Just looking at polling that has been done since the Ryan-Biden debate, it’s now clear that Joe Biden’s bizarre debate performance has contributed to Romney and Ryan widening their lead in the polls.

A new national poll by the leftist Daily Kos and Public Policy Polling now shows Romney leading Obama by four points nationally.

A Gallup/USA TODAY poll of the swing states has Romney-Ryan leading by five points.

Gallup’s daily tracking poll (different than the Gallup/USA Today poll) now has Romney’s lead ballooning to a seemingly insurmountable 4 points. This is Romney’s biggest lead ever in that poll.

Scott Rasmussen’s daily tracking poll has Romney-Ryan leading by two — up one point from before Biden’s disastrous debate performance, where Biden spent the entire debate laughing uncontrollably, smirking, making faces, and non-stop interrupting of both Ryan and the moderator.

The Real Clear Politics average of polls now has Obama’s reelect number at 47.0.

It’s almost impossible for a sitting President to crawl his way back to 50 percent from there. And Gallup now puts his reelect number at an even more dismal 46 percent.

Remember, undecideds always break 75-80 percent against the incumbent in close elections in the close days.

Democrats are now in full panic mode. To see this, just turn on MSNBC for about a minute.

Biden’s debate performance was so bizarre, so disturbing and unsettling to viewers that the esteemed psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow believes Biden is showing signs of dementia.

See Dr. Ablow’s interview below:

Dr. Ablow believes Biden showed signs of dementia during his debate with Ryan, citing Biden’s maniacal uncontrolled laughter throughout the debate, even during times when possible nuclear war with Iran was the topic of discussion.

Biden thought that was just hilarious.

At a minimum, Ablow says, President Obama should order a CAT scan and complete neurological exam for Biden.

Dr. Ablow has impeccable qualifications to make this assessment.

He graduated from Brown University in 1983, magna cum laude, with a Bachelor of Science degree in neurosciences. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1987, and completed his psychiatry residency at the Tufts-New England Medical Center.

So he knows what he’s talking about.

In case you missed Biden’s eyebrow-raising display, here are some clips . . .

Anyone who saw Biden’s debate performance must shudder to think this man is one heartbeat from being President.

The guffawing, laughing, grimacing, interrupting, rude Joe Biden went over like a lead balloon with the audience in his debate last night with Paul Ryan.
—CNN POLL:
48 percent said Ryan won the debate. 44 thought Biden won.
—NBC POLL:
63 percent thought Ryan won. Just 31 percent thought Biden won.
—CNBC POLL:
56 percent thought Ryan won. 36% thought Biden won.

So this is now the second disastrous debate performance by Team Obama. Tuesday
night they go for the Trifecta when Barack Obama and Mitt Romney square off again.

Here’s a great video the RNC put out on Biden’s incessant laughing, snickering and sneering . . .

This Biden character certainly is a rude, classless buffoon.

This is how people act when they are out of ideas and have no answers.

He, frankly, came off last night as deeply mentally disturbed.

For some reason, Biden thinks it’s funny that Iran is four years closer to having nuclear bombs.

Biden thinks it’s hilarious that we have 23 million Americans struggling to find work.

Biden just can’t contain his laughter over the fact that the median household in America earns $5,000 less per year than in January of 2009.

Biden thinks it’s a hoot that we now have 40 percent more Americans on Food Stamps than we had on Obama’s first day in office.

Biden thinks it’s a scream that one in six Americans are now in poverty.

Biden is in stitches over the fact that the price of a gallon of gasoline has more than doubled under his watch.

And he’s having a rollicking good time over the fact that a U.S. Ambassador and three other Americans were murdered by terrorists in Libya because the Obama White House rejected the U.S. Ambassador’s desperate pleas for more security.

Is Biden some kind of sadist?

This is how sociopaths behave — laughing non-stop at the human misery he’s helping to cause all across America.

Or it’s possible Biden is entering the early stages of Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia — which would also explain his bizarre, inappropriate behavior.

What America witnessed last night was a seriously mentally ill person — who just happens to be Vice President of the United States.

President Obama needs to get to the bottom of what’s wrong with his Vice President.

Obama should order a complete neurological exam for Biden.

 

 

Dopey Joe Biden sneaks in one last round of golf before his home state of Delaware is hit by Irene

FOX NEWS: Delaware was pounded by Hurricane Irene on Saturday night, but Vice President Biden got in one last round of golf in his home state before the heavy stuff started coming down, Fox News has learned.

