This post from former President Barack Obama in defense of his VP’s utterly wretched debate performance has a little bit of everything:

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit.

See? There’s the faux self-deprecating joke about Obama’s own bad debate against Mitt Romney, and the ridiculous assertion that Biden has fought for ordinary folks his entire life, all rounded out with a nifty bit of gaslighting.

Don’t even get us started on how Biden ‘will give it to American people straight’. He’ll give it to us straight all right, if you know what we mean and we think you do.

As you can imagine, the whole thing went over like a lead balloon. More than one person noticed that if Obama were a real friend to Biden, he wouldn’t allow what looks an awful lot like elder abuse to continue:

If you were really a Friend of Joe, you would have a Serious Discussion with him about Stepping-Aside and allowing someone else to Run as the Democratic Candidate. Allowing him to Peacefully Retire to his Family Home in Delaware.
