Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has named Joe Biden as his running mate, despite the veteran politician once admitting that Obama was ‘not yet ready for the presidency’.
Mr Biden, 65, is known for being talkative and is prone to making statements which get him in to trouble.
Last year he said Mr Obama was “not yet ready” for the presidency, a remark which will now be seized upon by the Republican attack machine ahead of the general election on November 4.
Even before Mr Obama confirmed his selection this morning, McCain campaign spokesman Ben Porritt said: ‘There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama’s lack of experience than Joe Biden.
article continues below
‘Biden has denounced Barack Obama’s poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realising – that Barack Obama is not ready to be president.’
Mr Biden, who chairs the US Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee has 30 years experience and will help challenge the frequent criticism that his campaign lacks foreign policy experience.
Mr Obama’s choice of the Delaware senator as his vice presidential nominee was officially confirmed by a text message to supporters this morning as his campaign continues to embrace technology to garner support.

Ha! text messaged the VP nominee. Is this an MTV generation election or what? Next they will take requests on what song they want to back them-like Hanna Montana or Akon. These guys cannot be trusted, liked, or respected by any means until the truth has been told. But not one of them will ever speak these truths because before they utter any word to anyone their throats will be slashed in the dead of the night. They stick with the plan, follow the program, and live to see another treacherous day. For some crazy reason, these guys think that their children and grandchildren will be safe from the N.W.O. but they will be drinking the same fluoridated water, taking the same cancerous vaccines, and breathing in the same tainted air as the rest of us.
They will die a martyr’s death under a tyrant’s name. No matter who wins, we’re all in a great deal of danger–more wars, state sponsored terrorism, and the suspension of rightful liberties await us. Time to make a difference and even out the odds!

Here is a speculative prediction.
1) Obama’s VP choice sends his credibility tumbling
2) McCain is so hate that no real votes go his way
Everyone is so upset with candidate options and something crazy in the middle east and Bush pushes for full control. People are so fed up with both candidates that support for bush to stay in office is widespread.
the problem with the alternates is there are to many with none having total support. Nadder, Barr and Baldwin should just combine forces somehow and give these other two a run for their money
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:39 am
Wow. What an idiot! No one likes Biden. That is not a good strategic move on his part. He may as well have choose Ted Kennedy. Dumb move!
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:57 am
Prediction: take up another profession…predictions isn’t your line of work.
No one is going to push for Bush to stay in office, in prison maybe but not office. If anything Bush, because he knows once he gives up the control of information…ie through the courts and media, cia, fbi…etc. the lies will begin to come out…then, his goose is cooked. So, I would more expect him to produce another false flag attack on the American people so he can make himself dictator for life. Remember, think of Hitler….he ran with the ball until he killed himself. Hitler is the model here…this is nazi style national socialism all over again by people who thought Hitler was a great guy…ie, the Bushes.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:18 am
The real candidate for change was RON PAUL. But of course, the American people are too stupid to recognize a good thing, even if it staring them in the face.
The choices in this election are:
1.) A social radical who scares even people of his own color, who has no idea what he is doing
or
2.) A continuation of the Bush ideaology
Either choice presents us with one surety: less freedom, more inflation, more war, more business as usual.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:36 am
After winning the election, Obama will be “triangulated,” then we’ll have a jewish fellah for prez. AIPAC and Israel will no long guide policy from the shadows, they will then be able to do it openly from the West Wing of the White House, no more beatin’ around the bush, (no pun intended) the U.S. will then become the official slave state of Israel.
How quaint! Kinda brings a tear to your eye. I think I’ll go have a bagel now and go read some more from Mao’s Little Red Book to make ready the coming New Communist Revolution.
August 23rd, 2008 at 8:37 am
Biden has always been an idiot. Remember the Watergate hearings? prob. the highlight of his existence. Proved he was an idiot. Caught in plagury during one presi. attempt, but had the gall to stay in Senate, anyway. If one had given Obama the benefit of doubt re judgment, this proves he has none – to the point of danger. What a team!
August 23rd, 2008 at 8:57 am
THIS IS SO OBVIOUS. OBAMA PICKS A CANDIDATE THAT IS SO SELF DESTRUCTIVE THAT HE STARTS DROPPING IN THE POLLS. OBAMA IS READY
TO TAKE THE FALL SO MCCAIN BECOME PRESIDENT. THIS IS TYPICAL
NEW WORLD ORDER. IT IS TIME FOR PUPPET TO TAKE ONE FOR THE MASTER.
August 23rd, 2008 at 9:42 am
To Ted:
It’s similar to the Mob paying off a boxer to “take a dive.”
The fix is in, folks. Here we go…
August 23rd, 2008 at 9:56 am
Obama is a small punk Mc Cain is a small punk the USA is filled with gay lovers and will be sent to hellfire Zombies to busy watching tv will follow into hell… Jesus will bring his sword America and others will be in the past very much forgotten
August 23rd, 2008 at 10:43 am
The sad thing is that the american’s vote does not even matter anymore…
August 23rd, 2008 at 11:15 am
!!!!!!!!Alert!!!!!! Alert!!!!!!!!! Alert!!!!!!!!!!
Federal Lawsuit filed challenging Obama’s citizenship
We are in the midst of a full out quandary of challenges that will more than likely cancel the election The layers of the onion may be peeled away so that full disclosure is a real possibility Thank God were waking up

