Wow! Is anybody else watching that clip of Joe Biden on TRMS?

[Brigid]

Awesome! Somebody who knows how please post it in Videos. Rachel was right; I never saw anything like it.

1. Brought tears to my eyes...he made all the gaffes media folks tell you not to do

but you could not hide what he was expressing in his heart..

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. And I would gladly quote word for word

[malaise]

2. Unfreakingbelievable

That was breath-taking - thanks for playing that Rachel
He talked about the phone call he received on that December day when his wife and daughter were killed and then he gave them hope re that horrific black hole into which people plunge after losing a loved one. That was so moving.



Click latest later tonight - you have to see that clip

6. I know exactly what mountain he was talking about..

I have been there, looked over the edge but decided that I could not cause anymore pain to the people that I love

[renate]

14. I'm glad you made that decision

It was brave, and loving, of you.

5. Very powerful. Totally connected with his audience.

The home run was when he talked about others saying they "know how you feel".

[malaise]

7. Hell yes

They got it

[RebelOne]

8. Saw it. Very powerful. n/t

[Tennessee Gal]

9. Mitt does not have even one ounce of that type of sincerity in his whole body.

Now watch the right wing hate machine find something to pounce on in that speech. We all know they will. They are a disgusting lot.

10. K, R, & bookmarking for when the video is posted later. Thanks to OP & replies.

11. Took my breath away.

I'd always thought of VP Biden as something like comic relief...until I saw that. It reminded me of some of the things Lincoln said when agonizing over the casualties on both sides during the Civil War while worrying about his own enlisted son and close friends.
Mr. Biden is now on my List of Very Good People.

12. Biden is a good guy, has a good heart. And he has not enriched himself while holding office.

I heard recently that he has the least assets in the Senate. I've always liked him, no matter his little awkward moments verbally!

[blue neen]

15. His comments were beautifully spoken and so touching.

It was a very special moment.

[Greybnk48]

16. His words were beautiful and heartfelt.

I've never seen anything like it either.

I must admit I have such a soft spot in my heart for him anyway because I've known the tragic story of his young family and how he cared for his boys. Going home every single night on the train to be with them. What a great dad and a wonderful man.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

17. To live through

a tragedy such as Joe did, but then to find love again is such a testament to his humanity.

18. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[broiles]

19. Both my husband and I teared up watching it.

It was beautiful and sincere.
