So Obama picked Joe Biden for his running mate. If you didn't know this, for goodness sake people...watch the news. The article chosen expresses a concern that Obama's choice is his way of making up for his lack of experience. Because as we all know, or should know, Biden has been in office longer than half the population has been alive.
Righto. The questions next.
1. I've pretty much answered this already, but for conformity's sake, the article is about Barack Obama's choice of Joe Biden for his running mate. The analysis is showing that Obama is thought to have chosen Biden because of his years of experience, the area Obama is most criticized for lacking in. Yet Biden is also an expert in national defense, something else critics have harped on.
2. The audience is unfortunately media along with the general "political" public. We all know things like this go straight to the media. And this form of media is only leading to further, more exaggerated forms of media. -Sigh-.
3. The Interest in this article stems from my total support of Barack Obama and my concern with whom he chooses as his VP. Pretty simple to understand, I would think.
4. I knew that Biden had been chosen early this Saturday morning. I was actually half asleep when I learned it, so I ventured this morning to learn what critics were saying. Voila. Article.
5. Learned:
-Hillary Rodham Clinton didn't even make his short list. This kind of makes me happy. Considering the fact that the two together would make a very unhappy duo, I think she should definitely have been left out. As she was. :)
-I actually wasn't aware of Biden's experience with National Security. That's pretty sweet. haha.
-Controverrrrrrssyyyyyy.....Biden isn't exactly a change agent. I mean, he's been there for ages. So, if Obama is all about change...and Biden isn't the best for that particular scene..-gasp-. We just have to watch it unfold, I suppose.
6. My question: If it is known that Clinton didn't make the short list...who did? What were his options? Or was Biden some type of Hobson's choice or something?
There you are, kitten.
I am expecting some major criticism coming from you on this one Brandi. Talking about his inadequacy and other character flaws...yep.
Well, let's get this over with...

Hello, hello 'tis my Brittany! I'm here commenting on your blog, and the first thing I have to say is GO OBAMA! ha, what now world? So anyway, Biden might not be perfect, but overall he's a good pick. I completely agree that Obama is making up for what he lacks by picking him, which on his part is a smart decision. Biden knows nation defense and if he doesn't have experience no one does! It might be a decision based on a lack of confidence but so what if it helps him pick up a few more supporters=a few more votes! Yeah!
Well, that was fun, see you tomorrow!
I won't send any negative vibes your way. Why bother? My time is short with the end of the world at hand. Of course Obama had to pick Biden. He needed an old, white guy on the ticket to catch up on all those demographics that McCain has monopolized. Duh. My enthusiasm for the election has turned to apathy and I'll just continue to listen to REM over and over and over--it really is the end of the world as we know it.
And Kinsey, it is very interesting that your venture into the blogging world has become an outlet for all your threats and negativity towards the greatest teacher you have...
Obama is an evil man... an evil genius for picking Joe Biden as his running mate! Obviously he picked Biden because
1) He's chock full of experience.
2) He's a white male.
3) He supports the war.
and of course there are more reasons don't feel like telling them all though. The main point is that Biden is very different from Obama. This is a good thing because now Obama appeals to many different kinds of Americans (if they can get past the fact he's a Muslim). However, won't their differences cause conflict once in office (if they get there)? It won't when Biden suddenly "disappears" and is found dead in a ravine somewhere! Yeah, that's what Obama's plan is and yes I did just take some meds for my sinuses.
