This was the most outrageous political performances I’ve ever saw. Vice President Bidden not only showed total disrespect to Paul Ryan, but he also showed utter disdain for the American people watching this spectacle. His mocking smiling, mugging for the camera and demeaning laughter at what Mr. Ryan was saying, demeaned the office of Vice President, and produced shame on President Obama. His conduct was that of a schoolyard bully, or a self-righteous debater who has no real substance to argue, thus uses these tactics to shame his opponent.
I’ve had the displeasure of interacting with several of these type people in my life. Although they seem to be fun-loving people, in reality they are despicable. Unfortunately, too many of these type of people permeate the Congress, dismissed Representative Anthony Wiener comes to mind. Self centered, full of themselves, they go about “glade handing” people and applying their charm.
Prior to this debate I heard nothing but glowing testimonies of Joe Bidden the man. I have not heard a single bad word about him. Last night’s performance seems to show the opposite. This morning the President said he was proud of Vice President Bidden’s performance. That tells us more about President Obama and the entire Whitehouse.
I agree with Charles Kruathamme3r’s assessment of the evening. If you where listening to the debate on radio, your conclusion would be that Vice President Bidden was the victor. If you were reading the transcript, you would say it was a tie. Watching this “train-wreck” of a debate, Mr. Ryan was the winner. Now I understand the polls this morning having it 50/50.
My hopes are that Mitt Romney comes out even stronger next Tuesday. I hope he maintains his Corporate Charmian of the Board persona and refuses to let President Obama dictate the conversation. He needs to stick to the facts, deliver the detail necessary to shut up the Left, and do more to relate to all Americans. If so, these debates will have more to do with winning the election than anytime in history.
