American Jewish observers are grasping at straws if they think Senator Joe Biden, as vice-president, will have the authority (or even the will) to be a foil against Barack Hussein Obama's radicalism, political ambition, and pro-Palestian bent.
"Many American Jewish observers welcomed Barack Obama's selection of Senator Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate. As a member of the Senate since 1973, and the serving Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden is a seasoned political player and a foreign policy heavyweight. His experience, it is argued, will make up for Obama's inexperience; his moderate liberal views will make up for Obama's radical liberal views."
What power do they think is vested in a vice-president to thwart the will of a president?
Since when do you elect a president on the basis that his vice-president will keep him in check? What is Biden to be, the house detective?
Almost to a man (and woman), Barack Hussein Obama's colleagues, friends, mentors, and associates have a tender spot in their hearts (and a soft spot in their heads) for the cause of Hamas, Hezbollah, Ahmadamnjihad of Iran, and other enemies of America.
Listen to the "sermons" of his spiritual mentor and erstwhile uncle, the-not-so Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Listen to the "sermons" of his closet supporter and fellow southside Chicago "community organizer" Minister Louis Farakhan.
Listen to the rantings of his Columbia University colleague and close pro-Palestinian friend Rashid Khalidi (the man responsible for the invitation to Ahmadamnjihad to speak during his U.N. visit).
An Obama presidency would be the stuff of a Tom Clancy novel.
In his book, "The Audacity of Hope" (named after a "sermon" from his racist-radical anti-American, pro-Palestinian 20 year pastor), Barack Hussein Obama wrote:
"In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans...have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging," he laments. "I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
Bill Clinton was responsible for selling top-secret computer and missile technology to the Chinese...
Barack Obama, I'm afraid, would find a new set of contributors to finance his unbridled ambitions (as is already being evidenced by the nearly $30,000 his campaign has received from contributors with ties to Hamas in Gaza).
A man who would take $300,000 from a man like Antonin "Tony" Rezko (who was under federal investigation at the time), in order to finance his home, is a man who is not above bribery and blackmail.
American Jewish observers have every reason to be concerned about the frightening consequences of a Barack Hussein Obama presidency.
Looking to his vice president (whether Joe Biden or anyone else) to prevent this arrogant, pompous, radical, and wrong-headed egomaniac to exert more influence on his decisions than his radical colleagues?
To the extent this fantasy provides them any comfort...
...it's cold-comfort, indeed.
