Sorry my darling.........I sincerely apologize. I left both my b/berry and Droit charging and kind of put them on silent mode....then I was out of the network……So, it is the reason I did not get any of your messages and from others alike.
All my mind and everything was focused on Joe Biden coming on stage and everything else in between was like wasting my time and frustrating my focus.
In short, Biden did exactly what I looked-forward and expected he would do. He proved that fact that, Presidential Leadership is not anywhere close to salesmanship job. It requires tact, forecast and strategy......trategy is maths which you must calculate.......you must have a plan to get it right......
Joe was Joe we all love.........He dominated the Debate and did not give the Lad any chance to spew lies but took opportunity to school him and straighten him out. Joe laid his facts passionately and clearly with decorum and captivated every moment of the time. I was thrilled and very happy to see how Paul Ryan scrambled and tried his best even as he tried "at short quick intervals" to lubricate his mouth and throat with sips of water, he did not find escape route.... his throat kept drying….Joe Biden was on him like he could not believe what he saw........
Ryan tried to steady jabs without clear facts or substances; but however much he tried, blows kept coming towards him. At one point he was reminded by Joe about a referenced evidence at Joe Biden's website, which he benefited from a stimulant package for Reform he officially sent requested through Biden and for which Ryan has never spoken about or showed appreciation..........It is true, one cannot eat and pooh on the same place you ate from.....but atleast with human empathy, there should be some kind of a show of recognition where someone has done some good.........Give Credit where Credit is Due........In addition, Ryan was reminded about shared sacrifice in unity of purpose more or so when the Country is under attack.....People come together and plan and share common values........and, Joe Biden took opportunity to remind the audience and people watching from the comfort of their homes and across the world, how much President Obama sacrificed and achieved since taking office and the reason why America is respected all over the world which is why the world can look back and be proud that the world is free from terrorist attacks and .........there are more good things to come.
Joe made my night and my words were finished.......I am soo happy and many people I believe feel the same.......I have not yet found the right words to use.......I am still gathering momentum.........I am proud of Joe and those of like minded because I know we have very many good people out there and we shall have a wonderful world full of Peace and happiness......

DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) — In a spirited debate that laid out stark choices, Joe Biden and Paul Ryan teed up pointed arguments on the economy, social policy and America's place in the world that President Barack Obama and GOP rival Mitt Romney now will drive forward into the campaign's final stretch. With just 25 days to go in Campaign 2012 and throngs of people already voting, Obama and Romney will try to answer two questions that their running mates posed to the tens of millions of Americans who watched Thursday's hard-fought, 90-minute debate. "Who do you trust?" Biden asked. "Wouldn't it be nice to have a job-creator in the White House?" asked Ryan. Biden, eager to make up for the president's lackluster performance in his first debate with Romney, played the aggressor throughout. And the president gave his running mate a quick thumbs up for delivering with the energy and feeling that he did not. "His passion for making sure that the economy grows for the middle class came through so I'm really proud of him," Obama said after watching the debate aboard Air Force One on the way home after a day of campaigning in battleground Florida. Ryan came back at the vice president with harsh talking points, a flurry of statistics and a sharp economic warning: In another Obama term, he said, "Watch out, middle class, the tax bill's coming to you." Romney, who watched the debate at the end of a campaign day in North Carolina, got on the phone to Ryan immediately afterward to congratulate his running mate. Now attention shifts to the two remaining debates between Obama and Romney: Tuesday's "town hall" style faceoff in Hempstead, N.Y., and a final showdown, over foreign policy, on Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla. And the campaigns get right back into the thick of it on Friday, looking for ways large and small to shift more voters their direction in the small number of states whose electoral votes are still up for grabs: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. Look for Romney in Virginia and then linking up with Ryan in Ohio. Biden and wife Jill will woo young voters at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Obama will spend a rare day in Washington, preparing for the