Obama: ‘I Thought Joe Biden Was Terrific’

Obama: ‘I Thought Joe Biden Was Terrific’

President Obama told the press corps Thursday night that he thought Vice President Joe Biden was "terrific" in his debate against Rep. Paul Ryan, according to a White House pool report.

"I'm going to make a special point of saying that I thought Joe Biden was terrific tonight. I could not be prouder of him. I thought he made a very strong case. I really think that his passion for making sure that the economy grows for the middle class came through. So I'm very proud of him."

Asked if he called him after the debate ended, Mr. Obama replied with a smile, "Yes, I just talked to him."

The President can't have the demoralizing performance that he had in the first debate, the President must call every lie that Romney makes and corner that weasel.

in the debate and Vice President Biden did very well. But quite frankly I've been deeply saddened by the piling on and disrespect I've seen over and over again toward President Obama.( Not directing this at you bigdarryl). And I want to see President Obama kick butt next debate too. As much as everyone else does.

But I am hoping that people remember that President Obama puts his very life on the line for us each and every day.

I hope I don't get in trouble for this post, as I've been a member here for 10 years. But I've been holding this in and I just now got the courage to post it.

Now he has the chance to put his observations into practice.

Hit Romney hard, call him out on every lie and distortion and defend your Administration's great record.

You don't have to be as hyper as Joe, though, and definitely control the urge to smile at the slimeball.

Looked completely inexperienced, and definitely not Vice Presidential... much less potentially Presidential.

I was SO waiting to hear Joe call him "son"...
