What Is This World Coming To?

Vice President Joe Biden made history yesterday when he withheld a comment that was on his mind.

“I have doubts, but withhold comment,” Biden said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

But don’t freak out — Biden only said he was planning withhold comment, and not that he actually intended to.

Later, he told CNN that the Iranian government has suppressed crowds and limited free speech, which he said raised questions. He also called the strong showing by Ahmadinejad “unlikely,” based on pre-election analysis.

“Is this the response, is this the accurate response, is this the wish of the Iranian people?” Biden said.

Ok. Knowing that Ahmadinejad is a dictator who probably stole the election, what will be the White House response?    “The decision has been made to talk,” says Biden. “And we’re signed on to that.”

On October 28, Biden had this to day about his boss-to-be.

“Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.

“Watch. We’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

“And he’s going to need help . . . to stand with him. Because it’s not going to be apparent initially; it’s not going to be apparent that we’re right.”

I have to give ol’ Joe points on that one.  It ISN’T apparent that they’re right.  Not even to them.
