Obama Debuts Clean, Articulate Running Mate

youtube.com

Here he is, the man Barack Obama introduced Saturday as “the next president of the United States of America” (before immediately correcting the slip of the tongue). Following his introduction at the Springfield, Ill., event, Biden wowed the crowd with a sprightly trot to the podium, showcased his facility with the all-important politician’s point and waxed poetic about his personal history. Unseemly gaffes about Obama’s personal hygiene and command of language are apparently a thing of the past, the hatchet’s buried, and now the soon-to-be-nominated Democratic presidential hopeful and his newly announced partner, the senior senator from Delaware, are sharpening their battle axes in their quest for the White House.

Three lousy assassination stunts so far. So which one that might be coming could be real? This is an old military stunt. Mount bogus attacks to keep everyone busy while the real thing stabs the victim in the back.
Obama, you’re too good for this world.

Biden may have been selected because crooks talked him into picking him. He would make a good successor for them if Obama is killed. Obama has become the perfect sacrificial lamb for the crooks. If they kill him they demoralize and weaken the left for good. They will destroy their will to fight. It is the same with Anwar. Environmentalists but toomany eggs in a remote basket. The goal for the crooks is not the oil. They want to destroy the environmental movement by destroying its will to fight.

Now that he’s chosen Biden, I only wonder about one thing. Does Barry get to call him “honkey” a couple of times?
