First gaffe of Obama-Biden ‘08: “Let me introduce to you the next president…”

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 23, 2008 03:23 PM

Obama gets to the climax of his introduction of Biden and says…

“Let me introduce to you, the next president — vice president — of the United States…”

Snort…

Not ready for prime time.

From the McCain camp:

“Barack Obama sounded as though he turned over the top spot on the ticket today to his new mentor, when he introduced Joe Biden as the next president. The reality is that nothing has changed since Joe Biden first made his assessment that Barack Obama is not ready to lead. He wasn’t ready then and he isn’t ready now.”

***

Biden jokes about McCain’s “seven kitchen tables.”

Hey, good luck on that 57-state campaign trail, Joe.

Biden: When you look at how Obama handles challenges, “you learn a lot about the strength of his mind.”

Snort.

Biden accuses McCain of “yielding to Swift Boat politics.”

3:38pm Eastern. The Mouth is still going…This may be our last chance…to restore America’s soul!

Biden ends, finally: “God bless America and may he protect our troops.”

With Obama-Biden in office, they’ll need all the blessings they can get.

    The Clinton’s will do everything they can to take down Obama. It just won’t be overt. Regardless, Obama needs to be taken down because he’ll screw this country into the ground.

    Yikes, saved by the Clintons? We are living in interesting times.

    It’s kinda like the One Ring being destroyed through Gollum…

    I guess we now know how the decision came across.

    “All right Big O. I’ll be your Vice President. But you take orders from ME…not the other way around. Besides, it’s not like you know what the hell it is you’re doing anyway.”

    Pressure got to The Golden Calf and the truth willed out.

    wow….NOT WOW, I mean Czarbie, as a guy named Snooper calls Obama, is “all fluff and no stuff”. I was inspired by czarbie to call my blogtalk radio show “the 57th state, where all liberals are in museums, where mothers take their kids there and say, ’see, if you don’t eat your meat and veggies, you might end up like THIS’”.

    It could have been worse, he could have mixed up sunni and shiite and said Iran was sending weapons into Iraq.

    Gonna have to agree with that one… Why is everyone getting worked up about trivial gaffes when McCain is misspeaking about much more important matters.

    Once the conventions are over and out of the way, McCain would be smart to come out “blasting” against Obama and his slip-ups. It’s obvious Obama can’t speak without a written speech or teleprompter. The debates should be a McCain sweep, unless one believes everything the MSM says. I listened to Mr. Berg on the local radio station yesterday, and he had some good points. He’s no idiot. He’s concerned that after the convention is over, the Republicans will come out with the citizenship problem, and put the democrats in complete disarray. Better to be sure now, than wait until right before the election to have the McCain camp say, “Oh, by the way, we have info that Obama isn’t a U.S. natural born citizen.” Right now, I doubt there will be anything said, in the MSM. Nothing must deter the great socialist/marxist Messiah.

    Maybe this wasn’t a gaffe—Oblahblahma is thinking–Biden will be President of the U.S. while I am being President of the World. I am the chosen one–just ask Nancy Pelosi.

    Are you saying that Iran has NOT been sending their weapons and soldiers into Iraq?

    Oh, and for all you Libs downplaying The Golden Calf’s “slip-ups”, and claiming that they are in no way a sign of his incompetence, might I remind you of 8 years of claiming that President Bush’s “slip-ups” were nothing short of proof that he was, amongst other things, an idiot and incompetent. Why, you have even named them “Bushisms” and have come out with calendars and all sorts of nonsense in an attempt to embarrass him in front of the entire world. Therefore, you need to admit that, based on your own standards, The Goldne Calf is therefore, incompetent and an idiot…amongst other things.

    Now, you aren’t admitting to being hypocrites are you?

    You guys may have already discussed this and I might have missed it, but has anyone made the connection between Biden, Biden’s son that is the AG and Larry Sinclair being arrested on June 18th of this year? I did not know anything about this until today. It certainly explains why Obama would feel obligated to pick Joe the Gaffemachine. I usually dismiss stuff like this because it sounds so far fetched, but there are too many connections here and why in the world would anyone pick someone that received less votes than Dennis Kissenich? Biden received 9,000 votes and came in last in the Dem primary race. I know Obama needed something, but Biden? Something smells here.

    Btw, I thought Obama was going to announce to texters who his VP was going to be before the MSN knew? I have a new catchy saying that Bush bashers use frequently but have modified it for this occasion: “Obama lied, texters cried”!
