Satire By John W. Lillpop
If flip flopping were an Olympic event, Barack Obama would have won enough gold medals to buy all of those missing McCain mansions outright, and still have sufficient scratch left to treat Oprah Winfrey to lunch.
By naming Joe Biden as his running mate, the Anointed One has set an all-time world record for prevarication, said record subject to being superseded by Obama himself, at any time, without advance warning.
Oddly enough, this fellow was supposed to be all about CHANGE, CHANGE, and still more CHANGE, remember?
To date, the only CHANGE that Obama has consistently brought to the table is an all- too- frequent change of his bloody mind on vital issues of the day!
Nominating Joe Biden for the vice presidency to run under the banner of CHANGE is another stunning example of Obama's inexperience, lack of commitment to anything except acquisition of raw power, and world class flip- flop skills.
Good grief, with 35 years under his belt in the US Senate, Senator Joseph Biden is the quintessential Washington insider. If ever there was a poster child for the anti-change status quo, it would be the senior senator from Delaware!
More Proof: Democrat Joe Biden has not changed his hairpiece in 20 years!
Oh, and by the way, Joe Biden will be 66 in October.
Which means that Biden is darn near as old as John McCain and is a smidgen older than Hillary Clinton is.
According to ageist hate speech used by Team Obama against both McCain and Hillary, they are "old school" fogies," out of touch with any American who can still walk about on his or her own, and for whom sex is more important than comfortable dentures and a clean bed pan.
Fathoming why Biden's 66 trumps McCain's 72, or Hillary's 61, when it comes to being in sync with younger voters is beyond this writer's pay grade. As such, it is best left for historians to sort out in the decades to follow.
Biden has other shortcomings, including the fact that he is an angry white male and an attorney.
Which begs the following question: Can the American electorate, starved as it is for CHANGE, be placated by placing an old, angry white male with a law degree just a heart beat away from the presidency?
Still, this is Obama's show, and there ARE positive qualities that Biden brings to the ticket:
First and foremost, Joseph Biden is NOT Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In and of itself, that is enough to endear Biden to millions of voters who would like to keep the White House "b**** free," for at least four more years.
Next, Biden has a unique capacity for sticking his foot into his mouth with inappropriate, politically incorrect, and or incendiary remarks.
If fact, if sticking your foot in your mouth was an Olympic event, Joe Biden would have nearly as much gold to his credit as Obama, flip-flopping champ of all time.
How might Biden's non-stop adventures in a quagmire of faux pas benefit the ticket?
Elementary, really: It will keep snoopy news reporters pre-occupied with chasing down the latest "Biden Eruption."
Thus, the media will be too busy to delve into Obama's Jihadist past, involvement with sleazy underground characters, or his relationship with his half-brother, left to wilt in abject poverty in Kenya.
Some might ask, "But, what about Biden's despicable dabbling in plagiarism?"
Friends, this is what makes the Obama-Biden bonding so special:
Barack Obama has never written anything worth stealing, so all his jottings would be perfectly safe, even with Joseph Biden free to roam the White House!
