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

How do you spell baffoon?
Biden is on now saying how Odumbo will not only change the direction of the US, but direction of the world!
Really? Now he wants to be president of the World?

Answer: Obama
The same Biden who essentially said Obama was lightweight just a year ago?
i hope they continue on the arrogant, gaffe filled path that seems to appeal to “smarter than thou senators”.
Second gaffe! Biden just called him “Barack America!”
eric aka the Tygrrrr Express
ahahahhahahahhahahaahahahahaha
I heard that…. you mean the teleprompter had a malfunction????
only bummer is ABC is not switching to the Little League… now I’m really peaved off!!!
get off my TV!!!
and it’s just the talking heads not even the Biden blowhard… good grief.
GAS BAG ALERT! GAS BAG ALERT!
“This may be our last chance to claim the America we love, to restore America’s soul.”
I missed that one! Barack America?
Sheesh!
At least he spared us from his typical windbag speech. Good riddance!
Well, ABC got rid of their Heidi moment the game is on and 1st pitch coming up…..
Obama can change the world, just look at how evil Alabama, I mean Russia listened to him in Georgia.
Hey AJ-
Go Lake Charles, LA!!
They just suggested that the Obamas are for the Hawaii team. They never give it a rest, do they?
Wasn’t that absolutely Gaffetastical? I caught that too.. hahaha
Biden/Obama “08″ with Hillary as a backup VP
BlameAmericaLast said:
Yeah, I caught that. So did the audience. That is when they interrupted Biden’s speech and started chanting O-ba-ma, O-ba-ma.
LOL
…and “caving in” to the right-wing consevatives of his party…
Are you sure you all wouldn’t prefer a McCain/Liebermann ticket as opposed to a McCain/Romney ticket?
See #290 under “It’s Smarmy and Smirky”
It is a good thing Obama picked Biden. Otherwise, instead of Barack America, he could have been called Osama Obama.
Even Hillary has to cackle at that one!
Edit: If he had picked Ted Kennedy instead of Biden, he might have been called Osama Obama instead of Barack America.
:^)
Over at Hot Air it’s been labeled the “clean and jerk” ticket.

Nooooo. Hillary won’t be playing second fiddle to anyone. In all likelihood, she became very busy about 12 hours ago.
He definitely said Barack America..
But clearly he meant to say “Barack Indoneisa”
Geez you guys are brutal..
B-cat, yeah they have kids that throw Gas…
but the good kind not the hot air Odopey and His new toy do…. rofl.
This is too comical….
Oops.. “Barack Indonesia” is what Biden meant to say..
Obama and Biden,
This is getting funnier and funnier,
Maybe they are trying to loose like the
Mel Brooks Comedy, “The Producers”
Obama O’Biden are “The Producers”
It was on the medical news last week that if you laugh often, every day, you can prolong your life by something like 8 years. With these two clowns for 4 years, or God help us 8 years – we’ll all be looking at a life expectancy of Methusaleh!

WAKE UP MY FELLOW CITIZENS!!!!
24klady, nah just 70 or so more days we’ll only live as long as alligators…
I’m trying to do get through some College Gen Ed courses here, & I’m having trouble with this one math problem, Can you guys help me?
It Says:
“Biden is to Obama, as Kickstand is to Motorcycle..”
Oh wait, I get it, I get it!!
hahahahaha
Biden let a few slip,
Barack America (classic)
let’s hope Johnny’s guy doesn’t do that…
Michelle, you might want to change that “like” to “luck” since it’s a post about gaffes. No need to give the haters any ammo.
Speaking of Indonesia, I caught this on the radio this morning — Roger Hedgecock was on with Philip Berg. Apparently, this Democrat has filed suit against Obama so he can prevent a right wing hit job in October. Claims Obama isn’t a legit candidate due to his citizenship.
Read more here at http://www.obamacrimes.com
I haven’t had a chance to scope out the site yet, but plan to do so to see if this guy’s a nut or what.
AJ #26 – 70 or more days is all? Aw, heck, I’m going back to being my cranky old self!
24Klady LOL— We will have to laugh almost constantly to compensate for the stress and frustration that 4-8 years of these two speech challenged twits will cause. Biden loves the UN–holy s*** Batman–they have never solved a problem. If we have a terrorist attack, I imagine the two internationalists will ask for a UN letter of reconciliation be issued to the perp.