Biden played golf at a Wilmington-area course on Saturday morning, according to two sources familiar with his schedule.
Asked directly whether Biden played golf on Saturday, Biden’s office would not comment to Fox News.

Biden’s official schedule released Friday showed him spending down time at home in Wilmington after a 10-day official trip to Asia.

BILL PRESS:

You see what this is again? These guys are terrorists! You know, Joe Biden, they say he’s getting in a little bit of trouble because he called them terrorists, but that’s exactly what they are.

They’ve taken us hostage again and they’re demanding 100% their ransom. And unless they get 100%, they’re holding a gun to our head. What do you call people who put a gun to your head and say, “Unless you pay me whatever, I’m going to kill you or kill this program.” You know what they call them? Terrorists! Exactly what they are over this FAA.”

So what ever happened to the era of civility in the wake of the Gabby Giffords shooting (that had nothing to do with politics)?

Bill Press is saying that the Republicans are terrorists because hitting the debt ceiling would mean President Obama would have to cut funding for the Federal Aviation Administration and send air traffic controllers home. Obama continues to say he might have to do that anyway.

But hold on a second.

$250 billion comes into the federal treasury every month — even if we had not raised the debt ceiling.

There’s no reason Obama would have to send the air traffic controllers home.

How about shut down the departments of Education, Energy, Commerce, Labor, HUD, large chunks of HHS?

Surely we could do without that tunnel for turtles that was build in Florida with Obama’s stimulus to help turtles pass safely under the highway. How are the turtles going to find that tunnel anyway?

This is the standard liberal playbook whenever there are government budget cuts.

They love to cut the services that people actually want.

The first items to go are always trash collection, fire fighters, police, snow removal — stuff we’ll actually miss.

It’s not Republicans who do this. It’s Democrats.

TOBY HARNDEN-U.K. TELEGRAPH: US officials have revealed that Osama bin Laden’s diaries contain the rather startling conclusion that he didn’t think Vice President Joe Biden was worth bumping off (hat tip: a tweet from my New York colleague Jon Swaine).

According to ProPublica, the Obama administration is briefing that Barack Obama was bin Laden’s the “top target” (no surprise there) while “military chiefs like the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the defense secretary” were also major scalps.

But Joe Biden’s scalp (hair plugs and all)? Apparently, not so much. A counterterrorism official said: “There is a note indicating that the vice president is not an important target because that position has less weight.”

TOBY HARNDEN-U.K. TELEGRAPH: Since President Barack Obama announced that “a small team of Americans” had killed Osama bin Laden, US government officials have carefully stuck to the line that they will not talk about which units were involved.

Obama did not say it was the SEALs. In numerous television appearances, Obama’s counter-terrorism chief John Brennan didn’t and his deputy national security adviser Denis McDonough didn’t. Despite the numerous news reports that named the SEALs, none of the anonymous briefers from the CIA and Pentagon would confirm it.

Here’s a typical response to a question about the SEALs from a senior defence official in a Pentagon briefing on Monday:

QUESTION: Can I ask you, can you confirm that it was a (Navy) SEAL team? And was this a specially designated team that had been practising or reviewing intelligence for a while and they were the unit of choice?

SENIOR DEFENCE OFFICIAL:  Not going to comment on units or numbers.

But here’s what the legendarily verbose and loose-lipped Vice President Joe Biden said at a dinner at Washington’s Ritz Carlton Hotel last night to mark the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council:

Let me briefly acknowledge tonight’s distinguished honorees.  Admiral James Stavridis is a, is the real deal.  He can tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday.

And:

Folks, I’d be remiss also if I didn’t say an extra word about the incredible events, extraordinary events of this past Sunday.  As Vice President of the United States, as an American, I was in absolute awe of the capacity and dedication of the entire team, both the intelligence community, the CIA, the SEALs.  It just was extraordinary.

 

WASHINGTON TIMES: As a thank-you to its most famous customer, Amtrak is renaming the train station in Wilmington, Del., after stimulus “sheriff” Vice President Joseph R. Biden – after the project received $20 million in stimulus money and came in $5.7 million over the initial announced budget.

Spokesmen for Mr. Biden, who said he personally fought for stimulus money for Amtrak, didn’t respond to messages Wednesday or Thursday.

But Amtrak said it alone made the decision to rename the station in honor of the vice president. The company also said its own budget projection was always greater than the $32 million the White House announced back in 2009 – though Amtrak itself also listed the $32 million cost that year, later raising the price tag to $37.7 million.
