Biden Guarantees an International Crisis in Six Months if Obama Wins [DOUBLE UPDATED]
By Ani on October 20, 2008 at 3:33 PM in ABC News, Barack Obama, Joe Biden
[UPDATE from Larry Johnson: My friend, Joe Wilson, alerted me to the following video. It is vital we remember what it is like to have a nice guy who is unprepared to handle a crisis in the White House. It also is instructive to remember that it was John McCain who bucked the Republican leadership and pressed the issue of having the 9-11 Commission. That would not have happened without McCain's intervention. Just another uncomfortable fact.
UPDATE II: Here's the note from Joe Wilson that accompanied the video--Larry,
While I know that No Quarter remains the go to place for those who doubt that Obama is a worthy candidate for President, I think it is important to at least remember what John McCain’s party has done to this country over the past eight years. With that in mind, I wanted to invite your attention to a short (six minute) film put together by a two highly respected film makers here in Santa Fe. It reviews in poignant images the 9/11 attack and the response of W. in the school. While we all have heard the My Pet Goat story, it is here contrasted with events as they unfold contemporaneously in New York. I think that everybody ought to be reminded that this is the party that John McCain represents before they step in the voting booth. Thanks.
Joe]
Biden to Supporters: “Gird Your Loins” from ABC News Matthew Jaffe:
This is from the mouth, or the bigmouth of Senator Joe Biden, Obama’s running mate:
Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.
I really can’t even comment about the gravity of these remarks – but leave you to Joe himself:
“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. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. 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.”
“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”
Not only will the next administration have to deal with foreign affairs issues, Biden warned, but also with the current economic crisis.
“Gird your loins,” Biden told the crowd. “We’re gonna win with your help, God willing, we’re gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It’s like cleaning the Augean stables, man. This is more than just, this is more than – think about it, literally, think about it – this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just markets. This is a systemic problem we have with this economy.”
“I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I’m not being falsely humble with you. I think I can be value added, but this guy has it,” the Senate Foreign Relations chairman said of Obama. “This guy has it. But he’s gonna need your help. Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, ‘Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?’ We’re gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I’m asking you now, I’m asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you’re going to have to reinforce us.”
“There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, ‘Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don’t know about that decision’,” Biden continued. “Because if you think the decision is sound when they’re made, which I believe you will when they’re made, they’re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.”
Biden emphasized that the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border is of particular concern, with Osama bin Laden “alive and well” and Pakistan “bristling with nuclear weapons.”
“You literally can see what these kids are up against, our kids in that region,” Biden said in recalling when his helicopter was forced down due to a snowstorm there. “The place is crawling with al Qaeda. And it’s real.”“We do not have the military capacity, nor have we ever, quite frankly, in the last 20 years, to dictate outcomes,” he cautioned. “It’s so much more important than that. It’s so much more complicated than that. And Barack gets it.”
I left the entirety of his statements here because it sounds to me like this man is babbling. So at the head of the ticket we have someone thoroughly unprepared to deal with any crisis. And number two on the ticket sounds less than coherent and certainly irresponsible.
Then after he ran off at the mouth for twenty minutes, he noticed that the press was squirreled away in the back of the ballroom.
“I probably shouldn’t have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here,” he joked.
This is not a joke, Senator Biden.
I do not want to elect a man who is going to invite people to put us in harm’s way. Obviously no one is going to mess with John McCain. So what are you trying to say here?
The other scenario is that this sounds almost Bush-like: predicting crisis that we are going to have to answer…what are we being dragged into? What is he hinting at?
Do his statements sound sane and sober you? Is this the ticket any sensible person would want to vote for?
Chat away.
I don’t understand him. Is he trying to lose this election? What an idiot. Of course, this is good for McCain.
Yes, I can’t wait to see McCain’s ad, with Biden as the speaker saying these very words!
Probably no video recored.This was a ” bitter ” moment .Stated behind closed doors at a private fundraiser.
Just like BO here we have Biden getting into territory that was not meant for the public.
He even finished by saying” probably should have said all this,forgot the media is here.
What a nitwit !
No Video But There’s AUDIO.
thank you jesus!!!!!
heh heh…
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
IMPORTANT! REMEMBER, the transition briefing!
Was Joe telling something top secret to this crowd?!
No it was at a rally with the press and I think it is on video. It is on Drudge today, didn’t click the link but I think it was to a video.
And mainstream news has picked this up everywhere!
My God – didn’t GEORGE W. BUSH and his administration make statements just like this???
And I can’t speak for anyone else, but does the possiblility of a 143-day junior U.S. Senator becoming President of the most powerful country in the world fill anyone with pure terror?
yes, it does I didn’t even feel this level of anxiety in the days after 9/11 Scares the shit out of me!! And this Biden comment doesn’t help.
You are speaking for me because I am filled with terror over the possibility of these two dumb dumbs being elected.
An Obama Presidency scares the CRAP out of me so much that I have started to wear DEPENDS…I am only 46! But everytime I hear an Obama ad and think of him in the Oval Office, I crap my pants!!
Frankly, I can’t get enough of Biden talking…keep it going Joey B, all the way until November 4th. Your wisdom is riveting.
He is warning us. <aybe unconscious since drunks tend to tell their own secrets. Something is up with the decision stuff and how we should go along with ANY decision. Hmmmm Any psychologists in the house? ‘Need to connect the dots.
My take: Biden is hinting that BO will try to prove he’s not a wuss like everybody thinks. He’ll become another “war president.” He’ll bring back the draft to “finish what Bush started.”
And since all you women won’t get off his back, he’ll draft the girls too, just to show he’s an Equal Opportunity kind of guy.
Israel, people. ISRAEL!!! That is what this comment was all about. He is telegraphing to people that they will abandon Israel if it coes to it — hence, the “whoa guys. I dont knnow about that decision.”
He was not talking to ordinary voters — he was talking to die hard Dems. People who would say, whoa — I’m not sure about that. Israel is not happy with this quote and any rational Jew or supporter of Israel should be running for the hills after that quote.
Come on and jump on board the team and come on in for the BIG WIN!!
Yeah and when they’re all signed up for duty with their uniforms and equipment, the newly-enlisted troops first duty (along with the back up of their families) is to march on Washington and arrest and jail this “so called” new president.
my take is that barky will have to really clamp down and ask us not to resist
seize guns, shut down press/internet, seize property, civilian guantanamos
he’ll use a crisis for his real agenda
ACORN thugs like Odinga’s…who knows
what’s important is WHO WAS BIDEN SPEAKING WITH were they ACORN people?
LOL
It’s been suggested that Biden is a closet PUMA who’s deliberately trying to throw the election to McCain.
Works for me…
It’s been suggested that Biden is a closet PUMA who’s deliberately trying to throw the election to McCain.
maybe he’s simply a patriot.
Joe Biden is a decent, honest man – he has simply spoken the truth.
Yeah, as honest and decent as any Washington insider who has spent our tax dollars as THEY see fit.
Let’s understand folks: we are not a democracy! The inmates are running the asylum. Corporations and PACs are buying “our” government officials.
And, Joe Biden is no different. Joe Biden is a butt snorkeler like the rest of them.
CREEPY!!!
Biden’s revealing comments remind me of GWB’s uncharacteristic use of the word “trifecta” after the events Sept. 11th.
GWB: “I’ll never forget one time in Chicago when a reporter said, would you ever deficit spend? And I said, well, only — only if we were at war, only if there were a national emergency, or only if there is a recession. Never did I believe we’d get the trifecta. But we’re dealing with it.”
(Sounds like GWB was repeating what he overheard his advisors say.)
You can’t help but wonder if Biden does not want Obama to be president. This is not just a gaffe. This is a theory. He has obviously thought about this. Yeah, Joe, you’re behind Obama a 1000%.
Holy crow. This was not an intentional speech, it was some sort of backroom chataway? Stream of unconsciousness? What did he think he was accomplishing with this? ??
He was clearly babbling — something passive aggressive perhaps. think Joe’s conscience is getting the better of him.
Is Joe Biden a drinking man, by any chance, or worse? Jesus, what are they PLANNING, what is it he is hinting at??? I hope to God it isn’t Israel. We have to stop these people now! This is the most frightening thing I have heard to date, and if Joe Biden knows something is going to go down that will be detrimental to this country, he better speak now and save himself or go down with the radicals later. America will not stand for whatever evils they have planned…we’ve had enough!!! PLEASE, vote McCain!!! Save us all.
Oh well! Makes my voting for McCain that much easier!
I don’t understand why more people aren’t questioning Biden’s mental fitness for office.
I wouldn’t trust him with my car, let alone the highest levels of all security clearences.
Maybe Joe and Bambi have a Hotline direct to Bin Laden. I mean they need it in order to have friendly chats without pre-conditions.
The Jewish Republicans have started their 527 ad against Obama. Concerned about Barack Obama’s Naive Foreign Policy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq9u3GRa97w
I don’t think he is naive, unless it is a type of intentional naivete, and this is just “staging” fo what they want to do:
“There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, ‘Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don’t know about that decision’,” Biden continued. “Because if you think the decision is sound when they’re made, which I believe you will when they’re made, they’re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.”
Excellent
I wonder if Great knows about “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 what she thinks?
*correction Greta
Sane and sober. I don’t think those words apply to Biden.
Wow. Very powerful juxtaposition between Bush, looking like a deer in the headlights, and the Twin Towers in that video.
My number one concern about Bozo is that he will put our country in danger. I think the stupid and naive so-called “progressives” with their hatred of America think that will give Bozo the chance to do the socialist thing–whatever that is. For those of us who’ve been around for a while and know history, we know that an attack on America with a arrogant unqualified twit in office could be a kiss-your-ass goodbye scenario.
Say it ain’t so Joe…you mean if we vote for Barky that our vote will guarantee a terrorist attack on the US?!
That’s the best reason of all NOT to vote for him.
Don’t worry, Obama has the right people advising him, he has Ziggy Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor during the Iran Hostage Crisis. If something big happens Ziggy could just surrender again, like he did in Iran. You see Jimmy and Ziggy didn’t think we should keep supporting the Shah, they thought it better to turn the Country over to the Shite Radicals who are still running the place. Get ready for Jimmy Carter Lite!
Ziggy is the man who approved secret funding through the CIA for the “freedom fighters” in Afghanistan to suck Russia into a long war of failure.
Thanks to Ziggy, we ARMED the mujahadeen there, on purpose, to draw them into Afghanistan, where they stayed for 10 years.
Saudi Arabia helped us fund that “adventure.” And one of the young Saudis who went to Afghanistan to build training camps and work with the CIA to defeat Russia was OSAMA BIN LADEN, who later went on to use his CIA training for other purposes.
Ziggy didn’t think about “unintended consequences” then. He just wanted to defeat the Soviet Union, and let Saudi Arabia pay half of the bill.

You are right – Ziggy and Surrender – I think Joe Biden is referring to our complete surrender when he talks about ““And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”
I think Joe Biden is talking about Obama choosing to dismantle our military and not answering a challenge. As he said in his autobiography – when push comes to shove I know I will always stand with the Palestinian people.
I have zero belief Obama is on our site. ZERO. With Obama as CIC we’re going to have our as% kicked but good. And Joe Biden just confirmed that.
So our neighbors are going to be spying on us and we are going to be spying on them and then report each other to the Obama Gestapo?
What’s scary is that Biden has access to sensitive foreign affairs info. Is it possible that old Joe is basing this on something more than just a hunch?