next two debates and taking campaign contest winners out to eat. With so little time left in the countdown to Nov. 6, "every day, every hour counts," said Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayor who served as Obama's first White House chief of staff. "Everything counts." The president has set aside a serious chunk of time for preparation after being faulted for underestimating the importance of his first debate with Romney. He'll be hunkered down in Williamsburg, Va., from Saturday until Tuesday rehearsing, with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass, acting as a proxy for Romney. Romney's return to Ohio this weekend signals the importance of a state seen by both sides as the decisive to the whole election. Obama holds the edge there. Obama had to hope that Biden's solid showing on Thursday was enough to shift a campaign dynamic that has had the momentum moving Romney's way since the first debate. Romney, for his part, had to hope that Ryan's performance would keep up the good karma for the GOP. The running mates clearly sensed that the stakes were higher than usual for their faceoff, and both played hardball throughout, frequently interrupting one another and challenging one another's assertions. On television's split screens, Biden's body language — a montage of pained smiles, winces, head shakes and eye rolls — often screamed incredulity when Ryan was speaking. "I know you're under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground," Ryan shot back at Biden at one point, "but I think people would be better served if we don't keep interrupting each other." In one of the night's lighter moments, Ryan helpfully provided a translation of one of Biden's putdowns. "This is a bunch of stuff," Biden said of Ryan's dismissive characterization of the president's Iran policy. "What does that mean, a bunch of stuff?" asked moderater Martha Raddatz of ABC News. "It's Irish," Ryan offered. "It is," Biden agreed, to laughter from the audience. "We Irish call it malarkey." At another point, Ryan used Biden's own history of gaffes to explain away Romney's much-criticized comment dismissing the 47 percent of Americans who pay no taxes, a comment that Biden brought up repeatedly after Obama had failed to mention it in his debate. "I think the vice president very well knows that sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth the right way," Ryan said. There were spirited exchanges on taxes, abortion, Medicare, Libya, and more. It may not have broken new ground, but the conversation gave viewers a clear illustration of the sharp choices before them come Election Day. "In case you haven't noticed, we have strong disagreements," Biden said in his closing statement. And then he distilled the Democrats' campaign pitch into a simple bid to give anxious Americans "a little bit of peace of mind." Ryan then spoke of the "big choice" in this election, and argued that Obama had had his chance and failed. "This is not what a real recovery looks like," he said. "You deserve better." For all of the political back-and-forth that's transpired over the past two months, the race essentially stands where it was in August, before the two national political conventions, with the two candidates running about even in national polls. There's been no shortage of drama in between: the revelation of Romney's caught-on-tape comment about the 47 percent, Biden's remark that the middle class has been "buried" in the past four years, Obama's weak showing in the first debate, the ongoing tussle over the administration's handling of the attack that left four Americans dead in Benghazi, Libya, and more. With turnout critical, both campaigns are devoting considerable energy to ensuring that supporters are registered to vote and taking advantage of the early voting options that are available in many states. Nearly a million Americans have already voted. The Democrats' month-long "gotta vote" bus tour will be in Milwaukee on Friday, just in time to rev up supporters for the opening of Wisconsin's early voting season on Monday. And both sides are keeping up the push for campaign contributions to keep the battleground-state airwaves full of political ads. Within a few hours of the debate, Romney, Obama and Biden all were out with emails to their supporters, asking for more cash. ___ Benac reported from Washington. Body language: Love or hate him, it was all JoeBy JOCELYN NOVECK | Associated Press – 4 hrs ago
