Obama picks RACIST

"In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian-Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking."

Thanks dummy Obama for HANDING the election to the Republicans. LOL

When the news first broke on Newsweek, I was rather swayed into thinking voting Democratic because of Biden even though I cannot stand the 'savior' Obama and the mindless masses which follow him to my disbelief.

But after browsing the blogs here, I see that I CANNOT vote for Obama, regardless of who he has chosen. Two of life's teachings in my observation has been to look out for someone who can gather a crowd like bees to honey (or using it); and the other is to allow someone to take credibility for another's work (or decades of work).

That is not a choice. That is same old.

Nope, can't do it.

Cannot be an ObamaBOT or anythingBOT.

Mindless, can't join the mindless ....

Joe Biden appears to be an EXCELLENT pick for Barack Obama, except for his "loose lips"!

And John McCain's new ad using Joe Biden's words against Barack Obama HURTS. Ouch!

Another BIDEN racist remark

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man."

So what he's saying is that since Obama is the FIRST African-American who is articulate and bright then all the other African-American's who came before him in Congress were what? Just morons and idiots? LOL, the Republican Party could NOT have picked a better candidate for Obama!

It is a pity Obama could not have choosen more than one VP . Too bad for the other betrayers aka 'soup drinkers' Bill Richardson,John Kerry and John Edwards - all your efforts were just a waste of time. And in the process you guys have lost all your dignity and whatever respect you may have had.

OBAMA BIn laDEN.

Another Zbigniew Brzezinski's mastermind. The same Brzezinski who came up with the CIA's Operation Cyclone (2/2/1977) under Carter to fund the Afghan Mujahideen (now known as Osama bin Laden and the al Qaeda) giving them 100's of millions of dollars and arms to overthrow the USSR backed Afghan government. The creater of the Islamic Fundamentalism (jihad).

Brzezinski's personal hate for the Soviet Union and his influence to Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Reagan and George HW Bush has given us:

Vietnam

Al Qaeda

Severed ties with Taiwan

China's international influence and now their financial control of US debt

Asylum of the Shah of Iran and the Iran Hostage Crisis of the takeover of our embassy.

Chemical Warfare - and giving Saddam chemicals to fight Iran - but he used them on Kurds instead.

Iran-Contra Affair.

Boycott of the 1980 Olympics in Russia (because of his Operation Cyclone to arm Afghan al Qaeda and Afghan government ASKED USSR to help.)

Arms buildup and Rapid Deployment Forces.

Soon to bring us to a full scale war with Russia - World War III - but no one will be around to write the end of that war.

Great judgment Obama has.

You have to admit that you pick a candidate who is not a yes man in every decision making process to be an effective Presidency. Joe Biden is such a candidate who can be such a VP candidate and I think who can be instrumental in making good judgement in policy making for Barack Obama. I think it is a great choice that Obama has picked Joe Biden to be his running mate.

I would like to attest my support and obviously all the Democratic supporters that will rally behind Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden to elect them as the President and vice President of the United States. that said, why I think that Obama has made the best decision to picking Mr. Biden deserves a look at this VP candidate more closely. As Mr. Andrew mentiones about the November lunch in Washington with several journalist, I was one of the persons who happened to ask a question over foreiign policy. That question was forwarded to Mr. Biden over Iraq situation in the Middle East. His in depth knowledge in foreign policy not only make him an asset for Mr. Obama but there will be a sustained Foreign policy that will be effective in the coming years that bush Adminstration has squandered in the last seven and half years.

Also, by picking mr. Biden it shows the vulnaribility of the McCain campaign and the Republicnas. The fear of Joe Biden to the Republicans are already startrting to appear in the air waves. You can't expect anything constructive from the Republicans in this campaign cycle. They can bring it on and the response is such that Bush , Dick Cheney and McCain are the same creatures that has destroyed the American economy, American status in the world stage and you think that the American people forgot about all these. I don't think so. mcCain is genuinly called as MCsame as the Bush Administartion. McCain has embraced Bush tax policy, Iraq policy even Bush is realizing that pulling out our troops responsibly are the correct decision to be made. I think Mr. Obama's judgement and Joe Biden's Foreign policy experience will help a probable solution to the blunder of Bush Iraq policy. Above all, the indept knowledge in economic,, judicial and above all the foreign policy of Joe Biden calls for the type of Obama Presidency that the American people are searching for.

I'm voting for Obama/Biden because I feel their values match mine closer than Mcain's.

For instance, I agree more with Obama's tax plan because it favors lower-income citizens, while Mcain's favors higher income citizens. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taxes.asp

I respect Warren Buffet's endorsement of Obama (or Clinton) as being a good direction for our country. He states that we need a leader who "won't just protect guys like me."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtWdFr1bkgA

Biden has the experience needed to ensure that we can make an eventual exit from the over $400 billion Iraq war. If the purpose of this war was to stomp out terrorism, how successful has it been?

http://www.fpif.org/fpiftxt/4106

As a woman, I appreciate Obama's pro-choice policy. God forbid that if I was ever gang-raped, I would not want to be forced to conceive that baby.

Mcain stated that anyone making over $5 million dollars/year is rich and he does not know how many houses he has. Obviously, he does not struggle with the same issues that myself, my family and my friends do. Obama owns one house.

There are many more reasons I could go into, but I have to get ready for a wedding. I respect Mcain as a person, but I do not feel that he would make the best choice for president. I do feel that Obama would be a very fair and wise president and that he would surround himself with a powerful team of intellects to help him run this country and put us back on our feet.

