In a rare moment of candor from a politician, Barack Obama’s vice presidential candidate Democrat Senator Joe Biden told the truth. At a Seattle fundraiser on Sunday 19 October, Biden issued this dire warning to the American people and the world: “Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama…” and “remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
