Strange Bedfellows

It is said that politics makes strange bedfellows. As a friend of mine would say, "That saying is wicked gay." With Barack Obama picking Joe Biden to be his running "mate" - I'm starting to think he has a valid metaphorical point. Seriously - does Obama have some sort of Daddy fixation or something? I mean has Obama and his people forgotten Joe Biden's opinion of their candidate so quickly?



John McCain's whole media message so far has been that Obama is not ready to lead. And what does Obama do in response? He picks the very man who very publicly has made that very point to be his running mate.

This is as strange a development to me as Microsoft pairing Bill Gates with Jerry Seinfeld. I mean Seinfeld made it a point to always have a Mac somewhere in his apartment in every season. Is Microsoft going to buy up the rights to those old Seinfeld shows and digitally re-master them to show a PC instead? If not the pairing of Gates and Seinfeld makes no sense.

And neither does the pairing of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
