Critics sneer smirk Blackwell.

Whatever you -- everyone is talking about it.

Joseph took a couple of five hour energy drinks beforehand maybe overdid it a little bit and came out there as mr.

aggressive and obviously has very white -- -- We do I love that I love that he likes to grimace and show and grin as much as possible Jack Kennedy lower tax rates increased growth -- -- out your Jack Kennedy.

You're someone still tuning in on this side of the selection what you saw was -- a class act and Paul -- you saw somebody who's certainly up for the job.

Verses that Joseph Biden and it was Joseph Biden -- talk about this Great Recession is a sellout in the sky like oh my password and it comes from.

I am aware.

That -- consensus opinion seems to be -- Biden was.

I mean.

-- -- Disrespect for the Joseph Biden -- you saw last night he is the Democrat party gets the modern Democrat party particularly the last.

Twelve years this who they are -- But Biden did -- exactly once was desired and in the process hurt himself and Obama.

The vice president is authentic.

What you see is what you get he didn't bring a bunch of -- political talking points like congressman Ryan then and I think you -- a lot of Americans do.

I just don't think you should be allowed him during a discussion about thermonuclear war was.

Thank heavens we have these sanctions in place it's in spite of their on this couple coming -- -- you are it's about tone as well so what do you do.

She was really certain -- because the president was just chaos he was very lethargic he was very he's just the opposite of what you saw last night -- -- Now did you get a chance to watch the debate last night.

I think you might agree with me that there was one person on stage last night -- -- -- -- and respectful steady and toys the kind of person you -- to turn to and had a crisis and that was an ex vice president of the United States.

All right and talk about him smiling just a matter of policy when congressman time starts attacking the administration of the recovery.

And this was -- shows the vice president -- I can tell you I can guess why it was fun because he knew how hypocritical that.

Have a feeling and a few things to.

Without more verify that.

You and our dart board that everybody knew it would gore got a word in Bush's space -- -- 2000.

That's what the question in this campaign is about -- what's your philosophy and what your position on issues.

-- get things done.

And I believe I -- These people -- worried about their taxes and Social Security what they held their gonna have to pay to get us out of this debt we -- old man Biden they're laughing about it.

-- starts laughing in discussion about security and dead ambassadors you know glancing and -- everything for the first half hour I'll bet you all a bunch of young people did see.

And overbearing father that they think doesn't get combat -- And today I NC chair rice -- this kind vice president Biden's debate performance -- -- Chairman previous tweeting the smirk and work he joins us nice CSX that -- Yeah yeah I expect to found the Republican Party not to be not to be impressed with them Vice President Biden last -- -- are no smiles.

What was surprising to me is Tom Brokaw NBC's Tom Brokaw.

Coming down hard on the vice president for smirking about.

What we're trying to -- nuclear war with Iran.

Well look at I think -- serious people that looked at.

Joseph Biden's behavior last night they weren't impressed -- that an even people that thought.

Did Joseph Biden did an otherwise decent job also threw into the conversation look.

That it may have been much better if you didn't distract everyone -- on actions look at I thought that Paul Ryan displayed.

A real.

Gentlemanly.

Decent.

Good natured person that was intelligent well versed on the issues.

-- and how he just sat there and took that debt and -- saying shrapnel coming from from Joseph Biden look.

If it was Joseph Biden's.

The mission.

To save the Obama campaign I mean -- make a lousy life guard I'll tell you that he was just somebody that I think just fell flat.

And I thought that in the end.

What this'll be remembered for a -- unfortunately be the substance of what happened except for a couple Biden gaffes it was Biden's.

Miserable behavior.

I -- Stated this is sad for him.

Because I don't think he's a nasty guy let me go to that but don't really like him it was nice guy that it was a sad night for him I think as a person I.

I think is that as a practical matter he -- it made.

-- first like change the narrative I assume that the Obama campaign want the narrative we substantive this is about what happened and what the vice president -- that all -- -- talk about us working that's all anybody is talking about today so anything achieved there.

How I'm for the most part vice presidential debates or in some ways a little bit of political -- theater and we just -- to see if the new content than -- his films on a ticket who we haven't seen before whether he's up for the job and what they agreed with bicycle instead that congressman right or not he's up for the job I think everyone agrees admit I've written critically but he's confident.

But otherwise it's just it was -- in the sense it's a distraction but you -- momentum is what.

Matters and so even though I was impressed with Paul I was proud of the way he sat there and did such a credible and intelligent job.

When we walked into the auditorium.

We had the momentum in this race.

And when we got in the car and drove back to the hotel we still had the momentum in this race and tonight we're we have the momentum in the race and they didn't win anything.

Didn't daddy -- do you talk to congressman Ryan last night I did it.

And what set up.

Off topic some Austin city -- -- save up besides the issues -- was feeling pretty good I mean I think that -- he was -- understood.

I think what Joseph Biden was trying to pull off there and I don't I don't think it worked him in his debate coach whoever was coaching him I don't also is.

Then Holland her or Ed Schultz but whoever coaches coaching -- -- given some bad advice because.

It fell flat and I think -- did what he had to do which is it -- to be decent and to be Smart and be persistent.

Let me ask now about the substance the Obama campaign has sent out there in that -- everyone's sends -- statements this all the time.

What it says in part tonight he says Romney and Ryan want to cut taxes by 250000.

Dollars for multimillionaires.

And paid for by raising taxes on the middle class basically I think.

Just keep find common with this life to just keep on coming.

And you know what.

Barack Obama tried that -- week and a half ago in Denver.

And it fell flat because -- -- you -- the liars well listen I mean they haven't been able to produce anything.

I mean these these guys are incredible they talk about you know the first -- what were the specifics but what are you talking about we're gonna get lectured by a bunch of Democrats and the president and Ben and Joseph Biden when they haven't passed the budget.

In three and a half years contrary.

To the law.

And we have the five point plan that we go over and over and over.

The 59 point plan the Wyden Ryan plan the Ryan budget.

We we've got plans coming out of -- -- and these guys haven't done their job and for years they've put this country in the ditch they can't talk about any of their own record they have nothing to talk about.

That's why they fall flat.

They're going into -- closing argument without a single good fact.

On their side and there isn't -- good there is that you can get the best lawyer in America to defend you but if you got lousy facts.

-- -- losing the case that's what their problem is they're losing the case because.

They have no case I strategy she happened to CNET -- mention that president Obama's going to come prepared.

How many is going to be gunning for write your -- everybody's got to have a case -- can come prepared but eventually.

He's got to be able to tell the American people what he did right.

Why we're going broke why people are out of work why he couldn't get it done when he had a majority in the house and the senate that's his problem.

I guess I guess the answer to the American people and in Kenya took -- -- is in the town hall.

But you know and -- that'll be interest things but in the end.

He's going to have to account for his record and that's his problem he cannot.

Make a good case to the American people for the misery that we have endured for four years on -- on his watch.

-- -- I think he forgets that he's been president for four years.

And I'm I'm sure that governor around is gonna remind him and he knows it -- price thank you nice to see if our.