I’m just happy for the African American community that Senator Joe Biden felt that Barack Obama was a “clean & articulate” enough black man to be his running mate..
They must feel really good about this approval.
it could have been worse, he could have mixed up sunni and shiite and said Iran was sending weapons into Iraq.
Now, now, he’ll get to that after he finishes bombing Pakistan…
That was my first impression listening live to those fools.
You know, Comedy Central could not have done a better job at picking those two clowns. As one talking head noted, Biden has spent more time in the Senate than at home! The quintessential Washington insider.
I think this proves my Mel Brooks – Zero Mostel theory; They are trying to loose.
It is “Spring Time for Obama and America”
Obama O’Biden are “The Producers”
In his speech today, it’s interesting how he thumped our “failed energy policy” when we all became painfully aware of it in 1973 during the OPEC Oil Embargo. That was about six months after he first took office. And he thinks we’re too stupid to know he’s one of the many who are directly responsible for where we are today. But, hold on folks, we’ll be back to a buck a gallon before we know it because Obidenma has The Plan.
Video Joe Biden “Im not the one.”
Also he buys the MSM bagels the love fest is here
NC BLUE re: “If we have a terrorist attack“, you mean
IfWhen we have a terrorist attack don’t you…(Christian Solider #25)Don’t think that the security people at the conventions aren’t just a tad bit edgy… of course the open border types
never think it could happen to them.
And it appears they have trotted out a new campaign “seal” to mark this auspicious occasion:
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/08/23/another-obama-presidential-seal/
Note that the fowl in the new rendtion of the seal has its wings raised with its tail feathers up while in a standing position. Being an avid hunter and outdoorsman, I have seen this occur more than a few times – it is the position assumed by a bird for defecation. On the American flag, no less. And the bird pictured more closely resembles a vulture than an eagle.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the fitting symbol of your Democratic ticket – a vulture taking a crap on the American Flag! Perfect!
Is this gaffe going to be McCain’s next ad?
‘Obama admits HE is not ready to leave as he announces Biden is next President’.
Re: comment #1—
With a “u,” not an “a.” Just sayin’.
Thanks CO2, I just wanted to make sure I spell it correctly going forward, considering I’ll probably be using that word more often.
I don’t know if he can win President of the World, but he’d win in a landslide in Gaffe-Ghanistan or any country in Gaffe-Rica.
Just saying he makes gaffes is all. Gaffes, people, the Bringer of Light makes lots o’ gaffes.
BIDEN? Wow…Obama is just like us. And by us, I mean all the stupid, non-thinking people running around out there.
Thanks, Hopey Changey!
I think the bumper sticker should read:
Obama lin Biden ’08
LOL, you should post that video (McCain Ad) on this thread as well Michelle, it’s just to good to be in one spot.
#46 ha! good one.
Boy, what a day! I could not begin to hope for the ‘news’ from bho on his vp pick and it has gone down hill since for him. Plesase keep us informed Michelle, this will be one for the record books in CO.
L
Ha! What about the rest of us, Mrs. Malkin
If you think they’ll suffer, wait to see what’ll happen to those of us to who stick to our guns and religion.
NC-Blue – It’ll be interesting watching these two Demtwits trying to “talk, reason & negotiate” their way around Iran and China once they place those cute little things in space that can look down and blow us to h#ll and back. Especially, after they gut the military. Could anyone have imagined, in their wildest dreams, where we are today vs. where we were in 2000 – even throwing The Gorical in the mix?
my litl fren.
Oh they’re blessed alright but not with goodness.
These NEED to be called “Bushisms”.
And then ask the nutroots why they are voting for four more years of Bush.
One thing I don’t understand. They say that Biden was born in Pennsylvania, so that should help them win in Pennsyvania. When was the last time you decided to vote for someone based on the state his VP pick was born in? Would Pennsylvanians actually use that as something they would base their vote on? I have heard more than one pundit say that was really a big plus for Biden.
Someone else heard it too? I couldn’t believe my ears when Biden called BHO “Barack America”. Those silver tongued devils—next president, er, vice president…Barack America…Good grief!
‘buffoon’
Either way, he is one.
jhn1 – I’m so going to steal that line – “Bushisms” is perfect! Thanks..
24Klady—Maybe–just maybe–Biden won’t let Odumbo gut the military. There is a video/audio of a speech by Obumbo where he spells out in detail how he will gut our national defense. I was on active duty during the Carter Admin and remember what he did to our military–It was called the slippery slope of the 70′s by a 4 star General. Retention was horible, readiness sucked, and we left hostages in Iran for 444 days. It looks like Deja vu all over again.
