It’s Smarmy and Smirky ‘08!

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 23, 2008 09:20 AM

Scroll for updates…3:03pm Eastern Obama takes the stage in Springfield IL as U2’s “Oh, You Look So Beautiful” plays…so humble…Obama: “Joe Biden is that rare mix. He has brought change to Washington, but Washington hasn’t changed him…He’s stared down dictators…He is uniquely suited to be my partner as we work to put our country back on track…He is one of the finest public servants of our time.” Obama touts Biden’s blue-collar background, Catholic background, his stutter, his family tragedy (the car accident that killed his wife and daughter), brain aneurysm…(Obama neglects to mention his two losing presidential bids)…Biden will deliver “straight talk.” Heh. That’s the danger, isn’t it?

And now, let me introduce to you…snort: First gaffe of Obama-Biden ‘08!

He said he “wasn’t the guy.” Starting his VP candidacy off with a lie.

Let the fun begin.

The Springfield, IL announcement takes place at 3pm EST. Video clips and any gaffes from the gaffe-tastic duo will be here.

The McCain camp was ready.

Oh, and so much for the Magic Text Message, which, as Ed Morrissey points out, arrived at 4:50am Eastern. Now, we know what the text message sign-up was really about. Not about being all-inclusive and galvanizing the hip kids with cool technology. It’s a mega-fund-raising call list, as commenter Gwillie points out.

Head fake.

Question from the McCain camp: Why 3 am?

    Son,
    totally agree with you, I just had to laugh when HAL said okay enuff of the demonizing by dems we are out of here.
    make no mistake oil companies can and will to the same thing if they are pushed too far.

    In a recent speech the Obamessiah praised China for its shiny new modern factories, ports and transportation system. With what his administration will do in taxes and added regs, he WILL push even more business operations out of the country.

    Palin would be great choice for a VP who isn’t an old DC Beltway veteran (McCain’s already one). Shes’d be a fresh face from outside and could get some of those Hillary voters. Palin would be an excellent contrast to Biden.

    I’Id really love to see Palin smack down Biden in debate.: )

    Never fear, bansharia, Virginia is a red state still, no matter what the lib media claim. It has moved left due to the invasion of New Yorkers and Jerseyites into the Northern VA/DC area, however, this is still a largely rural state, and there is an electoral college thingy.

    My birthday isn’t until next month, but I got my gift early! What a crappy ticket – two men with overinflated egos and bumbling mouth disease. Biden won’t pull Hillary supporters and I doubt he’ll give much of a bump to Obama’s numbers.

    Biden may have 6 terms in the Senate- and be on a foreign policy committee, but his foot in mouth disease makes that moot.

    McCain, please pick a conservative woman with a personality and bring it on!

    Here in the Socialist Utopia that I live in, none of this will matter. The libs will vote for the Dem no matter what name is on the ticket. I guess they have to justify the eight bumper stickers per Prius.

    Yeah, the VP pick won’t matter for the severly brainwashed and indoctrinated libs. They, aong with all their dead and imaginary relatives and friends, will vote in lockstep for any and every Dem on the ballot.

    However, for the independents it WILL matter, as it will for many Hillary supporters who still may vote on the gender issue and take their vote elsewhere.

    I’m conviced the Clintons will do what they can in the most subtle way to sabotage Obama this year to keep 2012 open for Hillary to run again.

    Although by choosing Biden, the Obamessiah continues to show he doesn’t need any help – he can self sabotage.

    Let the games begin. This just proves what I have thought all along. Obama is in over his head and he knows it. So what does he do? He reaches out for a security blanket in the form of Biden. If Obama was really smart, he would have talked Hillary into being his vice-president. Then he would have had the campaign sewed up for sure. Now look what he’s got. A swelled-head egomaniac shoot-from-the-hip big-mouth narcissist who is going to be a bigger pain-in-the-ass for him than his wife Michelle. Wait a minute! I just described the Clintons in a nutshell. True, but the only difference is that Biden doesn’t bring millions of voters along with him. As far as this overjoyed Republican thinks, Obama made the best choice for his defeat that he could have made. I commend his stupidity. Yes world, there is a God, and God is a Republican.

    Biden: No, no, no, you were incapable of understanding me. I was referring to the fact that having almost no experience in government he hadn’t become sullied by the dirt of the beltway as someone who has been in the Senate for as many terms as I have. But the issue today is…we want to talk about change.

    The Obama media, led by Obama acolyte Andrea Mitchell, will minimize the various Biden scandals. They are already saying that the Neil Kinnock theft was nothing more than borrowing a few words. Actually Biden not only stole Kinnock’s words, Biden stole Kinnock’s biolgraphy. Kinnock talked about his granddad and dad going down under the coal mines and then coming up and playing 6 hours of football. Biden used that line and talked of his own grandpa nad pop working under theground in the mine. Actually there was never a Biden who worked under the ground as a coalminer. The only thing he could come up with was a distant relative of his wife who worked in management for a coal company many years before. And then Biden didn’t even know that Kinnock was talking about soccer, not American football. And Biden’s record at Syracuse Law School was disgraceful. He could have been expelled for plaigirizing. He whined and the Dean let him off with a suspension. And he graduated near the bottom of his class. The McCain campaign should rerun the CSpan video where Biden, back in 1987, starts berating a guy in New Hampshire, saying: “I have a higher IQ than you do” and then Biden brags about how great a student he was at Syracuse Law School. In reality, Biden was a lousy student, barely graduating from Syracuse. I wonder if Andrea Mitchell will mention any of this. Somehow I doubt it.

