During the Democratic debates, Joe Biden re iterated his belief that although Barack Obama may one day be qualified to be President, he is not qualified right now. Rather than run his campaign on experience (of which he has very little), Obama has chosen to run on the symbolic words of ‘Hope’ and ‘Change’. When questioned about his experience, and what makes him qualified to be Commander in Chief, Obama will speak of his judgment, the judgment to make the right decision the first time out of the gate.

Six months ago, Joe Biden questioned Obama’s experience, and just yesterday, he questioned his judgment.

“Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America - let’s get that straight,” Biden said testily after a voter said he was “very pleased” that Democratic nominee Barack Obama had chosen him instead of Clinton.

“She is qualified to be President of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America and, quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me,” the Delaware senator added forcefully. “I mean that sincerely, she is first- rate.”

“It’s very interesting that when it comes down to Barack Obama’s biggest decision of the presidential election in choosing a vice president, the man that he selects says that he himself was the wrong choice, and that Hillary Clinton would have been a better fit,” said Ben Porritt, a spokesman for GOP veep nominee Sarah Palin.

Is it possible that Barack Obama could have chosen a worse Vice President than Biden? I am sure it was, however somehow I doubt Michael Moore would have been interested in running. In Biden’s favor, he has a lifetime of experience in Congress, however not all of that experience has been positive. Biden has been known to choose his words poorly when speaking off the cuff, and his recent admission that Hillary would have been a better choice is a prime example of that.
