Amanda Carpenter: Little Slip Up
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog —
RNC guys are calling this "freudian." “Barack Obama sounded as though he turned over the top spot on the ticket today to his new mentor, when he introduced Joe Biden as the next president. The reality is that nothing has changed since Joe Biden first made his assessment that Barack Obama is not ready to lead. He wasn’t ready then and he isn’t ready now.” -- Ben Porritt, McCain Spokesman
Maybe this is the Biden-Obama ticket?

Maybe this is the Biden-Obama ticket? posted at 4:06 pm on August 23, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly The McCain campaign is already referring to Joe Biden as Barack Obama’s mentor, and in his introduction of his new running mate, Obama seemed to agree. Obama forgot which person would run for which job, as you can see in his introduction of Biden at his rally in Springfield: Let me introduce to you the next President … the next Vice-President of the United States of America … Joe Biden! Well, maybe the reverse would make more sense, given Obama’s utter lack of experience. Obama himself just underscored the importance of ...
Apparently, even Obama's down with the "he's too inexperienced to lead" meme.

Although one wishes that he'd do the obvious thing, then.
A little thing, but at best a gaffe, and at worst a tacit
admission:
How Ben Porritt of the McCain campaign put it:
"Barack Obama sounded as though he turned over the top spot on
the ticket today to his new mentor, when he introduced Joe Biden as
the next president. The reality is that nothing has changed since
Joe Biden first made his assessment that Barack Obama is not ready
to lead. He wasn’t ready then and he isn’t ready now."
My take:

Republicans jump fast on "Freudian slip"
Jonathan Martin's Blog —
Mere minutes after Joe Biden wrapped up his maiden speech as Barack Obama's running mate, McCain's camp and the RNC gleefully seized upon what they called a "Freudian slip" in Obama's introduction.
After almost doing it earlier in his speech, Obama got caught up in his closing crescendo and predicted that it's Biden who would be "the next president of the United States."
“Barack Obama sounded as though he turned over the top spot on the ticket today to his new mentor, when he introduced Joe Biden as the next president," quipped McCain spokesman Ben Porritt in an insta-statement.

Barack America!
We learned two things today: Barack Obama's secret Super Hero name and that Joe Biden is really the one running for president. Who knew?
Barack America and President Biden? Ooops…
When introducing Senator Joe Biden as his new running mate, Barack Obama slipped and almost declared the Senator from Delaware as the next Commander-in-Chief:
"Let me introduce to you the next President — the next Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden."
Quick on the draw, the McCain press office hammered ...

Obama-Biden -- Just What Most Republicans Would Have Picked
Rhymes With Right —
To give maximum advantage to the GOP . Barack Obama has chosen Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate, a pick designed to shore up the Illinois senator's foreign policy credentials in advance of the November election against John McCain. Biden's selection was confirmed by a Democratic source after an evening of speculation that centered on the Delaware senator when it was reported that the other top contenders were no longer under consideration. Biden had been considered the frontrunner for the job in recent weeks -- a position confirmed by a last-minute, unscheduled trip last weekend to meet with ...
