It’s easy to see why people love this popular couple. Of all the speeches at the DNC Convention, Joe’s speech got top billing. He is seen as down to earth and approachable.
According to the Washington Post:
She’s looks down at her remarks and says, “I’ve seen Joe up close” while inadvertently holding her hands apart.
The crowd laughs. Jill, looking lovely in lavender, stops, realizing perhaps how personal that statement really is. She smiles and turns to Joe who is sitting behind her. The crowd cheers more.
“It’s in my remarks, really,” Jill says, looking back at Joe and seemingly blushing a bit.
She pauses and tries to calm the cheering, chuckling crowd. The camera pans to a wider shot, showing Joe, too, smiling and laughing. She carries on and Joe laughs.
“I’ve heard the urgency in his voice when he comes and talks about the people he’s met,” she says.
At that point, Joe laughs and shakes his head with a big grin on his face. Oh, love. It’s a splendid thing especially on the often stale campaign trail. It’s even better when there’s an unintended double entendre.
Who could really dislike the Bidens? Can you picture the Romneys in this type of exchange? I can’t.
Joe Biden speaking on Friday about college cheerleaders: “the stuff they do on hard wood blows my mind!”. Yeah, Joe……me too.
I know I’m going to take grief for this, but it instantly hit me when I saw the caption under the image. Here it goes … “He is seen as down to earth and approachable.” My reply:
Well, most clowns are, and that’s why children like them!
Oh come on, can’t you see the humor in that?
SA, I have always hated clowns..my entire life.
We don’t all like the same people. I have always liked Biden.
@SlowpokeRodriguez
evil grin
Now that is a BFD!
Moon, but what if the clown is gay? Then you CAN’T hate them … by law!
I can hate anyone. No one says you can’t hate gay people. In fact, it isnt even a law that you can’t discriminiate against them in Virginia.
You think so? Just give a group of gays some grief and see how fast you come under fire, or at least ask Paris Hilton. Some groups seem to be beyond criticism in our freedom of speech society!
SA, you said illegal. Her criticism is from peer pressure, not from the law.
Are you disliking gays because they are gay or because of other reasons?
No, not exactly, just making the point that some groups are ‘protected’ as if an endangered species.
Who is protecting gays? Surely you don’t think they are protected in virginia.
Again, ask Paris Hilton. Look, if someone makes a comment about peoples’ activities, and they happen to be from a certain ‘group’, then you know they will pay the price no matter how spot on the comment. Therefore they are ‘protected’.
sA, you are getting paranoid. We are talking about Paris Hilton here. She runs in different crowds than you do.
first off, why do you care? Paris is Hollywood. Of course Hollywood will protect gays–through peer pressure.
you and I can do what we want. We aren’t Hollywood.
Forget it. I was only struck by the fact that you used the word hate, and was trying to bring up a situation where you aren’t allowed to hate by virtue of public opinion, and it just got off track from there. Never mind. Back to Biden everyone.
Well I have to say Biden is probably the most honest one in the bunch. He really says what he thinks. And like most of us he screws up a lot.
Actually, he puts his foot in his mouth. He is likeable and most people just think “there goes, Joe.”
I knew I was going to be hating life about this time of year. This is the part of politics I really hate.
I actually like Joe.
The idea that he’s one heartbeat away from the Presidency scares the bejeebus out of me.
I think everyone scares the bejesus out of you Cargo.
You dislike way too much. What do you like about this country?
@Moon-howler
Didn’t you see that I said that I LIKE Joe? I just don’t want him as President.
Ryan and Romney don’t scare the bejeebus out of me.
They should. @Cargo. Romney would have us at war with London.
with London?
