Biden showed the American People that he is erratic, sometimes weird, undignified and bombastic.Reactions to last night’s Vice Presidential Debate are lighting up the internet today. Assessing the debate this afternoon, Political Analyst Dick Morris said he wasn’t sure if there was a winner in the debate, but said the loser was Vice President Joe Biden. Morris said Biden showed the American People that he is erratic, sometimes weird, undignified and bombastic. He goes on to say that Biden’s performance will negatively affect his favorability, and, perhaps, even that of the president.

In his post-debate commentary last night, Fox News Correspondent Chris Wallace offered a similar analysis. Wallace called Biden’s performance the most openly contemptuous and disrespectful vice presidential debate performance he’s ever seen in a vice presidential debate, dating back to 1960. More important, perhaps, though was the response from voters. During a post-debate CNN focus group, one undecided voter in Virginia said Biden acted like a buffoon and said she was disappointed the Vice President of The United States would act like that. She also said she was frustrated that when Ryan was educating the voters on budgetary issues, Biden rudely interrupted him and didn’t let him finish.

Vice President Biden smirked, laughed and jeered through out the debate. Commentators described this behavior as undignified and inappropriate. The latter assessment was evident when Republican vice presidential Candidate Paul Ryan addressed pressing issues, such as the threat of Iran’s nuclear capability. While Ryan discussed the gravity of the threat of a nuclear Iran, Biden laughed and smiled. Wallace commented, though, that he thought Biden was laughing at Ryan’s assessment of the situation, not the threat itself. However, Biden’s laughter appeared to show a lack of needed focus and gravitas for such a serious subject.

Also, during a discussion on Medicare, Biden bombastically interrupted Ryan’s explanation of how the Romney-Ryan plan would preserve the program from financial demise. While Biden blasted outbursts of questionable facts, Ryan came across as the more calm and calculating statesman, and seemingly more credulous, which became his theme of the evening: credibility.

In the discussion on the Benghazi Terrorist Attacks on the U.S. Embassy, which resulted in the murder U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, Ryan gave a strong argument for the Obama-Biden administration’s lack of credibility.

“When you take a look at what has happened just in the last few weeks,”

he said,

“they sent the U.N. ambassador out to say that this was because of a protest and a YouTube video. It took the president two weeks to acknowledge that this was a terrorist attack. He went to the U.N. and in his speech at the U.N. he said six times — he talked about the YouTube video. Look, if we’re hit by terrorists we’re going to call it for what it is, a terrorist attack. Our ambassador in Paris has a Marine detachment guarding him. Shouldn’t we have a Marine detachment guarding our ambassador in Benghazi, a place where we knew that there was an Al Qaida cell with arms?”

He went onto say that the Obama-Biden team is now trying to blame the Romney-Ryan team for making it an issue.

During the Libya discussion, Biden also notably contradicted information that has been confirmed, saying that they were never told the Libyan embassy wanted more security. Numerous documents and testimonies have now proved otherwise.

Ryan has been criticized by pundits for being too passive and allowing Biden to continually interrupt. Moderator Martha Raddatz, though, did nothing to stop the interruptions (Biden interrupted Ryan 82 times in the debate), nor did she reprimand Biden for his jeering and inappropriate reactions to Ryan’s responses. Raddatz also allowed Biden more speaking time than Ryan, even though Biden complained that Ryan received more time to answer one question. Raddatz’s performance seems to confirm suspected media bias with heavy support for Biden and Obama. Earlier this week, The Daily Caller reported that Obama was one of Raddatz’s wedding guests, a fact which raises serious questions about Raddatz’s objectivity.

Also in the debate, Ryan highlighted Obama’s true campaign strategy.

“You see, if you don’t have a good record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone to run from,” he said, “That was what President Obama said in 2008. It’s what he’s doing right now.”

Additionally, Biden never mentioned job creation, one of the most important issues to voters right now.

“And the president and I are not going to rest until that playing field is leveled they (The American People), in fact, have a clear shot, and they have peace of mind,”

is all he said in his closing statement. Ryan, however, mentioned job creation and reviving the economy repeatedly.

“We want everybody to succeed,”

he asserted in his closing statement,

“We want to get people out of poverty, in the middle class, onto a life of self-sufficiency. We believe in opportunity and upward mobility. That’s what we’re going to push for in a Romney administration.”

The last two presidential debates will be held on October 16 and 22.
