vbnautilus 49 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Did you mean to post a link? What statement?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." Link to post Share on other sites
hblask 1 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 <So he's pre-excusing his mistakes even before he's elected? Nice.... Link to post Share on other sites
Sal Paradise 57 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 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.So he's pre-excusing his mistakes even before he's elected? Nice....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. Link to post Share on other sites

Wiz Adult 0 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 30 years in the Senate and this is how much he learned. Dumb as a rock. 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.

El Guapo 10 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 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. Link to post Share on other sites
vbnautilus 49 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I really don't get what Biden is trying to say here. Can anyone translate? Link to post Share on other sites

hblask 1 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I really don't get what Biden is trying to say here. Can anyone translate?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.

copernicus 0 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I really don't get what Biden is trying to say here. Can anyone translate?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. Link to post Share on other sites

"Here is a reason why you should not choose my running mate that could affect you in a dramatic way"I seriously doubt that was Biden's intent (and I am not even sure I interpret his statement that way at all). Much more likely he stuck his foot in his mouth trying to make some larger point. Link to post Share on other sites
