Biden at his very best

[JaneQPublic]

With the VP debate coming up Thursday, and with the label “gaffe machine” now firmly affixed to Joe Biden, I thought I’d post this incredibly moving talk he had with the grieving loved ones of fallen service members, to show at least one time where he says all the right things, by speaking from the heart and from personal experience.

It’s a very gripping speech. I defy anyone who watches it to keep a dry eye.

1. Start 2 min, 39 sec in, to skip the intro formalities.

I tried to set the clip to start there automatically, but I see the code is trailing after the Youtube frame.

Ah well, true fans of Joe will want to see the whole thing anyway.

2. No one, not anyone-

Can deny Our VP has a heart. I am so proud of him. He is a rarity in politics.

3. Ryan "What-his-name" could NEVER give a speech like this.

4. I have seen this before and it still gets to me.

That man has a really good heart.

Ryan has no evidence of one at all.

8. actually if someone held him down and looked...

it wouldn't be surprising they found the mark of the beast on his hide somewhere.

5. I always thought Joe was a good person

and now I know he is. Thanks for posting this; I hadn't seen or heard it.

Wow! Just wow!
Worth seeing, all the way to the end.
