Old guard Biden necessary for Obama to deal with Washington politics
Posted Mon, 2008-08-25 19:45
Throughout his run for the presidency Barack Obama has preached for change, change for the way things go on in Washington. Yet, despite his disdain for the deal-making tactics that exist, he has chosen as his running mate, Joe Biden, a senator with 35 years of experience and involvement in so-called Washington politics.
I assume Obama realizes that it is necessary to continue working with the vestiges of the "old guard" if he lacks experience in foreign policy and in overall government administration.
Voters have come to realize his limitations in overall experience.His entire adult life has been devoted to the practice of law and serving as an elected politician.
Obama has no business experience or involvement in the affairs of the economy. Becoming president of the United States requires a wide range of experiences dealing with issues of every day life. It demands substance, more than flair.
