Biden's Smiling Provides Ammunition For Republican Party

During the debate Thursday night, current Vice President Biden was seen smirking and laughing while Paul Ryan argued his policies. The smirking has created quite an uproar and disagreement between political parties.

Republicans call the smirking disrespectful and inappropriate, especially when Biden was seen smirking during Ryan's argument about  the possibility of nuclear weapons in Iran. The Republican party believes Biden's smirking and laughing was a sign that the Democratic party is losing ground in the election. "The contrast between cool Ryan and overbearing Biden really hurts Biden. Biden is too hot - not effective," said former spokesman for Bush, Ari Fleischer.

On the other side, the Democrats viewed Biden's smirking as just, claiming that it is only right for Biden to laugh at the absurd policies that Ryan was discussing. The Democrats believe that accussing Biden for being insensitive and rude is just an act of desparation by the Republican party.

The media disagrees. NBC News' David Gregory said, "Biden's smile is out of control." Not only did Republicans and the media notice Biden's smirking. During the debate Twitter was trending with viewers criticizing and aapluding Biden's actions.

Shortly after the debate, the Republican party released a montage of Biden's smiling, which can be seen  here.
