I thought the reason Al Gore invented the internet was so that FDR could get on the horn and tell everyone about it. ; )

BO himself has a history problem.
He claimed that his uncle helped liberate Auschwitz and was traumatized forever. He never had an uncle in europe during WWII and Russia liberated Auschwitz, not the US.
He claimed that his parents met at the civil rights march in Selma and that tied him to the civil rights movement. BO was born before the Selma march.
Biden also recently talked of having his helicopter being forced down in the war zone. "If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me. Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down, with a three-star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are." Without being told, one would never know that it was weather, not enemies that caused the pilot to land. Biden never told.
It was a hair (plug) raising experience!
And then of course there is his legendary rant to a reporter that he has a high IQ, finished near the top of his law school class, has three undergrad degrees and went to school on an academic scholarship. I suspect the IQ claim, but the last three were not true. It can be found on youtube if you want to see his rant.
Remember when H. Clinton claimed she was under fire when her helicopter landed? Instead, video revealed that she was greeted by a little girl reading poetry.

Yeah but if Biden can spell potatoe that has to amount to something. ; )
Honestly though Biden totally underwhelmed me as a running mate. Even more than Quayle or Al Gore. :P

In the words of Admiral Ackbar, "Its a trap!"
I don't understand how BoBama could have possibly thought that Joe Biden was even a remotely good choice for a VP pick. Biden is just DESTROYING Obama's campaign with his gaffes. I still think it is a smoke screen, laid down to see who McCain's VP would be and trying to obfuscate an October surprise.

You just know that if Bush or Palin had said something like this, we'd be hearing about it 24/7 from our friends at CNN, MSNBC, etc.

Again, Mr. Obama, thank you so very, very much for inserting Joe "I have a high IQ" Biden in the sidecar. It was generosity, unparalleled.

And McCain can't even keep countries straight. He's been caught referring to nations that no longer exist.
So what have we done exactly? All I see is we've proven no one on either major party's ticket is perfect.

Some gaffes in the presure of the election are to be expected. But Joe is begining to make them routine. The gaffe in telling a handicaped man to stand up was pathetic. Now it seems if he doesn't know Barry's position on the use of clean burning coal and he says that Barry will not take his weapons from him.
The Messiah's selection of Biden and not even vetting Hillary reflects poorly on Barry's decision making skills. He says that he wants people around him not afraid to disagree with him; if this is true why did he at least consider her for the VP position?

Well here is one that is more than a gaffe. When asked about the Obama ad criticizing McCain for not knowing how to use email he responded:
Asked about the negative tone of the campaign, and this ad in particular, during an interview broadcast Monday by the "CBS Evening News," Obama's running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, said he disapproved of it.
"I thought that was terrible, by the way," Biden said.
Asked why it was done, he said: "I didn't know we did it and if I had anything to do with it, we'd have never done it."
Biden says ad mocking McCain is 'terrible'

So a mistake is just a mistake if a Republican makes it, but it's a "gaffe" an proof of unfitness if made by a Democrat even if the larger error or larger number of errors were made by the Republican? The hypocrisy from all sides is absurd.
I don't Biden having an opinion is a "mistake" either. He's the VP candidate on Obama's ticket, but he's still an individual and as such still has a right to an opinion. This might make him a "loose cannon", but I don't see how it can be counted as a mistake. Personally, I'd agree with Biden that the commercial under discussion (the one about McCain being out of touch because he couldn't do things like use computers) was at best dangerous and tasteless.
Calling Obama "Messiah"? Popular, sure. A bit of a personality, definitely - and a lot more so than the typical politician. But he's never claimed to be a religious figure, that's a claim and a name from his opposition. Personally, I find the nickname and its variants to be religiously offensive.

WRONG
Did he not say that when he was elected the seas would stop their rise and the planet would begining its healing? If that statement is not one of being a messiah what is one?

This was not a simple gaffe. It was an insight into his character. Plainly he's dishonest, mean and divisive. He was so intent on bashing GWB that no bit of honest restraint could be found, if he has any. So he just made a story up.

