Today, I reached the conclusion that Barack Obama harmed his chances of being elected president when he selected his running mate. In much the same way a certain weight-loss product gained notoriety for its potential side effects after being introduced last year, the “side effects” of his “alli-ance” with Joe Biden could derail Obama’s White House bid.

The weight-loss product in question, alli™, gained FDA approval as an over-the-counter weight-loss product last year, and news about the product’s potentially-horrible “treatment effects” surfaced soon after it’s release. According to the alli™ web site, those effects “may experience oily spotting, loose stools and more frequent, hard-to-control stools.”

Similarly, the U.S. senator from Delaware gained BHO approval as a vice presidential running mate last month and was followed soon after by news about his track record of making inexplicable and/or stupid statements (a.k.a., “side effects”) on the campaign trail.

According to one news report, Biden’s propensity for off-color remarks earned him the title of “gaffe machine” from NBC news anchor Brian Williams. Gaffes like those committed by Biden — see examples here and here — represent the political equivalent of oily spotting, loose stools and more frequent, hard-to-control stools.

In a recent article, one doctor-columnist wrote this about alli™:

Well, that’s certainly one way to go. The other might be to just eat a low-fat diet, exercise and SKIP THE DRUG and its oily “treatment” effects. Put the savings into the bank or join a health club, activities that will have long-term benefits.

Considering all of the evidence, it appears Obama might have avoided a political “weight” problem by selecting someone other than Biden. But that’s okay with me. After all, MY PIT BULL WEARS LIPSTICK!

Sarah Palin has quite a record; Senator Biden does also:

"If Sara Palin were campaigning for President, she probably would not have made the centerpiece of that campaign a cockamamie plan to divide Iraq into three autonomous regions.

Sarah Palin probably would not have told General Petraeus that he was "dead flat wrong" on the surge.

Sarah Palin probably would not have voted against the first Gulf War.

Sarah Palin probably would not have opposed the United States designation of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization.

Sara Palin probably would not have told top Israeli officials, as reported in the Israeli press, that Israel would just have to learn to live with a nuclear-armed Iran.

Sara Palin probably would not have assumed that the answer to failed diplomatic negotiations with Iran was more diplomatic negotiations with Iran.

The word "probably" must be used because we can only speculate on the basis of her barracuda-like instincts.

But there is one thing of which we can be sure: If Sarah Palin had been in the Senate in 1973, she would not have been one of the five Senators opposing the Alaska Pipeline Bill."
