Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. "And he's gonna need help

"HE'S GONNA NEED HELP".

Joe Biden tells us why we must for for McCain.

This is troubling, but Palin's refusal to even discuss her health let alone release full records) is scarier considering her running mate's health background.

Tempted to not respond to geevil, since his remarks had nothing to do with Biden's health.

But your emphasis was on "he's gonna need help"...Are you saying McCain can solve foreign policy issues alone? With no input from anybody?

They need to remove the tumor that's causing Biden to see three letters where there four. J-O-B-S.

It's obviously impinging on the part of his shriveled, walnut-sized brain that lets him distinguish between an inexperienced socialist fascist and a presidential candidate.

Are you absolutely sure Biden was thoroughly checked out? I think his hair-plugs went a little too deep and caused damage. After all he said JOBS is a three letter word. And Obama said he could see fallen heroes (Soldiers) in his audience plus I am still waiting for him to identify all 57 states. Those so-called Democrats are weird.

Now can we see Obama's health records????? Considering his family history and his smoking habit, that is where the concern should be.

No sorry, you can NOT see Obama's health records. You might find something there that places doubt on the Senator's claim that he was born in Hawaii and that will inevitably take him off the Democratic ticket. So, no you can't see that information, at least not until after Nov. 4th, when he can fully and effectively throw this country into a constitutional crisis the likes to which have NEVER been seen, not to mention impending riots from blacks who think whitey is trying to take the first Black President down. Okay, so now do you get it??? NO medical records for you.

Mary, do you mean Obama see's dead people? LOL If this election weren't so important, it would be laughable.

What are these things that Biden says Obama is planning on doing that they're not telling anyone about? "We're going to have to do things that you think are completely wrong, and go against your gut, but you have to trust us, I mean, don't question us, just stick with us through this and it is going to be better in the end." Makes me feel like a victim in the SAW movies... "we're going to have to take your kidneys to sell them to someone else, but don't worry, we'll leave you in a bathtub full of ice and we'll call the paramedics on the way out."

Michelle: "on the Senator's claim that he was born in Hawaii and that will inevitably take him off the Democratic ticket."

What, something that contradicts his birth certificate and the birth notice placed in the 1961 Honolulu newspaper? Is the McCain/Palin ticket so weak that all they have left now are crackpot conspiracy theories? It's blatantly apparent the Obama supporters are talking about his policies, skillset, and experience, not the FACT McCain was born in Panama. It's not just the Republican candidate that is completely out of touch with reality...

Biden with his aneurysms. This is scary enough, knowing that Obama would be totally clueless without biden. Who will he call at 3 am with the crisis occuring? Even Biden admitted over the weekend that we should be worried about Obama's inexperience, guaranteeing that there will be a crisis in 6 months!

We need to be worried, very worried!

And, Obama with his smoking history, known drug use, and his refusal to release his medical records?

As usual with all of Obama' spast, what is this man trying to hide? Remember, it's not just the crime, it's the cover up.

McCain has allowed reporters to view his medical records. why won't Obama? McCain is healthier than Biden and Obama. His mom is vibrant at 96, for gosh sakes.

Palin is energetic and healthy, and the youngest of the 4, with no smoking history.

Obama/Biden = worry, be very worried, and scared of what will become of this country.

Any questions that remain about Biden: Please direct them to Biden himself, he is still sitting at Katie's Restaurant waiting for service.

Poor guy, somebody please tell him the place closed 15 years ago. This is getting so sad, oh and he's also going to miss his Botox appointment.

Sbrady: "What are these things that Biden says Obama is planning on doing that they're not telling anyone about? "We're going to have to do things that you think are completely wrong, and go against your gut, but you have to trust us,..."

Things like support FISA, fix rather than delete the Patriot Act, keep Social Security a retirement rather than tax program, etc. Biden was talking to the democratic base and preparing them for the fact that when Obama talks about bipartisanship it means meeting near the center, not the left. He has already shown this during the FISA and Patriot act fights, and taken a good deal of flak from the left for it. It's not exactly a surprise to anyone actually listening to him or familiar with his long IL legislative record.

This is scary enough, knowing that Obama would be totally clueless without biden.
==================

Liberati--What are you talking about? Obama is clueless WITH Biden.

liberati: "As usual with all of Obama' spast, what is this man trying to hide? "

Right on, it's not like he's written two books on the subject or anything. Oh...

people are focusing on the wrong issues with their financial records, wifes financial records, and picking apart their health records. If a Dr. says he is in good health and there is no danger than that should be it. If their wives don't cheat on their income taxes than fine. Who cares if they made a lot of money...is there is crime in that. These candidates need to focus on real issues and not dodge anymore issues. Neither candidate has clearly said what they will need to cut in their plans for the next few years. With the economic problems in this country neither can afford their lofty goals...what will they cut? neither has given a solid answer in three debates. What about Social Security/medicare in this country. Neither has given a substantial plan on how to salvage these programs that will be in trouble in the years to come.

WHERE IS McCAIN'S MEDICAL REPORT??????

McCAIN IS SICK, VERY VERY SICK.

McCAIN WILL DIE IN OFFICE IF ELECTED.

Probably nothing sinister; Biden's foreseeing that not all the president's decisions will necessarily be popular, but will be the right ones.

Although this gaffe is surely embarrassing for the Obama/Biden ticket, you must agree that it also shows deep foresight on the part of their campaign to anticipate such problems. Any president will face "tests" from enemies (Bush had 9/11, Clinton had WTC, etc) and if Obama's reponse to the present crisis so far, especially in contrast with McCain's actions, does not persuade that he is the readier CinC then probably nothing will. Mind you, if McCain does win, what quality has he unique from Obama's? The 'experience' he trumps is Senate experience. Besides, the president will be getting military 'experience' from advisers anyway, not his own. We need a decision-maker with cutting insight and acumen, and a "steady hand at the tiller". Unfortunately, he is just not McCain.

samhiguchi,
What family history? Obama's father died in a traffic accident and his mother died of ovarian cancer. Barack does not have overies, so his mother's death has no bearing on his longevity.

I do agree that all candidates have to give full disclosure on health history.

You gotta admit that this is funny:
