Great photo and interesting info. Nice to know that Joe has interest in design, and that she and Michelle are really chums. What fun it is to have an administration to admire, be fascinated by and identify with again. For me Obama is the best since JFK, and my all time favorites are Thomas Jefferson, Lincoln, JFK, Obama.

I think she is gorgeous and it is nice to get to know her. She is not supposed to know that I had a crush on Joe for years. So now the cat is out of the bag. I wish her the very best in Washington.

She is adorable. It’s nice to think we’ll become better acquainted with lifestyles that produce such admirable people. I just hope it will come from the Bidens and the Obamas and not a bunch of snoopy, anonymous sources.

A Man and a Woman” on the first date… Joe you rascal.

DeBurca, My sentiments exactly. Wonder what their second date was like. Whatever it was, Jill liked his plans. Best,

DeB, I thought that, too. They are so darling together. After losing his first wife and baby daughter so tragically, am sure he relishes every moment with someone he so obviously adores and admires, and it is a blessing for his two boys, too. Two educated people with great values one heart beat away instead of the running soap-opera….saved.

You know on Inauguration Day that is what I thought everytime I looked at Joe Biden… just how very secure I feel knowing that the Presidency is in the hands of Barack Obama and that Joe Biden is in the wings, a heartbeat away. The thought of what might have been, sends a cold shiver up my spine, sort of like just missing being hit by a fast train!

Somebody needs to take you out to the woodshed, harvey, and teach you a good lesson. You comments are disgusting and disrespectful. You do not belong here with civilized people.

You have to look at the caliber of posts coming from the republicans in here, alex is a great example, and think that the Republican Party has degenerated into something that doesn’t really even resemble a political party… more of a frat club.
