Last night's debate

 "With all due respect, that's a bunch of malarkey, because not a single thing he said is accurate. Number one, this lecture on embassy security - the congressman here cut embassy security in his budget by $300 million below what we asked for, number one. So much for the embassy security piece. Number two, Governor Romney, before he knew the facts, before he even knew that our ambassador was killed, he was out making a political statement which was panned by the media around the world."

Joseph Biden did what Barack Obama did not do. He challenged nearly every lie that his opponent uttered. He made Ryan  uncomfortable. He showed the Republican his hypocrisy.
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: — months and months. They found no evidence of cronyism. And I love my friend here. I — I'm not allowed to show letters, but go on our website: He sent me two letters saying, by the way, can you send me some stimulus money for companies here in the state of Wisconsin? We sent millions of dollars. You know why he said he needed —
MS. RADDATZ: You did ask for stimulus money, correct?
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: Sure he did. By the way — (inaudible) —
REP. RYAN: On two occasions, we — we — we advocated for constituents who were applying for grants.
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: (Chuckles.)
REP. RYAN: That's what we do. We do that for all constituents who are — (inaudible) — for grants.
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: I love that. I love that. This is such a bad program, and he writes me a letter saying — writes the Department of Energy a letter saying, the reason we need this stimulus — it will create growth and jobs. He — his words. And now he's sitting here looking at me — and by the way, that program — again, investigated — what the Congress said was, it was a model: less than four-tenths of 1 percent waste or fraud in the program. And all this talk about cronyism — they investigated, investigated; did not find one single piece of evidence. I wish he would just tell — be a little more candid.
The entire event transcript is here. You know, the Republicans know Biden defeated Ryan; because they are complaining about Biden's manner. Well, that is the way one deals with a lying fraud in conversation. Obama failed to do this, and Romney domineered; of course if  President Obama would show Biden's vigor, Obama would be called 'an uppity negro', and worse; but of course, the Republicans would use different words when presenting in the press.
