themselves can t stop laugh every time someone falls she break in laughter. in one way when joe biden wants to show excitement and intensity. he can t help but smile. look at the left side of the screen. steve: rnc had a video put together . runs a minute long and shows all of the inappropriate laughs during moments of comber conversation by paul ryan and unemployment and stuff like that and in the end it said wh is so funny, joe? gretchen: usually saturday night life was funny and as i ran back from connecticut to new york, i was in a rush and i am running in front of the building and i hear gretchen, gretchen. a guy with head phones and i think i recognize that face a bit but not completely.
gretchen: you may remember this exchange of voter in iowa asking congressman paul ryan for more specifics on his plan to create jobs. this is how the exchange went down. where are the answers? i mean, why aren t you more specific? i heard you, was it sunday, when you were on fox, and you didn t answer his question about how we re going to what are your plans? oh, yeah, look, when you get into math conversation, it can take a little while. let me give you some specific answers. keystone pipeline is a perfect example. tens of thousands of job, let that oil from canada come into this country instead of sending it to china. jobs in america, lower prices, stop sending money to countries that don t like us. that s just plain, number one. gretchen: that exchange the obama campaign turned into an attack saying congressman ryan can t attend his own campaign rallies without being called out for fail to go provide specifics
watch. now here is why i m saying this. i hope i m going to get time to respond. you ll get time. we can do better than this. hope i ll get equal time. you will get just a few minutes here. i m really going to keep to you 15 seconds. he gets 40, i get 15. he didn t have 40. i think people will be better served if we don t keep interrupting. well, don t take all the four minutes then. gretchen: no doubt. according to our brain room, the total speaking time joe biden, 41 minute, 32 seconds. congressman paul ryan, 40 minutes, 12 seconds. almost even. but let me know. if you watched the whole thing, you don t get that impression because i don t know how you can calculate time with all those interruption. you give paul ryan, what, five seconds because then he was interrupted for five seconds. then he d talk for five more second, then interrupted for five more seconds. i don t know how you calculate the time. it seems like it was lop sided when you were watching it. b
the congressional budget office could actually analyze and crunch numbers on. they literally referred the budget committee to the press secretary and they gave them a copy of the speech. that s exactly as paul ryan said. that s failure of leadership. that s not how you get things done in washington. the executive has to lead. as we saw in the recent book by bob woodward, there has been a failure of leadership on the part of the president. that would be fixed with governor romney as president. he knows how to work across the aisle, get things done. as governor of massachusetts with an 85% democratic legislature, he was able to. brian: it s the ed gillespie he book include. gretchen: we ll see you after the presidential debate. brian: i will talk to you on radio. steve: meanwhile, the administration insists that all loan guarantees given to green energy companies like solyndra were based on the merits and not on political cronyism. brian: new e-mails obtained
gretchen: there is a difference between aggressiveness and rudeness. brian: true. gretchen: i m all for being a good debate, but i think after a while, you stop listening to what was actually said. brian: he did say my friend a lot. steve: and he didn t mean it. gretchen: they re not friends, come on! brian: they re probably together right now. steve: i think they re colleagues, but not friends. gretchen: fired up joe biden threw out all the punches during the debate was his performance strong enough to win over the all important undecided voters? steve: our buddy, frank luntz, sat down with a group of 27 independent voters in the state of ohio. frank? i m here in the most important state in america, ohio, cincinnati. we ve got 27 people who are trying to make up their minds who to vote for and they just watched the vice presidential debate. what did you think of joe biden? energized. disrespectful and arrogant. well informed.
