OK. Barack Obama named Joe Biden as his VP. Let's look at a small portion of the record. Joe Biden is the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He was opposed to the troop surge that has given us victory in Iraq. "I totally oppose the surging of additional troops into Baghdad, and I think it is contrary to the overwhelming body of informed opinion, both people inside the administration and outside the administration," Biden told reporters Tuesday. He said he plans to hold hearings for his panel next month in a bid to influence the president's decision. This quote is from a Washington Post article on December 27, 2006.
When I mentioned the choice of Biden for VP to one of my houseguests this weekend, she commented that he was on the ticket so that Obama would not have to get his hands dirty in the campaign. Watch for some nasty attacks on John McCain coming from Joe Biden with Obama saying "it wasn't me--you'll have to talk to the VP candidate about that remark".
There are some other pretty high negatives for Joe Biden, but I will post more after I do some homework!!!
