So Barack Obama picks Joseph Biden for his campaign ticket. Where is the change? Biden is so shopworn, he’s been around for sooooo looong, he’s the bridesmaid who never caught the bouquet.
Two non-entities. Let me remind the reader – if it was Hillary Clinton she would at this point be pulverizing McCain by 20 points!
If Obama were really serious about a new approach to politics he would have gone for a VP who was really different. My choice would have been A-Rod, or Jerry Manuel, whose leadership ability managing the heretofore indifferent Mets into a solid first-place team ought to be enough to propel him into national prominence. At the very least, Obama could have gone for New York Mayor Bloomberg, but Bloomberg would never put up with Obama’s nonsense. You don’t go to work for somebody who knows less than you do.
Haven’t we had enough of letting lawyers, who are trained to lie and stall as part of their professional formation, run our lives? We need to get away from electing these stooges, and encourage people who really know something to represent our interests.
Obama is unfortunately a dork, not fit to stand on the same podium as Jerry Manuel. He is a hot-air balloon that does not fly. Obama is a Dream Team – for the Republicans. He has got so many weak points that it’s impossible to decide where to start picking on him.
For myself, it’s enough that he called the Clintons racists and liars, parroting the Republicans’ line verbatim. Obama wrote a best-selling autobiography. He recounts going to high school, going to college, becoming an attorney, getting elected to the Illinois legislature. I would be ashamed to release a book like that as a political document. It shows him to be a complete non-event. Whom should we compare him to? De Gaulle?Churchill? Don’t make me laugh. Even Mel Brooks has a more compelling biography.
Hillary Clinton caved in too soon. She still has a chance to redeem herself. She has already insisted on having her name put up for a floor vote at the convention. She could further complicate things by insisting that the whole convention vote on seating the full Michigan and Florida delegations. After witnessing Obama’s so-far totally ineffectual performance as a candidate, wherein his campaign has spent all its time reacting to Republicans’ daily attacks as “despicable” instead of fighting them toe-to-toe, the Democratic Party might decide it’s time for yet another “change” before it’s too late.
