This week, the spotlight turns to Joe Biden and Paul Ryan, who square off Thursday. We know what Biden is capable of, for good and for ill. His inexplicable comment last week that the middle class has been “buried” for the last four years was seized on by Romney in his very first answer at the debate. But Biden has been around the block a hundred times, and he’s capable of passion and intelligence and something that completely eluded Obama last Wednesday—the memorable sound-bite (“Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive; any questions?”) - - The Daily Beast
And, as soon as Biden mentions his now famous quote, Ryan will (or should) question the possibility that the quote had anything to do with the recent terrorist attack in Libya?
Osama Bin Laden is idolized by many, in that part of the world, and to repeat over and over again “Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive” displays poor judgment at the very least. Especially, considering our elections are covered worldwide.
But we all know Uncle Joe is going to use the line, if for no other reason than he came up with it. And, in doing so the debate takes a turn towards foreign policy, which is exactly what Republicans want!
