All I really want tonight is...

Lets face it vice presidential debates just about never matter. There was a ton of hype for the Palin debate and she didn't crap in her pants. The needle moved not at all. People generally vote for the top of the ticket even when the bottom of the ticket like in McCain-Palin is being over shadowed. No one like Dick Cheney and it didn't matter.

So what I want out of Biden is something the president can't do. The president can't complain about congress too much because is sounds weak. But Biden can tonight. Paul Ryan is a member of the worst, least productive congressional house in history. A house that can't do anything but rename post offices. A congress that Paul Ryan personally helped down grade the US credit rating. A congress that underfunded embassy security. A congress that has voted to kill Obamacare over and over but never voted for anything positive to replace it, never voted for a jobs, jobs, jobs bill. It's time tonight to make Mitt Romney OWN Paul Ryan and the worst congress ever. I want to hear Paul Ryan defend renaming post offices over passing jobs bills. I want to hear him explain why he walked out of his own committee to lower the debt that he helped create. Obama is popular. Everyone hates congress. Make Paul Ryan defend HIS house over and over. Make the debate about Paul Ryan and all the promises those 2010 Republican made and STILL HAVE NOT KEPT. It is a very small thing in that once again Vice Presidential debates generally don't matter. But is the one thing Biden can do tonight that the president won't do in his debates.
