OBAMA VP DAY!

Yes, it's Obama VP day! Which means short little fill-in news about Obama's Vice Presidential pick. Who is it? Well, surprisingly is Joe Biden, senior senator from Delaware.

So why is it so unexpected? Well, let's just say you'd have an easier time keeping Bill in like than you would with Joe. I mean, this is the guy that said that Obama was not ready for the Presidency, and that he was the only recent 'clean' black man to run. Now, of course that meant clean, as in nothing hiding in the closet (though it turns out there is A LOT there), instead of clean, as in cleanly. But let's ignore that little blunder, since there are other parts to this whole flop.

Biden said has been in the Senate for longer than McCain, so there goes the whole "change" and evil "Washington insiders" stuff...hopefully, since it would make Obama to look like a it of a hypocrite. Biden also has said that he would be happy to serve for McCain if asked, and had nothing but compliments for the Senator from Arizona up until he was called on for "The One's" VP pick.

Overall, Biden isn't going to help Obama much. I mean, all he bring in is his Foreign Policy experience, which will end up showing Obama extremely inexperienced. He also doesn't bring any states into play, with the exception for parts of Pennsylvania. Oh, and of course the attack-dog part, though that is debatable since that's usually were all the controversy starts. Seems like Obama failed in his first decision: picking a VP.
