OK, Biden is smart. He is a street fighter. He will cover Obama’s back. He is strong on foreign policy.
But what is he doing near the bottom of the Senate? After over 35 years you would think he’d learn a thing of two from his colleagues - like Frist of Tennessee and Stephens of Alaska.
No, our Joe just keeps plodding along. In 2005 he was ranked 99 of our 100 senators in terms of wealth.
What is wrong with this guy? Is he that slow a learner? Thirty-five years and he still doesn’t have a clue about how to use public office to line his pockets with cash! Seriously, can we trust this guy?
Biden’s total net worth (about $300,000) is less than one year of the tax break McCain will give himself if elected and his plan passes.
I grew up when some politicians were like this - they put the public welfare ahead of their personal interests. And there are times I yearn for those good old days. On the other hand, returning to that era could open the floodgates - I mean like, real small black and white TV screens.
