RENO, Nev., Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, campaigning in Nevada Tuesday, said that Barack Obama is likely to create a crisis if he becomes president.

Palin was responding to a suggestion made by Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, that someone would create "a generated crisis to test the mettle of this guy," CNN reported. Biden was speaking at a fundraiser Sunday night.

"I guess we have to say 'Thanks for the warning, Joe,'" Palin told supporters in Reno.

Palin suggested that Obama's policies would create the crisis. She cited his statements that he would meet with Iranian leaders "without preconditions" and would withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq.

"I guess the looming crisis that worries the Obama campaign right now is Joe Biden's next speaking engagement," Palin said.

A spokesman for the Obama campaign said that the Democratic nominee would provide consistent leadership as president, "not the erratic lurching and stubborn ideology of John McCain."
