Obama’s VP No Change at All

Fussin’ and Fumin’ has now returned. It was just a short pause. But it is important for us to inject our valuable opinion into the political spectrum. Most (as in almost 100%) of the experts have a career to look out for or are just plain out of touch. We here at F&F, as we are affectionately called by the political pundits, have no personal agenda and no career in politics. It is just our valued opinion that we present.

With the selection of Senator Joseph Biden to be his VP Nominee, Obama has essentially declared that he is really not for change after all. Biden has been in the Senate since 1972. If you are mathematically challenged that’s thirty-six, 3-6, years. He is extremely zealous in his viewpoints and his dealings with other elected officials. He is 65 year old which just about negates the age issue as far as McCain is concerned.

The big mystery for the past several days was who Obama would choose. It was a “secret,” only to be revealed by text message at the appropriate time for dramatic effect. Well it’s a little hard to keep that secret when Fox News reports that a private jet sent by the Obama gang had landed in Delaware. And just on the eve of the supposed VP announcement.

But before Biden gets on the fulltime campaign trail, he might have “a little ‘splain’ to do.”

Biden has been quoted in the past with these beauties:

"I am not running for vice president. I would not accept it if anyone offered it to me. The fact of the matter is I'd rather stay as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee than be vice president."

“…not ready to be President.” In addition to cutting down his foreign policy experience.

Well, Joe, how’s that workin’ for ya?
