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.

No.
Please folks, let the man speak. This couldn’t be a gaffe... he has to have something to substantiate this claim...
I can’t do it with a straight face
This man is either bat-shit crazy or the aneurism is back.
Hey Joe, Romney knows how to communicate with the prime minister of Israel about what’s going on with Iran while your pal Barry Soretoro was trying to impress jay-z, and called himself busy that night. So if you just STHU, Biden, you would actually sound smarter.

If you are talking Biden, Delaware elected him six times to Senate. Then to vp. Delaware is among the fanatical blue states where a drunk can get elected, so long as he’s blue. And being a Delaware resident, I can further tell you that we had a governor who was such an awful speaker that she made Bush II sound okay. She wasn’t concise.
Aw, say it ain’t so, Bathhouse Barry! My esteem for Putin (gaaak! ptuie!) just dropped 10 points.
Ditto. Used to work with clients suffering with various dementias. He’s a definite candidate. Kind of sad to so publicly humiliate oneself.
Makes sense to be, both are aspiring communist dictators.
LOL
I’m certain Putin despises Obama as much as we do. “Useful idiot”
Putin despises the USA for defeating his beloved EVIL EMPIRE and tossing it into the garbage heap of history where it belongs. The limping anachronism Putin will soon follow his satanic EVIL EMPIRE into oblivion.
