The Obama campaign is looking confused today, with Barack and Biden criticizing one another. Perhaps this is all happening to compensate for Biden's inability to stick to the talking points. First, Joe told Katy Couric yesterday that the Obama ad attacking John McCain on his lack of computer use was terrible!

And in an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today Show this morning, Barack was forced to criticize Joe Biden for saying the same thing about the AIG bailout that John McCain said.

Lauer was talking about how Obama hit Sen. McCain for flip-flopping on the AIG bailout -- saying he opposed it one day then announce he supported it the next day.

But, as Lauer pointed out, scarcely three minutes after McCain said he opposed the AIG bailout last week, "in an interview with Meredith Vieira, Joe Biden, your running mate was asked the exact same question, 'should the federal government bailout AIG?' And he said, 'No, the federal government should not bailout AIG.'" (As we noted at the time.) "And I think that in that situation," Obama said, "I think Joe should have waited as well."
