A story about Joseph R. Biden
The first time I saw him was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Senator Biden told Stewart that he would never run for President. It just broke my heart because Biden is such a cogent and attractive man. Truly every time I see him or hear him speak I grow more and more impressed that there is a politician who is in touch with reality. It should not be too much to ask for a genuine, intelligent individual to be representing the U.S. and her people.
This appearance I’ve described was last year before Bush was reelected. And thank God, it looks like Biden changed his mind after the 2004 election and the tangled puppetry of Mr. Bush’s Administration. On June 20th he announced on Face the Nation his plans to seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. Stewart had Biden on again in the last couple months where he discussed his change of heart. Like Stewart, I am quite happy with this news…
