What I love about VP Biden

Joe Biden goes "all in" on everything...he always has.

With Joe - what you see is what you get. Of course, sometimes that gets him into trouble. But it also gets us incredibly powerful moments like this (starting at 1:30).



In this way, VP Biden is pretty much the polar opposite of Barack Obama. But one of the reasons the President made such a good decision in picking him as his running mate is that Joe also goes all in on having your back.

When I read how people don't respect Joe or laugh him off as some sort of 'competent fool', it's how he connects and what he did in the video that makes me love him even more. He is a man with emotions and heart - something not found in the last administration. We, the US, are all better for having a man like Joe Biden in our administration.
Thank you!

I agree with you, he does connect with so many people. I am so very glad he is our VP. They are a good team and balance each other well.

I don't care what others say, he is a good man and so very good for this country that desperately needs to heel.

You are welcome.

That was a magnificent speech...very real and heartfelt. We are blessed to have both VP Biden and PBO.

I love the fact that he is not afraid to tell it like it is! It is STILL refreshing to me to have them in office!

the media was going to say about his comments - he told them they were more important.

makes me happy. Seriously. Jimmy Carter has the same impact on me. Don't know why - but they both give off good energy, good will, and warmth.

The second is the classic. You can see on the snively pup's face that he knows the old dog has him cold. I wouldn't want Joe looking at me like that!
