It is amazing to me that so much attention has been paid to Governor Palin and almost none to "Mighty" Joe Biden. Whether it is forgetting which Article of the Constitution defines the role of the Vice-President (or for that matter what the role of the Vice-President is), claiming FDR used television to calm people down during the Stock Market Crash of 1929, or confusing who are enemies in the world, Joe always seems to manage to top himself.
During a campaign stop in the State of Washington on October 19, 2008, Biden warned all in attendance that the United States of America would face an international crisis immediately if we elected Obama, in large part because of Obama inexperience:
"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking."
"Gird your loins," Biden told the crowd."
"Lions," who talks like that anymore? Barack Obama is no John Kennedy, and even if he was, this is not the time for the President of the United States to deal with a test from our enemies. Joe Biden is finally making the argument many of us have been making about Obama…..he is not ready to eat at the grownup table.
In fact, the reality of JFK cannot stand up to the myth of JFK. Kennedy met with Khrushchev unconditionally, which Khrushchev perceived as weakness. The Berlin Wall was built under Kennedy’s watch, and he did nothing but declare himself to be a pastry. The Cuban Missile Crisis happened under Kennedy’s watch, due in large part because Khrushchev deemed Kennedy as weak and inexperienced. The fable that Kennedy “stood up” to the Russian is just that, a fantasy. America learned years later that Kennedy conceded our missile defense bases in Turkey in exchange for Khrushchev withdrawing his missiles from Cuba. The Kennedy spin machine made sure that American’s concessions were hidden from the rest of the world.
Obama has been wrong about the surge. Obama first reaction regarding Russia’s invasion of George was wrong. Obama was wrong to state that he would sit down unconditional with thugs and dictators, and he was wrong when he described Cuba, Iran, Syria, and Venezuela as just “small” countries that are “not dangerous.” Obama first reaction, like that of his running mate, regarding World affairs has been constantly wrong. Combine that with what Biden said, and we should be very afraid!
Biden is also reinforcing what he stated during the debates regarding Obama's lack of readiness to lead. In the midst of a worldwide financial crisis, and with enemies waiting to strike, we should heed Biden's words, and elect someone the world will not put to a test…..John McCain.