Yes, didn’t he just get a whitehouse briefing along with McCain/Palin last weekend… something regarding potential threats between Nov 4 and Jan 1, as a way to ease transition to the new administration… is this where he’s getting his information?
Both sides receive security updates and are allowed to have a representative at the daily briefings. I think Obama isn’t allowed to attend because his security clearance is at Senate minimums. Sarah as the Governor of Alaska has a top secret clearance because the Alaska National Guard is on permanent active duty and she is in command of the guard.
I’m looking at Biden’s remarks as a threat to our security. Questions: If nothing happens over the first 6 months will Obama manufacture something to “prove” what a fearless leader he is? When Biden says that we will have to “help out”, is that an excuse for Obama to not keep his tax break promise and instead raise taxes for everyone? I’ll answer that for you, yes it is because his plan is unsustainable. It started out as a lie and will end up that way.
I think Obama isn’t allowed to attend because his security clearance is at Senate minimums.
Well it would seem then that Biden’s would be the same. Just sayin’.
if this is true, and he has concerns based on a briefing, he apparently can’t keep his mouth closed
He took lessons from Pat Leahy. They don’t call him “Leaky Leahy” for nothing.
What is scary is that Obama,as President(God forbid!) will have complete access to US secret foreign and domestic information…who,of America’s enemies, will he “team up” with and what info will he provide them?…This is of GREAT concern and trepidation.
Obama is dangerous for children and all other living things!
Sounds like they have plans we don’t even want to know about. Obama is brilliant? He’s smart as a snake, for sure. Remember the old song about the women who cared for the snake? A snake can only be a snake–smart or dumb.
Maybe we do need an October surprise very soon.
Vote McCain/Palin!
One thing that Obama is NOT is brilliant — he can copy and he can con, but he is not original.
Hillary Clinton is brilliant.
correct; when the obots started repeatedly calling obama “brilliant,” etc. during the primaries, that’s when i knew they had totally lost all connection with the real world.
Yes, using ‘briliant’ in connection with the word Obama in not accurate. It is accurate to say he has a ‘brilliant’ teleprompter operator. And perhaps a lot of good speechwriters.
He has certainly never put one policy together on his own — not one that made any sense.
LOL LOL!
What is Biden saying here…isn’t this a great reason NOT TO VOTE for this man???
Hillary has to be hysterical. This is VERY DAMAGING, and should be a spot for McCain ASAP…make sure the audio is used.
People will not believe that Biden could say something so dumb….they will accuse McCain of race baiting…
Yeah, I can see it now…
BIDEN: “Ahh, well, I did say that, but McCain is using my words in his commercials…he’s racist!”
Great comment, Lisa in VA.
Thank you:-)
Well as long as the liberal left wing media doesn’t report this no one is gonna know, so whose gonna spread it around? If Sarah had said this, WOW, imagine the coverage, basically Joe is saying that in the next 6 months, maybe less, we are gonna be in some deep doo doo and Obama won’t know what to do, WHAT A SHOCK!!
MSNBC reported it!
No, way?!
That’s great, but something like this needs to be replayed and saturated. These are very scary statements, which are well suited and represent some of the obvious fears we all have here on NQ.
We WILL face attack and crisis because of Obama’s inexperience (at the very least).
Please everyone pass this to all media and contacts you can find and demand coverage.
yep, and our enemies know that he’ll cave and give away the store to them when push comes to shove.
So did FOX and CNN and ABC.
Guiliani responded to the comment,and wants Biden to come out with a explanation to what he meant by that/…Gualiani,said Biden seemed so precise,and wants to know what he meant.He was on Greta on Fox tonite.
It’s not just going to be one major crisis, there will be many. The only thing keeping those conflicts corked right now is GW Bush – whether you hate Bush or not – he’s a deterrent.
Obama will be a match to dynamite. Obama sends a message of empathy that energizes and weakness that emboldens – people will take action that they would never dare take under Bush/Clinton/McCain. And we’ll be looking at military intervention across the globe.
And then Obama will institute the draft because it is unfair to place the burden of the military on the AA community. Right?
Perhaps that’s the unpopular part of the Biden prophesy.
I thought the election of the Messiah was gonna change things. Sounds like Phase II of the neo-con fascists.
Yeah he was going to talk all our enemies to death (without preconditions)!
Just to clarify, minorities are under represented in the Volunteer Forces and 70% of the dead in this war are white folks.
1% of the current force doesn’t have a highschool degree as compared to the 21% of the genereal population.
Our fighting force is filled with noble dedicated men and women who believe that their scarifice is worth it. Our nation and its freedoms mean so much to them. Unlike Barack who just doesn’t get it, the American Dream.
Just ask Joe the plumber.
Sarracudea in So Cal, I’m sorry to have to say this, but you’re completely blinded by your right wing beliefs.
Look, the MSM (mainstream media) is NOT “liberal,” and neither is Barack Obama. Not even close. He praised Ronald Reagan and dissed Bill Clinton throughout most of his campaign. Why do you think Colin Powell endorsed Obama? Do you really think Powell has suddenly turned into a “far left liberal” (which BTW is an oxymoron) or–HORRORS–a “socialist?”
Remember that this is the media that was totally in the tank for GW Bush and his war in EyeRack. What does it tell you that they’re now completely in the tank for Obama?
It tells me–a lifetime Liberal Democrat–that Obama is the real Republican in this race, especially since DNC honcho Donna Brazile is Karl Rove’s good, good buddy, and Obama’s campaign has Rove’s fingerprints all over it.
I have been calling him the real Republican in this race for 10 months — along with trhe manchurian candidate.
Me too !!..this is the end game for the take over of the New World Order..Obama is Cheney and the shadow governments guy!!
Obama has one of the most liberal voting records in the Senate. Don’t try to sell “Obama is the real Republican” here.
He does but he is also in the pocket of the telecom industry. This man cannot be labelled as one would a run-of-the-mill politician. Oblockhead is in it for himself and will do whatever the highest bidder wants. So you’re right in that he’s got a liberal record. But he’s also got that NPD thing, which is what one should really focus on.
He takes any position that exemplifies EVIL from either side.
when one does not vote and just votes present ..it distorts what his real record would be!! And as a Junior Senator..with so little time voting in the senate..lwho the hell really knows what he is according to his votes..or non votes as it is.
Voting for Fisa and immunity for treason is not liberal! by any stretch of the imaginiation!
Going to the Canadians and telling them..don’t worry about Nafta..i am blowing it up the asses of the dems for an election..is not liberal.
Refusing to filibuster Alito is not liberal…when his vote was the one that would have caused a filibuster!
Getting the endorsement of Powell..who lied our soldiers into this war and is responsible for the deaths of over 4,000 american soldiers and the deaths of over 100,000 innocent Iraqi’s of which might i add..50 + % the population of Iraq before Powell’s illegal war were under the age of 15..is not liberal.
143 days as a junior senator does not prove what anyone is.
hahahahahahahaha!!!! roflmao!
Back to the telephone ringing at 3 in the morning in the White House. Joe is telling us-it’s not a good thing.
By the way. I think they all want to lose. At least the powers behind the scenes. Nobody in their right mind wants to take over from shrub.
A one termer is almost guaranteed and if it’s Obiwan then the GOP can come back in as saviors in 2012.
it would be a good strategy, were the stakes — with a nuclear Pakistan losing control and Iran on the way to becoming nuclear — not so grave.
Good God, this is just four or five foreign policy problems we “might” have… and what Obama does will not be popular??
We must trust him? Like on the FISA vote? Obama has too many “questionables” about him for me to trust him.
Too.scary.for.words.
It won’t be popular when Obama declares martial law and appoints himself King of America, but Colin Powell will help rally the military to keep the racists in line.
or Caliph, or 12th Imam, or, dare I say it, Antichrist?
What will he do that will be so unpopular? Declare Marshall Law, declare the Constitution invalid, call out his brownshirts, Obama’s National Civilian Security Force plus Farrakhan’s troops?
Put any dissenters in prison?
Doe Obama have something planned already with our enemies so there will be a national crisis and he will have to take complete and utter control?
In his next breath, Biden discussed OBL in Pakistan.
Quite possible our intel has concerns about another hit between election and inauguration.
And Obama has clearly said, that if he had “actionable intel,” he’d go in.
Been a lot of chatter on the Sunday shows that Pakistan is really now our biggest threat…..even bigger than Iran.
If you listen to the entire segment, it’s even worse. because he says that a situation only becomes a crisis when mishandled and he rattles off a list, including Bosnia, Iraq and Somalia. he says Bosnia was handled well and it didn’t become a crisis. so if you analyze what he is saying when he is promising us a crisis, what he is telling us is that Obama will mishandle the situation (no doubt with Joe’s expert help) and therefore we will have a crisis.
by the way, can we start a thread that tells mccain that he must demand that the networks give him equal time to Obama’s 30-minutes buys the Saturday before the election. this is too big to allow. Obama cannot buy this election — with foreign money and with donations from will good and the other phony donors.
Where can you listen to the entire segment?
Try the Drudge Report. It has something up. Upper left hand side.
Sounds like the unpopular decision he is prepping us for is a three letter word: DRAFT.
Yes, the DRAFT, my thoughts exactly. Biden is a donkey. Really. A plain and simple donkey.
Be sure to include this bit of “equal opportunity with a vengeance”.
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08287/919582-470.stm?cmpid=elections.xml
The draft… it’s not just for young men anymore. I am beginning to think Obama has unresolved female issues.
no doubt, but i can’t think of a better way than a draft to turn his army of juvenile delinquent supporters against him.
But you can bet your ass that Biden will insist that asthma not be allowed as an exemption.
Think this isn’t part of a strategy? Bambi does nothing for nothing.
Barack does not want more military. In fact, he would like to keep as much of the military as possible out of the United States.
Barack wants to institure the Civilian Security Force like in his speech 2 July 08 in Colorado”:
Obama: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
You mean a jackass?
this is the october surprise that will bring obama down. idiocy on the part of biden. complete idiocy.
Try again. That’s not a surprise.
LOL!!
Will those of you voting for Obama agree to this proposal? If not, you might want to rethink your vote:
– - -
Hey, Obama.
Let’s try out your “spread the wealth” approach pre-election to see how it works.
Last month you raised over $150 million.
It’s only patriotic; for everything over $250,000, give half to McCain.
Come on, be neighborly.
O Holy One: Please, be an example; show us that you will do what the rest of us will be forced to do under your regime.
Give McCain the money.
If not, should we just take it from you?
(You can call it an election “credit” if it makes you feel better.)
He wouldn’t even spred the wealth around to his democratic colleges when Harry Reid asked him for money so you know he and that greedy little wife of his aint sharing a dime.
They need the money to afford their privileged lifestyle. Please do not question them. It’s a matter of national security. If you can’t abide by that – then you’re probably a RACIST.
(That’s how it’s going to go, isn’t it?)
yeah, down ticket Dems… under the bus.
I love this one – sent it to friends. Can you really send it to the Obama campaign????
Give me Sarah Palin in a heartbeat anyday.
I went to a Palin rally today in Loveland, CO and it was waayyy sold out and couldn’t get in! They didn’t even have enough room for all the folks to go into the spill over room. I heard the place holds 10,000 and then I’m guessing a few more thousand in the other room. Major bummer, I saw a few little girls who cried because they couldn’t get in. It broke my heart to see these little girls cry.
barry bums a ciggie: I went to the Palin rally in Roswell, NM yesterday….newspaper reported 10,000….it was great! When Sarah stepped off of the plane, she was carrying her baby…..the roaring from the crowd was unbelievable.
