Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton speak about Barack Obama

Joe and Hillary continue to provide plenty of entertainment. We noted in our Latest Headlines section this: Biden: Obama’s inexperience will ignite “international crisis.” ABC News today posted these quotes from Barack Obama‘s running mate Joe “The Six Term Senator” Biden:

“Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking… 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.”

“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate.”
“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.”

“We’re gonna win with your help, God willing, we’re gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It’s like cleaning the Augean stables, man. This is more than just, this is more than – think about it, literally, think about it – this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just markets. This is a systemic problem we have with this economy.”

“I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I’m not being falsely humble with you. I think I can be value added…”

“I probably shouldn’t have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here.” Also, Hillary Clinton‘s campaign website is still alive and well. In fact, that financial crisis Joe “The Six Term Senator” mentioned above – well, here is some information you might find interesting:

FACT CHECK: Sen. Obama Accepts Over $1 Million From Subprime Lending Industry

The Obama campaign’s response to the comprehensive plan Hillary laid out to address the housing crisis today was not to discuss their disagreement with her proposal but to assert that Hillary has received contributions from subprime loan companies.

Considering that Sen. Obama has received $1.18 million from subprime lenders and has taken more campaign contributions from the top ten issuers of subprime loans, that attack rings hollow as just words. Sen. Obama has a record of talking about standing up to special interests and then caving to their demands. Hillary has a 35-year record of standing up to special interests and delivering results.
