In an effort to show that Barack Obama wants to change Washington, D.C. from being run by old, white D.C. insiders, he announced yesterday that he was selecting an old, white, D.C. insider as his running mate.
And what does the old, white, D.C. insider think of Barack Obama for President?
Stephanopoulos, to Biden: “You were asked: ‘Is [Barack Obama] ready?’ You said, ‘I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.’”
Biden: “I think I stand by the statement.”
If his own running mate doesn’t think he’s ready or has the experience, why should the voters?
The best that Obama’s running mate can muster to say about him is that he’s the first “clean” black candidate. That ought to win over some swing voters.
But don’t worry. Biden wasn’t just targeting Obama with the “clean” comment… apparently he’s an equal opportunity racist. (Though the NY Times now thinks being a racist is a “strength” - I kid you not)
