Obama tautes Biden's 35 years of experience: Is he acknowlaging his own shortcomings as a rookie?

Question

Joe Biden, as Obama's VP choice, is the quizesential Washington insider, a Dem that has hardly influences ANY changes during his LONG tenure in Congress!

Does this nulify Obama's message for change in Washington?

What say you?

Please opine if you have the time and please, keep it pithy and brief! Because this is the No Spinn Zone!

Answer 1

I always marveled at how O'Reilly calls his show the no-spin zone yet he is the king of spin.

Its a nice balance, having someone who can help him pass key legislation.  If Obama had picked someone who was an outsider, you would have been on here telling us that the ticket lacks experience.

Answer 2

Biden is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal that has pushed the anit-American, Big Government, high-taxes agenda for 35 years. There is nothing new about Biden, nor his politics-as-usual belief system.

He does have as much experience as a Senator and politician as McCain, and thus give the Obama campaign some small hint of those qualities most lacking in Obama.

But its the wrong kind of do-nothing, non-change experience that the Obama supporters aren't looking for, and Biden detracts from that message of undefined change.

Answer 3

I'm confused now...  I thought "experience" was the problem.. and now it's time for a change in America.  That we entrust ourselves to people with vision rather than doing things the old way that has gotten us to the mess that we're in now.

Answer 4

You're not even fit to be a corn in a t**d from Keith Olbermann, who, by the way, is right about you.

I love that Ted Baxter way he uses to mock you.

Answer 5

I see the only benefit Biden can bring to the 'Obama Joe Biden' ticket is his volatile temper and his well known ability to spew seemingly endless Rhetoric.

Answer 6

obama is correct experience counts.. that one reason he should not be president

Answer 7

the thing is, Biden is everything that Obama said he didn't want...
