Senator Barack Obama

WTF, Joe?!

I absolutely agree with Josh:

Do we need to remind Joe Biden he was hired to take the gloves off.

Late Update: Am I actually seeing more examples of Obama hitting Palin than Biden? WTF, not Obama's job.

With the exception of the Iraq section, Senator Biden's Meet the Press appearance was a complete waste of the campaign's time and energy -- and a huge waste of an opportunity. I can't emphasize enough how mediocre and soft-edged he was. More compliments for McCain; profuse compliments of Palin's speech -- including glowing praise for the "actual responsibilities" line. Goddamn.

If Biden's like that with Palin in the VP debate, this thing is over.

Meanwhile, Senator Obama was outstanding on This Week despite Stephanopoulos' interruptions. His only gaffe was, "My Muslim faith," when he meant to say, "My Christian faith." Expect to see that in some 527 ads and all over talk radio.
