RW talking point re: Biden as VP: "It's a REVEALING choice."

[jenmito]

I think I've heard EVERY Repub. surrogate/strategist/whatever saying it was "revealing" that Obama chose Biden because it proves he knows he lacks experience and NEEDS someone like Biden. Then they all point out how Biden himself said Obama's not ready. :eyes:

[jesus_of_suburbia]

1. And yet if Obama had picked an unknown they would say that the ticket lacked experience.

Obama did REALLY well in my opinion. He picked my second choice... and it might even end up being the BEST choice.

[jenmito]

8. Of course they had a script for WHOMEVER he picked. I think the Repubs.

are SCARED of Biden.

[Bobbie Jo]

2. I noticed...What's REVEALING is that Obama has the judgment

to choose the VP who is going to help put him in the position to do what he needs to do.

What a weak, "we've got NUTHIN" talking point.

[jenmito]

9. Exactly. And especially if McCain picks Romney, won't it REVEAL that McCain admitted

to not knowing much about the economy so he had to pick someone who DOES (who is worth over $200 million?)

[BadgerKid]

16. Well, look at * and Dick

lol

[jenmito]

20. I'd rather not!

:puke: :D

[EC]

3. So isn't McCain going to chose someone to shore up his

weaknesses? That would say alot about him too. They should back off while they can...

[jenmito]

13. Exactly. I said the same thing up-thread...

not only will it reveal his weakness on the economy (especially if he picks Romney), but it will give our side tons of ammo to make ads with video clips of them insulting each other WAY more than Biden did Obama.

[darius15]

4. Can't have it both ways.

If we picked a lightweight like Kaine, they'd say these guys can't be Prez, they have no experience!

Now we have experience, so they'll say Obama is trying to cover up his inexperience, or
"Biden doesn't fit the message of change!"

[DevonRex]

5. And that same line has been used right here and it's revealing

about the few who posted it here, too. That, along with the ones saying it destroys his "change" mantra.

I'm pretty sick of seeing it on DU. Hopefully they'll all just go away now that it's been pointed out as the RW line of attack. Why do I doubt it, though?

[jenmito]

19. That's a shame. I doubt they're real Dems. n/t

[DevonRex]

22. I doubt it, too. :) nt

[Cha]

6. Yeah, it reveals that Obama is confident and doesn't

need Beta types around. Obama has good judgment and Biden has years of experience and expertise in Foreign policy and they'll be working together.

Obama said he would put his VP to work. Not in a bunker, either.

[IDemo]

11. Well said, and that is exactly how I expect the campaign to respond

That's if they feel the need to respond to idiotic talking points.

[MiniMe]

7. What it shows is that the RW is panicking

[Cha]

12. They need to panic..their stranglehold on America's Blood and Treasure

rests on john mccain's vapid insults.

[Occam Bandage]

10. Yes. It revealed that Obama has an attack dog who is going to kick their fucking asses.

[AtomicKitten]

14. It reveals good judgment. Tough for anyone to argue with that.

[mvd]

15. It's revealing all right

It helps reveal them as the bullies they are.

[marlakay]

17. they are going to twist it to bad no matter what we do

so all we can do is fire at them and hope it sticks and shield off attacks.

[vaberella]

18. It's as bad as CNN claiming they did the make on Obama and his plan failed. ~sigh~ n/t

[Thrill]

21. They know their main argument against Obama is experience. And its not going to work now

[Erin Elizabeth]

23. Revealing? That's the worst they've got?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

Mmmmkay.

[CheekyLilMonkey]

24. typical chatter -- they have to keep talking to fill space

Biden has the appearance of experience --Gravitas -- that Obama needed. If Obama picked someone without experience, it would have been a huge mistake.

But Hillary is more experienced than Biden. Hillary would have united the party and made a super strong ticket.

Obama's people made a BIG mistake dissing Hillary. They could have at least PRETENDED to consider her for VP! That may be what determines this election.

[dansolo]

27. Hillary is not more experienced than Biden

Please, stop this fucking shit right now. If you want to argue that Hillary deserved the VP slot because of how well she did in the primaries, fine. But if you are honestly going to claim that Hillary has more experience than Biden, you are only going to look foolish.

[lumpy]

29. Hilary Clinton is more experienced than Biden????

Better check on Biden's background re.qualifications, experience that includes a very active and productive career for 30 years in the US Senate. Clinton is teriffic but she lacks the power that Biden can use to Obama's benefit.

[Hansel]

25. It reveals he's a smart confident leader who knows his limitations

and how to hired a qualified staff.

God these people are idiots. I wonder how many executives know how to do every job in their company. I'm pretty sure that most hire competent staff, consult with them as the experts and then make decisions based on what these highly qualified people tell them. At least every CEO I ever worked with operated that way.

If they want McCain to have to meet the same litmus test of a being an expert in every aspect of the executive branch it should be very easy to destroy him.

This is a loser line of attack, but it sure shows how weak they are. Obama and Biden are going to chew him up and spit him out.

[WinkyDink]

26. A/P's Fournier first wrote it, then David Gregory immediately repeated it, and now it's THE STORY.

TOTALLY insulting Obama, and this is from "non-partisan" journalists.

[MarjorieG]

28. We need surrogates who can answer the IWR and change better than today.

Even the wonderful Susan Rice mentioned talking points, but ceded foreign polict judgment of Obama (which could be wrapped in a sentence of what he got right).

Only Jamie Rubin reminded of the Biden-Lugar resolution, and how if not for Lieberman and Gephardt doing an end run around it, the resolution asked for GW coming back to Congress and required int'l community. Most likely we wouldn't have had war.
