Missing The Point(s)

Much is being made of Joe Biden’s mention of a “generated crisis”

“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “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,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

From the Political Radar:
“I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I’m not being falsely humble with you. I think I can be value added, but this guy has it,” the Senate Foreign Relations chairman said of Obama. “This guy has it. But he’s gonna need your help. Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, ‘Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?’ We’re gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I’m asking you now, I’m asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you’re going to have to reinforce us.”

“There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, ‘Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don’t know about that decision’,” Biden continued. “Because if you think the decision is sound when they’re made, which I believe you will when they’re made, they’re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.”

I guess my direction with this is a bit different……..

Being tested as a new President is not uncommon.  I would suspect that if McCain wins, he, too, will be tested but in a more simple way, since he is pretty much a known quantity when it comes to foreign policy and military matters.

But the end of the second paragraph is what really find interesting.  Not necessarily because of the “freaky factor” as experienced by Gateway Pundit, but that this is what Bush asked of the democrats all throughout this term from 9/11 on and the dems and liberals pissed on him.

I can’t tell you how many bumberstickers I have seen that say “Protest is the purest form of Democracy” and “Dissent is Patriotic”…….

Now Biden says, in effect, “I guarantee that something is coming.  We don’t know what it is, but whatever we do about it, you have to trust us because it won’t look right. I don’t know what it will be that we do for whatever happens, and it won’t look right but believe me, it is….”

At least Bush told you what the plan was……..VICTORY!

The other thing I find interesting are his words”we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community….”

I assume that means for the loyal followers to “convince” the rest who are unsure……but who knows?  Influence?  What influence?

So here you have a socialist guy who buries people to get elected (his IL Senate race), investigates private citizens (and he’s not even elected yet!), has school kids singing songs about him, has people at the DK wondering if he’s Christ returned, has the MSM eating out of his outstretched hand….

needing our help when his poll numbers are down….

Just think about it for a few minutes…..just weird eh?
