listening to from Paul Ryan was completely untrue. Seems to me that he felt he'd be better off smiling than crying. Vice President Biden had every reason to be upbeat...his
message was truthful, studied, and harkened to a new recovery which is undeniable.
The new numbers are so encouraging that the Romney/Ryan backers think they must
be "cooked." Pitiful that they can't even be happy for the country they say they want to
serve.
No wonder Obama's run up $6 trillion in debt in 4 yrs!!!
-squirming-he couldn't sit still
-sneering
-smirking
-laughing
-interupting repeatedly
He was arrogant, demeaning..Disgusting display of Obama's administration. Crude Chicago thug politics. Lying, twisting the truth..
Biden was an embarrassment to our country.
Ryan was a gentleman-even with the freak moderater who was biased, rudely talking over him, & Biden doing the same thing.
That's why they attack & lie non-stop.
Hardly.
How can you not laugh when Senator Ryan criticizes the Obama administration's stimulus package as am example of out of control spending after accepting funds for his own district?
"I love that, I love that," Biden said, laughing. "This is such a bad program and he writes me a letter saying -- writes the Department of Energy a letter saying -- the reason we need this stimulus, it will create growth and jobs. His words. And now he's sitting here looking at me."
Biden added: "I wish he would just tell the -- be a little more candid," stopping himself from calling Ryan a liar.
How can you not laugh when Senator Ryan criticizes the Obama administration's lack of security in Benghazi after Ryan, [Rep. Darrell] Issa and other House Republicans voted for an amendment in 2009 to cut $1.2 billion from State operations, including funds for 300 more diplomatic security positions. Under Ryan’s budget, non-defense discretionary spending, which includes State Department funding, would be slashed nearly 20 percent in 2014, which would translate to more than $400 million in additional cuts to embassy security.

For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Department’s Worldwide Security Protection program — well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012. (Negotiations with the Democrat-controlled Senate restored about $88 million of the administration’s request.) Last year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security” — a charge Republicans rejected.
