Hahahahahaha! B. Hussein Obama, the Candidate of Change, has chosen one of the oldest, whitest, most ridiculous and longest serving political hacks in Washington as his running mate–Joe Biden. And who, oh who, could forget his eloquent discussion about the contribution of East Indians to the culture of Delaware. The culture of 7-11s and Dunkin’ Donuts, that is. Absolutely, totally much, much better than that woman who received 18 million votes in the primary and essentially tied him in the popular vote.
Oh and I guess all those special text messages that are going out in the morning are now a little late.

AP: Biden speaks-and speaks -his own mind
…Biden voted in 2002 to authorize the Iraq invasion, which Obama opposed from the start. Since then, he’s become a firm critic of the conflict and pushed through a resolution last year declaring that Bush’s troop increase — now considered a military success — was “not in the national interest.”
One of the youngest politicians ever elected to the Senate — he was 29 — Biden entered the 1988 Democratic presidential primary promising to “rekindle the fire of idealism in our society.” He reluctantly quit the race three months later after he was caught lifting lines from a speech by a British Labour Party leader…
The question was rooted in Biden’s occasional gaffes. He had apologized earlier for describing Obama as “articulate” and “clean” in one unguarded episode that was taken by some to have a racial overtone. And he’d had to defend his remark that “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”
Ah yes, I think this will be fun. I’ve noted for quite some time that there is only one decision Obama could make that would change his perpetual downward slide and change the presidential race, and his chances, dramatically–choosing Hillary Clinton as his running mate. But his ego and self-absorption couldn’t allow that. Those two dramatic weaknesses will also keep him from the White House.
