Obama Biden 08

Biden Has Served As Obama's Top Foreign Policy Critic, Even Saying Obama Is Not Ready To Be President:

Biden Said Obama Is Not Ready To Serve As President. ABC's George Stephanopoulos: "You were asked is he ready. You said '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.'" Sen. Biden: "I think that I stand by the statement." (ABC's, "This Week," 8/19/07)

Biden: "If the Democrats think we're going to be able to nominate someone who can win without that person being able to table unimpeachable credentials on national security and foreign policy, I think we're making a tragic mistake..." (Sen. Joe Biden, "The Diane Rehm Show," 8/2/07)
Biden: "Having Talking Points On Foreign Policy Doesn't Get You There." ("Biden Lashes Out At Obama," ABC News' "Political Radar" Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 8/2/07)
Biden Attacked Obama For Voting Against Funding U.S. Troops In Iraq And Afghanistan, Accusing Him Of "Cutting Off Support That Will Save The Lives Of Thousands Of American Troops." Biden: "And, look, Tim, if you tell me I've got to take away this protection for these kids in order to win the election, some things aren't worth it. Some things are worth losing over. That would be worth losing over. Hundreds of lives are being saved and will be saved by us sending these vehicles over which we are funding with this supplemental legislation. And I want to ask any of my other colleagues, would they, in fact, vote to cut off the money for those troops to protect them? That's the right question. This isn't cutting off the war. This is cutting off support that will save the lives of thousands of American troops." (NBC's "Meet The Press," 9/9/07)

Biden On Obama's Leadership On Iraq: "I Don't Recall Hearing A Word From Barack About A Plan Or A Tactic." (Jason Horowitz, "Biden Unbound: Lays Into Clinton, Obama, Edwards," The New York Observer, 2/4/07)

Biden On Whether He Would Meet Unconditionally With The Leaders Of Rogue States As Obama Said He Would: "Absolutely Positively No." Biden: "Would I make a blanket commitment to meet unconditionally with the leaders of each of those countries within the first year I was elected president? Absolutely positively no." (Sen. Joe Biden, Remarks At The National Press Club, Washington, DC, 8/1/07)

Biden Attacked Obama's Public Pronouncement That He Would Unilaterally Attack Pakistan, Saying "The Last Thing You Want To Do Is Telegraph To The Folks In Pakistan That We're About To Violate Quote 'Their Sovereignty.'" Biden: "[A]nd I'm told, Senator Obama announced today. Senator Lantos (sic) and I wrote into law, the requirement that the aid to Pakistan be conditioned upon their support of us going after Al Qaeda in their Western province. It already is a law. The question, the way to deal with it is not to announce it, is to do it. The last thing you want to do is telegraph to the folks in Pakistan that we're about to violate quote 'their sovereignty,' putting Musharraf in a position that makes it virtually impossible for him to do anything other than what he's done. Basically cut a deal with the warlords along that border to our great detriment. So it's not something you talk about." (Sen. Joe Biden, Remarks At The National Press Club, Washington, DC, 8/1/07)

Biden Criticized Obama's "Johnny-Come-Lately Position" On Afghanistan. "The Biden for President Campaign today congratulated Sen. Barack Obama for arriving at a number of Sen. Biden's long-held views on combating al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Much of what Senator Obama has proposed Senator Biden has already initiated or accomplished." (Sen. Joe Biden, "Biden Campaign Congratulates Sen. Obama For Johnny-Come-Lately Position," Press Release, 8/1/07)

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,

And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout;

But there is no joy in Mudville — mighty Casey has struck out.

So how is the Obam Presidency looking Danny? You must be proud. Great vote. Really got your change huh? Isn't even in office yet and your president is looking mighty McSame.

Someone has sold you a bill of goods that says change will always be for the better. Change can be for the worst as well. This is a new world we live in. All the top economists thought they new how to fix this mess, but it appears nobody knows what to do. Your boy Barney the toe tappin Frank said there wasn't anything wrong with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Like I said... Your guy better be allot smarter than I think he is, or we are going to be in some serious do-do!

I hope Obama is everything you think he is, cause if he's not, things can get worse.... allot worse!!

I am hoping it gets worse before it gets better, a bad economy will get rid of a lot of the dead wood that has been ripping us off for a long time. Getting rid of the dead wood will stimulate new growth! Are you dead wood? LOL If so the country will be better of without you. This country needs people that are not afraid to bring in new ideas.

What is the approval rating based on? HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING YET! Bush had a high approval rating after 911 as well.

GWB's approval rating was never as high, Obama's approval rating is based on the near universal perception that finally we have a President that is not brain dead in the White House. Sure things can get worse before they get better, but remember most of the problems that the President elect will be tackling he inherited from the dummy that is leaving the White House.

Only time will tell! I really think the nation is in for some hugh surprises with this president. I'd like to see if you are still an Obombya fan after four years. I hope he is everything you think he is for the sake of our country!!

After 8 years of GWB we can only go up! So far Obama has an 82% approval rating, even 62% of Republicans like him now. The Obamian Age starts next month, the Republican Party is comatose after 8 years of GWB, it will be years before they recover.

The neo-cons are dead, certain forces have linked to form a more powerful force which the neo cons will be hard press to beat with their present retro mentality. No, I'm not going to tell you who they are, but I know what conclusion that you are going to jump to, so before I read your next comment let me respond with LOL.

Elephant man said

Wrong again Danny. If McCain had listened to his conservative base he would have won the election. You really do not know enough about politcs do ya?

LMAO - Amazing, you are still in denial, from your last few comments I can tell that you still do not understand what has happened, and why McCain lost. Apparently I know more than you about politics,after all I picked the winner, while you are still talking the same old bullshit that won't work anymore.

McCain listened to you neo con jerks and he surely regrets that. Wake up, the 21st century begins next month, you are going to be very surprised with the changes that are coming, now that we have someone with brains in the White House. Stay clear of Rahm he will singe your butt.
