Mr. Obama knew what he was getting when he picked Mr. Biden as his running mate: A veteran of six terms in the Senate, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and former chairman of the Judiciary Committee, an Irish Catholic with working-class roots, a guy who had twice been tested in the arena of presidential politics.
And a human verbal wrecking crew.
This is the fellow who nearly derailed his nascent presidential campaign last year by calling Mr. Obama bright and clean and articulate and who noted that you needed a slight Indian accent to walk into a Dunkin’ Donuts or 7-Eleven in Delaware. Read Article Here.
Everyone with a working brain understood why Biden was chosen. Yes he has experience, even more importantly he is WHITE. White white, snow white even. He is from Delaware and helps make people forget for a minute that Obama is black. While I wish I could say that I think people are beyond skin color, I know that this is completely untrue. If he wanted real foreign policy experience, Bill Richardson was your man. If you wanted to appease the greatest amount of people, Hillary Clinton was your woman. If you wanted people to actually vote for Obama, then it had to be a white man. Most of the nation is not ready for a black man and another minority to lead an office that has only been held by WASPs.
