Joe Biden Watch: America’s Enemies Will TEST Obama
Joe Biden warned that America’s enemies would test Barack Obama with an international crisis within six months if he’s elected president – a shocking comment John McCain eagerly pounced on yesterday to claim Obama isn’t ready to be commander-in-chief.
“Mark my words,” Biden told donors at a Seattle fund-raiser Sunday night.
“It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.
“Watch. We’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.
“And he’s going to need help . . . to stand with him. Because it’s not going to be apparent initially; it’s not going to be apparent that we’re right.”
The audio and video of Powell and Biden is here and below:
The John McCain response:
“The next president won’t have time to get used to the office. We face many challenges here at home and many enemies abroad in this dangerous world,” McCain said. “We don’t want a president who invites ‘testing’ from the world at a time when our economy is in crisis and Americans are already fighting two wars.”
McCain said it was even “more troubling” that Biden suggested supporters stick by Obama if the actions he takes are wrong or unpopular.
“Senator Obama won’t have the right response, and we know that because we’ve seen the wrong response from him over and over during this campaign,” he said.
Now, even former Clinton Administration Secretary of State Madeleine Albright agrees: it is a ‘statement of fact’ that terrorists will test Sen. Obama within first six months of his presidency.
The video:
Is Obama experienced and prepared to be President?
Who do American voters want answering that 3 AM call in the White House?
John McCain…….

The One will be tested???? Not hardly. The World awaits His Coronation. He will, unlike the eville McChimpyBushHitlerBurton, reach out to those who would destroy us…errr,… dislike us, feel their pain, and bring joy and prosperity to a world sorely in need.

Joe Biden says the election of Obama may lead to a new conflict, terrorist attack, or a third war. A careful analysis of history says he may be correct.

Please Babsy, I hope your reply was facetious rather than naive. Obama as President is a frightening prospect, the man couldn’t even notice his pastor was preaching hate though he sat in that church for 20 years. How in the world can we trust him to “NOTICE” how much ill will and intent our enemies have for USA. In all likelihood, they won’t even be screaming it at Obama from a pulpit to get his attention!

@4. obama policies will stop the ill will americas enemies have for the USA. its mccains ‘might is right’ policies you should be wary of,esp the preconditions for negotiatioms. for the last 30+ years americas foriegn policies[which mccain was apart of] have created a ‘blowback’ which caused terrorism to flourish. at least obama realizes this and will put the US foriegn policies on a path which will reduce the hatred which drives the terrorist. the rev. wright was correct in some of his statements.

Hey, Sass!
Always great to hear from those whose creed is tolerance, inclusion, and diversity. So what you’re saying about our foreign policy is that our enemies will always strike at the strongest, most fortified targets as opposed to exploiting perceived weakness? Am I reading you correctly? If so, that would explain why US Military installations are targeted in frontal assaults instead of the softer commercial jetliners and Christian schoolgirls. Please remember that I have only an eighth grade edukashun so I might be overwhelmed by your brilliant logic on your first attempt at explanation.
Hugs, kisses, and Kumbayah.
