Biden guarantees Obama will be tested by a crisis

Did you hear Joe Biden today?

“Mark my words...watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. 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. 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."

That is exactly what I am afraid of folks. These are tough times we are entering. And when you cast a vote, you better be sure as hell you are placing your confidence and your future in the right hands.

Joe went on to say “Mark my words, quoting, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John F. Kennedy.”

We all know what that was. The Cuban Missile Crisis. Anyone who was alive during that time would tell you how frightening those times were. The big line here is “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John F. Kennedy”

Let’s be honest. Times are tough. We as a nation have lived way beyond our means for decades lead by our government who has been a borrow and spend government. Our national debt is outrageous. We are fighting two wars. We have a housing crisis. We have a financial crisis. It wouldn’t take much to have a real energy crisis. And we are only at the tip of the iceberg I believe. It is the perfect storm on the horizon.

Joe Biden’s words do not shock me and regardless of who is right, there is a good chance the next president will have a crisis on his hands. And if elected, Joe Biden is right. Obama’s mentality and strength as a leader will be tested by fire. Joe Biden hypothetically spoke of 4 or 5 scenarios which could be in play. Joe Biden has promised that Obama’s response will not be popular and has asked the American people to commit to standing by him.

Is America ready to make such a promise to this youthful Senator? Here is the fun part. He mentioned that conflicts with Russian or in the Middle East could be one scenario.

So let’s outline a few possibilities.

1). Iran: they attack Israel and/or launch a nuclear missile. Barack either does nothing (very disconcerting and Americans cower in fear) or Barack fires back (imagine all the anti-war Pro-Obammunists). Either one of those options would be costly and very unpopular.

2). Russia attacks (again) beginning a soviet resurrection and Obama gets pushed around by Putin like a wheelbarrow.

3). Israel pulls a pre-emptive strike on Iran and Barack condemns Israel and stands by while countries go to war with Israel (very unpopular).

4). Iran runs a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz and oil no longer goes out. Talk about an energy crisis. If you think $5.00 a gallon gas is bad, you haven’t seen nothing yet. Barack Obama sees this as the perfect opportunity to do nothing and become energy independent overnight, rather than over a 10 year period. That would be very unpopular (and lead to an epic collapse of Western civilization), because you know Americans hate nothing more than filling up their gas tank, especially if it means cutting back on Starbucks drinks.

5). One world currency? No I am not a left behind pre-millennialist. But countries are starting to call for it. Russia is. China is. France is.

6). Maybe just the president who presides over the melt-down of Western Civilization. Great…

Biden suddenly changed his tune. Gone were the words of hope and change.

Quote: “I guarantee you, you are going to be saying, oh, my God, why are they there in the polls. I guarantee you, you are going to be saying, oh, my God, why are they there in the polls, We're going to need your influence because the little people will disagree with it,…”

The media is obligated to press Obama on this enormous claim. Biden opened a can of worms that needed to be opened. Hard times are coming and the president will make very unpopular decisions, we have been promised this. This could be the real change that comes to America and Biden doesn’t seem to paint to hopeful of a picture.

Are you ready to answer Biden’s call and promise to support Obama no matter how unpopular of a decision he makes and how it affects us? Are you ready to watch his poll numbers drop lower than Bush’s and still stand by him? Because that is exactly what Biden is asking the Obammunists to do.
