Biden: Romney proved he is ‘not ready to be commander-in-chief’

He’s a good man, a decent man but he demonstrated an overwhelming lack of understanding of the international community, he demonstrated a lack of understanding on the military,” said Biden on NBC's "Today" show.

Biden said that compared to his own vice presidential debate, where Romney running mate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) had forcefully criticized the administration’s policies, on Monday “Gov. Romney seemed to be rushing to agree with everything the president had done already.”

Biden said he was hard pressed to identify areas where Romney would act differently in office than Obama had.