I went to one in Jax and they said 7000 got in. Based on the time I arrived and the line at the door when they closed them, my estimate is that at least 5,000 got turned away. Some stood in the sun for 4 hours and none of us would have missed it for the world.
Saw her in Lancaster PA on Sat. crowd est.at 8-9 thousand. Brought baby with her. Crowd loved her.
Here’s a guy who objects to the way they’ve treated Joe the Plumber. He must be a racist.
Will, the guy giving the talk on the video, is AWESOME! An AA that sees right through Obama.
McCain is already using Bidens words to question 0bamas readiness for the Oval Office:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/McCain_keys_off_Biden_remarks.html
I think he is talking about defending Israel. I don’t have anything other than Jesse Jacksons recent comments but I bet that they are not going to defend Israel if they are attacked by Iran.
no doubt; another possibility is that if O “wins” isreal will launch an attack on iran’s nuclear/military facilities before bush leaves office.
I think someone should ask him exactly what he is speaking of. A decision he says will not be seen as popular but we have to trust them? Isreal.Pakistan?
Biden, with this remark i hope sinks Senator Government.
yes, joe, because the hooligans of the world will run over the top of a weak and inexperienced leader.
Primaries are a funny thing especially when Biden said in a debate that he stood by his statement that Obama is not ready to be president. Another thing that I’m wondering about is would Collin Powell have endorsed Hillary if she would have(should have)been the nominee? and if not, Why?
I am not going to trash Collin Powell but let’s get real, Collin Powell would never have endorsed Obama if he wasn’t black.
And he wouldn’t have a problem with Palin if she weren’t a woman.
Let’s call a spade a spade for God’s sakes.
No, of course Colin Powell wouldn’t have endorsed Hillary.
Hillary is a Democrat. Barry just plays one on TV.
“I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know…”
Hey, Colin Powell, how’s that for a number two on the ticket.
It’s astonishing. Just jaw dropping.
Crazy Joe blows it again. McCain should run this ad on a loop.
I wish there were a video tape of this we could play endlessly on tv while Barky does his 30 minute uninformercial.
WTF, is Joe drunk again?
Is he suffering yet another aneurysm? His THIRD.
Sorry, OT…
Who is Michael Signator?
Just saw something about him being a myster man in 0bama’s life.
Anybody know anything?
Also bizarre, it was a lead Politico article today about Obama’s driver. Someone else posted a link to it on another thread here earlier today. I’ll go look for it.
It made me think of a remark that Wallace made to McCain yesterday during Fox Sunday interview which made me think, huh? at the time. Wallace asked McCain about the mean-spirited hit piece the NYT ran against his wife Cindy McCain and whether Sen. McCain agreed with Cindy’s lawyer that ‘maybe the NYT should write a piece about Obama’s drug dealer’. McCain ignored the drug dealer reference altogether and just answered he hadn’t read it and recommended she not read it either. According to Politico, Obama’s driver resides in DuPage County, IL which is a very conservative/republican county.
You have a link about the alleged drug dealer?
Here’s the politico piece. Looking for a clip from Chris Wallace on Fox Sunday now. Sorry, don’t know how to make the link work.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14713.html
The bigger speculation going around the blogosphere is that it is his boyfriend.
Saw it written in one chicago paper that he sometimes visits this guys apartment, which is a couple of blocks from his house 2 to 3 times a day.
crack dealer???
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
Michael Signator is a friend of Obama. He was paid something like $50,000 during Obama’s campaign for Senate one year and paid other monies during other years. Not so much now though. I believe he was an adviser in some capacity. I read that he was also a bodyguard for Obama. He is a Chicago cop and lives in an apartment building not far from the Hyde Park area in Chicago. It may be in that part…not sure.
I have read that Obama came and went so many times to his apartment building, that many of those that live there have their own Obama stories. There is a health club there that Obama would go to. I read that it is not that nice there and wonder why Obama would choose to work out in that complex. Kind of strange that the Obama campaign has not released info on this guy and who he is. Obama would stop over for 15 minutes to a few hours to visit Michael.
I looked him up and someone on facebook shows up with that name. I have no clue if it is this guy or not. It all seems a little strange. With the Larry Sinclair thing, I am a little curious if there is some similarity. I am not into conspiracies, but that Larry guy sure is determined to get his story out. You have to wonder what Obama is doing over there besides working out.
Since Obama is so secretive, all we really can do is speculate. Could be nothing though. Even if it is something, like the MSM would cover it anyway.
It seems odd that Obama would go to an apt. bldg. to work out, his mansion has a “well appointed” gym in the basement.
How does a policeman afford both an apt near the 0bamas mansion and a home some place else????
I am into conspiracies and this is yet another mystery in 0bama’s mysterious life that the msm won’t cover. They found out within 24 hours that Joe the Plumber owed back taxes and didn’t have a license. I didn’t realize that you couldn’t have an opinion or ask a question if you owed taxes. You are deprived of First Amendment Rights. Is that so?
Anyway, who is this Michael Signator person that has 0bama so chummy with him. He’s a bodyguard but he’s chummy with him? My immediate reaction was more downlow implications. But he is or was a cop. And once someone upthread mentioned drugs I immediately thought, he scores for 0bama. Here in NYC, there’s a well-known axiom that cops have the best drugs. And let’s face it, they have access. This is not to say that cops are all users, but drugs can be leveraged for info and money and sex.
But I don’t like this relationship at all. As it is, 0bama has NO CLOSE FRIENDS. Yet, he and supposedly Michelle are chummy with this guy enough to seek his counsel. All despots have some devoted ‘enforcer’ at their side to do their dirty work for them. Donald Young anyone?
Then there was a quote from this man in the article that I’m very uncomfortable with as an AA. Signator escorted 0bama to an AA Parade in Chicago where 0bama was greeted enthusiastically by chanting his name, etc. Signator is supposed to have made some crack to the effect: “That he was waiting for 0bama to rise up and say to the crowd: I will set you free!”
I’ll look for the exact quote. But I have to say, it reeks of condescension and is precisely the reason that I, an AA, will never vote for 0bama. For that man to make a remark like that suggests to me that the two have shared derogatory comments about AAs between them. That 0bama would feel this way is something I know is true in my gut. Unfortunately, I have no way of proving this. But that certainly doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
But I want to know more about this guy who doesn’t appear so far to be married.
This is interesting. Very interesting, indeed. Too bad everyone in Chicago is scared shitless to say anything.
Interesting that Politico lead with this story. Even stranger that MSNBC would report Joe Biden’s super gaffe. Could it be that the Obama Press is hedging their bets?
I’d go with the crackhead/lover/buddy scenario. That’s why Larry Sinclair was arrested. That’s why Biden is his V.P. Joe’s son in Delaware had Sinclair arrested on trumped up charges, then released him after the phoney Democratic CONvention.
Things are heating up for Joe and Obama. Joe is hitting the bottle. No telling what Obama is hitting.
Was he the driver when BO and Larry Sinclair were getting in on in the back seat??
CORRECTION OF TYPO:
Was he the driver when BO and Larry Sinclair were getting it on in the back seat??
very interesting. I did read in the politico article that this guy was his driver at one time too…
No. That driver was, I believe, -surprise, surprise,- Pakistani. His name was mentioned on other blogs after the big Sinclair Press Conference.

Are you talking about the missile crisis? Oh PUH-LEASE. Self-congratulatory politics is what gets the United States into trouble in the first place. K moved the missiles in because JFK moved his missiles up to the Turkish border. When he finally backed down from the border K took his missiles back and let JFK take the credit. K was the diplomat and you were the fools.
Speak the truth and stop thinking your country’s leaders are right about everything.
Right, and what happened to K because of the crisis…let’s not forget that park of history.
this is who people want in the White House, I am scared, and I know that people in israel are SCARED TO DEATH, I have family there and they are absolutely TERRIFIED right now. Joe Biden basically says we are sitting ducks and telling our enemies HEY COME ON OVER AND ATTACK US, WE GOT NOTHING HERE. I have told people for months now, yes the economy is bad, but when we are being bombed every single day and there will be wars all around us, will make the economy the last thing we will worry about
Sarracuda, I agree with you. But what I can not understand for the life of me is WHY the US Jewish vote is going for Barkey?? It just makes no sense. According to this 2/3 of American Jewish voters support Obama: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1030165.html..
I know I’m dimwitted but could someone please explain …………..
I do not understand it either. my boyfriend is Jewish and he is supporting the democrat. He’ll even tell you, “Well, I didn’t say Obama would be good for Israel.” WTF? Where is my real boyfriend and what have they done with/to him? This is not the man I knew. I am scared. If Obama can turn smart people into sheeples following him off a cliff I just don’t know what to think anymore!
The leaders of Israel should openly endorse McCain.
The terrorist governments have openly endorsed Obama.
They need to send a strong message to Jewish Americans.
It is because there is fairly strong strain of socialism inside the jewish community. Look at Israel itself, they have a cradle to grave social services and unbeleivably high taxation. Having almost been exterminated more than once, their system on’t allow any of their own to perish.
My brother who has been brainwashed by the ultra liberal Ed. system is an Obama supporter and his boss Mark Sussman @ Sussman, Selig & Ross is ardent Marxist who runs around with Ayers crowd in Chicago. Both are practicing Jews.
The rich libs alway pretend they are for the poor folks, pretty funny. Obama and Ayers live in Hyde Park, which is a very integrated community. They all stand shoulder to shoulder, black and white alike, to keep the poor people at a distance. They are very liberal
No, they’re not LIBERAL. Obama’s Hyde Park pals are far left radicals, which is pretty much the same as you far right radicals. There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the extremes at either end.
You’re all authoritarian and anti-democratic, and Barack Obama is George W. Bush with better teeth and a better tan. I wish you joy of him.
Uh conservatives believe in limited govt and individual freedom.. how do extreme conservatives get to be authoritarian?
Ideological-driven tyrannies are at home in teh Far Left.
I think Jews would disagree with you rather strongly. Hitler was no leftist by any definition of the word. I would add that the Patriot Act, a Bush favorite, is not in tune with the limited government thing. I would also add that neither is lurking about people’s bedrooms and doctors offices. There are discinct problems with both sides, especially concerning the Bill of Rights. As far as I’m concerned, the more rights we maintain, the better. And yes, I am a vocal proponent of the Second Amendment.
I know that. If you see this comment:
Just because they think it’s right wing doesn’t mean that NAZIism was right-wing. All collectivism is Left Wing and the NAZI movement like all Socialist movements is no different. The nationalistic socialist govs in Germany and Italy were to the right of Communism.. that is true. but on an absolute scale, they are all Left Wing movements.
Limited Govt doesn’t preclude prudent security activity. National security is the primary responsibility of the Federal Govt. It’s one of the few things they’re supposed to be doing (as opposed to almost everything else it does) and it’s funny how so many people attack it for that.
Concern about the Bill of Rights is part of what motivates ProLife. It’s false to state the intention is to get into someone’s bedroom.
The intent is to protect the right of a human being to be born. You don’t have to agree with the Pro-Left position, but you can be willing to accept what the ProLifers say about themselves.
Also as a Federalist I understand the difference between what the Fed Govt is empowered to do and that the States retain most of their Sovereignty to do almost anything they want. I consider it an aberration that the States have allowed themselves to be so impotent.
The XXVII Amendment is a disaster for our system of govt.
