Biden was stating that an international crisis is imminent in the next months of the Presidency - not that it would be BECAUSE Obama was in office - only that it would happen in the months to come, and Obama WOULD be in office.

Positive:

' - not that it would be BECAUSE Obama was in office'

No he said one would be generated to test Obama. His words:

''And here's the point I want to make. Mark my words. Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.... 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. '

You can't spin it otherwise. McCain has already been tested... Obama has 143 days in the senate. No one knows what he will do or how he will react to anything.

'We don't want a president who invites testing from the world at a time when our economy is in crisis and Americans are already fighting in two wars,' McCain said Tuesday in Harrisburg, Pa. 'America will not have a president who needs to be tested. I've been tested'

You totally missed his point. Instead of tutored, maybe groomed you might understand.

McCain's egoOct 23rd, 2008 - 15:00:36

He is constantly saying 'I can do this, I can do that, I know how to do it, I know where Osama is, I know how to get him'! Now - 'I've been tested'! Yeah and he's failed. And as far as Biden's remarks about Obama being 'tested' - he didn't say the President, but Obama, as he was pointing out that HE would be the President, not McCain! And this country would definitely be in a military crisis if war monger McCain is in office.

love Obama - that should be your first clue to not vote for him

then look at what he has spent his whole career working on and see for yourself

he has worked with ACORN and developers and bankers all to force taxpayers to pay for low income people to buy homes

now they can use their section 8 housing voucher to buy a home and it is a home that has a totally unfair market value, because of laws that say that 20% or more of housing has to be low income

so you and I pay for it all when we cannot even afford a home ourselves

then Robert Rubin, Obama's economic advisor, was one of the key players to repeal Glass Steagull, allowing the current subprime mess

our current crisi is based on the very same policies Obama has promoted his whole life - that is why the corporations want him

so they can keep doing the same exact thing they have been doing

taking our money and handing it over to bankers by channeling it through developers of housing projects

it's crooked - please do not vote for crooks

SNL has no reason to portray Michelle Obama - it's Palin and her ridiculous statements, diction, and lack of knowledge that make her fodder for entertainment.

Hey Mr. O, Its the constitution stupid!
Provide your birth certificate for ALL the country to see to prove you are a natural born citizen. Its the LAW stupid. He WILL NOT produce it. Why! Maybe because he kinows he really isn't eligible to run for president because he is NOT a natural born citizen. Like it or not messiah lovers its the law-Obide by it stupid! So you socialists answer the question. Why has he not produced that birth certificate! McCain has! Oh yeah I forgot, socialists don't have to adhere to the constitution do they!

Just to correct a couple of Jazzman's facts:

Kathy Boudin most certainly did NOT die in the accidental explosion of the townhouse in Greenwich Village. Three other Weather people died, but Kathy Boudin got out, burned and naked and escaped into the 'Underground' literally and figuratively (she got clothes and subway fare from a neighbor and bolted). She was captured years later in the Brinks robbery in Rockland County and got out of prison a couple years ago.

Also, Bill Ayers didn't do the Capitol bombing. According to Yippie historian and garbologist A.J. Weberman, he had it from Rubin that it was the Yippies' Stew Albert who helped carry out the bombing and that Ayers, whilei nvoled in other bombings, was not involved except maybe peripherally, in the D.C. action.

I've seen stories that imply that it was Zbigniew Brezinski who identified and groomed Obama as far back as when he was at Columbia. Thoughit is unclear to me how Zbiggy, a graduate adviser and seminar leader, would hook up with a transfer student undergraduate who didn't get involved on campus much at all. Zbiggy is one of Obama's main fopo advisers however. Ithink I'm mre worried about his Corn Lobby advisers like Tom Daschle who will continue to kill us with ethanol and HFCS. Hemp for Oil; Not Blood!
