Damage Control: Obama Campaign Tries to Spin Biden's Bizarre Debate Behavior

The Obama campaign is struggling to respond to mounting criticism of Vice President Joe Biden's bizarre behavior during last night's debate with Rep. Paul Ryan.

Biden not only interrupted Ryan frequently--82 times, according to Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus--but frequently laughed, smirked, and snorted at serious moments, showing contempt for his opponent and disturbing even friendly observers.

A CNN poll conducted after the debate, which handed Ryan a narrow 48%-44% victory, also showed that Ryan had beaten Biden by an even wider margin when it came to "likeability." Viewers in the poll--with an admittedly small sample-- also said Ryan "expressed his views more clearly," "was more in touch with the needs and problems of people like you," and "did a better job of defending his running mate."

The only category in which Biden defeated Ryan? "Spent more time attacking his opponent."

I’d feel much better with Ryan being a heartbeat away from being POTUS, than idiot Butt-in Biden - or 0 for that matter!

Great pic. I’d love to see an actual grinning shot of Bitem - from the debate - ‘shopped as the Joker.

I agree, in fact I kept wondering if Ryan was going to finally have enough and turn to the moron and say, "You know, I remember my first beer too Joe."

Obama spun that before the debate.

It’s just Joe Being Joe.

A great ad would be a photo of a smirking Obama and a photo of a smirking Biden on the left with the caption “PETULANT CHILDREN” under it next to photos of Romney/Ryan on the right captioned “ADULTS IN THE ROOM” and above it all - WHO ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE FOR?

Every parent in America would get it immediately.

“More prouder.” The bastich can’t even speak English right.

Or maybe, "Drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, Joe!"

WATTA COCKAMAMIE DUO--Obama / Biden's big talk about fixing our problems is patently delusional.

So far, the antics of the debating Prez/VP are very disturbing.

Debate Obama was a dog-eared Hush Puppy unable to respond to prevailing govt problems ---- when he did respond, he was incoherent, rambling and nonsensical.

Debate Biden was a Laughing Hyena---smirking and grinning at the most inappropriate times. Biden looked mentally unstable---discussing serious issues is beyond his pay grade.

Even more disturbing---there are actually Democrat voters who see nothing wrong with this---yikes.

THIS WAS A JOKE After 30+ years in Congress Biden is a disgrace; he has bankrupted our country while personally profiting handsomely.

Biden says he "fights for the middle class"?

B/c every, man, woman and child now owes $51,000.

I think Axelrod has even less hair this morning. His puppets must have broken a few strings.
