Biden "Shushes" wife over slip

My husband learned at his review this year that he often pushes up his glasses with his middle finger.

At his review?

Just when you thought management couldn't get any more petty.

Biden really was the powerhouse in foreign affairs "experience" among the Democratic contenders in this election. He knows this stuff like nobodies business.

The only problem is, his assessments and solutions are so wrong, wrong, wrong.

I sure hope

he stays away from Barack during these decision making moments. My first impulsive concern when He named Joe as his running mate was that Obama who (lets be honest now) has little experience about these things will lean on Biden as an adviser.

The list is very long but here are just a few examples of his errors (Taken from NYPost)

* In 1979, he shared Carter's starry-eyed belief that the fall of the shah in Iran and the advent of the ayatollahs represented progress for human rights. Throughout the hostage crisis, as US diplomats were daily paraded blindfolded in front of television cameras and threatened with execution, he opposed strong action against the terrorist mullahs and preached dialogue.

* Throughout the 1980s. Biden opposed President Ronald Reagan's proactive policy against the Soviet Union. Biden was all for d�tente - which, in practice, meant Western subsidies that would have enabled the moribund USSR to cling to life and continue doing mischief.

* In 1990, Biden found it difficult to support President George Bush's decision to use force to kick Saddam Hussein's army of occupation out of Kuwait.

* A decade-plus later, the senator did vote for the liberation of Iraq from Saddamite tyranny. But as soon as terrorists started challenging the new democratic system in Iraq, he switched sides and became a critic of the whole war effort. He claimed that the Iraq war was lost and suggested that the US partition the newly liberated country into three or more mini-states.

Biden's misreading of the situation in Iraq shows that experience is no substitute for judgment. He judged the situation on the basis of headlines and CNN footage - not the long-term, geo-strategic interests of the United States. In short, he lacked what President Harry Truman called "strategic patience."

* For more than a decade, Biden has adopted an ambivalent attitude towards the Islamic Republic in Tehran, now emerging as the chief challenger to US interests in the Middle East. Biden's links with pro-Tehran lobbies in the US and his support for "unconditional dialogue" with the mullahs echo Obama's own wrong-headed promise to circumvent the current multilateral efforts by seeking direct US-Iran talks, excluding the Europeans as well as Russia and China.

Had Biden had his way, "the Evil Empire" would still be around and Saddam Hussein still in power. The US would still be begging the mullahs of Tehran for forgiveness of unspecified "past sins" - and more American hostages would be seized in the Middle East while the mullahs celebrate their first atomic bombs.

By choosing Biden, Obama, the candidate of hope, has transformed his promise of change, into a back-to-the-future pirouette - back to Jimmy Carter.

LOL. Did you personally ever believe he was "the candidate of hope?" Because you say it like you ever thought he was. This isn't analysis, this is condemning the man before he's ever sworn in. It's partisanship like this that I hope Obama really will stay above.

I've said it before: I'll criticize him when he deserves criticism, and I'll praise him when he deserves it. Obama's going to govern from the center, but that doesn't mean he's going to compromise on every single one of your pet issues, and the fact is that he IS a social liberal so you can expect to see that play a big part of his Presidency. But to condemn the man before he ever even takes office is just disingenuous.

Wow - that's pretty ridiculous.

"condemn" is a strong word.

I think it's fair to comment on what People "DO". No one needs to wait until a person is in office.

It's probably not fair to beat someone up for things he has yet done but choosing Biden is a done deal and certainly open for pot-shots.

No one waited for Palin to take office to "condemn" her.
