Biden says he will strangle Republicans…

Vice President Joe Biden (pictured) told Democrats at a Minnesota fundraiser that he'll "strangle" members of the GOP who complain about the federal budget.

According to a pool report from Tuesday's event in Dayton, Biden was telling the crowd that Democrats know how to balance the budget. He said, "If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them."

He quickly added: "To the press, that's a figure of speech."

Earlier in the day, Biden spoke at a rally at Macalester College in St. Paul and focused on the Obama administration's efforts to turn the economy around.

Biden didn't mention that the Obama administration has not come close to balancing the budget: a near impossible task after trillions of dollars in stimulus and bailouts since Mr. Obama entered the White House.
