Biden’s ‘prophecy’ doesn’t bode well for Obama or U.S.

Can anyone honestly hear or read the following words from Joe Biden and not be absolutely terrified at the idea of an Obama presidency?

Biden at a Seattle fundraiser this month, said, “Mark my words, 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.”

Does anyone out there remember how the world tested John Kennedy? Does the Cuban Missile Crisis ring a bell? There was more to Biden’s speech, and it was very, very frightening.

Now, if you have an option to vote for a man who has shown his “mettle,” over and over, and is not likely to be “tested” because he is known to be tough on national security, why would you even want to take a chance on Biden being right?

You should understand that a vote for Obama is a decision to put us all in an incredibly dangerous situation (way more so than the one we are presently in) so that a young, ambitious, incredibly inexperienced politician can be educated in the ways of the real world with on-the-job training.

Think about what is going on in the world today, how many people are just licking their chops at the thought of having a chance to “test the mettle” of Obama. Russia, Iran … do we want to find out firsthand what they have in mind? If you want a more secure US, don’t take my word for it — take the word of the Democratic VP candidate, and vote for John McCain.