Woman (heh, I feel like Animal from the Muppets... "Woooomaaaaaan!"),
I appreciate your attempt to be a mediator, but (monkey) you are giving the Democrat ticket way too much credit.
Biden is a walking gaffe machine. I don't have time right now to give you a detailed list with links (maybe ljmac or TMeeks has one handy), but Biden doesn't just make a campaign trail mistake or two, he seriously steps in it. Biden's comedic goofs happen so frequently that any time a Biden audio clip gets played on Rush Limbaugh's radio program it is accompanied by a rim-shot. From his IQ rant to plagiarizing to repeatedly contradicting Obama's ads and stump speeches, it is amazing that he hasn't been fired already:
http://www.gop.com/news/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=66aaab7c-aa6d-4a10-af78-1b96532b191c
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=24833
And the "messiah" label coming from Republicans?!? Puh-lease! All we do is make fun of it. Now that the left sees how foolish they look for their messiah-worship, they try to deny it, but there is no escaping the truth. From the Obama murals to the mass faintings to the pseudo-presidential seal Obama started using (until the mockery of his ego began damaging his polling) to the "I am transformation" racial speeches, Obama worked hard to promote the messiah image and devlop his cult of personality.
Let's take a look at some of the liberal worship of the messiah:
Jesse Jackson Jr. on Obama: "What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history. ... The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.”
Bill Richardson on Obama: "the kind of once-in-a-lifetime leader that can bring our nation together and restore America's moral leadership in the world."
Chris Mathews on Obama: "My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often."
David Ehrenstein: "Obama the Magic Negro"
Daily Kos: "So let us have hope, the gods are on our side, and the Hero will prevail."
Nancy Pelosi: "A leader God has blessed us with at this time."
Der Spiegel: "Der messias-faktor"
Samantha Fennel, Elle associate publisher (before she quite her job to follow Obama): "fluffy chatter and frivolous praise are replaced by a get-to-the-point directness and disciple-like devotion. It’s intense and intoxicating... I was on my feet as Senator Obama entered the room. Fate had blessed me in this moment... in a moment of divine intervention, he saw me, clad in my red stop-sign of a dress, back-tracked ever so slightly in his procession, grabbed my hand, and gave that brilliant smile of his. I literally said out loud to the woman next to me who witnessed my good fate, "I’ll never wash this hand again.""
Spike Lee: "When that happens [Obama's election], it will change everything. ... You'll have to measure time by, "Before Obama" and, "After Obama". It's an exciting time to be alive now... Everything's going to be affected by this seismic change in the universe."
Micah Tillman (Philosophy lecture, The Catholic University of America): "Barack Obama is the Platonic philosopher king we’ve been looking for for the past 2,400 years.... Mr. Obama will fulfill the Platonic prophecies.... He won’t just heal our city-states and souls. He won’t just bring the Heavenly Kingdom — dreamt of in both Platonism and Christianity — to earth. He will heal the earth itself... Only a Christian Platonism could predict what Obama will do."
David Mendell (from Obama: From Promise to Power), quoting the Chicago Sun-Times: "Also, we just like to say his name. We are considering taking it as a mantra."
Mark Mortford (San Francisco Chronicle articel, "Is Obama an Enlightened Being?"): "Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul."

Ok, so there are obviously many (on both sides) who look more to politics and politicians for their hope (in the sense of their souls) and perhaps even their salvation than anyone ought. We still haven't established that Mr. Obma himself intended to be declared a religious figure or followed as one. As far as it goes, lots of people worship lots of odd things and people - and will worship people without the person's permission.
Most people I know who are voting for Obama simply like that he's campaigning on something other than fear, though that does presume that one overlooks a potential underlying fear of another Republican for President. Well, that and his speaking ability. I'm not personally convinced of his impromptu abilities in the least, but I will agree with friends that he is good at speeches.

