At different times, nan president has mumbled and fumbled for words, arsenic he did successful nan first statesmanlike debate. 

The gaffes spell backmost to his years arsenic vice president.

In September 2008, Biden was astatine an arena successful Missouri wherever he called retired a authorities senator. 

'I'm told Chuck Graham, authorities senator, is here. Stand up Chuck, fto 'em spot you. Oh, God emotion you. What americium I talking about. I'll show you what, you're making everybody other guidelines up, though, pal,' he said.

Graham was successful a wheelchair.

There was moreover unit charged pinch devising strategies to support nan president from falling down, nan root said.

But, astatine his property convention connected Thursday night, Biden made it clear he's enactment successful nan race.
