** EXCERPT **
WASHINGTON (AFP)--Democratic vice presidential hopeful Joe Biden on Thursday said his Republican vice presidential rival, Sarah Palin, missed the point in her critical convention speech by not talking about how to fix the country's economic woes.
Biden told CNN television that Palin, the Alaska governor who electrified party faithful, "had a very skillfully written and very skillfully delivered political speech and I was impressed with her.
But, Biden said, she failed to mention "the middle class or health care or about how people are going to fill up their gas tanks.
"I didn't hear a single word about how you're going to get our kids to college; so I was impressed with the speech but impressed with what I didn't hear spoken," Biden said.
Biden, running along with Senator Barack Obama, said John McCain's vice presidential pick did not offer "a single word or phrase about how to deal with the retirement security for people and social security.
"I didn't hear the word Afghanistan or Pakistan mentioned where the terrorists live. Where Al Qaeda is," Biden stressed.

I guess he missed the part where she exposed the Dems tax plans?
Sorry Joe , trashing the economy is a DEM campaign tactic.
You wouldn't have wanted her to plagiarize his speech, would you?
I guess oil prices and taxes don’t effect the economy.
Palin didn’t have to mention the middle class... because she IS the American middle class.
Moreover, the people of this country know it.
Yes she did, he just didn’t catch it because it was said short and to the point.
Don’t raise taxes on everything and everyone.
It was said so simple and straightforward that poor ‘ol Joe can’t wrap his bloviating brain around it.
I think Biden should have talked about the price of beans in China.
Or how their energy policy is going to help people fill up their gas tanks.
Biden: “...Sarah Palin, missed the point in her critical convention speech by not talking about how to fix the country’s economic woes.”
Translation: Please Ma’am: May I have another!
She did mention al Qaeda-
said the democrats’ main worry about al Qaeda was making sure they were read their rights
LOL!
Plugs must have dozed off when she talked about Americanizing the energy industry
I wonder if Biden thinks she is as “clean, bright and articulate” as Obama. Mr. Zero.
The real test for Biden: Spit combing his hair...
Old Joe must have been too busy talking about himself during Sarah’s speech to have heard her explaining how she and McCain will ‘fix’ the economy.
Sheesh, what an idiot he is. Doesn’t he realize voters actually heard her doing exactly what he says she didn’t do?
Hey Joe: Should we believe you or our lying eyes and ears?
Look in the dictionary for ‘irrelevant’ and you’ll see a picture of Joe Biden.
He must have went into a coma when she talked about cutting taxes to energize the economy and lowering energy costs - what a doofus byedone is.
The perfect contrast. Joe believes that the federal government should be responsible for college educations. Sarah Palin and the United States Constitution do not.
Well he surely didn’t listen to the speech. Sarah spoke plenty about the economy.
Plugs is a putz. He must not have paid much attention to the evening’s events.
She did. She talked about how the Democrats plan to hobble the U.S. economy.
When the Democrats talk about the economy, they talk about how they can buy votes with taxpayer dollars.
