All I can say is holy shit. If they say Biden lost this then we're so fucked.
Can we just elect Biden for president now?I heard he ran for president before, but quit when he was called out on plagiarism.
CNN gave Ryan the debateThat's impressive...that you still thought they had credibility. They lost a lot when they had Jack Thompson on as a game expert.
ironbite-and any credibility they may have had is gone

I don't know why Obama and Biden don't just say, "We screwed up," about Libya.
I can't find anywhere where Obamacare takes from Medicare. No cutting it at all.
Ryan said Obama "funneled" $716 billion out of Medicare "at the expense of the elderly." This gives a very misleading impression.
In fact, the law limits payments to health care providers and insurers to try to reduce the rapid growth of future Medicare spending. Lawmakers said they hoped the measures would improve care and efficiency. Those savings, spread out over the next 10 years, are then used to offset costs created by the law (especially coverage for the uninsured) so that the overall law doesn't add to the deficit. Ryan’s statement is exaggerated and we rate it Mostly False.
Usual reactions from my parents:
"Uh, Joe Biden is so rude. Interrupting Paul Ryan while he's speaking."
Double standards ahoy! (http://moonbattery.com/?p=19089) I've noticed that somehow Biden is rude for doing exactly what Rmoney did in the Presidential debate--and I had no problem with Rmoney's behavior on that night either. At least I'm consistent...Usual reactions from my parents:
"Uh, Joe Biden is so rude. Interrupting Paul Ryan while he's speaking."
And I'll bet they were praising Romney when he was doing it to Obama, weren't they?
I don't know why Obama and Biden don't just say, "We screwed up," about Libya.
Because they're politicians?
But seriously, they could do that, but it would be a huge risk. It might come across as sincere and honest, and help them get votes, but it also opens them up to attack.
Read this next bit in Mitt Romney's voice: "Even this President doesn't think he's doing a good job of protecting our country. He admitted to not providing proper security for our soldiers and ambassadors in Libya."
Now read this one in scary political ad narrator voice: "President Obama refused to provide troops to defend our embassies in Libya and Egypt, even though they asked for extra security. (Play clip of Obama saying 'we made a mistake'). Obama's "mistake" cost the lives of Americans who were bravely serving their country overseas. America deserves better than that. On November 6th, support Mitt Romney, the only candidate who will protect America."
Obama still has the advantage in the polls, which generally leads to caution (and he's a generally pretty risk-averse guy anyway)I can't find anywhere where Obamacare takes from Medicare. No cutting it at all.
It does call for $716 billion in cuts to Medicare over ten years, but Ryan is still lying about it. Here is Politifact's take:QuoteRyan said Obama "funneled" $716 billion out of Medicare "at the expense of the elderly." This gives a very misleading impression.
In fact, the law limits payments to health care providers and insurers to try to reduce the rapid growth of future Medicare spending.

It is also worth noting that Ryan's budget plan called for the exact same amount of cuts to Medicare. As Bill Clinton said at the DNC, "it takes brass to criticize someone for doing the thing that you did."
Not gonna lie, Jill Biden is pretty funny:
