OBAMAS JUST BEEN BIDEN HIS TIME

It's official folks, Obama has thrown caution to the wind, admitted he doesn't know shit about foreign relations and defense, and will nominate 65 year old cantankerous old fuck, Joe Biden. Known to throw out some truly wild quotes from time to time, the circus which was threatening to close up their tents, has decided to leave em' up a while.
Why Biden? For one thing they have plagiarism charges in common (Biden was caught in an 88 stump speech). He is what Obama isn't...mature, experienced and knowledgeable in foreign affairs. Want to know something else they have in common?.....SSHHH.....they are both severely pro-Palestinian. Here is an example of a Biden quote: "I support immediate financial assistance to the newly elected Palestinian president. Now, I don't know what those numbers will be, and I don't know how it's going to be framed. "
And he will give you the occasional George Bush quotation..."The Middle East is hopeful. There's hope there." And this:“One thing is clear: These weapons must be must be dislodged from Saddam, or Saddam must be dislodged from power.” Voted for the war....YUMMY.
But my all time classic: “And I think Hillary Clinton is able to be elected president of the United States.” “Let's just be smart this time. I'm looking for smart.”
Obama / Biden : a ticket similar to a push me / pull you." And he thought Bill Clinton had a screw loose, Biden has more luggage than a Samsonite factory.
OK, here is the major downside....Biden was right with Clinton on Obama's inexperience. Here is a quote from the primary season
....."You know he’s a very smart guy. I can’t speak for me. But I know for me that it was a learning experience. I worked very hard. I’m sure he’s working very hard too. I’ve watched seven presidents, and I’ve watched presidents who have come to office who haven’t thought through some of the areas that theyt’ve never worked in, for example foreign policy. I watched several presidents come in and they’re smart as the devil and they get here and unless you already know when you get here exactly what your foreign policy is, it’s awful hard to hit the ground running and not to make serious mistakes the first couple of years. I’m not saying that senator Obama is where I was [when elected to the senate at age 29]. I was younger than he was when he got to the Senate. But I do think, I acknowledge that experience is not the issue, it’s whether your experience has been good or bad. Somebody with 34 years of bad experience isn’t perfectly qualified to be president,
someone with 34 years of good experience that makes a big difference. So, again,
I know it’s kind of difficult to master, it’s kind of difficult to feel sure-footed in a lot of areas that you haven’t spent a long of time dealing with
."
And of course, there is this......"I think he can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training."

Now comes the switch from Dennis Prager to Rush. He has been hoping that it was Biden... he says he's got tons of audio to use from him. Biden, I will say, will be running the Presidency if he and Obama get in.

Senator Biden? A sad choice. Disappointing to learn that this brilliant speaker/Senator from Illinois is inept making real courageous decision. Clearly anyone following politics and want to see change would know a Obama/Hillary ticket is the right choice. Not only the Democrats going to possibly now loose this election, nothing will change. Goodbye to Universal healthcare/medicine and putting our children first. Goodbye to what could have been a dream ticket. Obama/Clinton would not only have been more votes from woman and smart men it would of set the course of change for at least the next 16 years where our country desperately needs it. Lately United States of America could be renamed United State Inc. Wow! Amazing stupidity lately from Obama. Wow! My hope at convention Hillary gets the nomination some how and does the best thing possible put Obama on the ticket. It makes me puke thinking politics as usual. Dammit where are heroes when we need them most.
Speaking of more bullshit politics on the other side it’s amazing to that now McCain is being pushed by the GOP after clearly being scandalized in 2000. I wish McCain was our President on September 11, 2001. Frankly he would of done a much better job sadly though our hope is not putting another Republican in office but somebody different. True courage would allow Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich both who if looked more like Jack Kennedy would be our next president.

Hillary and Obama would kill each other! Another Vince Foster would be on your hands, not mine.

Thank God! No universal health care. Hallelujah! I mean it works so well in Canada and Britain.

I think it was Ottawa... hold on... Quebec, sorry, that struck down socialized medicine as creating lots of inequality.:

Let's hope Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy were sitting down when they heard the news of the latest bombshell Supreme Court ruling. From the Supreme Court of Canada, that is. That high court issued an opinion last Thursday saying, in effect, that Canada's vaunted public health-care system produces intolerable inequality.

Call it the hip that changed health-care history. When George Zeliotis of Quebec was told in 1997 that he would have to wait a year for a replacement for his painful, arthritic hip, he did what every Canadian who's been put on a waiting list does: He got mad. He got even madder when he learned it was against the law to pay for a replacement privately. But instead of heading south to a hospital in Boston or Cleveland, as many Canadians already do, he teamed up to file a lawsuit with Jacques Chaoulli, a Montreal doctor. The duo lost in two provincial courts before their win last week.

The court's decision strikes down a Quebec law banning private medical insurance and is bound to upend similar laws in other provinces. Canada is the only nation other than Cuba and North Korea that bans private health insurance, according to Sally Pipes, head of the Pacific Research Institute in San Francisco and author of a recent book on Canada's health-care system.

"Access to a waiting list is not access to health care," wrote Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin for the 4-3 Court last week. Canadians wait an average of 17.9 weeks for surgery and other therapeutic treatments, according the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute. The waits would be even longer if Canadians didn't have access to the U.S. as a medical-care safety valve. Or, in the case of fortunate elites such as Prime Minister Paul Martin, if they didn't have access to a small private market in some non-core medical services. Mr. Martin's use of a private clinic for his annual checkup set off a political firestorm last year.
