I think he means this:
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/20...-to-suppor.html
"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."

well to be fair, it doesn't really sound like he's pre-excusing his mistakes, just pre-blaming obama's supporters for not standing behind him enough.

You have some nerve to call him dumb! Especially when you support Bush' policies. I see absolutely nothing wrong with anything he said.Retards like you always seem to distort what people say and put a negative spin on things that are totally innocuous.He is asking people to trust their new president(if Obama is elected) that is all.

I call him dumb because I worked with him personally and know it for a fact. You can also look at his 30 year voting record where hes been demonstrably wrong on every issue except those he's been on both sides of.

"Emerald City Supporters"? Is that some srt of oblique gay reference? Like "Friends of Dorothy"?

Wow, I hope this gets some play. This is a huge reason for people not to vote for him. McCain, if done correctly could really get a lot of swing voters away from Obama.
I cannot believe Biden said this. He really is dumb.

It looks to me like what he is saying is that within six months, someone will make a hostile act against the US (or one of our allies) to "test" Obama, and that we should just look the other way when Obama starts to govern like Bush when that happens.

Within 6 months of Obamas inauguration there will be an international crisis manufactured to test his resolve. I take that to mean Russian aggression, terrorist attack either here or a major US interest, or oil shortages at the top of the list.

So you think Palin is smarter? Did you not see the CBS interview? I know you're bitter about Obama being odds on favourite to win, but you really take it to the extreme.
