A Lackluster Performance by Vice President Biden

What was that white streak in Biden’s mouth Thursday night during the vice presidential debate with Paul Ryan?  Every time the Congressman from Wisconsin was talking, Biden would open his mouth a mile wide showing his new set of teeth that I am sure he bought with my tax dollars.

So condescending and distracting was Biden’s laugh that at times, it caused me to stop watching the debates. Last night’s debate was an important event, especially for Paul Ryan who, by the way, presented himself as a knowledgeable opponent. 

Biden, with his crazy laugh, brought forth the worst performance by a vice presidential candidate since 1988 when Lloyd Bentsen debated the republican Dan Quayle. Of course, we all know what happened in 1988 when Bentsen tried to humiliate Quayle with that famous quote, “Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy…” The Bush-Quayle ticket won that election in November and the rest is history.

Biden will come back and eat that laugh together with his new set of teeth that we paid for because  laughing like an hyena to the Congressman and the millions of people who were watching on television, showed not only his arrogance, but also his intolerance for someone who was speaking to the American people with views different than his own.

A total disregard for common decency by a sitting vice president, a man who currently represents the American people here in this country and abroad. I wonder how Europeans viewed him last night with his condescending attitude toward the Congressman who exuded expert knowledge about our national security, the economy and the skyrocketing deficit that under this administration has grown to new levels.

It was a total lackluster performance by Mr. Biden who was more sure about his new set of teeth than he was about our country’s issues.
