Was Biden's Prophecy Right, Except For The Timing?............by Dan Friedman

Joe Biden back on October 20, 2008:

"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."

You could argue Biden’s prophecy has already been fulfilled more than once. But no “international crisis” Obama has yet faced compares to a multi-front war involving Gaza, Lebanon, Egypt, the PLO and NATO member Turkey against Israel. Nothing that came before would be a greater test of “the mettle of this guy” – his true allegiances and ideology – than that.

It was not six months, it was two years and ten months until JFK was tested. Turns out he wasn't bullet-proof :-P

Biden never gets much of anything right, does he?