Sluts, all. Were I a candidate I would remember what all said and did. Just shows politics infect.
Don’t forget how many Bases Bubba boy eliminated… speaking of them, anyone hear from Hilldebeast today?
Maybe she’s still sleeping from getting awakened by some rude caller at 3a.m. this morning. rofl.
Ha! I can still hear screams in the distance every once in a while.
NC Blue #58 – We can hope Biden will talk some sense into him – but since they both are sporting enormous egos and self importance it’s going to be a crapshoot, much like Obambi’s bird seal.
I’ve seen the messiah’s video too on his intentions for the military, but cannot remember where it was. We can declare a national day of mourning should these two make it to the White House. The only other alternative is to vote for McCain – suck it up and deluge his campaign headquarters with our displeasure over some of his policies. We’ll see soon enough how badly he wants the job.
I happened to catch most of the Biden speech and thought I misunderstood Biden when he introduced Obama as “Barack America”…pretty funny.
I just find it really hard to understand Barack’s “CHANGE” theme when he asks a multi-term senator to be his VP that is anything but “CHANGE”. It just shows how Barack is nothing but a empty-suit.
I can not imagine how the dems are going to explain away Biden’s comments about Barack not being ready to lead during the democratic primary. Also, how do they explain his vote for the Iraq war?
Also…can’t wait for the dem convention now…Hillary and Bill are going to really give it them!
or
Obama bin Lieden 08′
It’s going to be unbelievably transparent.
The two of them trying to pull off actually rooting for Odopey.
Get the body language expert ready it’s going to be Hysterical.
How hilarious and embarassing, introducing Biden as the next POTUS. I’m sure that Joe was quite comfortable with that. I really hope that all of the hot air that comes with the never-ending stream of Biden folderol is not harming the earth. The guy is a seasoned expert at jive talking.
So how did the GOP manage to get this lucky with Obama picking Biden?
Easy, God decided John McCain being our candidate was punishment enough.
Give Barry a break. Someone turned off the tele-prompter and he had to speak without script. LMAO
It’s April fools, Right?
I had no idea McCain picked a running mate and was in Illinois. Wow.
You can’t fix stupid!
And he wan’t to be our next….?
It looks like choosing a VP is another thing above Obama’s pay scale. The question is, can Biden add “gravitas”?
24Klady-Obama video on you tube–search for: Yes I can-Make Us Defenseless-Just Like Dec 7, 1941. Scary as hell. McCain should run an Ad on this. What an appeaser.
Gaffes
Look here how Joe addresses his gaffes compared to other people’s gaffes Imus in Particular Joe Biden used to come on Imus in the Morning all the time. Now I guess it isn’t politically helpful…oh Joe wants to know Imus what have you done for me lately.
http://imustimes.wordpress.com/2008/08/23/imus-senator-biden-on-the-phone/
Ya know, I pray every morning for Obama….I pray and ask the Lord to confuse his speech, to bring him and his campaign to mutual confusion, to confound them, and to shine the light of truth on them so that the American people can see who this man really is. I ask the Lord to make them like chafe before the wind.
And it feels so good to see how gracious the Lord is to answer my simple prayer.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Reminds me of this.
Then There is Obama himself you know the art critic who has Ludacris on his i pod
http://bellalu0.wordpress.com/2008/08/02/obama-compares-massacre-of-30-students-to-verbal-violence-of-imus/
Or is he more of a gaffeoon?
What are the Las Vegas odds on Hillary and/or Bill coming down with last-minute reasons why they can’t address the convention? Or maybe Hillary telling her folks to go for broke on the vote, just in case a few super delegates have second thoughts? The Clintons could come down with a bad case of diss-a-rhhea after swallowing all the crap the Chicago Dem machine has been shoving down their throats. Remember Clinton’s entrance to the 2000 convention? Long walk down the hall shot from a low angle, camera looking up at the King? Lo, how the mightly are fallen.
NC Blue – thanks for the tip on the video. When I saw it, I forwarded it to everyone in my address book, then deleted it. Scary, chilling, and smacked of something I know, deep down, could spell the end of my country as we know it. Truly turned my blood cold.
