Can't take chance that Obama will fail

Joe Biden just got it right! The vice presidential candidate for the Democratic Party just clearly outlined the greatest risk to the United States of America if Barack Obama is elected president. Joe promised that some enemy of America will threaten the USA within six months of Obama's election to "test this young and inexperienced new leader just as Kennedy was tested during the Cuban Missile Crisis." In addition, Joe said that the American people will be disappointed in Obama's initial response.

Joe is precisely right. Nikita Khrushchev said that he chose to put missiles in Cuba because of President Kennedy's youth and inexperience. For those of us that lived through it, we remember that almost led to global thermo nuclear warfare and the end of humanity. And he is right about the country not liking Obama's response because his response will be wrong just like Obama was wrong about the surge, just like he was wrong about Russia invading Georgia and just like he is wrong to negotiate with terrorist nations like Iran.

Considering that Sen. Biden has attended the highest level security meetings now that he is a VP candidate, we should assume that he knows what he is taking about and we should be very afraid. The Iranian terrorists did not test Ronald Reagan and they returned the U.S. hostages right when he came in to office because they knew what he would do to them.

Nobody will test John McCain because they know what he will do as well. Given Obama's recent admission that he is a socialist that wants to "spread our wealth around" by taking from those that earn their money and give it to those that don't, and now the very real risk that we may face an attack of some kind because of Obama's lack of experience and weak position on national defense, what rational adult can possibly vote for Barack Obama?
