Groupie No.1-I confess.
When Joe Biden goes on TV and talks about the many jobs saved and created by the Stimulus
money, and looks the camera in the eye and says "Honey, it's going to be all right" I actually think he is talking directly to me.
Can you imagine a world leader so humble that he tells the story of how his out of work father had to compromise his dignity to leave his children with his father- in- law while he sought work out of state? Biden is just so real- he talks about being a 3rd grader in a depressed time, presumably in Scranton (which experienced post-industrial slumps and huge unemployment)- when his Dad travelled to Delaware to find work promising to come back and get them. Heart wrenching.
Biden knows what struggle means- he understands first hand the struggles of middle America-how it can break a man. He knows he never wants this hardship visited on his children or his children's children.
I have a grandfather crush.