JOE BIDEN WILL CLEAN SARAH PALIN'S CLOCK
This FDR on TV thing is just a brain fart. Of course Joe Biden KNOWS that it was McCain's role model--Herbert "Fundamentally Sound" Hoover--who was president in 1929 and that FDR spoke to the public via radio. I'm sure Joe had Bush on his mind, and how the W has hidden in the White House during this crisis and not made any effort to comfort the American people on TV. I'm sure Karl Rove has advised Bush to lay low--like he did during Katrina and every time one of those 4,000 coffins came back from Iraq--so that even the low-information undecideds don't see the obvious link between greedy, boneheaded Republican economic policy and the financial mess we have now. Even Mr. Deregulation himself, John McCain, is calling for the reinstitution of regulations on Wall Street. Next, McCain is going to insist that he has ALWAYS been a Democrat.
Biden's a smart guy; he's no imbecile like George W. Bush or John "5th from the Bottom of My Class" McCain. Unlike Sarah Palin, who has been giving the same speech for 3 weeks, Biden can get up and talk without a script because he understands the lower 48 and the rest of the world outside of Alaska. Rove's bunch won't let reporters ask Palin any questions for fear that she will open her mouth and remove all doubt about her complete unreadiness to lead the free world. Unlike Palin, Joe Biden doesn't need to have a team of tutors teaching him the Bush-McCain perspective on international relations, economics, or the myriad of other inconvenient issues facing the nation.
It's one thing to say something silly about events 80 years ago and quite another to be in cahoots with Phil Gramm in REPEATING HISTORY by repealing the financial regulations instituted by FDR to prevent what is happening now on Wall Street. Even more damnable, McCain's hit parade of stupid comments involve CURRENT events. And they aren't limited to his self-admitted weakness, economics. McCain's flubs involve foreign affairs and the U.S. military! Without Joe Lieberman by his side to whisper the correct answers in his ear, McCain went out the next day and repeated the very same nonsense about Iranians training Al Kaida. You can excuse McCain's dozens of blunders to "senior moments," poor short-term memory, carelessness with facts, dishonesty, or even conclude that he has always been this "intellectually lazy." But anyone who thinks Palin makes up for McCain's incompetence and poor judgment is in a state of denial.
The debates will clearly expose who's the magna cum laude Harvard Law grad and who nearly flunked out of the naval academy. They'll also reveal who's been dealing with our nation's economic issues for over 25 years and who got a D in Economics 101 at a community college. Gee, who do I want to lead our country??? Let's go with the stupid guy (and gal) again, since we all know how well that has turned out!
If, like McCain, you aren't much of a reader, just watch this video of McCain on the stump and be very afraid.

Looks like you took Obama's speech about getting in people's face seriously. Even adopted a screen name for the cause. Welcome to CW.

That's probably the most innocent of them all. IIRC, he hadn't met the guy before that, but was just reading names. He certainly handled it well once he realized what was going on.

During the last election it was common for democrat operatives to call into talk shows etc and claim to be ex-republicans supporting the democrat candidate.
I guess old habits die hard.

Exactly, John_O. Seminar callers are now seminar posters. We had a good flux of them for awhile, and will probably see their numbers go up a little again over the next few weeks. Then there are those semi-regular members who got suspended or banned. I have my suspicions concerning a few brand new usernames with very similar posting methods and idiosyncrasies.
Anyhow, in response to the claim, "Biden will clean Palin's clock", it might be true. After he gets laughed out of he VP spot, he may take up a new job cleaning timepieces. Perhaps he will get a gig at the Whitehouse.
Seriously though, I don't know how you can still think that Palin is "being hid" from the media blah blah blah. If you watched her handle Charlie Gibson (and read the unedited transcript), and watched her previous debates, and watched her hour interview with Hannity, and watched any of her pre-VP speeches, and watched her in front of 60,000 people... you will know that she ain't no slouch when it comes to communicating and knowing her material. The more you let her speak, the better she looks.
Quite the opposite for Joe "High-IQ" Biden. He really really loves to hear himself speak, but the problem is that when he stats rambling he says sillier and sillier things. If Palin can keep her answers succinct and short during the debates and just let Biden babel on and on, he will lose quite handily. He likes to bully people, but the American people (well, except the liberal media and Hollywood) don't like to see a guy bully around a girl, so Biden is going to be walking on eggshells.

I don't understand how BoBama could have possibly thought that Joe Biden was even a remotely good choice for a VP pick. Biden is just DESTROYING Obama's campaign with his gaffes.
...This FDR on TV thing is just a brain fart. Of course Joe Biden KNOWS that it was McCain's role model--Herbert "Fundamentally Sound" Hoover--who was president in 1929 and that FDR spoke to the public via radio. ...I'm sure Karl Rove has advised Bush to lay low--like he did during Katrina and every time one of those 4,000 coffins came back from Iraq--so that even the low-information undecideds don't see the obvious link between greedy, boneheaded Republican economic policy and the financial mess we have now. Even Mr. Deregulation himself, John McCain, is calling for the reinstitution of regulations on Wall Street. Next, McCain is going to insist that he has ALWAYS been a Democrat.
Biden's a smart guy; ...
...
The debates will clearly expose who's the magna cum laude Harvard Law grad and who nearly flunked out of the naval academy.... Let's go with the stupid guy (and gal) again, since we all know how well that has turned out!
If, like McCain, you aren't much of a reader, just watch this video of McCain on the stump and be very afraid.
Ex GOP? Come on, be honest. Besides the childish comments, you really gave yourself away when you called war hero John McCain, "Mr. Deregulation." His penchant for regulation has been one of his greatest weaknesses. Does McCain-Feingold ring a bell?
