Recently I heard someone define a gaffe as, “When a politician tells the truth.” I figured the most revealing truth in political history had to be Obama telling Joe The Plumber, “I’m not trying to penalize you but I believe we’re all better off when we spread the wealth around.” I guess he meant like in Russia, France, North Korea and other places where ‘working people’ get government help all the time.

Anyway, I was wrong about the historical significance of Barry’s statement. Not to be outdone by the boss, Joe Biden stepped up today and warned, “Mark my words! If we’re elected, Obama will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in office.” Imagine the reaction if a Republican had said that? He even guaranteed it and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright agrees!

Gee, it would be just like John Kennedy with the ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’. Obama already fantasizes that he’s J.F.K.; I’ll bet he can’t wait! Do you suppose it will be another attack on the U.S. or just Iran wiping Israel off the face of the Earth? Maybe Russia will try to reassemble more of the former Soviet Union or China enforce its claim to Taiwan. Meanwhile, Joe from Scranton [or is it Delaware?] concedes that, because of his experience, John McCain probably would not face such a test.

So let’s see: With Obama we get a crushing tax burden, failed socialist policies, radicalization of our children, weakened national security, destruction of the First and Second Amendments, a Liberal Supreme Court for the next couple of decades, terrorist advisers in the White House and chaos in the world to test his inexperience. Hm-m-m, sounds like a good deal to me. Oh, let’s not forget that with Obama we also get ‘The First Mama’ who hates White oppressors and thinks America is a mean country in the first place.

For once I agree with Joe Biden. Not only will Obama be tested but third rate madmen all over the world are salivating at the prospect of an all Democrat regime who will oppose them with the same limp-wristed policies as did the Clinton clan. By the way Joe, how much are the McCain people paying you to say stuff like this?