Then we disagree, which is fine among civilized people. Let’s hope Oblockhead doesn’t get into office, though, and use that Patriot Act for actions other than national security.
It’s cool to disagree.
I’m scared to death of a DoJ staffed with Nation of Islam people.
No law (or lack of law) is going to stop them from doing anything they want.
Me, too. But I’m also concerned about his sociopathic tendencies. He is truly narcissistic and those are dangerous people when given positions of authority. POTUS is no position for someone with that profile. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I am hoping McCain pulls this one out. Everything other problem seems to pale in comparison.
I think they’ve bought into the worst of liberalism. Liberalism has wormed its way into the Jewish culture, and its lack of principles, morals, and willingness to capitulate to anyone/anytime in the interests of “peace” will destroy them.
That’s the point of the liberal ideology–divide, weaken and destroy under a facade of some form of intellectual enlightenment. It’s sickening. Israel should not be divided, carved up, sectioned off or anything of the sort.
American Jews are not Israeli Jews, and do not share the same world views, i,e., they are not a monolithic culture. It is a well-known secret that Israel has enough of an arsenal to make any adversary think twice and those who don’t think twice won’t be in any position to rethink their strategy when all is said and done. They will not hesitate to use whatever they have at their disposal to get the job done. No American President can change their attitude on that one, particularly someone like Oblockhead.
I agree both American and Israeli Jews are not monolithic, however what I still can’t wrap my arms around is the lack of kinship to a mother land. I’m 3rd generation Irish, Catholic. I have a soft spot in my heart for both the faith and the homeland. Can’t picture my supporting a POTUS that is willing to put a stick in the eye of roots, my heritage. Blood is thicker than water. I just don’t get it.
As a Jew that will never vote Obama I think I have the answer: there’s something called “white guilt” – and nobody does “guilt” better than Jews.
the deceiver is right on schudle if you read revelation and daniel you will understand.
So why are so many Jewish people going to vote for Obama? Or is that another media lie?
Concepts like social justice are almost like DNA to the Jewish people.. additionally, because of the Big Lie that NAZIism was a right-wing movement they highly suspicious of the right.
I love joe biden, i wish i livid in his state cuase i would vote for him next go round. Let’s think about this for a minute. If obama wins, we are going to get our butts beat, if we elect mccain nothing will happen because he’s been tested? now i know i don’t think like most people *sometimes that’s a good thing* but with all the countries that want obama as our president, with all the foreign leaders that want him as president, did biden pretty much just admit that the only reason they want obama in office is to kick our behinds because they think he’s weak and untested. Now i know Obots might not follow certain lines of reasoning, but ever now and again there is a glitch in their programming some thing call a survival instinct. Before they were running all smooth, but for ones that heard that, Syntax Error is popping up all over some of their screens.
i hope the bots have their audio functions on.
electing obummer is an invitation to our foreign enemies to start something.
this isn’t rocket science.
Well, I had already read reports that the Homeland Security folks are expecting a terrorist attack or international fallout shortly after the election or the next POTUS is sworn in because it follows a pattern and apparently there’s “chatter” about it. What I found remarkable was Biden stating that Obama might not appear to be doing the right thing in the beginning but for supporters to stay with them because he’d have informed people around him.
Huh?
Guess Biden just blew the idea that experience “doesn’t” count.
So when will Obama be ready? Day 100? After the first 1000 days?
This is nightmare city! Even his own VP doesn’t think he’s ready and is suggesting the international thugs will test the “new kid” on the block.
Incredible!
“What I found remarkable was Biden stating that Obama might not appear to be doing the right thing in the beginning but for supporters to stay with them because he’d have informed people around him.”
=
D R A F T
Well, if that’s the coded message in Biden’s comments, it means that all these young kids, the most ardent Obama supporters will be thrown under the bus, into the threshing machine and they won’t know what’s hit them.
Wonder if the trance will survive an announcement like that? Somehow I doubt it. And they’re talking civil unrest if they don’t win the election?
Try a draft on the public. Things will literally explode.
As is often the fate of Useful Idiots.
So true. These kids don’t even know what a “useful idiot” is. Just like they don’t know the derivation of the term, “drinking the kool-aid.”
And they want to draft women!
Funny, but they want to call us the c-word. Trash female politicians who are seeking higher office, but they want to force women in the Army.
Well that means, 0bamas daughters have to go too.
No, he wouldn’t allow them to be “punished” by having to serve their country.
What will explode will be all those silly college kids who thought Obummer was ‘totally awesome’ and helped him win. How ironic would that be – to see all those Obama ‘kids’ in the streets rioting/demonstrating against the draft AND Obama! Would we see more videos of those young children singing praises to Obama?
I do think we’ll have a terror attack no matter who is POTUS in January. The scum of the earth will test our weakened state. But who do you trust more with your life and safety? For me it’s McCain. I never trusted Obama fully, even way back when. Something just wasn’t right with that fool!
I agree. It will be an attack on us or one of our friends by the hate-filled Islamic terrorists and the POS Obama will make Neville Chamberlain look like a war monger.
This man has no governor on his mouth or, apparently, on his brain.
He not only knows there’s going to be a crisis, but he’s already predicted that Obama might screw it up?!
He puts it differently (see above) but he’s already saying, without having any idea what he’s talking about (what else is new), that “it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.” In other words, you already know, Joe, that it’s going to “look like” you and BHO screwed up even though, predicting in advance, you’ll be actually right!! Though you have no clue what crisis you might be talking about.
Why can’t it look like you’re right from the start? If you’re right, why keep it a secret?
We have very little upon which to judge Barack Obama’s judgment but, judging from his selection of a Vice Presidential running mate (not even getting to the question of a candidate for “change” in Washington picking a guy who’s been there longer than McCain), he’s proved, once again, how “boneheaded” he is.
Joe Biden? In the White House?
Does Joe have meds? Is he taking them?
Well, if he knows their response isn’t going to appear correct, he has some idea of what kind of attack it will be and what their response will be. This is outrageous.
Barack Obama, you sir are no John F. Kenedy not even close.
And, Barack Obama, you sir are no John McCain not even close.
This has to be the weirdest thing out of this guy’s mouth.
Now just imagine if Sarah Palin had gone off message like this–they’d be skewering her right and left. I want to see how much play this gets because it is so OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
Hey NYT will this make the front page above the fold! Hey Jon Stewart! Hey Olbermann, Brokaw, Wolfie, Chris? Ya gonna do your jobs or are you going to cover this up too?
Obama’s “Spread the Wealth” Plan Raises Taxes on Two-Thirds of Small Business Profits
Obama’s Plan raises taxes on two-thirds of the small business profits generated in this country!!!
http://www.atr.org/content/pdf/2008/oct/102008pr-smallbusinessprofits.pdf
Excellent explanation about why BO and his talking point minions are spewing lies with statistics.
Obama Tax Plan will KILL THIS FRAGILE ECONOMY!!!
Small businesses account for ALL of the net new job creation in this country. If Obama raises taxes on two-thirds of small business profits, it will have a very chilling effect on that job creation engine.
Please, people, get this word out before it’s two late. Email this link to as many people as you can and explain to them that we can’t afford to let his socialist agenda take us into another world-wide great depression.
Think about it… He will be taking cash from businesses that create jobs and handing it to people, most of whom pay no taxes at all. What do you think they will do with it? Will they be hiring? I doubt it.
Joe the Plumber needs to come out and tell Obama that he needs to spread the wealth with his questionable money raising ways. End it with, why don’t you payoff Hillary’s debt.
Sorry OT too, but what’s with this mystery man story from Politico? What do you all make of the story appearing now?
Someone on another thread mused that he might be a special friend. I won’t go any further than that because it is all speculation.
This may be Biden’s intentional Freudian slip moment. Perhaps he is trying to tell the electorate something (by “us” reading between the lines), which he can then just chalk up as a “boneheaded” mistake like Oblockhead always does. I’m probably wrong but it is a potential explanation.
You mean sabotage? I’ve thought he has been trying to sabotage The Precious from the start. Maybe he was arm twisted or even blackmailed into the job?
I’m getting an odd feeling that Bill and Hillary are not done with n0bama yet.
Tinfoil moment?…maybe.
But I don’t know, I’ve had a strange premonition bubbling up since late yesterday p.m.
EXPLAIN PA?
I think he was blackmailed. I always liked Joe–just never wanted him to be anything more than a Senator.
I, too, sometimes wonder if Biden isn’t taken advantage of his “gaffe master” status to raise red flags.
oops..taking advantage
I wonder if Biden isn’t the fall guy for Obama to lose. We all know Hillary couldn’t do it to protect her carrer and run again, but Biden has been in the Senate for a long time and knows he doesn’t have a chance to ever be president. Maybe he wanted to retire soon anyway and he is sacrificing his last days to take down Obama not just for Hillary, but for the good of our country.
**taking tin-foil hat off haha**
If Obama wins, I think Biden will have many opportunities (god forbid) to become president. And don’t fake shock and disgust,I’ve heard the same thing from dozens and dozens of people. Of course, I’d love it if he were to be impeached for election fraud and corruption in the first few months.
I think he may very well be doing just that.
Boy moving to Alaska looks better and better everyday.
We’ll all be scrambling to get into Mexico.
Seriously, the MSM owe Americans an answer to just what Joe Biden is talking about here. This is terrifying rhetoric, and if Joe knows something we don’t and is hinting about it, I think we need to know as much about it as he knows. To think the media are just passing this along without demanding further details from Biden is beyond disgusting.
John McCain needs to call him on it… remmeber they were just BRIEFED!!!!!!!!!!!! Was Joe Biden talking about something he shouldn’t be OMFG!!!
And Obama said that the McCain campaign was going to try to scare us? Holy Moly….Biden’s stump speech in Seattle scares the cr@p out of me!!!
Yeah, funny that. In the end, it’s the Dems who are playing the ’scare’ card.
What was up is now down. Can’t help but wonder if the world slipped a bit on that axis we’re spinning on.
My tinfoil hat is telling me something is about to break and it will be unexpected and unknown to us. Things seem almost too quiet right now, don’t they? Maybe someone else with a better tuned tinfoil hat would like to comment?
As far as Biden’s gaff, maybe he made this one to cover for his race baiting? I don’t think so but who the fark knows.
My tinfoil hat says maybe Biden is having serious second thoughts about this and perhaps he knows something that he wants everyone to be in on.
Actually, I can’t believe he accepted the VP slot in the first place.
Oh I got the message loud and clear what he was saying. I am just trying to figure out would he be the type of person to say it.
If you mean that if there was something detrimental to national security going on in the campaign would he do something about it? Yes he would and perhaps he is. But it could also just be a grand gaffe. It is puzzling.
What does your tinfoil hat say?
My tinfoil hat says Biden is a plant. But by whom? I have heard that he volunteered rather than was sought out, so the key is, why did he volunteer? One theory was Daley pushed him. Another that he is hoping for his own glory–I don’t buy that at all. He seems as weird in his position as Hillary stumping.
Every day we go through this, hoping that the levee breaks. I feel like forces are all around, drifting in quietly, getting in range. But what could bring O. down convincingly? And I say that because whatever we see against him, it tends to get shrugged off by the Obots. I can only think:
1. Major provable connection to Islam, or Islamic terrorists.
2. Proof that he isn’t really Obama but a substitute.
3. Simultaneous bust by at least 3 agencies on at least 27 different charges, all with audio and video of Obama saying “I did it and I’m guilty, hahaha.”
4. In bed with two guys and a kilo of coke.
Seriously, it’s like killing the Hydra.
