Biden: “Obama not ready”

If Joe Biden is to be Obama’s VP, as it appears is the case, then you can look forward to this quote being thrown around a lot (it already has).  This is an exchange between George Stephanopolous and Biden in 2007:

STEPHANOPOULOS:  You were asked, “Is he ready?”

You said, “I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is.  The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the- job-training.”

BIDEN:  I think that — I stand by the statement.

This is one of those gaffes where people accidently tell the truth in a way they will regret.  Obama isn’t qualified and Biden knew it.  Now he gets to try and explain himself.  Should be fun
