WHOEVER IS ELECTED WILL BE "TESTED". . .

Frankly I FAR prefer contemplating the responses of President Obama than I do President McCain.. or (shudder) President Palin..

Get a grip folks... It's a dangerous world no matter who's driving the bus

1. Let's hope there's a calm, steady driver not an erratic one nt

2. Even Bush was tested within months of becoming President in 2001.

It is horrible that they are saying Bidens words were a gaffe. They were the truth. We are in two wars and an economic crisis. It is a perfect time for someone to attempt another attack on our country, for example.

5. yeah... and HIS response was to

turn the world against us, hollow out our government, hollow out our Treasury and kill twice as many Americans than died in the attack. . .

WWPMcCD? WWPPD?

[Jawja]

8. Yes, Bush was tested

with repeated and dire warnings about a terrorist strike on American soil and Bush failed that test. He ignored the warnings, took his vacation and America was attacked. Bush was tested and failed.

9. and the first attempt on the trade towers was in '93

...so yeah, it seems we're due.

3. Biden made a Gaffe. I.E. Told the truth

but the world will test a President McCain as well in the first 6 months. If his erratic flight maneuvers during the economic crisis are any indication...not good.

[oviedodem]

4. The problem is Biden bought in the nat security issue which Obama is

behind in.

[annabanana]

6. didn't he just pull ahead in that category too?

[Eurobabe]

7. damn straight People; quit trashing Joe Biden

if you cannot handle the truth, get off DU!!

10. All presidents are "tested" as are presidential candidates..

in a way.

We need someone who is caring, level headed and intelligent, shows sound judgment and will work to unite our country not someone who is known to have a nasty temper, has shown very poor judgment in a running mate, who deliberately makes and allows divisive comments in his own speech, ads, rallies, etc and has been acting so horribly erratic and just plain weird.

McCain even as just a candidate (no less a Senator who voted with Bush and his failed policies 90% of the time) has failed the test of true leadership and temperament that America desperately needs... as anyone with even half a brain can plainly see Obama has passed with flying colors and has all the qualities that are truly important and very much needed now more then ever in an American president.
