Regarding the U.S. Vice-Presidential debate:

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden did nothing to help President Obama get re-elected. In an attempt to rattle his opponent Paul Ryan, he was condescending, disrespectful and un-presidential. He childishly laughed through the first half of the debate. Then, when this didn't work he became angry and frustrated until he began to lose his voice toward the end (of the debate) coming across as someone as old and as tired as President Obama's failing economic and anti-life policies.

Ryan, in contrast looked fresh, humble, spirited and optimistic. He held his ground on all the issues and presented viewers with real hope for a positive future - especially where morality and religious freedom is concerned.

To take a page from Clint Eastwood, Joe Biden would have fared better had he just decided to use President Obama's "empty chair".

With respectful and cordial best wishes, I remain,
Sincerely Yours,
Paul Kokoski.
