Biden Laughs His Way to Victory in Vice Presidential Debate

http://www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item/biden_laughs_his_way_to_victory_in_vice_president_debate_20121011/

The smile. That laugh. The look on Joe Biden’s face said it all during his commanding performance in Thursday’s vice presidential debate held in Danville, Ky.

Given President Obama’s less than stellar performance in last week’s first presidential debate, a lot was riding on Biden’s shoulders: the polls, which have swung Mitt Romney’s way in the past week, for one, and the critical undecided voter in swing states for another.

Could Biden deliver? The answer Thursday night was a resounding yes.

From the start, Biden attacked the Romney and Ryan ticket and never backed down, calling out the GOP vice presidential nominee on misleading statements and outright lies.

The first instance happened early on in the debate, when the topic turned to attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. When Ryan began criticizing the Obama administration for not having enough security at U.S. embassies, Biden took that as his moment to pounce.

“With all due respect, that’s a bunch of malarkey,” Biden told Ryan, ripping him for Republican-enacted budget cuts to embassy security. In fact, Ryan was among the GOP congressional members who voted for those defense cuts. more at link

because they Want To Be. They must obscure the FACTS from Biden's debate that he brought so abundantly to the table so they can manipulate it as a horse race with the psychos as the ultimate winners.

They needed to Obscure the FACTS that PBO brought to his debate too. They had LOTS of Help with that!
