CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 21, 2008
IN MANY YEARS OF COVERING AND PAYING ATTENTION TO POLITICS, I’VE HEARD A LOT OF STRANGE STUFF, BUT THIS ONE IS NEAR THE TOP.
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOE BIDEN PREDICTS THAT IF BARACK OBAMA IS ELECTED PRESIDENT HE WILL FACE AN INTERNATIONAL CRISIS WITHIN HIS FIRST SIX MONTHS IN OFFICE. BIDEN SAYS IT COULD COME FROM ANY ONE OF SEVERAL PLACES – RUSSIA, OR THE MIDDLE EAST HE MENTIONED. BUT THEN, SPEAKING OF OBAMA AND HOW THE CRISIS WILL BE DELIBERATE IN ORDER TO TEST HIS METTLE, BIDEN SAID THIS: “HE’S GONNA NEED YOUR HELP. AND THE KIND OF HELP HE’S GONNA NEED…NOT FINANCIALLY TO HELP HIM – WE’RE GONNA NEED YOU TO USE 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.”
SO, AN UNKNOWN AND UNPREDICTABLE CRISIS WILL REQUIRE AN UNKNOWN AND UNPREDICTABLE RESPONSE FROM A PRESIDENT OBAMA, BUT HIS SKILLS ARE SO MESSIAH-LIKE THAT IN ADVANCE WE ARE TO SUPPORT HIM IN HIS RESPONSE BECAUSE HE WILL BE RIGHT, EVEN IF IT MIGHT APPEAR THAT HE IS WRONG. THIS IS HUBRIS ON STEROIDS. I’M CAL THOMAS IN WASHINGTON.
Interesting stuff here...
By the way, hubris means arrogant.
No matter what we believe in regards to voting, we MUST believe and engage in actively praying for our future!

I listened to that comment yesterday! I cannot believe that 1/2 the U.S., does not seem to be concerned by Obama/Biden. Do I dare say, that he might fit what the bible describes, as an antichrist? Although, there is much to be concerned with, people seem to, or choose to, be fooled.
And, I agree with you that we need to be praying, and also trusting that God has a plan for us, even if Obama is President.
yes sir... i saw that biden comment on fox, and it was sorta like oh my.....
i hadn't heard any of this. it's a little unsettling. and yes, we must continue to pray. i have absolutely no doubt that God will place in office the man He wants there, even if His purpose may remain unclear to us for some time....
Really strange stuff by Biden...
I just read an AP poll that has the candidates running even.
Our absentee ballots are due to be in our mail delivery this coming Tuesday. They will be filled out, signed and returned on the same flight back to the States and mailed the very next day. No way do I want to miss my chance to vote.
For sure on this election, every vote will count!
But no matter what, it will all be in the hands of our King of Kings~~