    McCain needs to pick Jindal;

    Jindal has already said that he wouldn’t accept because he has work to do in LA. He’s been governor there for less than a year. Hopefully we’ll see Jindal in 2012 or 2016, depending on this election’s outcome.

    Eric Cantor’s been vetted and he’s a good pick. Hard core conservative and would definitely attract Jewish voters.

    Sarah Palin would be awesome, and I think she would garner disenchanted Hillary voters despite her pro life stance because they want to vote for a woman, and to keep Obama out of the White House so Hillary can run again in 2012.

    #83 Jim M has a major point. When I read that response I instantly thought of Biden being a bobble head doll. Can you not just envision Joe standing next to THE ONE and all he does is nod?

    This is the greatest gift to the GOP! My face is sore from smiling or laughing. Rush has got to have collapsed on the floor of his mansion in hysterical laughter.

    Nope not heard one word about gravitas yet, but the words non compos mentis do come to mind. This is not demonstrating good judgement from THE ONE! LMAO!

    Oh, and in case you all have not heard; this does not give THE ONE any bounce. According to most pollsters, Biden does not move the polls one smidgen!

    There are Jews who vote straight Democrat no matter what. Frankly, I don’t think they are practicing Jews, as they support Palestine, ACLU, etc… I know of some myself and it puzzles me, as it is a form of self loathing, in my book.

    However, with the blatant anti Semitism of many blacks, especially exemplified by Wright, and the rise of Islam, some of those Jews are re-thinking their allegiance to the Democrat Party – and are not fully in favor of Obama. Putting a Jew on the McCain ticket might give them cause to vote Republican at this point.

    Okay, one theme of commentary I’ve been seeing here (and on other threads) is that some believe that Hillary might still win the nomination.

    I don’t get that. How? She’s broke. Obama has all the money. I don’t think the Dems are going to flush all that greenback down the Hillary hopper.

    I could be wrong, but I just don’t see how a Hillary nomination can be possible.

    Lol, a birth announcement in a newspaper means nothing, and is certainly no proof that Obama was indeed born in Hawaii.

    I find the suit interesting, but I am skeptical, but not for the reason you are.

    amything is possible in the dem party and clintons have a very long history of being fighters. That said the entire obama campaign from get go was orchestrated by dems who wanted to get control of DNC back from clinton control. It is my opinion that they never had any expectation he would win POTUS the goal was get DNC out of Clinton’s hands… time will tell if
    this is accurate

    Wow, y’all, there’s some great thinkin’ goin’ on heah. From the comment about losing the majority if dims win to the news about the lawsuit brought by a Hitlarly supporter re BO’s non-birth certificate, it’s always enlightening. Old Hopenchange really got himself a bright and shiny runningmate, huh?

    After Fred Thompson dropped out, I went for Mitt and still think he’d shine on the GOP ticket. He’s handsome, smart and articulate — but, then I had to listen to the reality of what he did for his state when he was governor. He’s a wiz with his own finances, but he’s been a disaster for Taxachusetts. His blanket healthcare plan has Taxachusetts in MAJOR financial trouble and Rep. voters from MA have said he changes positions with the wind.

    If he could only have Ronaldus Magnus’s psyche, we would be golden for a few years.

    That said, I’d have to cast my VP vote for Sarah Palin. I think disenchanted Hillbilly voters would vote for McCain with Sarah on the ticket out of pure spite. Palin also refused to consider abortion even though she knew her son would have Down syndrome, a plus for those of us rooting for those who can’t defend themselves, and any man that sees her thinks she’s a babe.

    This is a GREAT choice for a running mate – at least, from the standpoint of this Republican. I only have one question: exactly what Jedi mind tricks did Karl Rove use to get Obama to choose Biden? I mean, I really, really want to volunteer to be his apprentice if he can do this.

    “Biden is the candidate you’re looking for… you can go about your business… move along…”

    All kidding aside, this is a gift, and suddenly, the election has just become McCain’s to win or lose. Let’s not blow it!

    I really hope he picks Palin. Obama has proven his change mantra is all fake by picking the epitomy of the Washington Insider as his VP pick. This guy has only been a Senator most of his life. We all know that is not a real job!! Hehe. (think of Ted Kennedy, he has been in the Senate even longer and have you ever considered him to work a day in his life?)

    Anyway, I hope McCain’s campaign is reading the blogs. Governor Palin would be a great asset to the ticket.

    Maybe you missed Biden’s Hannity & Colmes interview where he stated simply, “He didn’t want the job.” Now is that a lie? How do you want to wear that egg on your face woman; scrambled or over easy?

    It’s true that Gov. Palin takes an enormously high tax rate from the oil companies, but she had to. Alaska is a huge state with a very small population.
    At 656,425 sq. mi. it’s nearly 3 times the size of #2 Texas 268,600 sq.mi. yet has 1/40th of the population, Ak. 663,660 to TX. 22 million.
    Building and maintaining infrastructure in a state that large and has such severe wheather conditions Gov. palin had no choice but to charge that high a tax on an industry that still walk away with a nice profit. After all, it was not a deal breaker, and they still want to expand drilling operations.

    My point is that Gov Sarah Palin is not a big tax RINO, but a solid pro-life, fiscal conservative.
