U.S. Vice President Joe Biden waves as he arrives at Borispol airport outside Kiev, Ukraine on Monday April 21, 2014. Vice President Joe Biden on Monday launched a high-profile visit to demonstrate the U.S. commitment to Ukraine and push for urgent implementation of an international agreement aimed at de-escalating tensions even as violence continues. Biden planned to meet Tuesday with government leaders who took over after pro-Russia Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in February following months of protests. The White House said President Barack Obama and Biden agreed he should make the two-day visit to the capital city to send a high-level signal of support for reform efforts being pushed the new government.

    Who would have guessed that, with hindsight, Joe would have been our best bet to see off Trump? I didn’t.

    I have a feeling that we may not have seen the last of this good man.

  3. Ya 20 -20 hindsight indeed. I thought Hillary would be able to do it. I underestimated so much the coordinated attacks on Hill and just plain Joe would have come out swinging for the very demographic that abandoned Hillary .
    He would have come out swinging and reduced the Orange menace to a footnote in history.

  4. He may be heading up a non-profit to continue The Cancer Moonshot program

  5. As much as I respect and appreciate Michelle Obama, I have to disagree Joe BIden’s calling her the finest first lady (paraphrase); I still think that particular praise should go to Eleanor Roosevelt. She had a hard life in many ways but she spoke up for human rights at a time when women were expected to be quiet. Her crusade was decades long and she maintained it until the end of her life. I do look forward to seeing what Michelle Obama will do and say once out of the White House; she has certainly been very careful to not get in the way of Barack Obama’s policies by being too controversial. I do have to agree with Joe Biden in his praise for these truly caring and intelligent people who have had the courage to take on these roles. They inspire all of us to be our best selves.
