"Uncontrolled Verbosity" -- Tony

Seems Mr. Obama is selling his soul in an effort to win the Presidency. I'm sure everyone can remember when the now VP candidate said these words about Obama:

"... he's the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." Real nice right.

He quickly back peddled and said he meant "fresh" and not "clean". I would be willing to buy that, if it wasn't for his other racially insensitive remarks he's made, like the comment towards Indian Americans in Delaware:

“...You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.” What's bad is that he said this to an Indian supporter and apparently didn't think he said anything wrong. See for yourself here

Now, I'm sure I'm being "hyper-sensitive" here (as Eric puts it), but my point is to remind everyone who Biden really is. He's a guy who said "I'm not tip toeing, I'm walking right into it, I'm against government controlled health care". He's a guy that calls himself blue collar and says he can win votes in the South because "his state was a slave state...his state is the 8th largest black population in the country..."?? What's that got to do with winning southern states? See for yourself here .

What's worse is when he says this stuff, half the time he doesn't even realize he's saying anything derogatory, I don't know which is worse; Saying it to be mean, or having it so ingrained in your core that you don't even realize you said something wrong.

Do you think a guy with Biden's bigoted views would be the kind of guy someone like Obama would normally support? No, Obama sees the fact that Biden fills in the gaps (experience, foreign policy, etc) in his campaign and he is willing to sell his soul to get this presidency. Obama promises to unite all people, Biden has shown his inept ability to not know when to shut up.

So you may say Obama is looking past Biden's flaws to see the good traits. OK, I'll buy that. Now, consider that fact that Biden is on the ticket to fill in those gaps like experience, foreign policy, etc... so if Obama can't handle these issue himself and has to consult Biden on everything, why didn't Biden win the democratic primary?

As much as I think Bill Clinton was phony, and takes credit for an economy he had nothing to do with (unless you believe he created the internet), and that he spent 8 years serving his own agenda rather than that of the country, I do agree with one statement he made Tuesday night about Obama:

"Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don't think that candidate can deliver on anything at all. Candidate Y, you agree with on about half the issues, but he can deliver. Which candidate are you going to vote for?"

You can promise the world, but if you can't deliver, what good are those promises?
