Vice President Joe Biden told ABC News that he believes President Obama’s performance in the foreign policy debate Monday night made up for his poor showing in the first debate.

He also went after Mitt Romney as unready for the job:

“[President Obama] clearly [has] made up for that but what Governor Romney showed today, and I felt a little badly because it’s clear he is not, he is not ready to be the commander-in-chief of the United States military,” the Vice President told me. “He demonstrated a lack of sophistication about what’s going on in the world, his rapid change in his positions. Look being president requires a clear vision and a steady hand. That’s exactly what president Obama demonstrated tonight.”
