Obama Picks Biden as Running Mate…
Barack Obama has made his vice presidential pick: The first term Senator will tap his more experienced colleague, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., to join the Democratic ticket.

He’s chaired both the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Judiciary Committee, and raised his profile recently by traveling on a fact-finding mission to war-torn Georgia, where he called for increased U.S. aid to the country and peacekeeping forces.
The trip underscored his vast foreign policy experience — something that is lacking from Obama’s resume. Biden is also thought to be someone who could hold his own during a vice presidential debate.
I will continue to pray for you my brother. It will continue to be a daily struggle, remember what the Bible says… test the spirit by the spirit. Keep your enemies close… strangers unaware.
Be Blessed!
