BARACK OBAMA WILL BE TESTED IN INTERNATIONAL CRISIES, SAYS JOE BIDEN
"Mark my words, 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 gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate." Joe Biden
In a campaign event Democrat Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden warned that if Barack Obama is elected President, within six months there will be an international crisis specifically to ,"test," the new President. I do not agree with Biden 99% of the time but this is one instance where I am in total agreement with the Delaware Senator. Many consider this a gaffe but in reality this is the most truthful statement that Biden has made in this campaign.
Before I get into the guts of the Biden statement, this telling and troubling admission by Biden about his running mate is getting little press because of the dangerous scenario that it poses and the truth in the statement that lays to bare the inexperience of Barack Obama. If Governor Sarah Palin had made this statement about Obama it would be plastered all over the news as a terrible attack against the liberal messiah.
But Obama's running mate tells the truth about the danger surrounding an Obama Presidency and it is passed over as a minor gaffe and nothing more. The media may see it as a gaffe in order to protect their chosen candidate, Democrats are just shaking their heads at what they see as just another Biden miscue, but our enemies know this to be an absolute and even now with the possibility of an Obama Presidency are planning how to test this upstart, whether through a move on another neighbor or attempting an attack right here in The United States.
Joe Biden used the example of President John F. Kennedy and his being tested because of his little experience on the world stage by the Premier of The Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev. In June of 1961 less than six months after Kennedy took office the two leaders met in Vienna for a summit that was supposed to be an informal exchange of views.
Kennedy had just been dealt a major blow because of the Bay of Pigs disaster in Cuba which resulted directly from his inexperience as he trusted CIA chief Allen Dulles rather than looking into the full ramifications of the US trained Cuban freedom fighters invading Cuba. This was his first test as President and he failed miserably so as a result he desperately wanted and needed a successful summit with Khrushchev.
Even to the point of having his brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy engage in a secret nuclear testing compromise discussions that would be finalized in Vienna. Kennedy instructed that though the secret meetings were originated by Kennedy they would have to look as if they were begun by the Soviets because of a fear of a backlash from the American people because of the Bay of Pigs. Kennedy as such bared his vulnerabilities to Khrushchev before the summit.
The summit was an absolute disaster. Khrushchev belittled Kennedy, bullied him throughout the summit on Communist ideology, the balance of power between the two Nations, nuclear testing and Berlin all but threatening war. Kennedy left the meeting knowing it had been a failure while Khrushchev left knowing he was dealing with a weak President.
Seeing Kennedy's weakness because of his little experience allowed Khrushchev to confidently use that weakness in placing medium range nuclear missiles in Cuba directly threatening 80% of The United States with less than ten minutes of warning time. Khrushchev believed because of the Vienna meeting that Kennedy would not like the idea but would accept it. In October of 1962 this resulted in the Cuban Missile Crisis which brought the world to the very brink of nuclear war as Kennedy demanded rightfully so that the missiles be removed and blockaded Cuba.
While the crisis resulted in the removal of the missiles, the confrontation could have had a completely different outcome. In fact both Kennedy and Khrushchev believed even hours before the Soviets agreed to remove the missiles that nuclear war was inevitable with both countries on full alert ready to strike. All of this was a direct result of Khrushchev challenging Kennedy because of the weakness he saw as a result of the Bay of Pigs and the disastrous meeting in Vienna. Both of which occurred in the first six months of Kennedy's Presidency. Remember also that Kennedy had 14 years in both the House and the Senate, a full 11 years more experience than Barack Obama.
Is this want we want or need as the leader of our Nation ? A man, Barack Obama, who by admission of his own running mate brings with him even before he takes the oath of office the real and dangerous reality that within six months of taking office our enemies will seek to test how far they can push an inexperienced President. Possibly even using the opportunity to once again attack us on our soil or our interests throughout the world, endangering American lives. In these very troubled times we cannot afford Barack Obama's inexperience to be tested as President of The United States !

Strange... I thought I left a comment here. Perhaps it was another blog. Oh well...
I read that Biden suffered two aneurisms in 1988, Ken and that his brain was deprived of oxygen. He also has to under go brain scans every year or so. Perhaps the result of those aneurisms has caused him to not be able to process what he's going to say before he says it. He just sort of blurts it out there then regrets it later, but I doubt he can help it.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad he did it!
