Back in October, two weeks before the election, Joe Biden warned that America's enemies would test Barack Obama with an international crisis within six months if he was elected president. "Mark my words," Biden told donors at a Seattle fund-raiser.
"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. Watch. We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. And he's going to need help . . . to stand with him. Because it's not going to be apparent initially; it's not going to be apparent that we're right."
Who could have known that one of the qualities Joe Biden would bring to the Democratic Ticket, and then, the Vice Presidency would be clairvoyance. His October predictions have been spot-on. To date, President Obama has shown that he has the requisite intelligence and capacity to allow his thinking to evolve into a positive response and course of action.
