Joe Biden Is On A Quest To Save America’s ‘Soul’
****************************
By Joe Biden for The Atlantic
In January of 2009, I stood waiting in Wilmington, Delaware, for a train carrying the first African American elected president of the United States. I was there to join him as vice president on the way to a historic Inauguration. It was a moment of extraordinary hope for our nation–but I couldn’t help thinking about a darker time years before at that very site.
My mind’s eye drifted back to 1968. I could see the flames burning W
Thanks grandpa Joe. You are a good man and I am proud to have been able to witness that goodness time and time again. Joe does speak to our value as a person every time he pushes back on injustice. A great American.
Yes, Curt, I completely agree! I love Joe! We need him or a man like him as our President! After they rip out all that gold crap that assface has now plastered everywhere in the White House. I mean, c’mon, how many golden eagles does a guy need? tacky gold crap everywhere.

They need to rip out the orange crap, forget the gold.

On another critical note:
Anyone think the answer is no? “Did Climate Change Intensify Hurricane Harvey?”

I appreciate Joe Bidden’s service to the country, but please let’s produce some candidates that not only have political skills, but as well – wide ranging intellectual/critical thinking skills, management experience, great courage, imagination and at an age where those skills, health, imagination and energy are not actuarially threatened by the candidates age. Trump sadly has none of these attributes. Bidden may have had many of them, but he is far too old to think of becoming President. It’s time to remove the US Presidency from the bucket list of people way past their primes and especially those that are the idle rich.
Problem getting a good qualified candidate is they are too smart to get into the mess! On a very serious note, the kind of person we need is not gonna be a rich one. Getting elected requires deep pockets. It has gone to such a level that a normal person cannot even compete with the costs — even to build a base of volunteers to help raise some money requires money to operate a volunteer group! That is why rich old guys are filling all those seats in our government! Ridiculous mess.
