Yes it is just hours from the first presidential debate in critics are pouncing on vice president Joseph Biden's latest apparent gas at a campaign stop.

-- you seem to suggest that president Obama's first term has not been so good for the middle class listen this is.

That -- man this is deadly earnest.

How they can justify.

How they can justify.

Raise -- taxes in the middle class has been buried.

The last four years.

How in -- and he can they justify.

Raising their taxes -- these tax.

Pete Snyder is a Fox News contributor chairman of the GOP's Virginia victory 2012 Alan -- the host of the Alan Colmes show and -- are.

Of the book thank the liberals for saving America.

Great to see both of you -- To be here -- is there another interpretation.

Of what the vice president said he didn't backtrack it seems after it came out.

I think gaffe it's you know take -- had a context it doesn't sound good but I think.

We could it was clear to me -- -- -- -- -- to the notion that the policies leading up.

To where we are now is what caused the middle class to have problems and that.

They're coming out of it if you look at the metrics a stock market up which means a 401 -- are up.

Housing that -- ago and I read the price of homes are going up which is good for the homeowner.

You've got -- net increase in job creation and -- look at the actual metrics you can see that things albeit slowly.

Are getting better but I he didn't say any of that I agree I I think that would he had I wish he -- that if.

I.

Look the great thing about Joseph Biden is while he tends to exaggerate every once in awhile.

He actually tells the truth the -- of the time in this clearly was him telling the truth.

He -- -- in several interviews that he sees himself as the truth teller in -- In this administration.

You know what he was right the middle class has been -- for the past four years look at the price of of gas in America.

A dollar 83 on inauguration day four years ago.

Now knocking on the door five dollars you go to any grocery story you see the inflated prices have milk and -- A bacon.

Al there the taxes that are looming over America taxes in the middle class have gone up under under the Obama -- -- -- -- an energy prices.

Or through the roof.

Due to the poor energy policies.

And weakness of this administration and other Joseph Biden was right good -- -- -- Julianne.

Was actually right now doesn't create the president doesn't cause gas prices that that was the case what a beautiful autumn when the president going down for about three of four -- well they get outside and you know you and that -- absolutely -- it.

The president does not control the cost of gas as you know and is not raise taxes if lower -- if not departments and working families lower -- of the small business that.

Stop misrepresenting his record like this like.

-- -- does Joseph Biden is talking about the record of the Obama Biden administration won't let me say very clearly very earnestly.

That they are -- that I just gave -- some metrics -- -- addressed.

Allen will the president have to address this tonight will he -- to you guys talk about why.

The middle classes often and can he distanced himself from his own policy playing overall.

I don't think you have to distance up -- policies he may want to put some -- in the Biden's statement I don't think -- distance up with policies at all as a matter backwards of the economic forecasters say based on policies in place now we're gonna create five to ten million jobs over the next for our -- why is that why is it that whenever this administration whether the president or Joseph Biden actually tells the truth.

Actually every once in awhile they tell you what's on their mind like the president saying that up.

The private sector is doing -- -- -- -- entrepreneurs like me that we didn't build our business why is it when they ever tell the truth.

Suddenly they're taken at a wider view your wedding you know if -- regularly so there you go again to quote one of our great Republican president when you say he said you -- build your business you know the context of that you know better than I thought he was yeah the context was actually worse than what he's not a contact is that you want to -- -- is.

Put out your chest you think you're so Smart that but you didn't build -- -- -- -- -- people that aren't totally left out but he was talking about before that and that certainly was not the tone of his voice -- Unilaterally invalidate -- that's a regular visitor a big.

I'm literally -- -- -- what it says.

Allan and -- now we're -- we're distancing ourselves from this particular statement our final -- from each of -- final word on what the public walked away with when they heard that I'm not sure how many people -- except for those wanna keep mentioning one line out of context in -- -- -- -- -- even a late night -- -- -- -- -- which side is the vice president and we still are comedians will make fun of any depth and with anybody to stand -- if I believe that it clearly -- was that I believe for a -- world finally talent doesn't have traction.

Could.

I don't believe -- abstract I think -- the right -- desperate.

And ads and what you hear spin like that coming out of the left and Allen clearly does.

This is they got sat out for the president going into the today that it will be watching tonight as well thanks about it UP -- -- -- -- you -- so.
