Biden fires up NH Dems, rips GOP

By Jordan Fabian - 05/26/11 06:00 AM ET

Vice President Biden on Wednesday tore into Republicans while saying that conditions favor President Obama's reelection in 2012.

Speaking at a fundraising dinner for the New Hampshire Democratic Party, Biden lambasted Republicans for supporting Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) budget proposal, which Democrats say would essentially privatize Medicare and gut crucial government programs.

"This isn’t your father’s Republican Party. This is a different breed of cat," Biden said, according to the Nashua Telegraph.

Biden also claimed Obama's strength is becoming more evident, referencing his decision to authorize a raid to capture or kill Osama bin Laden.

“I said, 'wait another seven days for information' ... (Obama) said 'go,'" Biden admitted. "The American people now have a crystal clear picture of how strong and decisive our president is, and that’s the last piece of the puzzle that had to be put in place."

1. Sounds like he gave a good speech

I didn't even know he was in town until after he had left.

“The American people get it, and they’re getting it more profoundly than ever before,” he said, his voice hushed to a dramatic whisper. “We have a leader with the backbone of a ramrod, and now the real Barack Obama … is coming into focus.”
