Bad choice.
We have Obama on one hand who several persons still refer to as Osama. Then we have Biden which is the first and last letters of Bin Laden. Oh I can see this working real well. It is not to say that either of them is involved with Bin Laden, however, the letters are set like concrete in the minds of the American voter.
Next the initials O/B. I keep thinking Obi wan Kenobi. Do we really need Star Wars as part of the campaign?
Then we have the Joe Biden health issues-nothing like dragging in another ancient goat who had brain cancer (yeah, I know a politician with brain cancer, it doesn't seem possible). I would say his conveniently timed jaunts over to Georgia to interfere with things there in the last month added to his star{t) power. Sure he has foreign affairs as part of his past, however, he is also so well entrenched a part of D.C. that he is exactly opposite of the Obama mantra of change.
Other than his Mexican heritage which would offend many idiots out there, what was wrong with Bill Richardson? The man is well rounded in the workings of government and has been involved with foreign affairs. Richardson has a connection to D.C.; however, he has shown that he is not going to be beholden to them-he's clearly his own man as was shown when he stood up to the Clintons and did not back Hillary as a candidate.
Looking at the photos of Obama and Biden next to each other is frightening. Frightening for Obama that is. Biden looks like he should be Obama's mentor. In photo appearances, it will seem more like Biden should be at the top of the ticket. Obama would have done better with either a younger candidate, or at least somebody who looked a little younger than Biden.
Guess this means Hillary will get the nod after all-we all knew there was some reason there'd be a run of the votes for her at the convention.
Stupid move on the part of Obama to go this way.
