Given that Senator Biden has already said that Senator Obama is not ready to lead and that Senator McCain is, I found the following hilarious:
Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, must have known it was coming, but he still sought divine intercession before tackling the question.
When a member of the audience here [...]

Says it all, really:

First of all, I think this kind of thing is entirely fair game. Secondly, it’s hilarious. Thirdly, ouch. What better way to make the point that, in fact, a man who has spent more time running for President than not since his election to the Senate is not qualified to win?

The most notable paragraph:
The problem of Barack Obama’s relationship with Bill [...]

Byron York has more good points on the Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency on National Review Online. Worth a read.

Obama says the question of when babies obtain human rights is “above his pay grade.” This has to be one of the very most ill-advised things any major candidate has said, thus far in the election cycle.
