As if ten days abroad wasn't sufficient foreign policy experience for our would be world leader, Senator Obama chose a running mate of self acclaimed authority and expertise in the affairs of nations, Senator Joseph Biden. The Senator's first exercise in vice presidential candidacy didn't disappoint. He relieved himself of a weeks worth of rhetorical bloat and bombast. Specifically it was loud, repetitive, hackneyed, vague, and factually challenged. Its leit motif was that John McCain and George Bush share the same ideological bar code. Throw in a few snide remarks, expressions of gratitude and a quasi religious tone when describing Mr. Obama and there you have it . Boiler plate by Biden, for a change.
