Obama Test

"Mark my words," said Joe Biden at a Seattle fundraiser on 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…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."

Rush Limbaugh had a field day with Joe Biden today, to the point of even having former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani on for a segment to talk about it. A number of theories as to why on earth Senator Biden would bring this kind of thing up now have already been batted around. I have a different theory than those put forth by others.

Every President is tested, not just John Kennedy. The Obama campaign has already decided that they won the election and are already prepping for their up coming administration. They know that George W. Bush passed the test of 9-11, even if they won’t admit it. They also know that William J. Clinton did not pass the tests of his administration. The Obama camp cannot have their administration ruined by terrorist attack after terrorist attack like occurred during the Clinton administration. Such occurrences would ruin the Obama claim that he is the great unifier. So, they have to adopt the policies of George W. Bush in order to make sure they don’t suffer the same fate as Clinton.

The problem is the Democrats have spent the last 8 years convincing the press and American people that Bush’s policies are wrong! Biden is starting to prepare for the time when Obama is tested and he reacts like Bush with military force.
