Is Obam's selection of Biden for Vp an outright admission that he does not have?

Question

the necessary experience to be President?

Answer 1

Biden is not Change in washington, that's for sure.

Answer 2

It shows he has a clear understanding of what this country requires in leadership.

Answer 3

Not at all - it shows a good beginning for the next administration!   It also shows once elected, the next administration will be manned by the best!

Answer 4

Nope.  It was a good pick, just admit it.

Answer 5

No. He is combining the best and smartest team ever.

Answer 6

It shows he doesn't hold grudges.

Answer 7

I'm not supporting anyone in this election, so now that I got that out of the way I can answer. For those of you that think this question is ridiculous, think about the facts for a second. Joe Biden is well known, but his state does not bring in the votes. Biden is known for sticking his foot in his mouth. Biden brings experience to the campaign and that's it. But the experience Biden brings, opposes many of Obama's core views.  Obama just looks desperate to look like he is experienced.

Answer 8

No.

It shows that Obama will surround himself with winners! Unlike loser Bush.

Answer 9

No. It is an honest choice. Obama is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Face it, cons would whine regardless of who he picked.

Answer 10

No. It means he has the self-confidence to pick someone with more experience to work for him.

Unless you think that if McCain picks someone younger than himself to be VP, that must be an admission that he is too old.

Answer 11

His selection of Joe, regardless if it was because he figured he should get someone with a little experience, was a great one.

This ticket is undeniable.

Answer 12

No, it shows good judgement.

Answer 13

it is an admission that he is braindead

Wasnt it Obama that claimed the problem with DC was " washington insiders"?

It doesnt get much more " insider" than Joe Biden

Answer 14

yes. Biden is also God's gift to McCain.

Answer 15

When JFK chose Lyndon Johnson as his Vice President in 1964, people asked the same question.

Who won that election?  Please remind me.

Answer 16

No, not really.  It shows careful thinking and planning.

Picking the proper personnel to strengthen ones overall position is a wise strategy.  Given that being President requires much clear-thinking and decisions, I'd say he has started off on the right foot.

Answer 17

Everybody knows that Obama would be a ridiculous choice for President

he is too wet behind the ears for starters

and he does not posess the intellectual capability for the job anyway

Answer 18

No, and why would one think that?

Answer 19

No, it shows he has superior intelligence. You don't have to be the smartest person in the free world to lead the free world. You just have to be smart enough to surround yourself with smart people to work w/.

Answer 20

Biden has already admitted that on behalf of Obama. Biden said Obama was not ready to be President, as "the presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training." Biden followed that up by saying, "I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off."
