A World Crisis of Choice Looms for the US

Someone should tell Joe Biden, "It's the economy, stupid!" But stupid Joe, God bless him, decides he has just got to change the subject from "market meltdown" to "World attacks US when Barry takes over!" This from ABC News:
“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.”

“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning 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.”

No Kidding. But what if our judgment tells us you're really wrong? At that point, ain't it patriotic to work with all our heart and all our soul to undermine the policy? You know, like Barack Obama and the war in Iraq. Slow Joe goes on:
"There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, 'Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don't know about that decision'," Biden continued. "Because if you think the decision is sound when they're made, which I believe you will when they're made, they're not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not sound."

Kinda like the surge in Iraq after the unsound Dem's declared the war there lost.

To sum up what Obama's foreign policy expert said, if America chooses the young and inexperienced Sen. Obama, America will choose a major crisis with potential dire consequences for the nation and the world. Interestingly, Joe isn't asking for patience and support during this anticipated "crisis of choice" from the American people at large -- he's taking that for granted. No, he's asking for support from Obama's own supporters, who worked so hard to undermine the Iraq war. And, given the record, why wouldn't he doubt support would be forthcoming or long lasting?

So according to his future VP, a year from now President Obama could well be trying to Spread the Wealth and fight a World War while his own party abandons him and he has to join the Republicans. Or President Obama could simply capitulate. And Joe Biden can watch it all and say "told ya."

Isn't the better choice not the choose this "Crisis of Choice" in the first place? Why not simply vote for John McCain?

UPDATE: Is Joe stupid like a fox? A different take.
