Team Obama confident Biden can take on Ryan despite new gaffe

DANVILLE, Va.— The Obama campaign said Tuesday it is confident Vice President Biden will be an effective foil against GOP vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan despite his latest gaffe.

Biden on Tuesday made headlines when he told a crowd here that the GOP ticket’s policies would put “y’all back in chains.” The remark was about Wall Street regulations, but the Romney campaign seized on the imagery of slavery to say Biden and Obama had hit a new low.

The unscripted comments highlighted Biden’s propensity for off-the-cuff statements —which at times have caused the White House embarrassment. But Biden aides say the occasional slip-ups are far outweighed by the positives that the vice president brings to the table.

“Vice President Biden has been the president’s partner and top surrogate on the campaign trail and no one is fighting harder to ensure the president is reelected in November,” a campaign official said. “He continues to travel across the country making the case for what’s truly at stake in this election and why President Obama is the right choice for middle class workers and their families.”

I’d like to have some popcorn, but I can’t make it. I need the government to make it for me.

Ryan will have a tough time debating Biden, because Biden will make things up left and right. And the enabling media, enemies of We The People, will give the lying dead drunk cover, so the lies will be touted as brilliance (from an alcoholic burnt out brain).

Every time there is an article about Biden, someone should post a picture of Dan Quayle with the phrase “ Do you miss me yet?”

I have never watched a political debate,
_____________________________________________________________

To doc1019: Unbelievable. I would be ashamed to admit that I was that uninterested in, and ignorant of, what people stand for who want to govern this nation. When I read that comment that you made, it helped me understand your tagline. If you never saw any of the Debates, how can you even begin to form the opinion as stated in you tagline: “Romney will NEVER get my vote”. IMO, people like, you and the Rap thugs in the ghettos, who don’t know sh*t from Shinola about where the candidates stand on issues, should not even be allowed to vote.

A boy from Penn. saying y’all. Give me a break.

Well, Black people say “y’all” regardless of what part of the country they’re in. But, check this out: Did anyone notice that his voice changed when he said that? He was trying to sound like an old, Black man..... For those of you who remember Kingfish on the Amos and Andy Show from the ‘50s, that’s who it appeared that he was trying to sound like.

I’m just one of those individuals that can’t stand debates, arguments or things contested on an open stage. Just me.

Biden was in Virginia and said: “I think we’re going to carry North Carolina”. He didn’t even know where he was.

Joe is used to having his intelligence questioned. Here he was in 1988:

Good managers hire people smarter than they are. Bad managers hire people not quite as smart as they are.

You're right. Romney showed us something very encouraging when he picked Ryan. He's NOT needy and insecure. He wants the best team possible. That's good for the country.

Conversely when Obama picked Biden he showed us his weakness - that he needs to feel superior those those around him. Biden wasn't a good choice for the country. He's not smart enough to handle the job of President if circumstances moved him into that spot... - Obama didn't care. Obama put himself first and the country second. It's telling. Thanks for sharing Antiyuppie.
