t they hold another hasty meeting and choose Hill to top the ticket? So Biden would be a bridesmaid again. Never a bride. Sigh.
McCain stepped on his own line twice today and ruined a gift from God.
Yes, buffy, I have to admit I once was. My whole family was, I saw the light first and voted for GOP in 1976, my parents were right behind. None of us ever looked back, in fact, there would be many times when we would hear something on radio or TV and say “I’d be ashamed to be a Democrat nowadays.” They’ve truly gotten wackier and less patriotic.
If Joe has forgotten more than most in Congress know, it doesn’t say a lot about the knowledge of his colleagues in Congress, does it?
Ha Ha..Obama is being done in by two Joe’s.
(Biden, and the Plumber)
The tale of two Joes.
Perfect response from McCain! Keep hammering him!
Send his Muslim butt back to Kenya!
There is a school of thought that Joe is getting cold feet about an Obama presidency and is trying to subtly scupper the ship.
“We don’t want a President who invites testing from the world at a time when our economy is in crisis and Americans are already fighting in two wars.”
Folks... this ONE sentence sums up this election. McCain needs to hammer this thought over and over again RIGHT NOW.
I’ve been away from tv all day.
How did McCain step on his line twice?
