“Mark my words,” Mr. Biden warned at the Seattle fund-raiser, according to reports from network producers traveling with him, “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. Remember, I said it standing here, if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

He added, “He’s going to have to make some really tough - I don’t know what the decision’s going to be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it’s going to happen.” He said he could envision four or five scenarios that might arise to challenge the new president, citing Russia or the Middle East as possible sources of trouble.


i find this quite weird too. i mean there are a lot of ways he could of said it, but the way he did it and the way he emphasized it, came off as rather odd.

"mark my words" "remember this, if you don't remember anything else i said" "i promise you it will occur" "i guarantee you it's going to happen"

yeah that does sound a little ominous. he almost comes off as kind of paranoid

I completely agree with what Biden said and I personally do not think it was a slip. The way events are progressing means that it is likely that EITHER president will be basically thrown in the deep end. The Republican campaign called it a slip sighting examples like the bay of pigs incident and subsequent Cuban missile crisis just after Kennedy was elected as examples of why a new guy are bad under these circumstances. It is ridiculous at the time it may have seemed bad but his actions have been proven correct over time. The nature of the problems that exist today are such that at first it will appear as if the president has not succeeded but what counts is whether their policies and legacy stands the test of time, on this count I would back Obama.

Biden is great, the last thing we need right now is another politician who is full of shit.

it is not that what he said is a huge stretch, but the choice of time and place is questionable, especially with the media being the amplifier of precisely silly bits like this.

Yeah the last thing Biden or anyone should do right now is give the Republicans anything to go with. For example Obama does not point out how stupid McCain's economic policies are because he is already ahead why pick a fight you have already won.

The idea of a generated crisis is pretty close to reality, I am interested in who he thinks would generate such a thing.

I think the Clinton supporters who claimed to be supporting McCain were only making empty threats because they want to be courted by the next candidate.


I wish you were right

I think there's some (not really any significant #) but definitely some who are that bent out of shape from primaries. Two girls I know said 'I really like Palin; she's a woman!' and I had to resist shooting myself. They were clinton-backers a few months ago. Fuck, my goddamned congressman's sister said she wasnt sure if she'd vote for Obama if Clinton didnt get it and shes a fucking Democrat!!
if i were an american, i wont vote for Clinton just because i am a girl and she's a female candidate..i think its dead dumb la..-_-

Damn, I think the only reason McCain is even running for presidency, is because they know no other republican has any sort of shot at being elected.
