Don't be deceived by spinning pundits who trumpet Obama's choice of Biden as a show of weakness. It is one more example of Obama's good judgment. It shows his wisdom when he draws people to him who will challenge, not just augment, his vision. He is not looking for rubber stamps.

We have seen what evils can occur when a president surrounds himself with and only listens to those of like mind. Barack Obama is a quick study, a man unafraid to learn from the mistakes of those who have gone before him. He will seek harmony in a diversity of views. He will be a president for all of us, not just for those who share his income bracket, a private agenda, and a loony sense of entitlement.

Joe Biden is a asset to the ticket. Barack Obama is the best candidate for president in 2008.
