In this amazing political year, as the Left runs around the country proclaiming Sarah Palin to be unqualified to be Vice President and that John McCain used poor judgment in selecting her, Joe Biden hands the Democrats a huge problem. Barack Obama's choice for VP, Joe Biden said yesterday that Hillary might have been a better pick to be Obama's running mate. This calls into question Obama's judgment on several levels. One, it's not just Republicans saying this and it's not just any Democrat - it's the Democrat Obama chose to be his running mate! So for that reason alone we have to question Obama's judgment because Biden himself says maybe he wasn't the best choice. Second, we have to question Obama's judgment because he chose a running mate who would publicly question his judgment! In a year when conservative talk show hosts were salivating at the thought of a Biden pick, it can't be said that it was unknown that Biden often says damaging things. There's a reason he only got 9,000 votes this year. There's a reason why after two presidential runs he's never been the party's nominee. Obama had to have known about Biden's debilitating foot-in-mouth disease and despite it, he chose Biden anyway. What kind of judgment does that show? Biden said yesterday, "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be Vice President of the United States of America. Let's get that straight. She's a truly close personal friend. She is qualified to be president of the United States of America. She's easily qualified to be the vice president of the United States of America and quite frankly [she] might have been a better pick than me! But she's first rate." Click Here for audio.
