Where is everyone getting these pictures from?
I like how when Obama is respectful it's "spineless", but when Biden is on the offensive it's being "an asshole".

Theres a difference between being an asshole and being spineless. Obama was really weak in that debate and presented no hard facts while Romney just kept spamming him and he had no idea how to respond.

if anything it was like a complete switch with biden acting like romney and ryan acting like obama.
I'm sorry, Biden won that and I hope The RR campaign learns their lesson about flip flopping.
I thought Ryan had a calmer air about him than Biden did. All the head shaking and laughing he did seemed to me to be a little over the top, but I am kinda sorta biased towards republicans, so hats off to Ryan.
So, not having seen it and not being American, who won? Was it one-sided like Obama-Romney? CNN says polls show they are pretty equal, but eh you never know.

The problem with deciding a winner is that you can't really fact check Ryan since he didn't answer many questions with anything other than stories.
Biden reminded me of Edgeworth or Von Karma with his laughing and head shaking.
This is why Obama decided not to call Romney out on anything, because even if you do your audience is still fucking retarded and only responds to demagoguery and fearmongering.
maybe if ryan would've stopped saying dumb things biden wouldn't have had to correct him

The CNN poll oversampled Republicans by 8 points, by their own admission. And it wasn't an undecided voters poll so it's easier to imagine it being a tie.
The CBS poll is the only snap poll I saw which was undecideds, and Biden won like 51-30 or something.

Its not that he was being aggressive, but that he was laughing and making gestures when Ryan was speaking. Regardless if you agree with that Ryan was saying or not I think Biden would have came off much better if he cut all that shit out.

I think it was great that he was doing all of that. Its hard not to when your opponet spews bullshit all over the place or just ignores the question.

Seems like most of Biden's remarks so far have been true but misleading\half true, while Ryan's have been mostly false.
as a middle person.
Disappointed by this debate, not much was accomplished imo.

Debates aren't places to talk about policies and reach agreements. They're to show your shit and make a show. Personally, I find them entertaining.