Can’t wait for the fireworks in Denver. If Hillary has anything left in her bag of tricks she best be giving it the light of day. Unless, of course, she’s been promised the Supreme Court – or Bill an appointment to the U.N.? Of course, no matter what, if Obambi loses in Nov. the civil disobediance across the country is going to make the LA Watts riots look like a playground exercise.
Actually, with Obama-Biden in office, WE will need all the blessings WE can get… It’s going to be a very long, very cataclysmic 8 years.
If the Hillary voters want to take their toys and go home, the hell with em.
It’s not Obama’s fault that Hill didn’t plan on having to compete after Super Tuesday. It’s not his fault that her campaign disregarded the caucus states. Lastly, she’s in debt because she stubbornly stayed in the race, and loaned herself $ even though the numbers showed that she couldn’t catch up. If her crybaby acolytes really think that McCain is going to be a president in the same mold as Hillary, they’re beyond stupid. If the pro-choice feminists cherish the right to abortion choice, we’ll see how petty and myopic they really are. If they are willing to sabotage an election in hopes of 2012, they are some of the most naive and selfish people I can imagine. A lot can happen in 4 yrs idiots. Remember back when this election was supposed to be all about Clinton v. Rudy. Wow, uh, I guess that didn’t pan out.
Hillary may have helped unite the party, but this general election isn’t just about the PARTY. Moderates and independents(particularly men) are up for grabs, and don’t tend to like or trust Hillary Clinton.
Obama has baggage and inexperience. However he doesn’t have one ounce of the baggage of Hillary and Bill Clinton. Who else was viable, John Edwards? Yeah that would have been the biggest democratic nominee disgrace in modern history.
My ticket is Obama/Biden. I’m happy with it for reasons stated numerous times on other threads. Let the debates begin.
Ha! Shows how much you know. Didn’t you know that “it just wasn’t supposed to happen that way”? That none were to seriously challenge Queen Hillary? That it was “her turn”?
For as much as the right likes to poke Obama as being “The One”, there was only one candidate in the primaries on either side who considered
himselfherself entitled to the nomination.chap, are you channeling Phlegmger? lol
So true, Chap. Hopefully, she’ll do the right thing and help get B.O. elected. It’s not like she can’t benefit from his victory.
Sometimes the truth is spoken very untactfully and sometimes spoken untactfully by slightly crazy white Catholic priests.
N.B. I am pretty sure untactfully is not a real word, but you get my drift.
tactlessly.
Thank you atheling.
That is actually the exact word I should have used.
tactless might work, but yes I get your drift… and he was actually funny jumpin around like a fool….. in a clown with a collar sorta way.
i see athe, popped in whilst i typed…
Hey! how bout Bryan Cole?!!!
No, she has a vested intrest in seeing him lose. Her only future shot is 2012.
She is now becoming the darling heroine of the democrat party. Another victim who fell just short at the wire.
In fact, if the upcoming week’s gaffe-a-thon Oblahma/Byedumb tour sees poll numbers continue to slip, don’t be surprised to see Hill’s operatives try an end-around at the convention.
She was correct. This guy is unelectable.
Do you mean Clay?
If so, it is sad but I had even forgotten the decathalon was an event. Sad fall from the Nike or Adidas or Reebok “Dan and Dan” commercials.
But good on him.
yes I did, see post #91…
very cool.
Hey AJ, how do you like that first baseman your Angels got from the Braves?

I wet my pants when I heard him say that!
I love it, but only if we resign him in the winter for a few more years… otherwise I want Casey Kotchman back.
Gaffe no but these words will come back to haunt Biden and of course Imus is at the center:) it is an Imus Centric World.
Washington Post article
On a lighter note, both Biden and McCain were among the most frequent guests on Don Imus’ radio show, often heaping praise on each other. During one show in 2006, Biden was effusive about McCain’s efforts to stop the Bush Administration’s torture policy.
“You know, I mean, thank God for John McCain in saying, whoa, what are you guys talking about?,” Biden told Imus.
But that friendship is likely to be strained further during the
upcoming election, as Biden is tasked by Obama to attack McCain. It is a task he had already begun even before being picked.
Entire Article here…But I don’t think Joe Biden will go on Imus in the morning anymore too bad so sad. Both Obama and Biden called Imus’s NHH Satire sound byte Verbal violence..this is coming from the man who sat in the Rev Jeremiah Wright’s church and thinks Ludacris is an artist and he has him on his I pod. No neither Jeremiah Wright or Ludacris apologized…but Don Imus did.