I agree. I posted that yesterday – my theory that Biden is a plant. Maybe I’ve just watched too many movies, but I just can’t imagine that Biden is totally out of control and doesn’t know the impact of what he says.
Eleven more days in October. Maybe the October Surprise will be a myriad of things. The COLB issue, the lawsuits, etc.
Why have the 527s been so silent?
I just wonder what Joe knows that we NEED to know. This just feels like something he said “accidentally on purpose”
You know what I mean?
I’ll defer to those who know Senator Biden better than do I but, from what I understand, none of this is new. This is who he is and always has been. He loves to hear himself talk and often doesn’t seem to care what it is he says, just so people are listening. Look, he’s run, or sort of run, for President and never got more than friends, family and, I’m thinking now, drinking buddies to vote for him. Now, I know throwing drinking buddies in there probably raises the number significantly but still never enough to get him out of the low single digits. And, that’s despite his self-proclaimed foreign policy expertise.
Thank goodness he’s in the Senate where he doesn’t actually conduct foreign policy.
Oh, wait…. he wants to be Vice President.
Oh, man, I have to go lie down.
No, on second thought, I’d rather….
STAND UP!!!
Regardless if Biden is acting ‘normal’, this gaffe is beyond the pale.
Its either one of four things: 1)Aneurysm number three, 2) he’s drunk, 3) he’s a stupid drunk suffering from complications of an anuerysm, 4) he’s subconciously trying to lose this thing for the teeny-weeny patriotism that may exists in what’s left of his 5-deferment body.
Or overtly on purpose.
Is there any reason to believe Joe is clever enough to make use of his reputation to deliberately slip in counter messages?
Maybe he’s seen enough of O. and wants to dissociate himself.
Maybe he knows how useless he’d be as VP, and that his absence would make it easy for someone else to get into the VP slot.
Indiedogg,
“I have to go lie down.”
Thank you for that. roflmao.
Although this is indeed very frightening — let’s hope everybody knows about it — we are doing our best to spread the word — please help and forward everywhere to your contacts. [All of you].
Thanks for posting.
Yes, I agree Galt, things are eerily quiet right now and we are sooooo close to the election. My tin foil hat is buzzing in anticipation…
Or as I put it yesterday I feel like a kid on Xmas eve, waiting to see what presents Santa GOP leaves under the tree.
Is that what is? I have a tinfoil hat on and didn’t even know it.
Call me crazy but I’ve been feeling something coming for nearly 10 days, something building, ready to roll in like a wave to shore. For the life of me, I cannot get a fix on it.
But it’s big, something totally unexpected that will leave us all breathless.
Tinfoil hat? I’ll have to check the mirror or clean my contacts. But something is out there, forming on the edge.
Strange.
I have thought from the time after the primaries that there would be a Great Gaffe coming from the Anointed One, which would cause his campaign to go into meltdown. Perhaps that Great Gaffe was for Biden to bestow upon the world.
Well, I consider myself somewhat psychic and I feel none of what you people are feeling.
Are some of you ‘in the know’? And posting here anonomously?
I hope you guys are right. But my psychic antennae is not feelin it.
Its also logic. Mac, the GOP and 527s have been pretty subdued, like they are squirrels quietly and deliberately gathering up pun intended acorns for the winter.
It’s at least partly the waiting, I think. Causing tension.
This reminds me of his speech in PA where he talked like he was drunk. Whatever is going down I just know its going to be good.
If that is the case, he must *really* be having second thoughts about being Oblockhead’s running mate. I think he wants out and what better way thatn to create these gaffes to embarrass the Anointed One. Biden would be under the bus before you could say President McCain.
I think he’s just a nutty old man who loves to talk.
Yeah, I don’t think Biden’s capable of formulating a strategy like that.
There’s a report now on crampbell brownshirt that Biden’s releasing new medical records and Sanjay Gupta is interpreting them.
I just heard on news that O is leaving the campaign trail until Saturday to be with his ailing grandmother. No further details…
You need to trade your tin foil hat in for this.
You need a copper inner liner and silver outside. Tinfoil is so yesterday, and doesn’t work.
That’s what is so delightful about tin foil…it’s so retro…and it’s so Southern as well.
Galt…
my tin foil hat is consistently abuzz this fine election cycle.
me thinks that perhaps the leftist cover of barack obama is the manchurian candidate’s overt calling card, and not the actual covert one that represents the people he really works for.
the real calling card will perhaps cause the tin foil hat itself to shrivel.
this is most interesting. my dreams are haunted by the architects of the coming one world order, and the bobo is it’s talking head. a veritable nightmare, as the obots march willingly to the piper’s hypnotic and mellifluous oratory.
maybe joe biden knows a lot more than he lets on. except for mements like now, when he is on a gaffathon, as in the recent “slip”.
maybe is letting a cat out of the obama bag with the bonehead act.
maybe everything i think these days is borderline b#llsh#t, but my god, these times are beyond the pale.
My wild speculation by connecting a known few comments is this. If war breaks out it will be women drafted and used as cannon fodder. We have already heard Obama suggest drafting women. We have evidence that women are hated by the Democratic elitists. We have Biden making remarks about unpopular methods. We also have Biden making suggestive remarks about what? Attacks? Is he inviting them?
All I know is that if I was on the fence and someone said those things I would leap to the right and land in the yard of the man with real experience and not the mouth of the norths running mate either.
You know, I was thinking that — what a mess that would be.
Uhhh Senator Obama just HAD to bring his drama to my neck of the woods so to speak. We do things a little bit differently in the south. Out of all the black elected officials this state has. Why is it the only time something “racist” happens it happens to Obama? Everything and everyplace he goes turns to crap. Some newly discovered “racist” group just happens to manifest in front of a camera. Maybe if they stop asking questions ABOUT race people would not focus on it. People are not liking this guy at all because it is so obvious what he is doing.
Every single day there is a new story about some racist statements made to him where someone yells out a racial slur but no one seems to know where it came from but it makes it’s way to CNN.
Then they have the audacity to do interviews and put peoples names out there. But they might not want to do that because people in our military community will close ranks quick fast and in a hurry if those blogger fools do what they did to Joe the Plumber. Calling people racist because they choose to not vote for you is stupid.
After the feedback I got today to those on ground here in NC. People dont look to kindly on being labeled “racist” and embarrassed just to get the affirmative action vote. Someone probably should of told him and his bots Fayetteville is the home for Fort Bragg. Sometimes it pays to know who your insulting before you do it. Karma’s a bitch Barry. Yep. We may be calling Obama by a new name in the history books:”Barack McGovern Obama”.
Can you say Duke Lacrosse team. I recently read a book on that Case and alot of the same behavior was being displayed by blacks in North Carolina over something that was obviously a lie, but since some people have a problem with affluent whites they ruined several young mens life, and while i may not agree with them hiring a stripper many of Duke’s liberal faculty showed their bigoted behinds. I’m not sure if Whites in North Carolina have gotten over that, so obama needs to chill or it might back fire on him and the black community in north carolina so they need to shut up and vote for obama if that’s what they want to do.
All the way soldier4hillary. I live in Fayetteville, too. I just can’t believe that NC will go blue this election. With all the military bases in this state, it just seems impossible to me. I have had it up to my eyeballs with being referred to as a racist just because I did not vote for “The One.”
” We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.”
What the HELL is this idiot talking about??? Between the two of them, they don’t have enough sense to come in out of the rain! Brilliant senator? Just look at the moron he choose as a running mate! Y, you made the case Joe; I wouldn’t trust Obama to take my trash can from the house to the street.
Biden said:
I know what he’s saying — he’s telling the KosKids and HuffPo Bros Befor Ho;s crowd that Obama will reinstate the military draft.
LOL!
I mean how else can he invade Pakistan?
LOL!
All those Cheeto-munching keyborad jockeys will have to turn in their pajamas for a uniform.
That’s just what I thought, Susan. And Obama has all their contact information in his database. He can send them all text messages when they are drafted. Fall in line, buttercup!!
LOL
I gotta go melt some butter for my popcorn.
I burst out laughing at the “Buttercup” line, sweetie. Obama is such a hypocrite. I have to say that of the 4 top candidates, I like 3 of them. I am somewhat fond of Joe Biden. But my “beware” radar is pinging whenever I think or hear about Obama.
And somewhere Reverend Wright, ex-friend and ex-pastor if the anointed one is saying, “The chickens have come home to roost!”
Yeah, journalists, investigate. We know you don’t do Chicago–maybe too cold? How’s Hawai’i (come on MSM, think of a photo-op, unless of course you know something else like maybe a birth certificate lawsuit?) Investigate Martinique too. Nice, tropical paradise filled with loads of newsworthy materials.
you know everyone has always talked about mccain’s era dict behavior. But Joe Biden takes the cake. better look into seeing if joe has early onset Alzheimer’s
I think the Kool-Aide that he was drinking fermented in the hot sun.
McCains Campaign bus hit with gunfire
http://chicagoagainstobama.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/straight-talk-express-hit-with-gunfire-in-new-mexico/
WTF
I read this report this morning. And where is the MSM to report this event? Can you imagine if Obama’s entourage, bus, whatever was assaulted. I understand it was a .22 that shattered the window, and then the bus was pelted with rocks.
Have we entered lala land? I will never forgive nor believe the press after this election. They are absolutely shameless.
Well, if Barky is so brilliant, let’s see his Columbia and Harvard transcripts…plus, I’d sure like to get a look at his thesis. And certainly if he is so brilliant, I would think he could come up with a copy of his birth certificate.
What’s up with that?! Did you hear that Senator Government and the DNC filed another motion today to have the complaint tossed? Other than not having a valid birth certificate, what could possibly be their motive in stalling again?
How about DENSA (not MENSA)
http://members.aol.com/Frogmays/densa.html
Anyone want to go half on purchasing a new place to live ie a island or something if they win? Because Biden’s incoherent speech is equivalent to telling me we are going to be attacked with Obama
All the more reason to vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin on Nov. 4th.
I actually know for a fact from my Mom’s Realtor buddy that people are calling her up and asking about housing in Alaska and I ain’t kidding, kinda surprised her that people would be asking about moving from California to Alaska, not usually a place where people choose to move to
They want to be closer to Gov. Palin in case Barky wins.
So funny, I actually googled ‘move to alaska’ last night. Move there, join the Independence Party, secede, Sarah becomes President and Todd is First Dude!
I think Alaska has a big surplus, unlike Cali.
that may be an option, what’s it like in Bermuda or some place like that?
I told my BF I’m moving to Canada.
I know it gets cold in winter, but I’ll adapt.
Count me in.
New Zealand or Australia.
If Biden hadn’t done this for years, I’d think he had Alzheimer’s. He sounds drunk at least. Not only does he babble out politically damaging things, but then he tells the press he shouldn’t have said them instead of trying to “clarify” his words! You’d think the Obamaniacs would be in rubber rooms by now from trying to justify all of Bobo’s rotten associations and Jojo’s boneheaded remarks!
Wait a second, Colin Powell says Sarah Palin isn’t experienced, WOW, Hey Colin, maybe you should look at your buddy Joe and see what TRUE IDIOCY looks like. I think Barack and Joe better get those “I’m with stupid” T-shirts ready for the presses. I think America get prepared for the two BIGGEST idiots to enter the White House. People think Bush was the dumbest president ever, Bush looks like a member of MENSA compared to these two boobs. The media refuses to bring up what Joe said, ITS ON FREAKIN TAPE. Thanks Media, not only are you putting the most inexperienced radical racist into the White House, but they are putting our country at risk, thanks a lot media
OT, but shots were fired at the McCain Straight Talk Express.
