I'm not certain why you directed this at me.

I did watch the primaries. He thinks Obama is not ready to be president. Also he has said that this is not a job that lends itself to "on the job training". Now we find out that he believes that Obama will be tested like JOHN KENNEDY was tested! THAT'S NOT GOOD. And he also says that he thinks the public will not be happy with how Obama reacts to the test. That's TREMENDOUSLY scary.

I read the articles. The comment was directed at one of the articles.

That's not at ALL what he said! He said, "If WE are elected". He was very specific. Read the quote again, there was no room for error, he was speaking about if Obama and he were elected. He also was asking people to stick with them when he thought that the public would NOT LIKE how Obama handled the situation.

I didn't have to read anything into it. Biden was VERY specific.

If John McCain is elected, we will NOT be tested in the same way, John McCain is not the "young guy" Biden referred to! You are the one reading things into what he said. I think he said EXACTLY what he thinks, just like he always does.

Unbelievable. YOUR OWN V.P. CANDIDATE is telling you! I think you should head his warnings.

If Kennedy had not held strong and been willing to use nuclear weapons, Florida would not be the vacation paradise it is today! Is Obama that strong??? I don't think our enemies think that he is. I don't WANT to find out what they will do! There is no way that McCain would be tested like this. NO president since Kennedy has had to deal with anything like that again, and if we elect someone who is perceived to be weak, you are just ASKING FOR IT!

Sounds to me like he's worried and is trying to warn the rogue nations ahead of time. I don't think it will work, though, because they know Obama doesn't have a "spine of steel". Why should we want to put ourselves into that kind of situation to have to make that warning? It is not necessary.
