Our government is long overdue for a thorough house cleaning. Vote them all out and start over.

Joe Biden was picked as VP by Barack because he brought "foreign policy" experience. Where did he get that experience? Biden has been a policitician in DC since he was 23 years old. I did not realize that DC was considered a foreign post.

I suppose it could be argued that what passes for "normal" in DC is foreign to the realities of daily life everywhere else. The direction of the bulk of policies that stem from DC are certainly foreign to any policies embracing anything resembling common sense.

And where are YOUR original thoughts? It's a forum..a place to discuss...not a place to criticize and then run away and hide like a sissy.

HAHA!! I think maybe obama got confused about what his handlers told him at the time and picked the left winger who was most FOREIGN.

He served on and was chair of the senate foreign relations committee for many years. I would say that is a lot of foreign policy experience. If you disagree, how does one obtain foreign policy experience in your opinion?

Sitting on a committee is not experience. Holding a post in the diplomatic corp or serving as an officer in the military overseas helps. How about having a job with an international corportation that requires foreign travel.

Before becoming elected to the millinaires' club we call the US Congress. They do have a salary that classifies as millionaire. I wonder who paid old Joe's transportation charges when he rode the train from Maryland to DC daily before the VP days.

I would appreciate you really reading my posts especially when I mention you without saying your name. Did I not say that I see Foot in Mouth the same as long before I ever knew about that blog? Oh well, you have to have something to bring your left leaning thinking to bear and this works for you among your friends. Hey there is only one of them here right now. Maybe you need to invite some of them in.
