MARTIN'S FERRY, OH -- Republicans say they understand the middle class. Joe Biden says, "C'mon man!"

On the second day of a two-day tour of eastern Ohio, the vice president -- wearing his characteristic aviator sunglasses -- continued to hit GOP nominee Mitt Romney for his tenure at the helm of an investment group, saying that the former governor's role in creating wealth for investors doesn't qualify him to be the president.

"It's their job to create wealth for the investors," Biden said of investment firms like Bain Capital, which Romney cofounded. "If it creates jobs in the process, good! If it costs all the jobs in the process, okay!"

"But that's not the job of a president of the United States of America," he said. "The job is much bigger than that."
