In the immortal words of Joe Biden, "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself". (1988) Senator Obama just gave to Republicans a huge gift. We have so much tape of this guy making a fool out of himself it is just incredible. What was he thinking?
Another memory of Joe Biden I've been thinking about is during the 1991 confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Senator Orin Hatch and Biden had this exchange. Biden: "Your time is up Senator Hatch" Hatch "I think I have 30 more seconds... Can I just say two more sentences?" Biden: "God! Alright Dammit! just two more sentences but then I'm gonna cut you off real quick!" Hatch: "This is the United States of America, not the Soviet Union, Senator" Biden: "Oh God, God!" Hatch: "Now can I finsh...."
In 2000 during the confrmation of Attorney General John Ashcroft, Senator Biden full of pompousness and arrogance showed up late as usual and then went on to pontificate about the importance of not verbally hurting minorties, which John Ashcroft has never done and has no record of. On the other hand, two of Biden's comments recently have hurt Muslims and African-Americans. Practice what you preach Joe. Oh, I forgot, you are a liberal you do not believe in that. You believe "Do as I say, not as I do"
Don't even get me started on the confirmation of Judge Robert Bork which he turned into a fiasco, that would eventually derail the appointment of Bork to the Supreme Court. Bork would have made an excellent Supreme Court Justice and maybe if he did get on the court back then we would not have all the problems we have today.
I wish the media would stop calling Senator Biden a devout Catholic. You can't support abortion and be a devout Catholic. You must be pro-life to be a real Cathiolic. I'm Evangelical but I am more Catholic than he is. I'm pro-life for life.
McCain defeated Obama during Saddleback. Maybe if he picks a good VP he can keep the momentum going.
It's Sunday, God Bless America.
