biden guarantees international crisis if obama is elected

[System_Error]

“Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy," Biden said. "And he’s gonna have to make some really tough -- I don’t know what the decision’s gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you, it’s gonna happen.”

I'm confused. Is this another dumb slip by Biden, a warning to voters, or was there strategy behind him saying this?

It's just a fact. Kennedy had to deal with the Bay of Pigs. Bush had to deal with 9/11.

Obama will have to deal with the economic meltdown. The heads of state meeting that Bush has set up with the EU won't take place until after Bush leaves office. The agenda will probably include the US president being required to debate the foraging patterns of squirrels, just to entertain.

There's not enough context around that quote; by "this guy", was Biden referring specifically to Obama, or to the next president? The paragraph above the quote says "Obama would be tested", but that would be the case with either interpretation...

The quote does come across as ambiguous, but he was referring to Obama specifically. However, it really doesn't matter. That situation will apply to whoever our next president is.

What he said just hit me the wrong way. I thought there was some form of intelligence he received specific to Obama's term.

Biden has a big mouth, which is necessary, as he has big feet.

[dbasnett]

sounded like a two foot remark to me. i wonder how long he got chewed out?

[demotivater]

I thought the world would love us and all would be well with Bush gone. Why would anyone want to attack us?

In other news, Biden has suddenly disappeared from the campaign trail.

Why is Joe smiling?
Because Joe has gained renewed confidence and pride, since Joe's become another Happy customer of Enzyte, The Natural Male Enhancement!
