Why is Biden Predicting an International Crisis?

This is crazy:

“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. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate…And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you — not financially to help him — we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

Scary stuff and makes me imagine all kinds of illuminati shadow government conspiracies, but alas, I digress. What do you think his words mean? Is he just deranged from too much campaigning?

Skeptical of Colin Powell’s Support

I will start off by stating that I believe John McCain will win the election. It is going to be a very close race, but he will win. Colin Powell’s endorsement is not a game changer. Here is the full video of Colin Powell’s reason and endorsement of Barack Obama. What do you think?

Even though Barack Obama is in the lead in all the polls.. we must remember that both Kerry and Gore were in the lead going into November and they both lost.

Quote of the Day - Barack Obama’s Beliefs Through his Words

First off, thanks to Brainy Quote for providing these great quotes from Barack Obama.

This is a little bit of an experiment on my part. As I was reading through the list deciding which one to post, I realized that any single quote could sway your thoughts about the man either for or against his beliefs, so I decided to include a broad range of his words so you can get a fuller picture of him. Enjoy.

A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, ‘Huh. It works. It makes sense.’

Barack Obama

Community colleges play an important role in helping people transition between careers by providing the retooling they need to take on a new career.

Barack Obama

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

Barack Obama

I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the Great Emancipator.

Barack Obama

I don’t oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war.

Barack Obama

I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying.

Barack Obama

If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.

Barack Obama

In the end, that’s what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?

Barack Obama

It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.

Barack Obama

John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded.

Barack Obama

Money is not the only answer, but it makes a difference.

Barack Obama

My favorite quote is the first one. Which one is your favorite?

Quote of the Day - on sacred cows and voting meat

“Sacred cows make the best hamburgers.”

- Abbie Hoffman

We throw ourselves at the mercy of the giant twin arches. McDonalds, our great dark lord, please do not smite us until we eat and drink and be merry via our happy meals.

- The Constant Skeptic

Sorry for the lack of posts, have faith more will be coming, including an enticing, mouthwatering review of ~~chemtrails~~ contrails.

Stay tuned and remain skeptical. If you are in PA, make sure you go out and vote. Brave the pattering storms and speak your mind to the powers that be. At worst, you can vote for yourself. That is what I do.

Rove spoke at the University of Iowa Sunday…. Chaos Ensued

I don’t know why I have been stuck on the Roves-meister lately, but here is another syndication of recent news related to him. He apparently got heckled pretty bad in Iowa. Guess that is what you get when you are Satan Himself.

(CNN) — Former top Bush aide Karl Rove didn’t get the friendliest of receptions at the University of Iowa Sunday, CNN affiliate KCRG reports.

Radio Iowa also reports one audience member told Rove that MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann named him the “worst person ever.”

“Ever?” Rove joked. “Yea, worse than Hitler, worse than Stalin, worse than Mao and worse than the person who introduced aluminum baseball bats.”
