Obama's VP Choice Joe Biden In Oct 2001: "We're (America's Military) This High-Tech Bully"--Senate's Walking Gaffe Maker

Welcome Hugh Hewitt Readers!

(BUMPING TO TOP FROM TUESDAY) Obama picks Biden as of this morning, Saturday 7:25 a.m. EDT

The buzz today, at least from Howard Fineman and others is that Delaware Senator Joe Biden is the leading choice for Barack Obama's running mate due to his "foreign policy background."

What background? Biden's history as an appeaser?

As our military was waging a battle against al-Queda and the Taliban in October 2001, Joe Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations he hoped the US air campaign wouldn't last much longer as it:

"plays into every stereotypical criticism of us is we're this high-tech bully that thinks from the air we can do whatever we want to do, and it builds the case for those who want to make the case against us that all we're doing is indiscriminately bombing innocents, which is not the truth. How much longer does the bombing continue? Because we're going to pay every single hour, every single day it continues, we're going to pay an escalating price in the Muslim world."

A little over one month after the worst attack on American soil and this pantywaist is more worried about what our enemies think of us than making sure they never have the ability to launch attacks on this nation again. It's a good thing Joe Biden wasn't around in April 1942. He'd probably call Jimmy Doolittle a "bully" for leading the first air raid against Japan, fearing the daring raid would inflame Imperial Japan even more. Tokyo Rose would have had an on-air companion.

Want more of Joe Biden, another in a long line of blame America first Democrats. Here he is on CSPAN in April of this year, saying we have "no credibility." Biden doesn't want to get tough with our enemies, but he sure does with the President, telling one voter how he'll shove a threatened veto "down his (the President's) throat." Finally, Biden takes profane exception with President Bush's (accurate) statement about those who appeased Hitler, while never once mentioning Obama or anyone else.

When he's not acting like a profane bully or a loudmouth, Biden does his best to show himself off as a genuine dumb ass. Here, Chris Wallace of FOX News Sunday asks him what he has in common with Southern voters.



Biden's answer? My state was a slave state. That's his way of warming up to the Southern voters he and other liberal Northeastern elitists look down upon as "hicks" and "rednecks."

Below, he tells a citizen about what to expect if you enter a 7/11 or Dunkin Donuts in Delaware



That's right up there with Biden's comments about his possible partner in the 08 race?

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

A walking gaffe machine and someone who takes potshots against the military in a time of war (I didn't mention the plagiarism incident).

If that's change America can believe in, I say once again, "keep the change!"
