Biden Obama News

During the primaries Joe Biden said,
"Obama lacks the experience to be President."
"The Presidency is not something that lent itself to on-the-job training.
"The country would be better off with McCain."

In just the last primary alone, Biden's wild mouth managed to run him afoul of Indians, 7-Eleven clerks and African-Americans.

"You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking," he said with a C-SPAN camera just inches from his unbridled mouth.

Just a few months after apologizing his way out of that one, he "complimented" Obama and at the same time revealed a comically cliched and antiquated take on race in America.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," he enthused. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

To be sure, Obama called Biden out for disrespecting previous black candidates for the American presidency, but he didn't let it bog him down.

Obama also chooses a running mate who fills the Illinois senator's deep vacancies with regard to foreign policy and experience in dealing with Washington.

There also are obvious drawbacks to picking Biden.
The veteran Delaware Senator detracts from the Obama ticket's image as an outside-the-Beltway agent of change. And he's very likely to draw deep criticism from Democratic voters who are against the war in Iraq above all else.

Biden voted for the war, but has since become a strident critic of it. There are those voters who will never forgive Biden for approving the war anymore than they would forgive President Bush or former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Also, Biden does not put on the table a state that Obama is in danger of losing in November. Delaware will almost certainly vote for the Democratic ticket either way.

And with Biden comes the very real risk that his loose lips around reporters will render all sorts of new gaffes and scandals in the coming months that will swamp the Obama campaign's message.

For Biden's part, he has in recent days promised that he will harness his mouth and not speak out of line.
