Obama Clarifies Biden's Prediction, Says Either Candidate Will Face 'Generated Crisis'

No, it will be an internal crisis. They need the chaos to impose their agenda. 0bama and a super-majority congress. My mind is racing over some of the posts on this thread.

A ‘generated’ crisis= manufactured crisis?

Powell's comments from Sunday?

Socialist's don't usually need chaos. Why would a super-majority party need a ‘generated crisis?’

Democrats always telegraph their intents, can't keep their mouths shut. Biden got in trouble for his statements.

Something is up.

“I think that Joe sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes,”

It doesn't sound like Joe Biden is ready to step in to the President's position on day 1.

I have no particular link for this, I just goggled January 21 2009 to see what would come up (if anything). Plenty of articles/blogs on this:

On January 21st, 2009 the documentary "Torturing Democracy" will air on PBS. It details "how the government set aside the rule of law" in its pursuit of harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists. PBS won't run it nationally until January 21, 2009. Scott Horton suspects that may be because PBS is afraid of political retaliation.

I wonder if this will have any bearing on the January 21/22 remarks powell made. I can see how this sort of "documentary" can inflame many factions - including the left vs right in this country if Obama decides he should prosecute it somehow. The implications are astounding.

Obama said the key reason the next president will face such threats is because of the damaging policies of the past eight years

I wonder if I can get my 8 year old to write "It's Bush's Fault" for all his test answers until the election, and improve his grades at the same time?

Yes they are.

I truly hope this is much ado about nothing.

But the fact of the matter is that these statements were made by Four-Star General and Former Secretary of State Colin Powell and five term United States Senator and Vice President nominee Joe Biden. It's not like we are trying to interpret Nostradamus and if they didn't want to worry the American people they should have keep their mouths shut.

The word Generated is worrisome as well. An overblown documentary, depending on content, could very well generate a crisis.

The word Generated is worrisome and scary as well. An overblown, liberally biased documentary about how our country tortured Muslims could very well generate a crisis -including an attack on this country. An attack that an obama president would see as "just" in light of what the documentary revealed.

I don't think they want to keep their mouths shut.
