GOP Group's Director Faults Biden Pick

Barack Obama doesn’t have the experience necessary to lead the country and his pick of a vice presidential running mate who is a "consumate D. C. insider" proves he recognizes that, a Republican leader said today.

Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, who was named Obama's running mate early Saturday, has been a critic of Obama’s foreign policy, said Matt Pinnell, director of Oklahoma Victory 2008.

"It is painfully clear Obama is trying to compensate for his lack of experience by selecting Biden," Pinnell said.

Biden, who twice failed in his bid to become president, is serving his sixth term in the U.S. Senate.

Said Pinnell: "For a candidate preaching 'change,' this pick makes no sense at all. Senator Biden is the consummate D.C. insider. How can anyone take seriously Senator Obama’s campaign rhetoric?"
