Biden In NH: GOP Candidates Promoting Bush-Era Policies

ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — In his latest trip to New Hampshire, Vice President Joe Biden says the 2012 election offers a clearer choice than usual because for the first time in his career, Republicans "are not hiding the ball."

Biden told reporters Thursday that rather than pretending to be compassionate conservatives, the Republican presidential hopefuls are being straightforward in promoting tax and regulatory policies Biden characterized as a return to the Bush administration.

Biden also spoke to employees of two Rochester companies that have used a federal Labor Department grant to work with a local community college for job training.

Biden said after years of economic distress, Americans are tired of being tired. But he says he's also tired of naysayers who insist that American manufacturers can't compete.
