If you are interested here's a link to an incredible speech by Maathai. http://www.holycross.edu/publicaffairs/features/2006-2007/maathai_audio (I can imagine the Bidens must have enjoyed meeting her.)

3. Oh, those are really great

5. did you see the thread about replacing Joe as VP?

I think it was a unanimous "no!"

Which was good. I love Joe.

7. Truly overwhelming in support of Joe.

FWIW the OP wasn't because s/he didn't think Joe was doing a good job, just that would it be better for the Dems in 2016 if they had another VP they could just ease into Obama's slot when his term was finished.

8. Valid observation, but someone made a good point that I hadn't even thought about

VPs don't usually become pres.

10. i've seen a couple of those OPs recently.

they make no sense. joe has been carrying his weight and then some in his role as vp. if any changes should be made, it should be getting him in front of the american people more often. nice pics by the way.

[PatSeg]

11. I agree totally

They need to use Joe more. Keep him out in the public eye where he can do the most good.

6. Whew! It's nice to come 'home' and see these! Thanks, P! nt
