Here Are the Best Facial Expressions of Joe Biden from the Debate
There’s no doubt that one of the biggest stories of Thursday night’s vice presidential debate was the smirking, laughing, and huffing of Joe Biden (see our post on the reaction here). Don’t believe us? Just check out the myriad of pictures of it all. The photographers were having a field day:

Posted on October 11, 2012 at 11:06pmI wonder what the person running the White House thought about the debate….
That would be Valerie Jarret BTW.

My wife and 19 yera old daughter said he made their skin crawl.

As for me I will say in a way that Joe would understand “What A Schmuck”

Posted on October 11, 2012 at 11:24pm@ Bellamia7, that’s pretty much liberals in general. They are emotionally immature and stunted. What a clown this man is, and what a disgrace the past 4 years’ administration has been.

Posted on October 11, 2012 at 11:31pmJust as an aside, I think it was Valerie Jarret who knew of the Mohammad video and gave the White House and the rest their marching orders in the hours after the Libya attack!!! Just my opinion!!

Posted on October 11, 2012 at 11:32pmHere’s the psychology of it: I think by tomorrow morning, millions of men who are the intelligent, serious, hardworking type (like Ryan) will wake up and finally make the association that the sick feeling in their gut watching the debate was that Biden came across as that abusive, loud, obnoxious laughing-drunk, condescending, grandfather that shows you no respect, that you cant reason with and dismisses anything you say or do no matter how clearly in the wrong they are and how clearly you have researched your point.
Ryan relied on facts, Biden on ridicule.
Ryan showed respect, Biden showed disdain.
Biden will not be able to recover from this. Before he was the likable and goofy uncle who said weird and crazy things, entirely forgivable. Now, he’s the arrogant sexist who tried to talk down the moderator and manspalin to her how HE knew what he was talking about and SHE didn’t.
a friend pointed this out:
“”If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.”
Proverbs 29:9

Posted on October 12, 2012 at 2:52amWell, tonight I saw the real DIFFERENCE:
ROMNEY and RYAN speak TO us and ABOUT things as IF we are ADULTS
OBAMA and BIDEN speak AT us with total disdain
I’m glad that MSNBC first poll had RYAN 58 and Biden 36; CNN RYAN 48 – Biden 44…. I mean
they are not even able to con their own MSM buddies.
A couple of times it was very much like TWO against one. This woman was oppressive and while I’m sure she meant well…she could have learned a lot from DAVID Lehrer !
I mean, it’s very clear now that Obama is just flailing around. That silly inane Stephanie Cutter has a lot in common with Obama, they both think they are “marvelous” – they are both SO WRONG.
26 days. PRAY HARD !

Posted on October 12, 2012 at 10:26amBiden appears to me as a study in psychopathology, he really does not appear to be an emotionally stable person, that he is Vice President should scare all of us, and make us re-examine ourselves, as to why this current administration was able to garner enough votes to be elected.

Posted on October 11, 2012 at 10:56pmWOW!! Biden made a few good points, but he has to be, easily, the nastiest, rudest, most belligerent horses arse that I have ever seen. I can’t believe his demeanor and overall lack of respect for the American people.
That being said, on points, I believe Biden won the debate…unless his behavior over shadows the points he made verbally (personally, I believe the negativity of his non-verbals far out weigh the positives of his verbal message).
Personally, I can care less if he was completely correct (which he was not) on all points, I would never vote for any person who behaved the way Biden did. What a complete lack of respect for our people, our country, and our system.

Posted on October 11, 2012 at 11:08pmIt is all a big joke to Gramps. Obama totally incompetent. So Gramps tries to shore him up and lies in the process. They blew 4 years and a lot of money. Romney and Ryan are dead set on rolling up their sleeves and making a top class effort. If initial policies not good enough you know they will work until it all works. Obama is not a hardworking man. Biden should have retired. Clinton should have declined to be Sec. of State. Many Democrats careers sullied by proximity to Obama. Too big a gamble to give Obama another minute or another dollar.
