Yesterday, COB6 wrote about Biden’s latest antics scaring folks by telling us that Obama is going to be “tested” by some nebulous power. Michelle Malkin<\/a> wrote to Biden, “God bless ya for telling the truth about your running mate\u2019s dangerous inexperience.”<\/p>\n

But, ya know, that’s fine if he wants to play seer and predict the future. In fact, given the events of recent history, it’s more than likely that scenario will play out. al Qeada attacked the World Trade Center a few weeks after Bill Clinton became president. The Chinese tested GW Bush a few weeks after he took office when they knocked down a reconaissance flight.<\/p>\n

But what they didn’t do after those events was plead for people to stand with them like Biden did yesterday<\/a>;<\/p>\n

“And [Obama is] gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know a little bit about leadership having led troops into combat. Never once did I have to tell my troops that I needed their support, that I needed them at all. I made decisions and they followed my instructions because they trusted my judgement. In other words, I led them.<\/p>\n

General Powell, who should know better, Sunday touted Obama’s “potential” to be a great leader. Everyone I ever saw get promoted to a leadership position because of their “potential” usually failed. When I was promoted to leadership positions, it wasn’t because of my potential, it was because of my demonstrated ability to lead. Because I was up to the task, I always succeeded where others had failed.<\/p>\n

As it’s been said, there’s no room for on-the-job training in the presidency. Both Biden and Obama are woefully underqualified for the job. In fact, the only reason they think they deserve those positions is because of their unusually large egos.<\/p>\n

John McCain, however, has demonstrated leadership among his fellow POWs, after the Vietnam War as a career military officer and in the Senate. So why would we be willing to accept a President and Vice President who need training wheels, when we have a trained and tested leader waiting in the wings?<\/p>\n

A good number of people have forgotten that the President is supposed to lead the nation, not coddle and pacify us with handouts. The world is a dangerous place, as Joe Biden reminds us, and we don’t need a pair of crybaby sissies begging us for our support while the dust is clearing from the next inevitable attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
