Joe Biden: "Electing Obama Will Cause An International Crisis"

People looking for reasons NOT to elect Barack Obama as president need look no further than the words of his running mate Joe Biden.  Speaking to an audience at a Seattle fundraiser Biden is reported to have said:

“Mark my words, It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Great, just what we need, a lightning rod for crisis sitting in the Oval Office.

It’s not a surprise that Mccains blind followers take this piece out of context.

First of all, Biden never said that "Obama will CAUSE and international crisis" like Palin so deceptively has stated on CNN.

Second, the way Bidens words were to be taken is that the world already has several international Crisis. One being shortage in grains and food supply around the world, global warming, AIDS, "War on terror" (which is an oxy-moron because war is nothing but terror), current and ongoing wars that are causing many casualties and billions of dollars, globalization, commercialism (who do you think those billions of dollars are going to because of the wars, THE WEAPONS INDUSTRY), and materialism.

So obviously these are all serious international issues that are going to boil over into the next presidents' plate, no matter who gets elected.
