First, Collin Powell endorsed Obama this past Sunday. And Obama thinks he is a great guy now. Up until Saturday, Powell was another Bush to Obama. Powell! This is the very man who played a very big role in America's decision to invade Iraq. Bush depended on him. Bush listened to him. Bush hung on to his every word more than the United Nations.
Why did Powell take his time to endorse Obama? Why didn't he show his excitement and say that Obama is the one from the very begining if he believed that Obama really is the one? Why now? Why two weeks before the general election? Obama thinks it is ok for Powell, Hillary, Biden and the others including Collin Powell to support the war but not John McCain. This is disturbing and confusing. And this is the reason why Americans will not elect Obama in November. Screw the polls. This is about race. This is about Obama's blackness.
And, since Joe Biden is asking for it, China will be the first country to supply the first crisis to Obama if he was elected president.
This is an issue on everyone's mind -- Powell's endorsement is about race. And Obama is the wrong candidate to be tested in this dangerous time. If it is true about what Joe Biden said this weekend that Obama’s total lack of foreign-policy experience will definitely provoke America’s enemies into creating an international crisis. This is not terrific if you asked me.
It is guaranteed that if elected, Obama will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.
Joe Biden said:
“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers 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.”
We can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate -- the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. 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.
Of course, as we adults know, isn't this just an argument for electing someone with more experience? Why should we elect a man who will embolden our enemies and push us to the brink of disaster?
Even Biden himself seems convinced that electing John McCain will make our enemies abroad much less sanguine about provoking us — which is one of the best arguments yet heard for electing McCain.
Even worse, Biden admits that an Obama administration will likely fumble the ball. “It’s not going to be apparent that we’re right.”
Really? Why not? I’d say that Biden admits that Obama will deviate from long-held principles of American foreign policy and diplomacy, and expects to reap a whirlwind of disapproval because of that. Where will that be most likely to occur, given Obama’s previous political alliances with people like Rashid Khalidi?
Let’s not forget the example that Biden himself uses here. John Kennedy got tested because he met with Nikita Khrushchev with “no preconditions”. Kennedy acknowledged afterwards that it was an “unmitigated disaster“.
But the point is this: Obama is not ready. He is definitely not as ready as Hillary Clinton or Howard Dean or John McCain. And that is the reality. God bless his heart...but no amount of "blackness" in him and his eloquence can prepare him to be the next president of the United States. As Hillary, Bill, and the rest of the top Democratic Party leaders have all recently said, (and they were dead serious) especially Joe Biden, that Obama was NOT ready to be Commander-in-Chief. The worst --they have all closed their eyes on his lack of experience. They instead are now focusing on killing Sarah Palin and saying John McCain is the one not ready to be Commander-in-Chief because he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. It is obvious Sarah Palin is a threat to the Democratic Party. She is smart, she is a reformer and she is an outsider. She has some serious executive experience. She is not perfect. Far from perfect. But who is?
