Biden came off as a buffoon, He also appeared as a liar concerning the Libyan embassy terror attack. PEOPLE KNOW THE FACTS on this subject.

It was Biden as a six foot Honey Boo-Boo on Red Bull and acid.

It was awesome. The Obama ticket lost the campaign completely last night.

Know anyone who makes commercials. Need to combine BIden’s laughter with Obama digital comments and title “The Reason There Is No Bipartisanship in DC”

I had to laugh at the summary of the yahoo article:

“Move over, Big Bird! The vice president’s inability to control his grin steals the show.”

Link: http://news.yahoo.com/laughing-joe-steals-show-vice-presidential-debate-020832310—abc-news-politics.html

Most of the responses at ABC were disgust. Didn’t check others.

An excellent analysis, especially on how Ryan read and responded to the Biden “play action” buffoonery. This showed the kind of mature judgement people arelooking for.

Based on just the responses I’ve seen, somebody should make an overlay of video of Biden’s behavior, with the sound track of the vile French characters from Monty Python’s “Holy Grail”. lol

Biden’s job was to stink up the place so nobody could hear a word Ryan said. Ryan was King Arthur; Biden was the French guy threatening to wave his private parts at Arthur’s auntie.

Only it was funny when the French guy did it; it’s not so funny when we’ve got the entire Muslim world against us, thinking we’re weak, and united in belligerence and action.

Can’t help but wonder what the mom of one of the guys slain in Libya - who has been saying she’s sick of the BS she’s been getting from the regime - felt as she saw Biden’s schtick last night. If that wasn’t a big middle finger to her, nothing was.

Biden did not disappoint me he was still the idiot he is when he is let loose on the public..The stupid laughing and ignorant face motions..

The moderator did ok to begin with but then started helping Biden..She did not tell Biden to shut up when he interrupted..It was a set up job with the so called moderator..Hope she is happy her man Biden made of fool of himself..

To me that was Biden being Biden. His actions, speaking style, etc. are what he has displayed over his many years in the Senate. Now the public that hasn’t seen him over the years may well not be impressed with it. With the next Presidential debate in only four days I suspect this will fall off the radar screen quickly.

Proverbs 29:8-10

King James Version (KJV)

8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

Not talked about today, but I had a problem with the negative light in which Biden portrayed the brilliant Antonia Scalia. Clearly shows the Democrats are only concerned with the personal leanings of Justices rather than their abilities as jurists required to interpret the laws of the land.

Yep. What I saw last night was exactly what I expected to see. Old Joe trying to come across as the senior pol who was so bored with the young whippersnapper's incompetence, that all he could do was laugh it off and be snide. What I saw last night is EVERY debate, hearing or confrontation I've EVER seen with Biden.

Tom Brokaw et. al. in the media who are acting surprised... surprise me. Biden is 70 yrs old -- what, he was gonna change his schtick NOW?

That had me laughing. A one liner that assesses the whole thing perfectly.

It will also be very interesting to see what the fallout will be from Biden throwing the intelligence community under the bus. This writer says we might expect some intelligence leaks that could hurt the administration - let’s hope so!

I only wish that during Biden’s laughing, Ryan had used my 4th grade teacher’s favorite line: “You know, they have places where they put people who laugh at nothing.”
