OOPS!!! .....Biden slips bigtime and tells the real truth!

Quote from AMT4SWA:

Barack Obama will face an international crisis early in his presidency, Joe Biden warns, fueling Republican charges that the Democratic presidential candidate's own running mate admits Obama is a blank slate in the face of coming national security threats.

Speaking in Seattle on Sunday, Biden said he could guarantee that the world will want to find out if Obama is up to the job, which he assured voters he is.

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking," Biden said.

"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. And he's gonna have to make some really tough -- I don't know what the decision's gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it's gonna happen," Biden continued.

Why did you not print the rest of Biden's remarks? Which are as follows:

“They’re going to want to test him, just like they did young John Kennedy. They’re going to want to test him. And they’re going to find out this guy’s got steel in his spine.” Biden said.
 
You're smug not bright. :p Do you need a President right now being tested. I can live without a President needing to show spine. People are going to take shots left and right and while on the "easy" decisions-Iraq vs. Israel-I'm sure Obama will react decisively but what about reigning in Chavez let alone the BIGGIE, how to mettle in Pakistan without causing Jihad. We're in for a brutal set of confrontations. I told my liberal neighbor a few weeks back that by 2010 he'll long for the quiet days of the hated Bush years........

“We’re going to face a major international challenge,” Biden said. “They’re going to want to test him, just like they did young John Kennedy. They’re going to want to test him. And they’re going to find out this guy’s got steel in his spine.” Biden said.
 
Just what we need, a president who every nut job on the earth perceives to be weak. You can see these foaming at the mouth right now.

But I think BO will just SMS the bad guys and set up a meeting to work it all out.
 
I wonder if the candidates have been briefed on something, and "foot n mouth" Biden let is slip.

There was a recent article about Bush working with both campaigns for a smooth transition........

Bush Creates Council for Transition

President Bush created a special council yesterday to guide the transition to a new administration, another step toward the end of Bush's eight tumultuous years in office.

Under an executive order signed by Bush, a newly created Presidential Transition Coordinating Council will meet Wednesday to begin mapping out an orderly handoff to Republican John McCain or Democrat Barack Obama.

The McCain and Obama campaigns have already begun preparations for a possible transition. The White House said the administration has been working with representatives from both sides since the summer and has provided security clearances for key aides.

"It has probably never been more critical that a transition from an administration, from one to the next, is as seamless as possible," said Dana Perino, White House press secretary. "Our nation is at war, we are dealing with a financial crisis and we are trying to protect ourselves from terrorist attacks."
 
Something else to consider.

Everyone assumes that with an Obama victory, Israel will be pressed to use military action between Nov 4 and Jan 2009 gainst Iran.

If they really view Obama as not freindly to Israel, why not launch the attack before the elections? Could make the difference in the election. Just something to think about.
 
The reason Joe said this was so that when something does happen - anything will do - Obama can then say all bets are off, we can't live up to our promises from the campaign. When people complain he will point to this and say "You were warned."
 
In the primary, Biden said Obama was not ready to be prez, and now he said he will be tested. Hmmmm. Maybe Biden doesn't know who's side he is on. Or maybe he does...