What a shock, Sharia law is in full swing
I told my girlfriend to take the day after the election off. Whether or not Obama wins or loses, there will be violence. I don’t want the cute little white girl to be walking around Oakland when it happens.
I’m staying home, too. I have had it planned for months. A bad situation no matter what outcome for Barfy!
It’s always about attempting to inoculate the One from criticism – right now, it’s racism to disagree; soon it would be you are unpatriotic and/or racist.
Dissent from the One is a moral failing.
Regarding the draft: Most other countries require males to serve 2 years in the military. I’ve often wondered if that was what BO was referring to when he would make comments like he would not allow us to sit on the sidelines or require us to work.
Want a scary thought? Imagine Obama as the Commander in Chief. Does that thought not just scare the hell out of you. Two wars, Iran going atomic, North Korea in the state of having, to going, to having nuclear, Pakistan in chaos and with nuclear and the Russian bear out of hibernation. If might not scare you, but it does scare the sh*t out of me !
Ya the 3am call comes and Obama has a boneheaded moment, Joe the drunk is just that drunk, Hillary slams the phone down on Barack and Nancy has to make the decision,”Wait Barack noooooooooooo, not that Georgia…..!” alas it’s too late. “Oh well too many Bible clingers with guns there anyhow.”
the “I promise a crisis within 6 months because Obama is an ass” bit was frightening yet also funny…
but this bit was pretty disturbing…
why exactly if Obama wins will americans be so “unhappy” with The One?
gee… why would that be? and what does Senator Hair Plugs know that we don’t?
are you scared yet?
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
I think those two paragraphs have to do with economic promises Obama has made and can’t keep, due to Pelosi/Reid/Blue Dogs insisting on PAYGO.
No healthcare, no tax cuts, no college help, no energy independence investment, etc.
There will BE no money for those programs.
If Obama wins on 04NOV, Israel will launch against Iran in the window between then and Inauguration Day. Especially after the latest Jesse Jackson comments about Zionists, Israel undoubtedly feels it’ll be now or never. Then all hell breaks loose with three wars and Hello Draft. Although Iran must know this as well, no way did Clueless Joe have to go Aunt Blabby on this. He’s old enough to know “Loose Lips Sink Ships.” Foreign Policy Expert? You’re kidding, right?
“GIRD YOUR LOINS” ? Indeed.
Gee, Biden seems to have it all figured out, does he? For this “chance” …and “I don’t know what” it is. He’s already sure the voters won’t like the decision Barry will make.
mmhmmm
Is Joe telling us McCain’s and Obama’s transition briefings had some
revelations that we normally would not be made aware of if the running
mate didn’t have such a foot in mouth disease? Or just that he is
confident our enemies will still be standing there strong and ready to
test even the new young Senator from Illinois regardless of his symbolism
that has been marketed to our countries citizens?
I don’t think finding out if Obama can handle an international crisis
AFTER he is placed in the oval office is a reassuring prospect for a
majority of Americans. Maybe this was a good leak, so Americans can
really decide NOW who is best to handle such crisis that may come soon
after the next president has taken office, whether intentional or not,
with their judgement and foreign policy matters and experience. And
having as his running mate, the man telling us this piece of insight,
who was the man that wanted to break up Iraq in to 3 seperate coutnries,
doesn’t make me feel much better.
BREAKING: Chicago Tribune Editorial Board calls emergency meeting on Obama/ACORN
Posted by hillbuzz under Uncategorized
Not sure what to make of this. Maybe they have found a connection and are meeting to discuss how they are going to go forward with it.
Sorry! I don’t know how to link. Just go to Hillbuzz and read.
ACORN is just delivering their talking points to the Trib, no biggie.
Since the Chicago Tribune endorsed Obama I’m sure it won’t be anything damaging.
Can you imagine the comotion if this was an Obama bus this would be 24 hour non stop news till nov 4!
This makes two stories from Jaffe today about Biden’s terrible remarks regarding Obama. They were posted within an hour and a half of one another.
joe Biden is trying to tell America something, and I hope America is listening.
Anybody think that something may be ready to erupt with Israel and Iran? There have been hints at it for some time and it would be totally against prior US policy to side with Iran over anything.
If Israel was going to strike Iran nuclear facilities, I wish they would do so “before” the election. Certainly, the Israelis can’t feel comfortable about an Obama presidency. Any Jew who supports Obama is either uninformed, or bought and paid for.
In a previous thread someone (I forget who) conjectured that Israel might pre-empt Iran if The Precious wins the election. This preemptive strike would occur sometime between Nov. 4 and the time he is sworn in on Jan. 20. It’s a chilling and not totally implausible conjecture.
Now that’s not a gaff, that’s a sign of mental illness,, a scary thought, both candidates have severe mental disorders.
One on drugs the other alcohol, what’s the chance either will be able to answer the 3.00 am call.
I just love it when our enlightened politicians reveal things to us that we, the public, have known since the primaries. The world wants Obama as our president because they know he is weak. He will be easy to manipulate. McCain, on the other hand, scares the crap out of them, as it should be.
Biden is great, like a crazy uncle who talks too much. Keep it up Joe!
Good point.
Something interesting that I read earlier…Colin Powell’s son, Michael, is working for McCain as an advisor.
Thank you Joe,
You have just helped the McCain/Palin ticket with your brilliance on this.
Joe after the election, instead of going back to the Senate, might I suggest you should apply your astute skills at the next psychic fair that comes into town
“I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know…”
Fortunately for McCain, the one thing Biden has forgotten is how to shut his mouth.
can u believe this:
newsweek blog: by Andrew Romano: Memo to John Kerry: Don’t Quit Your Day Job
Speaking this afternoon at a business summit in Cambridge, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry complained about the inane questions he fielded from the press during his 2004 presidential bid–and expressed sympathy for this year’s crop of candidates. The target of his ire: “the famous ‘boxers or briefs’ question.” Praising Obama for successfully parrying the inquiry–Kerry confessed that he “was tempted to say commando”–the Bay Stater informed his audience that McCain had encountered some problems: “Then they asked McCain, and McCain said, ‘Depends.’” Hotcha! The crowd, according to PolitickerMA, cracked up.
I mean, I get the joke: McCain is so old that he wears Depends–the best-known brand of adult diapers–to keep from soiling his slacks. Ha. But just as Republicans have cheapened a legitimate line of attack against Obama (that he’s avoided taking a firm stand on some issues) by calling him a shady terrorist sympathizer, so too do Democrats risk diluting their best criticism of McCain (that he can be erratic, impulsive and unreliable) by harping on his age.
Both comments are not only inappropriate; they’re counterproductive. After all, Obama is relying on older white voters–his newest, softest supporters–to propel him to victories in Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio (among other places)…
blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/10/20/memo-to-john-kerry-don-t-quit-your-day-job.aspx
so romano thinks the “joke” is “inappropriate” but has tells us mccain is “erratic, impulsive and unreliable”!!!! WTF!
and colin powell is 71, andrew!
This is the acknowledgment of the public’s worst fears about Senator Obama. This statement is SHOCKING and FRIGHTENING IN THE EXTREME!
First, the horror that the U.S. could again be attacked or otherwise intentionally provoked because of Senator Obama’s inexperience and naivete.
Second, that a team with so little judgment will be responding to such a crisis.
Third, that Senator Biden is so contemptuous of the public will. In a democracy, it’s important whether policies are “popular” because it indicates whether the people support positions that well from the ground up, or whether they are imperially imposed from the top down.
Finally, that a candidate could be so incompetent to voice such private musings publically. It’s literally mind-blowing, and a game changer if you ask me. I think Senator Obama has no choice but to dismiss Senator Biden immediately. This is the most reckless thing I’ve ever heard any candidate say.
shhhhhhhh we want him to keep his foot in mouth side kick. Really it doesn’t matter if he keeps him or if he lets him go. The damage has been done. Jessie Jackson with the Jewish voters and Obama with his spread the wealth Castro type remarks with the Cubans and now Joe the imbiber comes along. You cannot make this stuff up.
Obama says the Republicans are going to paint him as a ’scary guy’…..nothing has gotten me ’scared’ of Obama as this. I am horrified. I have a 15 yr old daughter who may have to go to war in 3 years if this unfit man becomes president.
Joe did it for them. Keep on ticking Joe, you are helping to get John McCain elected.
I’ve heard enough – I have heard enough! The Obama camp is just so fucking stupid… Now they’re using fear?!
Dumb O. and Dumber B. the new democratic party, oh glee.
Have you voted yet? How’s it looking in NY? Still hopelessly blue this year.
God bles the Dems but hope they come to their senses by Nov. 4th.
Anybody with an account at dailykos, du or huffington? Not a peep of this story on their sites. Wonder why? LOL.
If Biden were a surrogate, he would quietly disappear from view. Since Obama made him his unfortunate choice of VP running mate, how’s he going to shut him up?
Hint to Joe – for Democrats, the topic is the economy. Psst – if you change the topic to foreign policy and you know, terrorism, that will help McCain. Put that on a note card and keep it on the podium at all public speaking events. Or not, up to you.
Joe Biden, the October surprise. Just keep talking, Joe!
I think he is doing this deliberately.
I guess Biden thinks the harassment of voters isn’t pushing enough voters into their column, so now he’s trying to scare people into voting for His Eminence. National security?? I’ll take my chances with McCain, tried and tested in the battlefield. That’s a no-brainer.
Omigod, motor-mouth Joe Biden is already warning us that leaders of hostile nations (or groups) will be testing Obama within the first six months of Obama’s reign as president.
John F. Kennedy also was “tested” because the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev felt Kennedy was inexperienced and a weak leader. Khrushchev’s belief that Kennedy was weak led to Khrushchev’s decision to erect the Berlin Wall, on August 13, 1961, thus physically dividing East and West Berlin for the next 28 years.
President Kennedy had acknowledged in a speech a few weeks earlier, on July 25, 1961, that the United States could hope to defend ONLY West Berliners and West Germans … that any attempt to stand up for East Germans would result only in an embarrassing downfall. A few months after the the first stage of the Berlin Wall (barbed wire) was erected, the Kennedy administration informed the Soviet government that it ACCEPTED the Berlin Wall as “a fact of international life” and WOULD NOT CHALLENGE it by force.
So what do you suppose Biden is preparing us to ACCEPT?
It seems to me Biden is making a case for electing someone the hostile world leaders would NOT feel free to test.
They would not have felt comfortable testing Hillary Clinton. They know she is tough.
And they would not feel comfortable testing John McCain, who they know would hit back.
But, Obama would dither, make excuses for being unable or unwilling to function, would call the hostile foreign leaders “racists” (which will bounce off them like water off a duck) and would then WHINE that he is being treated unfairly by Fox News.
Heaven help us all.
I’ll bet both Obama and Axelrod were so pissed off that they both called for a toke on a crack ciggy.
omg…LMAO….that’s so not right….haha
Maybe old Joe found that glass dick Obama’s been sucking on. Its pure crack from here on out for old Joe. He’s hip. He gets it.
OMG ROTFL
Thanks, Sen. Biden. The answer is clear: Elect a President that has already been tested, and passed the test, so that nutcase “world leaders” won’t be tempted to “see how the kid reacts.”
“Gird your loins,” Biden told the crowd…
“GIRD YOUR LOINS”!?
