Lamest thing ever said in a debate?

In the Ryan VS Biden debate, when the moderator mentioned the unemployment rate, Biden pointed out that it had recently dropped to 7.8 percent.

What was Ryan's rebuttal to this? Pointing out that there is town in Wisconsin with an unemployment rate higher than that.

Wow, what a great comeback. Even better would be if he pointed out that his pal, Dave, lost his job during the Obama administration. Then he could follow that up with "The unemployment rate of Dave sky-rocketed up to 100% during Obama's presidency! The American people deserve better than this!"

And people wonder why Biden was laughing at him the entire night.

    The lamest thing in a debate is any sentence that begins with "I will...." because a candidate cannot single-handedly accomplish ANYTHING.

    The Congress and the Senate are our lawmakers, not the president. The most the POTUS can do is veto (and even that can be overridden with enough votes in chambers).

    Actually, it was obama last night when in one sentence he said ... I've kept all my campaign promises... and the ones i didn't keep, it wasn't from a lack of trying.. I'll fulfill the rest in the next four years... yes.. definitely dumb...
