Joe Biden, Mr. Wrong or the Truth Teller for Barack Obama?

[Sunday, October 25, 2009]
One commentator who often Assessing
THAT DAY, A few days after officially sworn in as president and vice president of the United States (U.S.) on January 20, Barack Obama and Joe Biden was in Room 450 Einshower Executive Office Building. They will take the oath of the White House staff.
Biden was scheduled to lead the event. But, former Delaware Senator was, apparently, forgotten. Obama also reminded him. ''Well, sorry, my memory is not as good as the Chief Justice (John) Roberts,''Biden said to laughter greeted almost everything in the room, except Obama. President to face the United States was even 44 pout.
As quoted The Christian Science Monitor, There are two reasons why Obama did not laugh. First, an incident that made Biden's jokes are embarrassing moment during the inauguration of himself and Biden on January 20 that should have never mentioned again. At that time, Roberts was one recite the oath the president, so Obama should''re-elected''next day at the White House.
The second reason, because for the umpteenth time since they won the election in November 2008, Biden back slip of the tongue. The man who married two times it throws gaffe aka sayings or jokes that are not in place.
Before the incident at the Executive Building Einshower it, Biden and his wife had a hot make Obama's ears when appearing in Oprah Winfrey Show. And, a month after the inauguration of the staff, in a news conference with Obama, Biden with the star that reckless economic policies the new government of 30 percent will likely fail.
''As usual, I do not know what is meant by Joe,''Obama said when asked to comment about his deputy's statement.
Some examples gaffe it was like to represent dilematisnya Biden positions on Obama's new government nine months: if the husband is known Jill Biden outspoken aka speak out frankly that Mr. Wrong or true Truth Teller?
Leading newsmagazine Newsweek prefer the latter: Biden is a transmitter of truth or Truth Teller. In a long report about Biden in the latest edition released last October 10 show, An Inconvenient Truth Teller, Newsweek Gonjang-ganjing mention the latest in the White House related to demand extra troops to Afghanistan as an example. Biden was the first to oppose the request extra 40 thousand soldiers who filed the U.S. forces commander in Afghanistan General Stanley McChrystal.
Biden suggests the U.S. is more concentrated to Pakistan because that is where Al Qaeda, which he considered more dangerous than the Taliban, now nesting. ''Al Qaeda hiding in Pakistan which has nuclear weapons,''he said in paper he gave a short name Counterterrorism-Plus.
Initially, these suggestions are contrary to public opinion in Washington that since the era of President George W. Bush is holding fast to the principle of Af-Pak aka Afghanistan and Pakistan. That is, Afghanistan is more important than Pakistan. But, later proved to Biden's ideas began to get support.
The most senior senators in the Senate from Democrat Robert C. Byrd questioned how much more money and the lives of U.S. soldiers who have sacrificed in Afghanistan. Jim McGovern, who is also a member of Congress from the Democrats, and even began campaigning for the need for legislation that provides opportunities withdrawal of U.S. troops. Some Republicans in the senate and congress also voiced similar.
Though not yet a final decision, Obama was reportedly beginning to soften because of Biden's suggestion. Fixed sending additional troops, but not as much as the amount requested McChrystal.
Why does not fully comply Obama Biden advice if the Republicans have supported? Issue here. Throughout his political career, Biden better known as Mr. Wrong, Politicians are often wrong in judging.
In 1990, he opposed the Gulf War that the U.S. eventually won it with a low cost. Then, 13 years ago, he actually supported the invasion of Iraq who later created endless trouble for Uncle Sam's country. And, in 2007, he refused to sending additional troops to Iraq that later proved to stabilize the situation in the country that night in 1001.
Biden used as a companion dipinang Obama because he is a safe choice. He is white and is considered experienced in handling foreign affairs, something which was not so controlled by Obama.
But, Obama might have forgotten, which is the overseas experience that Biden was actually a position as chairman of the Senate foreign committee. Biden was never in a position to take important decisions at all costs as Obama faced in the case of Afghanistan. Because, Biden never held an administrative position in the executive branch. Throughout his career, he was more like a commentator.
From there, perhaps, carelessness comes. Carelessness is reportedly becoming upset Obama and circle it. To the point, a senior adviser to Obama, as quoted by Bill Sammon Fox News, Said,''The biggest problem he (Biden) is that he could never shut her mouth.'' (war / ttg)