Because really, who needed a "Sesame Street" character to grab all the post-debate attention when there was Joe Biden's smile— or laugh, chuckle, grimace, grin, smirk, or "goofy face," according to various descriptions? Whether you loved or hated his performance — a decision that seemed to split (surprise!) along partisan lines — it was Biden who dominated the conversation during and after Thursday's vice-presidential debate, with his animated facial reactions to almost anything his opponent, Paul Ryan, uttered. The vice president also came up with the two catchiest phrases of the night — "bunch of malarkey" and "bunch of stuff" — both of them employed (and tweeted, and retweeted) to paint his Republican opponent as untruthful. Some impressions of the night, from political communication and body language experts: WHATEVER YOU CALLED IT, IT WORKED: "I'm not sure what that was — a smile? Not really. Not a laugh, either," said Katherine Hall Jamieson, a professor of political communication at the University of Pennsylvania. "And actually not a grin. It was really just something that said, 'I have an answer to that and I'm holding it.'" Was it appropriate? That, said Jamieson, would simply depend on one's allegiance. "The Republicans are trying to advance the argument that Biden was behaving in an unhinged fashion," she said. The Democrats, of course, thought it was great. Another expert in the field thinks that even if some viewers were offended by the smiling, for lack of a better word, it helped Biden control the agenda. "I think it was part of an overall strategy to keep Ryan off stride," said Jerry Shuster, who teaches political communication at the University of Pittsburgh. "He really couldn't ever finish a thought." Jamieson echoed that: "Whenever you're paying attention to the person reacting, it draws attention from the person talking," she said. In any case, it seemed to be just what President Barack Obama needed from his running mate. "If I were the president's doctor I would say, 'This is just what I ordered,'" Shuster said. ENGAGING, OR A TURNOFF: While many found Biden's grins infectious, some found them immature. "That mugging, those condescending looks — it was a complete turnoff," said body language expert Lillian Glass, author of the upcoming "Body Language Advantage." ''He was bullying, he was smug, he interrupted ... I think he lost a lot of his message based on facial gestures." Biden may have been deemed the winner by many, but "from a body language point of view, he did not win this debate," she said. A GOOD FIRST OUTING FOR RYAN: Even though he's much less experienced than Biden, experts agreed that it was a first good outing for Ryan. "He passed the threshold of being an acceptable vice president — through his command of foreign policy, which is a difficult threshold since he's a domestic policy wonk," said Jamieson. "He was more gentlemanly," said Glass, in Los Angeles. "He looked at the vice president, and didn't ever mug, or make a face." LONG LIVE THE MODERATOR: ABC's Martha Raddatz got much praise for her smart and swift moderating — with some people tweeting that SHE was the evening's winner. A noted exception: Fox News host Sean Hannity, who tweeted, "Martha Raddatz is the worst moderator ever." He and some others believed she was too quick to cut off Ryan and to let Biden talk over him. In any case, her performance was seen by most as a clear contrast to PBS' Jim Lehrer's in last week's debate between Obama and Mitt Romney. REBUTTAL WITNESSES: Skillful moderator or not, this debate was much more substantial than the Obama-Romney face-off because the two men answered each other and really engaged in a give-and-take. "Both candidates were effective in rebuttal," said Jamieson. "But especially Biden controlled the agenda by rebutting EVERYTHING — both in words and in gestures." VOCABULARY LESSON: In the Webster's New World Dictionary, "malarkey" means "insincere, meaningless or deliberately misleading talk." In the vice-presidential debate, it meant a separate hashtag on Twitter and lots of attention for Biden's folksy style. "With all due respect, that's a bunch of malarkey," he told Ryan. He did what Democrats wished Obama had done last week with Romney: Call out the opponent when you think he's being untruthful. Biden also told Ryan: "This is a bunch of stuff," referring to the congressman's criticism of Obama's treatment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Shuster, the University of Pittsburgh professor, liked the phrase, but thought Biden really wanted to say something, er, stronger. NOT HOLDING HIS AGE AGAINST HIM: At 69, Biden was debating a man 27 years his junior. That was not lost on many in the Twitterverse, who sent various tweets referring to Ryan's tender age of 42. But nowhere was Biden's consciousness of the age gap clearer than when Ryan mentioned President John F. Kennedy as an example of a president who made certain cuts before. "Oh, now you're Jack Kennedy!" Biden quipped — perhaps eager to channel Sen. Lloyd Bentsen and his famous "You're no Jack Kennedy" quip to then opponent Dan Quayle. "I knew that was coming because of the age difference," says Shuster. "I even told my students in class today to expect it." --- On Fri, 10/12/12, Nelson Oreje <nelsonoreje@gmail.com> wrote: From: Nelson Oreje <nelsonoreje@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [uchunguzionline] My promise to you and Barack tonight To: uchunguzionline@yahoogroups.com, "Judy Miriga" <jbatec@yahoo.com>, "progressive-kenyans" <progressive-kenyans@googlegroups.com> Date: Friday, October 12, 2012, 12:27 AM Judy, I had earlier asked you at what time (GMT) you didn't answer.
