Biden Announces "The Next POTUS, 'Barack America!'"

August 23rd, 2008 6:22 PM

I'm starting to wonder if Barack Obama and Joe Biden drank a little champagne to celebrate their partnership before speaking to the crowd Saturday in Springfield, Illinois.

First, Obama introduced his running mate as "The next president."

Then, Biden -- maybe over-compensating for his desire not to call the junior senator from Illinois "Osama" -- actually called him "Barack America!"

I kid you not, for the video embedded below the fold bears this out (photo courtesy AP):

Between the two of these geniuses, it's going to be a target-rich environment when they're not in front of teleprompters. This is why the RNC has just launched a new clock at its website counting down the minutes before Biden's next gaffe.

Go get 'em, boys!
