The other "Joe"

“Mark my words,” Biden said, “it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.”

I read this yesterday on an ABC news blog and couldn't believe what I was reading. Biden actually WANTS some rogue leader to test Obama (at the risk of the American people). Kennedy got beat up by Khrushchev and the result was the Cuban missile crisis. For those of us alive at the time, the possibility of nuclear war was very real.

What resulted? The Berlin Wall and the Cuban missile crisis. Kennedy wound up trading strategic intel and missile installations in western Asia in exchange for Soviet withdrawal of the nuclear missiles from Cuba. The entire Kennedy administration turned out to be a foreign-policy disaster that was only overlooked because of the tragic assassination of Kennedy in Dallas in 1963.

Analysis:

Biden: Obama’s inexperience will prompt nations to test us

Let me do a quick translation:

"We're going to get hit because we have absolutley no situational awareness - other than Europe loves us"

and

"Once we're hit, we're going to be making some bad decisions, so bear with us while we muddle through it"

There's another good reason not to vote for him.
