Anyone know about this very recent Biden comment that....

Obama will be tested by our enemies early on in his presidency? The media is starting to catch onto this and giving it attention....they say it was said with no cameras around....they say that McCain is already using this statement against Obama.

3. yes, there are about seven threads on it.

and the media mentioned it yesterday and dismissed it then...the only reason they have to mention it today is because the McCain campaign is trying to turn it into something that it's not. Even after McCain has used it, most have said (AC360, John Harwood, Dana Bash, Andrea Mitchell, etc) that it was a gaffe, but probably won't have a big impact.

5. I would say that every single American President is "tested" soon after entering office

Has there been one who hasn't?

Come on, McCain, quit being an asshole.

8. not to mention the fact

that Dick Cheney was practically acting president on 9/11, and Palin has said she wants MORE power than Dick Cheney. Is anyone really going to take foreign affairs lectures from the Church Lady? Oh, and this is really shallow, but MSNBC just showed the beginning of a Palin event and the person introducing her was wearing the most hideous American flag shirt I have ever seen. Talk about disrespecting the flag!

21. Don't worry about it Dennis. It was debated about the board this morning.

Joe Scar on MSNBC freaked out about it but when I watched CNN last night there was one little mention about it. I don't see anything wrong with what he said and Rethugs are pretty desperate. CNN not really talking about it much today either. Hmmmm...I think it was just Morning Joe but they are a Rethug love factory there. Sorry everyone jumped all over you.

36. People are getting testy, Dennis. I'm sorry you were treated this way.

I wish people would lighten up a bit.

Hey, take it easy on yourself. Don't worry, DU will be a very different place come November 5!

28. Let's see. If the nation is challenged who will we want-- McLurch

saying "there is absolutely no problem," on Monday and then running around hair on fire on Tuesday calling for martial law to combat the emergency ?

Or No Drama Obama who kept campaigning while on the phone with Secretary Paulson and colleagues coming up with solutions for the financial crises?

COLIN POWELL thinks Obama would be better as Commander in Chief and I agree with him.

31. Lawrence Eagleberger, who supports McCain, has already said that what

Biden said is probably true. Obama WILL be tested, just like JFK was, and others before him. No big deal.

34. Did you watch the interview with Lawrence ODonnell (sp)?

Tied Eagleberger into a knot using his own words! :rofl:

(paraphrase) Why did you support Gov. Reagan and Gov. Bush if a person's foreign policy experience is the test of being able to serve as President of the United States?

33. Biden - or Boden - has two events today - one within the hour.

I'm betting that he will have a thing or two to say today on how the msm is taking his words out of context.
