Scranton in our hearts: Joe Biden may be leaving us, but his memory will stay forever

[DonViejo]

Joe Biden was the vice president we needed from 2009 to 2017

Democrats are going to miss President Obama when he leaves office next month. But the leader of the country has often taken a back seat to his partner and second-in-command, Joe Biden, who won over Americans’ hearts over the past eight years.

Here are some of the best Joe Biden moments, which will make us all realize just why we’ll miss him.

10. The Obama-Biden bromance

When Barack Obama selected Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate in 2008, he did so because the six-term senator would add some much-needed experience to Obama’s résumé. By the 2012 election, however, the Obama-Biden relationship had blossomed into a genuine friendship, one that has been dutifully chronicled in photographs plastered all over the Internet.

9. He’s a meme machine.

No discussion of Biden’s vice presidency is complete without the Obama-Biden memes that have spread like wildfire. But from the man parodied in The Onion to his love of ice cream, Biden has shown he’s meme-worthy.

2. I'm a huge Joe Biden fan...

He was my choice for President with Obama as Vice President. I was looking forward to Obama becoming President after 8 years in the Executive Branch. At the time Biden was pummeled on this board. Needless to say I was thrilled when President-Elect Obama chose Joe as his Vice President. We will all miss Joe who has served our country for so long.

3. Given the number of high profile...

...deaths in the past week, your title scared the hell out of me for a minute.

I totally adore Joe Biden. Jill Biden is a lucky woman.
