Biden Must Hate Himself

Leave a Comment Joe Biden said that Barack Obama is too inexperienced to be the President. He also said that he doesn’t want to be Vice President. He doesn’t want to be asked.
Well, he was asked. Now he’s Obama’s Vice President. If I was Biden and actually meant what I said I would really hate myself right now. I mean, seriously, basically being forced into a position that he probably doesn’t want to be in….ouch. Imagine, four years of working with someone you know shouldn’t be doing what he is doing. You know you could do it better. You have the experience. The know-how. The means to get things done. Aw. But you can’t, so sad.
Biden, you just walked into hell. Hope you enjoy.

Leave a Comment When JFK gave a rousing speech to thousands of German’s, he was president.
When Barrack Obama gave a rousing speech to thousands of German’s…he was still a senator.
When a presidential candidate goes oversea’s, especially to Europe, and starts making inspiring speech’s it sends a signal. To each person this signal is interpreted differently, but I would say for the most part this signal says, “Zeal”. He’s zealous to become president. Personally, I wonder if this is a bit much, especially since he is still a regular U.S. citizen, not the leader of a country. I also think it presumes that he thinks he is going to become president, since other countries have no say in our election. Going over to other countries in some pseudo-campaign seems rather bizarre, unless of course you have a good chance of winning.
The only question that has to be raised is, “Does he have a good chance?” With all the hype around his campaign most would say he does, but at the same time his ratings in the polls aren’t verifying this feeling.
So, is the media trying to potray him as the next best thing to PB&J while ignoring the polls? Has the hype not caught wind of the newly formed “PUMA’s” (Party Unification My A**) by the Clinton supporters? Or maybe this is a sure thing for Obama? I suppose only time will tell.
If anything this election seems to be headed in the same direction as the JFK v. Nixon election. JFK, a young fresh face with a large majority of young voting supporters behind him. Nixon, an old man with lots of experience with an appeal to more conservative voters.
If history repeats itself, McCain may be doomed.