ROFL…what a nutter.
ya and the stable remark was strange too.
I know. What century is he from? He also uses the word Malarkey a lot and it irritates the heck out of me.
Malarkey is Joe’s favorite word cause he is full of it and he loves himself.
Wouldn’t you just love to be a fly on the wall when Axelrod asked Biden “WTF are you doing?”
i think joe biden is having a series of what in medical slang is known as “small shocks”. this would be related to an earlier brain aneurism that he sufferred.
thus,i think he is mentally challenged. just great… obama is an empty suit, and his veep is verbally handicapped.
we are in deep doodoo.
what exactly biden is referring to scares the crap out of me. it doesn’t even matter what it is.
all i know is that it can’t be good for America, and humans in general.
McCain/Palin
puhleez.
I think Biden doesn’t really want to be Obama’s VP, and these slips are Freudian.
Agreed.
I predict Obama will lead us into war with Russia; he will institute a draft which includes men and women. I think this would be just desserts for all of those youth who are voting for him and the thugs who are pulling out all of the McCain signs and vandalizing cars with McCain stickers. Send them to Russia…
Well not all the young people are doing that, just deserts for thugs but the good would die young too.
Better yet to not elect Obama.
“Because if you think the decision is sound when they’re made, which I believe you will when they’re made, they’re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.”
Other than none of that making any sense, I can see that whatever decision they have already made, that most of us will disagree, even the ‘Bots. What Biden’s asking the loyal followers to do is go into the community and show solidarity with Obama about a choice which Directly affects the citizenry.
I would bet that it has to do with the African Reparations Project and the subsequent turnover of all U.S. Military control to the U.N.
That takes care of the International peril that Biden was sooo eloquent about and forces the citizens to have to suffer at the same time, thus backing up the “tell your neighbor you support us” bullshit.
Now who do you think would make a better POTUS?
Biden or Palin?
Palin is a shoe-in!
Palin in a HEARTBEAT. I trust her more as PRESIDENT then I would EVER trust Obama as President
exactly.
Please, America, “gird your loins” and send these idiots back to the Senate.
I think this “gird your loins” stuff comes from an old hometown squaredance call:
Rub your belly with linseed oil,
Wrap your head in aluminum foil,
Girdle your loins till your face turns blue–
Dosey-doe & promenade too . . .
But . . . I’m old . . . I may be mistaken.
‘Gird your loins’ is a biblical reference. Can’t remember this moment which book or verse but it will come to me.
HERE IS WHAT I THINK OBAMA’S RESPONSE TO A NATIONAL OR WORLD CRISIS WILL BE….”IF YOU NEED ME CALL ME…OTHERWISE I WILL BE AT THE GYM WORKING OUT”….
I’m thinking his response would be: “It’s above my grade y’all”
present
chicken
According to Rasmussen
OHIO:
McCain: 49
obama: 47
FLORIDA:
McCain: 49 (last week, McCain was at 46 in Florida)
obama: 48 (last week, obama was at 51 in Florida)
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ…ntial_election
Now Rasmussen is pro obama so I’m thinking that Florida is going more to McCain then just 1 point. Cubans in the Miami area are NOT voting for Obama, once Obama opened his trap about “Spreading the wealth” around, they knew Obama was Castro
Now as far as Ohio is concerned, wouldn’t it be AMAZING after all the voter fraud that went on in Ohio for McCain to win there
Thank God! Thanks for posting that
This is key. If Biden thought he was saying something flattering that can only be said about Obama, then why would he say this at the end before he stopped his insane rant. He said it as he REALIZED the press was in the room. Didn’t he know they were going to be there?
How could such an experienced politician think they wouldn’t be there, even if he is sloshed or whatever makes him run his mouth? It strains credulity. Therefore I think he’s throwing a monkey wrench.
He knew damned good and well they were there all along. How much you want to bet?
Guys – Jossip is one of the best “Gossip” columns on the web.
Jossip comes off as Hollywood, but then you see articles like this
exposing how our media is in big with big money.

Our choice in this election=
MCCAIN…The United States is remains “THAT SHINING CITY ON A HILL”
Obama…The United States becomes “A PILE OF RUBBLE IN A TERRORISTS HELL”
Wake up America….The signs are all there that Obama is not good for our country. He will destroy us economically and lower our defenses by cutting the military…..VOTE MCCAIN, FOR YOUR FAMILIES AND YOUR COUNTRY
Do you think Biden is a McCain plant??
How else do ya ’splain this?
We all knew that it would happen, Biden finally put the words out there. Thanks for the warning Joe! This is one of the things I fear most about Obama and his inexperience…We don’t want a run at the mouth Biden as VP or president…I would trust “Joe The Plumber” to keep on subject more than I would Biden or Obama, Obama needs a teleprompter to keep thing straight and Biden, well Biden is a two time loser.
I hope you all watch “Joe T. P.” on Hannity tonight, if Dirt Colmes goes after him I will…well I will just hit mute like I always do when he talks.
Hahahaha Keep talking Joe! Keeping sinking that socialist fraud.
Just Biden being Biden.
You guys are right: this is definitely code for DRAFT. And just where is Senator Government going to march our troops? Is he still keen on invading nuclear Pakistan?
Remember Obama’s comments about the civilian military corps? He will have his own SS.
No doubt.
Biden is without a doubt the biggest Gas Bag in Washington. But I’m glad he reminded America of the threats to America – because they are real. McCain wins on all fronts when these issues are front and center.
“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” – Thomas Jefferson
Say its so, Joe!
You’re makin’ this ol’ fart happy. Think I’ll go mix one.
Larry I can’t watch the video, I look at the picture on the front and it just makes me want to cry…I watched a video a bit a go that has Obama supporters on it saying they want socialism.
Obama Supporters Heckle at McCain Rally
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgtij3dE10A
These are collage students so they really can’t plead ignorance….can they?
Yes, they are very scary. Their level of ignorance and sense of entitlement is frightening. Most of these people are losers who just can’t get over something that never happened to them.
I’ve lived in three former communist countries and met so many good people that survived the hell there. Too bad we don’t have a time machine to switch them out for these Neo-McGovern idiots.
Obama and Bush went to college……’nuf said.
We need to spread the word that Obama is for women registering for the Selective Service…I wonder how many Hillary supporters who are backing Obama would like to see young mothers go off to the military
Not sure if your tact works against that demographic. They are probably tend to be more liberal and if there is a draft, would feel it appropriate both women and men be called upon to serve. Maybe I am wrong.
college students and 20-somethings are the freaked out ones
you hit them on 2 fronts:
1) selfishly (”but, like why do I have to go?”), and
2) anti-war-mongering (”but, like I though Obama was against war?!@”)
i’ve shut up several fauxbama supporters by mentioning the draft already!
Cancel the drapes ordered by Obama.
How do you spell mutiny? Or, sabotage? Me thinks ole Joe thinks it’s best to let John McCain run the country after all — did Joe finally call Obama inexperienced?
Has Joe read Obama’s text: Quote from the Barack Obama’s book, Audacity of Hope, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
And this man wants to be President? Is this not prejudicial? Does it include his friends, the terrorists?
I and several tens of millions of people think NOT.
Let’s all elect John McCain and Sarah Palin.
…Cancel the drapes…. LMFAO
OT: If anyone from the RNC is reading:
Remember when Hillary said to turn off the tube/MSM? Would that make an interesting ad?
Maybe not, but I’m just a blogger with an old model tinfoil hat so what do I know.
Good point….Bill and Hillary both said that.
Maybe I won’t expend the cash on that newfangled copper lined silver encrusted tinfoil hat I’ve been eying?
First of all, he’s predicting a crisis. No, he’s not predicting one, he’s basically guaranteeing one. Have the Dems rigged some crisis so Obumble can come to the rescue?
After rigging the nomination and the convention, very little would surprise me. But how calloused would that truly make them?
And, if there is a major crisis looming on the horizon that’s so horrific, what makes Obumble the right man for the job? The fact that he takes no stance that can be relied upon or the fact that he is willing to say anything to anybody?
Obumble is really the Democratic reincarnation of Georgie W., but I’m sure he’ll want to appear different. Maybe he will be reading My Pet Pig when the crisis comes.
But isn’t the crisis here already in the form of the housing market collapse? And isn’t Herr Bumble in the thick of it? Sure, let’s give Dodd, Kerry and Obumble the reins since they’ve driven the horse into the pond already.
Dems rigged the election
Dems rigged the markets
Dems rig an attack? yes they would.
what else could a “generated crisis” mean?
what else could a “generated crisis” mean?
let’s never find out.
Why did the Reichstag burn? But this “generated crisis” could be much worse, and the first domino in the line falls. The next domino is what scares me: the creation of a private national security force answerable to the executive branch–in the interest of “national security” of course. Wiretaps and strict control of the internet will be necessary (the MSM are already in the bag). Of course, this might be hard to pull off unless both houses of congress are in the bag–whoops, they will be. And it might be hard to pull off unless The Leader is a very charismatic radiant-haloed figure who can charm you into disbelieving your lying eyes.
I think it’s almost time for a long winter’s nap, and I hope I am not awakened by the sounds of someone kicking in the front door.
What Biden is saying is that we will be attacked and Obama and Biden along with the Democratic party will do NOTHING because they will be right to do NOTHING other than roll over and show the underbelly in a passive we surrender moment.
That is why Biden said you will have to support us like never before and get in your neighbors face and support us because no one will beleive we are right. And they won’t be. He’s got that much right.
You mean along the lines of “America apologizes to the world” ?
Google chief executive Eric Schmidt plans to endorse Barack Obama this week and campaign for the Democratic presidential candidate…woo hooo…who give a F….!
If he does that we should find a new search engine.
I’ll drink to that.
How much you wanna bet that this “endorsement” will come out when Joe Biden’s comment is being hashed over and over the next few days? It’s the same ol’ trick. When Hillary was doing well or when O-scary is being scutinized, they throw out an endorsement. Barry, we’re on to you.
I’ve been desperately waiting to see who the Google CEO would endorse!!! snark.
Who is the Managing Director of the Western Regional Salvation Army going to endorse? I can’t stand the suspense.
Like Obama, Google’s stock is grossly inflated.
The thought of the largest and most efficient search engine in the world being in the bag for The Precious scares me quite a bit. But this paranoid thought is just going to have to get in line behind the long series of wild-eyed conjectures that are keeping me awake at night.
OT Dow up 400 points. If this keeps up, hasta la vista The Precious campaign into the crapper.
Definition of Sir: “a man of social authority and dignity; a gentleman, especially a man of rank; a lord, master or sovereign…”
Barack Obama, you, sir, are no John Kennedy.
Barack Obama, you, sir, are no sir!
Thanks for the video Larry. Very fitting. Another charismatic, party guy, who went to Harvard and has 2 children that is an inexperienced narcissist. One on the extreme right, the other on the extreme left.
Will history repeat itself?
Of course, according to Joe Running Mouth (his Cherokee name), we don’t know how Obama will respond to an international crisis, except that it will probably look wrong before everybody figures out they were really right.
However, we do know how Obama responded to 9/11 (thanks, Joe Wilson for throwing that into the mix, rightfully so).
Consider the future CIC’s response to those events, or at least what he says was his response:
Well, Joe Running Mouth was right about one thing. Obama’s choice definitely looks wrong. Only problem is, it still does.
When do we get the punch line?
Both McCain and Obama got a security briefing last week. Looks like Joe ‘can’t keep his mouth shut’ Biden has let the cat out of the bag AND has given an accurate assessment of what BO’s deer-in-the-headlights response will be. BO’s not nicknamed Bambi for nothing.
