Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday offered the most high profile response yet from the Obama campaign - albeit a short one - in reaction to the controversial secretly recorded tape of Mitt Romney at a fundraiser event in May.

"I let his words speak for themselves," Biden said when asked his reaction to Romney's telling donors that 47% of Americans back President Barack Obama because they are "dependent on government" and believe "that they are victims."

Biden's reaction came after a rally in Ottumwa, Iowa. During his stump speech, the vice president steered clear of any mention of the controversy itself. Instead, Biden reiterated familiar political attacks against his Republican opponents on issues such as Medicare, job creation and tax policy.

1. Yep, that's the smart move. Prez and VP keep quiet so the GOP can't divert

the attention to their comments. Just let Romney keep digging deeper.

2. Really...

Just let Smirking Romney keep flipping in the wind. He's likely to commit another gaff in his defense of the last one.
