An angry Vice Biden roared out a fiery speech against Mitt Romney today, insisting that he and other Republicans did not understand the middle class.

Biden said he "resented" when political opponents suggest that people like him who grew up in the middle class, were "envious" of wealthy people and "don't dream."

"My mother and father dream just as much as any rich guy dreams!" Biden yelled, noting that his mother and father believed he could be Vice President. "They don't get us, they don't get who we are!"