BO will be rolled like a drunk by any number of foreign leaders, both friend and foe. My bet is that Israel will not let Iran move forward with their ‘peacful’ nuclear program too much longer. Of course, with BO elected he’ll just ask the Iranians nicely to stop and of course they will.
Is it any wonder why Iran, Russia, Hamas, Hezbollah, Venezuela, Cuba…are pulling for BO.
What Joe Biden means is:
An Obama administration will ALLOW a terrorist attack against this beloved country, the have to implement all the FISA anti-democracy measures in order to keep THE ONE in office while he finishes off our freedoms.
Pledge of allegiance is banned. In Allah we trust is placed on all bills.
Since this will cause a little bit of anxiety or indeed a civil war, Obama and Joe wants all you Kool-Aid connoiseurs to stand up and defend The One, nay, The Brilliant One against the hordes of sanity.
In Allah we trust is already on the bills. Allah simply means God in Arabic. You can hear Allah in Christian churches throughout the Middle East.
I personally do not think any God or religion has a place on our currency, but thats a discussion for a different place and time.
Right now lets just keep Joe “Plugs” Biden and his friend Barky out of the White House, shall we?
That is exactly what I was thinking.
And what is a “generated crisis” anyway?!
Something already in the works, so Obama and his thugs can take complete control of the country?
Biden isn’t talking about a “rigged” crisis; he is in Senate Foreign Relations Committee so he knows alot, plus the campaigns are getting nat’l security briefings.
So whatever Biden is talking about is real. Personally, I don’t think the draft is a bad thing: all men in my family have served since Revolutionary War days. However, the Liberals sure won’t like it.
My family has done the same, although I was the only one in my generation to so do. I think it is an excellent idea. The one thing it would do, above all else, is drive home the idea that wars are not to be entered to lightly. It would also separate the true patriots from the chickenhawks in a New York nanosecond.
In itself, a draft might be a good idea. It might drive some of the arrogance from the hip-hop generation. What worries me is the prospect of a draft that provides options for service, some of those options perhaps being service in Acorn, or service in a private military organization. Right now it’s just science fiction, and I hope it stays that way.

“I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I’m not being falsely humble with you.
Doesn’t sound like Biden remembers too much of foreign policy..
Amazing how all of the negative focus has been on Pallin, when Obama’s running mate is a notch above brain dead.
Obama is the Anti-Christ like Bush was. Period.
Nobama, No Biden, no Democrats.
This is why I will revoke my membership henceforth and be Independent.
PUMA 2008!
Does anybody know if the Michelle Obama tapes have been released yet?
The question still remains, has the main media ask him, Sen. Joe Binden, to explain himself?
There is something fundermentally slipping away from us, it is not even funny: the freedom of the press.
We the people as we have been doing here should not let it happen.
You’re right Ugo. Freedom of the press is slipping far away and if Obama gets in we are not going to have free radio air waves and we are not going to have free internet. Thanks to team Obama we have already had problems with google.
Venezuela LOVES Russia.
Russia LOVES Venezuela.
Any questions?
Obama loves them both
This is better than the Powell endorsement. The second gift to McCain by a guy name Joseph. Way to go Joe the plumber and Joe the plugs
“the second gift to McCain by a guy name Joseph. Way to go Joe the plumber and Joe the plugs”
LOL
Calculate Your Obama Tax Increase With This Handy Calculator
This is a cool little site where you can prove Obama is a liar on taxes. Just plug in your 2008 income and then try it for 2000, to compare how much higher they will be after the Bush tax cuts are repealed. You’ll be shocked how “patriotic” your increase will be.

Fox learned about that here I bet.
McCain should do a mailing with that photo of Obama on Ayers book with his plug. That smiling picture and his boosting about how fine a book Ayers wrote makes him look like the big fat liar he is.
he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.
Poor Barry–he needs help. Can someone PLEASE tell me why we are choosing a “man-child” to assume this responsibility? That video is really frightening. It vividly captured the stunning incompetence of Bush in that critical moment. Does anyone think that John McCain or Hillary Clinton would continue to sit there reading “Pet the Goat?” It’s incomprehensible that ANYONE would, let alone the POTUS.
So, after 8 years of an arrogant, inexperienced, secretive president, people want to choose another one?!
Ya know its a damn shame that our media is no longer out there to protect us. I always thought they were out there to give us the news and let us decide, but CNN basically is covering up what Joe said, saying “Oh thats Joe just being Joe” and I didn’t see what MSNBC said, but its probably more of the same. Here you have Joe Biden basically saying that something horrible is gonna happen and they will have NO CLUE what to do about it, and that it will look really bad for a while but will improve, HEY JOE, THE PRESIDENCY ISN’T THERE FOR ON THE JOB TRAINING YOU SCHMUCK!! And here you have the media, NOT EVEN REPORTING IT, like its MEANINGLESS, this isn’t some insignificant thing about how JOBS is 3 letters, something stupid like that, this involves our NATIONAL SECURITY and they don’t even report it. I am just sick and disgusted by all of this, They don’t give a damn about US, they just want to get their damn messiah in the white house no matter what
Could not agree with you more.Have checked in the media for coverage ( tuned in CNN hoping for once they would do the right thing),
but no disclosure of the important facts and this Biden develpoment should be a top story line as it effects all of us.
Lou Dobbs is covering it now though and that is what
an honorable reporter does .Thanks Lou !

I think this is right. They (both candidiates) were just briefed last week with new info.. Biden can not resist the urge in front of influential donors to sound like he knows the inside sccop. My guess is they got new info. on Isreal and Iran. I think they have info. that if Obama gets elected, things will happen. Isreal will act more unilaterally (not trusting Obama) and Iran will test Obama in ways they would have never tested McCain in regards to Israel.
I think Biden is warning the liberal faithful that Obama will have to react with force, and it won’t be popular with their liberal supporters…especially those who see anything we do in defense of Isreal as “being in their pocket” and anti-Arab by nature. He’s warning them to hold their opinions in check and not tank the administration’s favorability numbers when this happens.
When this happens? The Precious has not been elected/selected yet officially anyway.
It was reckless for Biden to say it and this is how the electorate other than koolaid drinkers will see it. The real question is why did he say it? A slip? On purpose to sabotage The Precious?
I think it’s Pakistan. Right after his vague remarks, he talked about OBL “alive and well” and Pakistan’s problems.
Pakistan is a powder keg now. Gee, why don’t they go throw some gasoline on it and strike a few matches while they’re out there bloviating. Christ, this is a nightmare happening right in front of our eyes.
Joe truly has the gift of the gaffe.
Which by the way refers not to a mistake. But to a truth spoken by accident.
Ooopsi!
Merci Joe! Just couldn’t help it, could you?
“He’ll be in big trouble, the insolent pup, and then he’ll need old Joe to save him!”
This is it! Game changer.
Axelweasel is already arranging Joe’s terrible emergency withdrawal, causing Barky to replace him with …
No, Biden didn’t say all this “on purpose” to subvert the Precious. Biden just can’t stop running his mouth. But he does know something is “up”. He’s already trying to spin it. And we don’t even know what it is yet!
You can’t rule out the possibility of sabotage. Is it very likely? No, not very likely. Impossible? No, not impossible.
Politics is smoke and mirrors, not as always as it seems.
You are correct, Galt. Give yourself a bag of popcorn on me.
Thanks Ferd!
Ok.
WTF!!!!!!!
Cambell Brown (who I DETEST but the announcement came during Dobbs) says Biden is just now releasing his medical records and Sanjay Gupta is going to explain them!!!!!
This gets weirder by the minute.
Yes,and no mentioning about covering the Biden crisis statement.No surprise here.
I was thinking it’s more to lend credence to the medical crisis which will force Joe out of the race and be replaced by . . . . .
Is that why she’s campaigning so zealously these days?
Why the attention to Biden’s medical records and past condition now?
Or is this the cover for his gaffe today? He had a major Brain Freeze and Meltdown!!!
You’re right, basil. This is getting weirder by the minute.
They going to try to dump Biden—bring in Colin Powell?
I think it’s time for a Michelle Whitedove prediction.
On October 10 she said this:
- With every fiber of my being, I know that there is a major event looming either:
A) A US government plot which will be 911-like, with Bush claiming a state of emergency thus suspending and postponing the election and self imposing his dictatorship.
B) Another stolen election.
C) Some other huge upset like the stock market collapse.
D) An assassination.
E) All of the above.
This major event will be the catalyst for our government to instate military personnel for martial law. The ball is in motion, I clearly see that riots are already expected surrounding the elections. I have predicted Martial Law being enforced in the US since 2002 now look at the PROOF that it’s coming: LINK VIDEO ORDERS
-Hilary (for all of those that keep emailing)
She cut a deal with the shadow government; I still see her in play for the postponed election.
I have to comment on the 911 video for this article. As much as I think Bush is an idiot, I think he did the exact right thing at that elementary school. What the heck was he supposed to do? Go running down the hallway waving his hands and freaking out? No. Its not like he was on a tennis court or eating lunch at the club. He was in front of a group of children, probably the biggest moment in many of their lives (meeting the president). He knew he would only be there for about 5 minutes. He knew that he had relatively competent people in government doing their jobs.
As for him going in after the first plane but not the second, it could have been an accident. He was waiting for more info. Planes flying into large buildings are nothing new. I know when I first heard about it, I was like, yeah, right some single engine plane got off course (okay, I had a newborn and was nursing & it took me awhile to get to a tv…just as the second plane was hitting).
Anyway, I’ve seen this clip many times and I think he handled it very very well…considering he was in a state of disbelief. He didn’t want to upset the kids & its not like he could have whipped out a cape and flown into the clouds and stopped any further attacks. I also thing he was right on about invading Afghanistan.
Everything else he did in office was utter idiocy.
I agree, if one of my kids or grandkids would have been in that class I think I would have been glad he did what he did.
On another note …. Did you hear what John Kerry said?
[snip]
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/10/obama-backing-s.html
Kerry is just bitter cuz he couldn’t seal the deal.
I love it with the sexist and ageist jokes. Can someone remind me again why its wrong to make racist jokes, but okay to make sexist and ageist jokes?
I try to figure out how exactly was it that John Kerry was our nominee?
Small planes have hit buildings before; but jetliners do not crash into buildings that have major importance worldwide. Also, the World Trade Center had been bombed before. When Bush was told an airliner crashed into the first one, he should have had an aide excuse them from appearing and rushed back to his jet to find out what was happening & what he needed to do. It was not more important, at that critical time, for Bush to worry about what a class of kids would think if he didn’t make his scheduled visit with them.
If you can give me an example of a single thing he could have done in that 5 minutes that wasn’t already done by his staff, I’ll cede this point to you. One thing. Anything? I don’t believe any president would have done anything differently at that moment. Not Bill, not Hillary, not McCain. As for O’blahblah? Yes, I think he would have done something differently. I think he would have been The One to run down the halls flailing his arms in a panic.
Lisa, you needn’t take offense…I like both yours & 30 year dems comments very much. I just don’t agree with you on this one. At the time of 9/11, my youngest was in kindergarten & my oldest was in high school. I wouldn’t have cared if the Prez missed an appt that day. Although he couldn’t have stopped the second plane, he could have appeared to be more “commanderly”, and been getting more info from the military & intelligence services.
Lisa-
I hear what you are saying however I think when it comes to leadership…t
