The Twittersphere Reacts to Biden's Nomination

This morning, around 3:28 a.m. EST, subscribers to Presidential candidate Barack Obama's text messages received the ultimate announcement – that Obama had finally selected a running mate. His choice? Joe Biden, a senator from Delaware. Although the news was leaked as early as 2:00 a.m. EST, few members of the Twittersphere had anything to say about it. Instead, their reactions were based on Obama's selection of Biden.

From Denmark, Svanes was disappointed with Obama's choice:

    OBAMA “HOPES” WE WON’T NOTICE HOW OFTEN HE “CHANGES” HIS MIND!

    WHY WAS OBAMA SO INTERESTED IN HOW MANY HOMES McCAIN OWNS?

    OBAMA AND McCAIN ARE BOTH MULTI-MILLIONNAIRES! WHO CARES! THEY BOTH HAVE EXPERIENCED “THE AMERICAN DREAM”. McCAIN IS ALSO AN INVESTOR. PORTFOLIOS CHANGE DAILY. APPARENTLY OBAMA HAS NO BUSINESS SENSE.

    IS OBAMA WORRIED THAT McCAIN MAY HAVE HOMES IN ALL OF OBAMA’S 57 STATES? IS OBAMA JUST STUPID OR WHAT?

    OBAMA KEEPS SCREWING UP — WE DON’T NEED AN EXPERIENCED “VICE PRESIDENT” — JOE BIDEN.

    WE NEED AN EXPERIENCED, QUALIFIED “PRESIDENT” — JOHN McCAIN IN 2008!

    One of the funniest things I’ve heard all year was when Obama was asked in an interview what makes a good VP? And he said “experience” — isn’t that a hoot!?

    From the man with less experience than everybody — suddenly, it is all about qualifications! Hillary had more experience and 18 million voters!

    Well, you know folks, that is how those leftist operate. You gotta agree to bring them on board with less qualifications and experience, but when it is their turn to help you — suddenly, they hold firm to the most ridiculous standards.

    Biden does not change the nature of the race. At the end of the day, we will vote for a president — not a vice president!

    WE NEED AN EXPERIENCED, QUALIFIED “PRESIDENT” — JOHN McCAIN IN 2008!
