What are the odds Biden even knows what chutzpah means?

(The Hill) — Vice President Biden returned to the campaign trail Wednesday, telling an Iowa crowd that “America is coming back” thanks to Obama administration policy and deriding Mitt Romney as “out of touch” with the American manufacturing sector.

“America is coming back,” he told a crowd at manufacturing plant in Davenport, according to NBC. “It’s not a political slogan, it’s a reality.”

The stop was one of four planned appearances for the vice president; Biden had previously spoken at campaign appearances in Ohio and Florida.

During his address, Biden mocked Romney, so is looking increasingly favorable as the GOP nominee, as consistently wrong on job creation.

Biden went on to say that electing a Republican in November would slow the economic recovery.

“Conventional wisdom that manufacturing is dead in this country is dead wrong, and we’ve got to maintain this momentum,” Biden said. “But one thing that would bring this momentum to a screeching halt is turning over the keys to the White House” to Santorum or Romney.

The vice president also joked Romney had “chutzpah” for suggesting the president was “out of touch” with American’s economic concerns.

“Out of touch? Romney?” Biden said. “As an old friend of mine says, that’s chutzpah.”
