This is a crack at Senator Obama's presidential qualifications and his potential role as a figurehead if elected.
Joe Biden on Barak Obama when asked if he thinks Obama is ready to be President:
"I think he can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training."
Democratic running mates Barack Obama and Joe Biden appeared together for the first time Aug. 23, 2008 before a cheering crowd of an estimated 35,000 supporters gathered in Springfield, Ill., where Obama began his presidential run more than 19 months ago.
The news came to millions via text and e-mail messages.
Biden is quoted evaluating presidential rivals Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-New York, former Sen. John Edwards, D-North Carolina, and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois. His remarks about Obama, the only African-American serving in the Senate, drew the most scrutiny.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man." Biden issued a statement saying: "I deeply regret any offense my remark in the New York Observer might have caused anyone. That was not my intent and I expressed that to Sen. Obama."

Biden, 65, brings immediate heft and foreign policy credentials to a ticket topped by the 47-year-old Obama. The Delaware Democrat first won his job in the Senate more than 35 years ago -- when Obama was only 11 years old -- and has been re-elected five times since.
He's chaired both the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Judiciary Committee, and raised his profile recently by traveling on a fact-finding mission to war-torn Georgia, where he called for increased U.S. aid to the country and for peacekeeping forces.
The trip underscored his vast foreign policy experience -- something that is lacking from Obama's resume. Biden is also thought to be someone who could hold his own during a vice presidential debate.
McCain called Biden to offer him congratulations and to pass the same from his wife, Cindy. The two men have served together on opposite sides of the aisle in the Senate for years.

The republicans did't tell Obama to choose Biden to be his VP, and to me this combination of names is not a coincidence. This is a warning of the Universe that I won't ignore. Osama Bin Laden, besides being a terrorist, is a false prophet. All of the false prophets are charismatic and attract people to lead them to false causes, wars, death, hate, etc. Obama has an ego which is growing fast. He may look not dangerous now. Imagine him in 1 year feeling that he is the most powerful man on earth.