In choosing the competent, but unloved, Biden, Obumer admits that he was in way over his head. Biden was not waiting by the phone like some school girl and you can be sure that Biden got a large portfolio of responsibility and Obumerwill do PR. Those that put up Obumer hoisted Biden on the ticket; if the lackey:Obumer did not go along: it would have been Hillary when the delegates were count was finished.

I hope Obama realizes just how angry Hillary supporters are right now. Biden has been a big loser in every presidential campaign. He doesn't bring in any new votes or excite anybody. Meanwhile, Clinton garnered 18 million votes in the primary and leads Obama in national polls against McCain. Only half of her supporters are planning to vote for Obama as of today. He could have united the party, added her experience to the ticket and stuck with his change theme because a female VP represents change. Instead, he picked a guy that mainly inspires yawns. And the way he dragged it out only made him look foolish. Even the 3 a.m. timing of the text is a direct slap at Hillary for her 3 a.m. ad. He comes across as arrogant and too weak to pick (or even consider) the most formidable person as his running mate. I'm hearing from a lot of pissed off women today. Hell hath no fury. I think Obama may have just lost the general election.

The biggest rap againt Biden seems to be that he opens his mouth to change feet. Since this hasn't affected Bush the Younger's ability to go to Washington twice, I doubt it will matter much for Biden.

Cheney and Bush the Elder have shown us that the VP position can indeed be very powerful when you have a weak president: Obama is far from weak. So if Biden offsets some of Obama's perceived weaknesses, that's fine. (It will be interesting to see who McCain can find to offset his).

But with the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Russians in Georgia and the Chinese seemingly everywhere, the real question is who Obama (and McCain) will nominate for Secretary of State.

The Sec. of State nominee and any Supreme Court Justice nominees are the real positions of power. we should be concerned about.

If the MSM truly wants to help the American electorate make an informed choice, they should push both candidates to reveal their picks in these areas.

I'll tell you the bad for Obama in making this pick. He and Biden have some stark policy differences that McCain will exploit. Not WRIGHT for America has a hilarious spoof post about Obama debating Biden instead of McCain. www.notwrightforamerica.com. I think that sums up the problems with the Biden pick.

re: The Good and Bad on Biden

Rametyn — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 20:49:49 GMT

Here is what I think is most striking about the Biden pick.

Most coverage in the news and papers are talking about this mentor--mentee relationship they will have. Meaning Biden will be instructing the President on ... well ... how to be presidential. LOL

In the corporate world the mentor tutels the mentee while he is the one in charge, not the other way around. People wouldn't run their companies that way--but they are willing to experiment with this process in the running of our country.

That people are willing to vote for this guy, even after picking Biden is an almost admission by Obama that he has no experience, especially illuminating his need to shore up his lack of foreign policy, is just proposterous.

He might as well come out and say, "Yeah, I know I don't know anything about running this country--but hey--I got this guy Biden who's gonna help me with that."

YOU ARE VOTING FOR A GUY WHO BY PICKING BIDEN IS ALL BUT ADMITTING HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING!

We should be electing the best, qualified person for this job--not the one who is least qualified, and who needs qualified people to run with him just so that he might look ligit.

And voting for McSame and HIS choice -- Romney, the REAL ELITIST, who speaks French??? I thought the GOP HATED French-speakers, but now I see it only matters if they're Democrats -- will get you four more years of the SAME TIRED OLD TRICKLY DOWN SHITE THAT WE'VE HAD TO SUCK UP THESE PAST 8 YEARS.

Do you really want a total of 12 years of disgustingly rich millionaires ruining your country? Honestly, they do NOT CARE about middle class problems. They go to war to personally profit from the stock prices of the industrial/electronic companies that get huge military contracts; they do not go to war for some high-minded ideal or to save anyone for Democracy - they go to war so they can MAKE MORE MONEY, PURE AND SIMPLE.

Romney is also a RAGING ELITIST - WELL EDUCATED, SUPER-RICH, TOTALLY PRIVILEGED ALL HIS LIFE -- JUST LIKE BUSHES AND MCCAIN.

McCain never would have got into the Naval Academy if his daddy and grandpappy hadn't already been there; Bush Jr. never would have been in politics if it weren't for his family.

By contrast, Obama and Biden made it ALL ON THEIR OWN.

Give me THAT type of Politician ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. FORGET THE GOP. THEY'RE TOAST. And Obama's making Black History!!!!! HOORAY for him.

notroubleatall1963 — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 21:24:55 GMT

Do you think there might just be a connection here:

Let's see, Bush Sr. in the 1980s brought us the huge Savings & Loan scandal, in which McCain and Neal Bush personally took part and likely stashed away some undeclared profits.

Now we have had Bush Jr. ("W") in office these past eight years, culminating in - low and behold - a whopping Mortgage Crisis that impacts global banking systems and that is fast evolving into a huge credit crisis. We've sold our souls to China and have a symbiotic relationship with a "Communist" country (actually, it's evolving so fast into the United States of China, even modeling their own healthcare system after our broken one)... and we have McCain kow-towing the the Bushes in order to get elected by the neocon base that supported them.

Fact is, McCain owes Bushes big-time - the old man Bush likely covered for him in the Keating Five scandal during his S&L days. So it's payback time, and McCain is singing from the same jailbait song sheet.

Send all the CROOKS in the GOP to JAIL. Vote Obama-Biden this time and rescue the USA from the power of EEEVVVVIIIILLLLLL - the Axis of Evil is, in reality, the Bush-McCain-Romney trio of families --- THE MEGA-RICH RUINING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THEIR OWN POWER AND PROFIT.

"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" - it's a TV show that should be revived as an expose of this crooked TRIO of Republicans. Tacky, criminal, ruthless. Watch out - don't criticize 'em too much or you might get AUDITED by the IRS -- or knocked off somehow.
