If you read or listen to the political pundits, you don't know if the presidential race is between Obama vs Romney or Obama vs Ryan. Poor senile Joe Biden has been left out out of the debates altogether.
Stories like this are dominating the news.
From the Sacramento Bee: Who loves Medicare more? President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney's
running mate vied for that distinction Saturday as Medicare became the
latest flashpoint in a presidential campaign of flying elbows.
The
issue is dicey for both sides: Obama is steering billions from the
entitlement to help pay for the expansion of coverage under his health
care law; Paul Ryan
is a champion of overhauling Medicare to make the traditional program
no longer the mainstay for tomorrow's seniors — just one of many old-age
health insurance choices.
But that didn't stop them from going head on.
On a day Romney devoted to raising campaign cash in Massachusetts, Ryan
accused Obama of raiding the Medicare "piggybank" to pay for his health
care overhaul and he warned starkly that hospitals and nursing homes may
close as a result. The Wisconsin congressman introduced his 78-year-old
mother to an audience of seniors in Florida and passionately defended a
program that has provided old-age security for two generations of his
own family.

It seems that the selection of Paul Ryan has changed the debate in the presidential election and now, Obama has to answer Ryan, with lies, of course, but at least he is answering.
Poor Biden, he is a political orphan- no one is talking to him and he is bringing nothing to the table.
