Vice President Biden said he understood the frustration that led many West Virginia Democrats to vote for a felon over President Obama in the state’s presidential primary.
Asked what he made of a felon sitting in a Texas prison who won four out of 10 Democratic primary voters in West Virginia, Biden told Ohio television station WTOV that he doesn’t blame people who are frustrated and angry over the economy.
“Look, I come from a household where whenever there’s a recession, somebody around my grandpop or my dad’s table lost a job. A brother, a sister a friend, a neighbor,” Biden said. “When you’re out of work, man, it’s a depression.”
Biden said a lot of Americans are still hurting because of the recession the Obama administration inherited.
“And so I don’t blame people. They’re frustrated, they’re angry,” Biden said.
He added that Americans would eventually decide that the path back to employment and prosperity would lead them to Obama’s approach rather than Mitt Romney’s.

Still blaming bush 4 years later amazing
Obama’s approach? What approach would that be? He has no plan other than to blame Bush and hope the economy rebounds on its own.
3.5 yrs later and we still uuse bush as an excuse. unemployment was at 4 % and now its 8% after he spent all this money on a bill that “has to be passed right now or else”
40% is only the beginning. It’s looking like 0bama will actually lose the primary in Arkansas.
