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."

Talk about a stroke of genius. Create an add showing a montage of Biden's gaffes and debate antics , finishing off with "Do you really want this man one heartbeat away from the presidency?"
I am a psychiatric nurse and I saw severe mental illness in the joker who is heartbeat away from the Presidency. Biden is prominently featured in both Axis I and Axis II in the DSM.
“”””Heard obama say he couldn’t be “more prouder” of biden.
“More prouder.” The bastich can’t even speak English right.”””
Obammy is obviously the most smartest.
I thought Biden was channeling Tom Eagleton
Is Biden bipolar by chance? His excitable behavior earlier in the debate, then his calm, almost depressed demeanor at the end gave me that impression.

Crazed loon. Belongs in a mental facility, not anywhere near the White House. Isn’t St. Elizabeth’s a mental hospital in the DC area? He should have been checked in there by Secret Service after this so-called debate. Scary as all get out.
They're on about the third dem representative (Rogenski) and it looks like the whole team has adopted the Biden smirk as a kind of campaign uniform.
I seriously worry that the next time Harry Reed comes on screen he will hurt himself trying to grin.
"Please lord help me, I prayed all day for a Brain!"
"Please lord help me, I prayed all day for a Brain!"
biden showed he is an arrogant bastard and deserves to be sent out to pasture.
Other sites have detailed his four-stage behavior as that of a drunk. Looks like the Huffington Post missed the memo: the headline is The Joe Show.
LOL. That is awesome.
It could get even more worser for us abnormal Americans if we doesn’t get him gone more sooner than more later.
Obozo`s ass-clown circus is on the air!
After the debate Biden’s handlers gave him back his finger paints and crayons.
