Here we go again. The GOP are jumping all over Biden's the middle class has been buried comment.

They are insinuating that Obama buried the middle class. There is a strong argument to back up what Biden 'really' meant by his comment. The economic devastation that Bush and previous GOP policies have visited upon this country is so insidiously destructive that it will take more than four years to overcome. Also, the absolute blocking of every bill and appointment that Obama has made over the last four years is the reason there has not been a more positive economic turn around.

Laughing at Biden is politically naive and immature and will do nothing to hose down the obvious disdain Romney has for the 47% of Americans that do the hard work in this country. That comment by Willard was not some accident of words. It is truly how he feels about the people who have suffered under the greed and power mongering that Romney and Ryan's Ayn Rand philosophy represent.

1. Same story the entire time Biden's been VP. He tells the truth, it gets called a gaffe.

Never seems to get old to the press.

7. The cavemen blow a gasket every time Joe tells the truth.

It's as predictable as the sun rising in the East.

2. but it doesn't hurt Obama/Biden. Their voters don't listen to this crap

It won't stop me or 99.9999% of any Obama fan, nothing will.

In fact, it gets more votes protecting Obama's back when something like this happens.
They never learn.

4. I'm inclined to agree with what you're saying

The more shit the pukes pull the more I'm digging my heals in. Its going to be a long hard slough but in the end I think Obama/Biden will win in a popular vote landslide. Thats what matters to me the most.

and we were approaching elections in November 2008

Biden was correct - that is all.

6. Obama Campaign's Not Blaming Bush for 'Burying' Middle Class

Following Vice President Joe Biden’s remark that the middle class had been “buried” over the last four years as a result of the policies of former President George W. Bush, the reelection campaign of President Barack Obama has gone into damage control mode as Republicans clamor to accuse them of laying all the blame at the 43rd President’s feet.

“We’re absolutely not doing that,” Obama’s deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “In fact, we’re taking credit for the 5.1 million private-sector jobs that have been created over the past four years despite being handed the worst economy since the Great Depression. We’re taking credit for the million jobs that were protected under the president’s efforts to save the auto industry and the increase in manufacturing jobs for the first time in decades. We’re not blaming our predecessor by any means, but we don’t think we should return to the same policies that crashed the economy.”

“If you look at what the vice president said, and what he’s been saying on the campaign trail, is that the middle class has been buried by the exact same policies Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to go back to,” Cutter said. “You shouldn’t be cutting taxes for those at the top and asking the middle class to pay for it. You shouldn’t be undoing reforms on Wall Street that will prevent another taxpayer bailout. Those are the exact policies that crashed our economy in the first place.”

According to Politico, a June poll found 68 percent of Americans place a great or moderate amount of blame on the former president, while only 52 percent blame Obama.
