Vice President Joe Biden predicted last night that the 2012 campaign will be about “strength and leadership,” and declared that the killing of Osama bin Laden had caused the American people to take a “second look” at the Obama administration.
“We have a leader with a backbone like a ramrod and now – now – the real Barack Obama, the president who inherited the most god-awful circumstance any president has inherited, is coming into sharp focus,” Biden told New Hampshire Democrats, calling the Bin Laden operation “the boldest decision … any president has undertaken on a single event in modern history.” Biden argued that the death of the terrorist leader had caused Americans to see even unpopular decisions, such as bailing out the banks, with “a longer lens, more perspective … People are now beginning to take a second look at those incredibly difficult, but absolutely necessary decisions the president had to make the day we walked into the West Wing.”
