Biden says Romney and Putin are 'best buddies'

Vice President Joe Biden accused Mitt Romney of flip flopping on the issue of Russia in the third presidential debate, saying that he and Russian president Vladmir Putin are now "buddies."

"He went from labeling Russia -- who up until recently he called the Soviet Union — labeling Russia our most significant geopolitical foe," Biden told supporters in Ocala, Fla. on Wednesday.

"All of a sudden, I found out his new best buddy is Putin," Biden said. "Man, I tell you. It's amazing."

Biden said Romney had embraced the idea that "we can work with Russia, we can be very close with Russia."

It's unclear what the vice president was referring to.

In the last presidential debate, Romney in fact defended his previous criticisms of Russia.

"I have clear eyes on this. I'm not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia or Mr. Putin, and I'm certainly not going to say to him, I'll give you more flexibility after the election," Romney said during that debate, referring to an open mice moment where President Obama assured Russian leaders that they could work out a missile defense program deal in a second Obama term.

A spokeswoman for Biden did not immediately respond to a request from POLITICO to clarify the vice president's comments.

Don’t worry. Biden doesn’t know either.

That Obama, is he a shrewd negotiator or what? Wow, what a clever guy. /s

Watch the hand gestures after he makes that statement to the Russian go-between.

Obama clearly wants more feedback, but doesn’t get any. So he waves his hand trying to illicit another comment. FAIL!!!!

It would be hilarious, if it wasn’t so pathetic.

Oh Joe..Joe Joe Joe..off the meds again I see..so Romney and Putin are “best buddies” but its your butt buddy Obama who said that he would be “Flexible.” Now tell me, if Obama and Biden were indeed winning, would they feel the need to send brain dead Biden out to say his usual idiocy

Obama’s selection of Biden to be his running mate is further evidence of the disdain he has for this country.

I’m convinced that Joe B. is in the early stages of Alzheimers.

Not at all.

He was chosen as impeachment and assassination insurance.