He who counts the votes rules, not who casts them.
August 23rd, 2008 at 11:56 am
Hey BIDEN! If you become V.P. guess what. You will have to learn “on the job”. Watch what you say about good people like OBama, it might just come back and bite you in the butt.
August 23rd, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Wow, Obongo and Joe, what a team. Oh well, 4 more years of Reps coming right up.
Not that i’d vote for McCain or Obongo, both are insane…
August 23rd, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Biden is (slightly) better than that neo-con Bayh, however Joey-boy votes in favor of the Iraq war every chance he gets (then talks critically about it to grinning, blow-dried media goons.) He spent over 30 years in the Senate doing ‘jack.’ The real problem is that he is positioned now to possibly become a do-nothing president someday. It will take an unquestionable landslide to elect Obama, because the neo-cons control the buttons on those nasty Diebold machines–it just ‘looks like’ you’re voting. I noticed that the MSM televison stooges killed Biden’s acceptance speech the instant he started critizing Juan McCain.
August 23rd, 2008 at 2:24 pm
You guys are bunch of fucking loons!
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Translation:
Gaffe-prone means that this guy is an excellent actor, much in the same vein as Eisenhower, LBJ, Clinton and both Bushes. The sweet talk of an assailant allows them to get closer in order to to drive the knife deeper.
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Dick Cheney and Joe Biden are CFR twins. Obama could have picked Dick Cheney. He practically did.
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Is it even possible to get a candidate without ties to the CFR, Trilateral Group, or without the blessing of the Bilderbergers? It appears not!
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:51 pm
So tiring, could we please skip the racial slurs. I don’t agree with Obama, but there’s no reason to use derogatory nick names (i.e. “Obongo”). There are many American’s whose parents were born abroad — so what. Lay off the colonialist attitude, please. Thanks.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:10 pm
This is the year that will get the third party ball rolling.Too many people are fed up with the two party one action system.
Please vote third party to save our Republic!
Baldwin, Barr, Nader, McKinney…Lets take back our voting system, NOW!
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:27 pm
The smart move would be to combine the fractured “third party” candidates and have them all conceded to one for the presidential candidate – and then make a big media blitz by combining their funds.
That won’t happen, because the third parties are like franchises and people make a living off working there and they want to keep those jobs. So the third party vote will be diluted and one of the 2 party puppets will once again be selected.
This is all assuming we have a vote that actually is counted.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:41 pm
well, israel has long been trying to get a front man into the white house. They tried before with Libermann, and now it seems they finally will get one with Biden, even though he is roman catholic. Israeli lobbyist are really good.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Biden is a Zionist
August 23rd, 2008 at 8:28 pm
RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!!!
August 23rd, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Now – Don’t go too crazy here, but I think Biden is not such a bad choice for Obama. I, myself, will vote for Barr, but I think Obama could have done a lot worse than Biden.
August 23rd, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Well Biden is that bitter fool who held a Southern secessionist magazine up in Congress & called it a “neo-Confederate rag”. Biden’s explosive temper almost rivals John McCain. News flash to Biden: modern day Southern secessionists do not consider themselves “neo” Confederates – but anything with threatens his mega State is attacked just on principle or rather lack thereof.
August 24th, 2008 at 12:02 am
Wasn’t Obama nominated because he was the Candidate for Change? This now seems like a ‘little kid’ contest and Obama now looks like a weak puppet of the old guard. He folded like a wet noodle. So yeah, maybe he isn’t ready to be President. Talk about proving the other side’s case! McCain’s camp didn’t even need to say anything. Write in Ron Paul!

We currently have an idiot in the White House who was never ready to be President. Omaba is a breath of fresh air compared to the sorry excuse for a leader that has ruined everything in the last eight years. God help us if Mclame wins the election. He’s a prick disguised as a dick.
August 24th, 2008 at 1:04 am
Write in Ralph Nader and do the world a favour.
You can actually vote for him and guess what – he is an honest man.
Get that word ‘honest’! It might be beyond the average Americans IQ level judging by the way they chose McCain/Obama.
At least he won’t plunge us all into nuclear winter.
Mind you Al Gore would excuse the Americans doing just that as an act against global warming and the brainless couch potatoes would accept the lot and reach for more beer.
August 24th, 2008 at 4:23 am
Obama is just another New World Order prick

The only presidential candidate standing up for 9-11 truth and would never diss the 9-11 truth movement in public like ron paul
August 24th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Im in complete agreement. He folded like a bad hand of poker. Write in Ron Paul. He was the best bet since early on anyway. Its the only way to vote in conscience. Otherwise I just wont even bother any more……
August 24th, 2008 at 9:23 am
I just did a blog post about Biden after hearing the BBC describe him as ‘a liberal’. That is, a man who supported the Patriot act, both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and authored a law creating several new capital offences.

Perfectly Put–I thinc that not many here get it. They are stuck in the,”needing someone to represent them mindset”, and don’t realize that it is the SYSTEM which enslaves them(essentially self-induced slavery). It is the same one they rally around and fully fund through taxes, and now suggest another party(they do not get it man). Save your breath and expect resistance, from those who fund their own demise.
stay dangerous

@ECTOENDOMEZO
I agree with your premise, however, all who work have taxes taken out. The only way to avoid that is to not work. I had to pay last year because of inheritance, but normally I would be getting returned income. It’s slowly dwindled do to my kids getting older but nevertheless.
I do agree making a stand is necessary at this point, and has never had a more imediate need, but I can’t see how not filing will help in the scenario I described and has many others in that scenario.
I believe though that a ballot should exist for “None of the Above”. It worked for Richard Pryor in Brewsters millions. Write it in and it will send a message that the public is turned off by the status quo and we want change for real. From the top down. We want accountability from this administration of criminals and allow no more to hold office in any copacity
