Inexperience vs. Experience

“Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.”

“Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

“He’s gonna have to make some really tough - I don’t know what the decision’s gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it’s gonna happen.”

“We’re going to face a major international challenge. Because they’re going to want to test him, just like they did young John Kennedy. They’re going to want to test him. And they’re going to find out this guy’s got steel in his spine.”

"And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

Senator Joe Robinette Biden, the Democrat Vice-Presidential candidate, uttered the above quotes. Do his words scare you? They should. He is saying that our enemies will do something to see how much they can get away with if Senator Barack Hussein Obama becomes the President of the United States. Let’s think this through.

In a sense, Senator Joe Robinette Biden is correct. Since World War II, our enemies have tested all of our President, with Soviet Russia being the main instigator. Since World War II, our Presidents were tested with the Cold War, the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, China turning to Communism, the rise of Islamic terrorism. The many ways our various Presidents have been tested are too numerous to mention.


While I do not want to demean the past, to be blunt these tests have all happened outside the United States. But that changed on September 11, 2001.

January 2001 we witnessed the inauguration of President George Walker Bush. His first test came when the Chinese Communists forced down one of our planes in their territory. Then came September 11, 2001 when Islamic terrorists decided to push the United States by testing President Bush on our own shores. The citizens learned that day that no longer will the tests imposed on the United States by our enemies will remain overseas.

Up until that time, when our enemies tested our presidents, these “tests” were far from our shores. While our citizens took notice of how their Presidents reacted, the thought that what happened was not in the United States and did not drastically affect us. In the late 1970’s that started to change when Islamic terrorists tested our Presidents by actively targeting our embassies, our citizens, and our military personnel. The ultimate test occurred September 11, 2001. Now Senator Joe Robinette Biden says an inexperienced junior Senator will have to make a decision that the majority of us will not understand and/or like. Do you want to take that risk?

Listen below to the plans Senator Barack Hussein Obama has for the United States if he becomes President –




September 11, 2001 proved that we are vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Remember when President Reagan took office and the Iranians released our kidnapped embassy personnel that same day? Why? Because the Iranians knew, that President Reagan was not going to mess around. He was going to get those hostages back.

Now we have an individual poised to be President of the United States who – by his own words – has stated he wants to weaken us militarily and has stated he would meet with our Islamic enemies without pre-conditions. Do you want to risk the deaths of citizens living in New York, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Chicago, Norfolk, San Diego, or in any other United States citizen? Do you want to risk a nuclear device or a dirty nuclear device detonated in any of our cities? Do you want to risk the attack and possible destruction of Israel?

I don’t and that is why I am voting for Senator John Sydney McCain. If he had just graduated from the United States Naval Academy and then did nothing else in his life, he still would have done and achieved more than Senator Obama has ever done in his life. However, let’s not forget what else Senator McCain has done.

He was a naval aviator, sitting ready on the deck of an aircraft carrier prepared to defend the United States in case the Soviet Union escalated the Cuban Missile Crisis into a nuclear war. He survived a horrendous fire onboard the USS Forrestal, a fire that nearly sank that aircraft carrier. On a mission during the Viet Nam War, the North Vietnamese shot down his aircraft, took him prisoner of war, and for 5 ½ years they severely beat and tortured him. His captors gave him the chance to go home early. I would not blame him if he took that offer. Nevertheless, he held firm to his core beliefs and training, saying no all the while knowing his decision would only get him more beatings. He has looked evil and death in the eye and made the right decisions. He has made life and death decisions.

Again, think who you would rather be the President if Iran drops a nuke on Israel. Or if bombs are set off in our cities. Or if biological or chemical weapons are released in the United States. It is dangerous lunacy to believe that Senator Barack Hussein Obama will make the right decision to either protect or avenge this nation.
