Biden is a member of the CFR. He may be a gasbag, but you don't spend 30+ years in the Senate without learning a few things.Hey may have learned "a few things"...but his learnings are in stark contrast to what I believe in. However; he has made a few good statements...like when he said Obama doesn't have what it takes to become President. I agree with him wholeheartedly there.
Biden is a member of the CFR. He may be a gasbag, but you don't spend 30+ years in the Senate without learning a few things. But do you really want a partisan Congresscritter elected to the position of President of the Senate?

STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator Biden, it seems like your colleagues here don't want to reach the judgment that you've made. Why isn't Senator Obama ready?
BIDEN: Look, I think he's a wonderful guy, to start off, number one. It was about Pakistan we were talking about. The fact of the matter is, Pakistan is the most dangerous, potentially the most dangerous country in the world. A significant minority of jihadists with nuclear weapons. We have -- and I disagree with all three of my friends -- we have a Pakistan -- we have no Pakistan policy; we have a Musharraf policy. That's a bad policy. The policy should be based upon a long-term relationship with Pakistan and stability.
We should be encouraging free elections. There is an overwhelming majority of moderates in that country. They should have their day. Otherwise, they're going to go underground.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But Senator Biden, you did go beyond talking about Pakistan. You were asked: Is he ready? You said, "I think he can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training."
BIDEN: I think I stand by the statement.

Thank you BO for handing us the 2008 elections on a platter
When I heard Biden attacking McCain, it sounds like Biden is being the President, not Obama. He's arrogant.
