Biden blunder ‘buries’ Bam

With a running mate like this, who needs an opponent?

Vice President Joe Biden told a North Carolina campaign rally yesterday the middle class has been “buried” for the past four years — a period of time that just happens to include most of his boss’ term in the White House.

Lashing out over what the Obama campaign contends are Mitt Romney’s plans to raise taxes on most Americans to fund cuts for the wealthy, Biden whipped up the partisan crowd in Charlotte.

“This is deadly earnest. How they can justify . . . raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years?” Biden asked, in his latest gaffe to cause a headache for President Obama.
