Yeah, and didn't Obama also chide McCain for not having accomplished much in his 25 years of service; yet he picks a man who has plagiarized and has served for 33 years?

Isn't the plagiarism what knocked Biden out of the running for higher office years ago?

Not offical VP yet.

It is already known since around midnight when his selection of Joe Biden as his running mate was leaked to media.

Yes it is correct. It happened when he campaigned in attempt to become a Democratic Presidential candidate during the 1988 President campgaign.

I think it is an excellent choice for Obama. Kind of deflects the arguments from the naysayers regarding Obama's "lack of experience". He has the intelligence to choice a running mate that puts that argument to rest, and also the wisdom to surround himself with those who have greater experience than does he. Typical feet on the ground, in touch with reality approach we have come to see in Obama. It reaffirms my confidence in his abilities.

which is explained in "The Lazy Millionaire" book and several other management books too. That's how you run the organization. You do not micromanage it. If he keeps up with hiring several more outstanding choices for important seats like Attorney General, Secretary of State, etc.... there's no doubt he will run the government the way he wants without having to be a nitpicky detailer. :cool2:

haha why not? Because of his plagiarism gaffe? I wasn't even aware of it... or maybe I completely forgot about it.

That's right.
 
During an interview last year, Biden said that there was no way he would accept the VP position.

Are you collecting some sort of subsidized income from your promotion of this particular book, or is it just the most recent one you've read?

nope. you talked about micromanaging... it brought up the old memory on my favorite books. Lazy Millionaire is the recent one I read and it pretty much refreshes the old golden rules from old books. Nothing new. Just that it's shorter and crispier. Took me only 2 quick hours to finish it.

I'm just trying to point out your flawed statement about management and apparently - you refused to recognize it. That's ok - You'll learn from it later in life..... that's if you'll ever get to management position.... which I highly doubt. :cool2:

Once again, you are confusing the topic. Try to stay focused. YOU brought up micromanaging in this thread. It isn't applicable.

No.

For someone who wants change, he picks a "Washington DC insider" for VP.

Plus the other issue is that by picking an insider for VP, Obama is showing what he lacks--leadership on foreign policy and economic issues.

Secondly--Biden is known to say inappropiate things at certain times and I'm not sure if I want that in a President or VP.

I guess I will have to wait and see who McCain picks for VP.

Perhaps he believes that change from the inside out is the most efficient and effective?
 
Today, I watched Olympic on TV then "Special Report". They talked about Obama and Biden. Obama is at Denver.
I glimpsed Obama knew sign "Thanks" to someone. Careful to look at TV. Something like 45 years old guy use his fingerspelling. I can't see any second deaf person or interpreter.
 
i watch cnn news at mcdonalds when im eat lunch and mr joe biden been senate for over 30 years but he had children but his previous first wife and his daughter killed in 1973. But im sure he really good man to become VP of USA im hope Obama would chose him.
 
So it is for sure Obama-Biden on the ticket???

Damn I was hoping for an Obama-Clinton ticket.

But depending on who McCain picks for VP will determine where my vote goes because as it stands, whoever will get the Presidency is a total crapshoot ATM.

or perhaps he's just grasping for straws :laugh2: ..... by trying to surround himself with experienced people even though he does not like them. NOW he's beginning to understand how politic and DC works. He'll realize his radical dream of "Future and Change" is all fantasy that will work in his talk and dream. Now that's NOT the kind of President I WANT AT WHITE HOUSE when he's still trying to figure out how the game works.

If McCain announces Romney as his VP - it's a done deal for me. McCain will be getting my vote.

Thank God I will be cancelling your vote.
