Photo of Biden when he thought no one was looking

[KayF]

His name is Rashid and he is sometimes a guest at Georgetown Ministry Center, frequenting GMC for services like showers and laundry. Like Biden, he has also served his country. Rashid, an Air Force veteran, traveled the globe during the Vietnam War, drawing maps and bomb plots to support U.S. troops in the heat of battle. “I was honored and proud to serve,” he says of his time in service.

Rashid has experienced homelessness for some time now and when he saw Biden exiting the movie theater last Thursday evening, he asked him for some money so he could buy a sandwich.

Biden obliged — and then he stayed to talk.

“He didn’t think I recognized him,” Rashid said of the former dignitary. As they spoke, Rashid shared of the struggles he has been experiencing in receiving assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically with procuring a housing voucher that would enable him to receive decent, safe and sanitary housing — leaving behind a life on the streets.

It was then that Biden went back into the theater for a pen and paper and jotted down a phone number. It was a personal contact who could assist in helping Rashid. As Biden handed him the slip of paper, a bystander snapped a photo on his phone’s camera — and the rest, as they say in our digital age, is recent history.

1. Good for Biden! He has a heart.

[Agschmid]

2. Thanks for posting.

[hlthe2b]

3. It hurts that his inner kindness is being so misrepresented...

I haven't decided on who I support for the primaries (though I have about five favorites), but Biden does not deserve the likes of Flores and her self-attention-grabbing slime campaign

[Kurt V.]

4. biden is a caring, compassionate person. he is also a bad choice for POTUS.

[dhill926]

18. Please explain...

and not being snarky here...

[Hassin Bin Sober]

22. Yep!

[Demsrule86]

24. He is the only one who can win 20 Mark my words.

[LakeArenal]

29. Ditto.

Biden is the most qualified.

[Volaris]

39. Ehgh. ...god this primary fight is gonna suck for us lol.

Sigh...and that's a good thing. But do not kid yourself. If we thought Clinton Sanders was a boxing match, this one is going to be 'welcome to thunderdome, bitch' levels of bad until it's over, I suspect.

I'm undecided as yet (full disclosure)

Biden has exp at State. That counts for a LOT for me after Trump's idea of Foreign Policy, if Joe REALLY wants to take another shot at this.

[marble falls]

41. We just might beat ourselves.

[northoftheborder]

45. I haven't decided who to support yet, but.....

Biden is the only one running with vast experience and knowledge with foreign leaders and foreign policy. Our reputation in the world has been greatly damaged and diminished under the Dotard, hopefully, not beyond repair. His domestic experience in Congress and as Vice-President also gives him big points.

[Kurt V.]

55. on paper , gore and kerry, were electable. obama and trump were not

[Demsrule86]

59. This is unlike any election in our lifetime. Three states matter...who else can win them?

[DownriverDem]

28. Biden can win the Electoral College

That's all that counts. That's all that matters. Biden running with a progressive Dem woman (Harris?) would be a formidable ticket.

[Demsrule86]

47. That would be a great ticket.

[Kurt V.]

50. he is not the only one. we need someone who reflects 2020 dem electorate more closely

[samnsara]

54. i have always wanted harris with joe...but when they mentioned Stacey...

..i smiled...thats a great ticket too. cant we just have shared presidency with all of them?

[Cha]

32. That's your opinion. I disagree.

[Eliot Rosewater]

52. Why do DEMOCRATS tolerate non Democrats BASHING our main people?

[Kurt V.]

53. I'm for harris too atm. we need stark contrast to trump. biden isn't that.

[lark]

44. Please defend or explain your statement.

Why do you think he is a bad choice for POTUS. i think he'd be a totally brilliant president and would win the race to get there.

[Kurt V.]

49. bc boomers need to pass the baton. and he isn't even a boomer. he's not going to create the

Necessary enthusiasm.

[Pope George Ringo II]

5. Biden's character is a strong point. They may try, but nobody can take that away from him.

[BlueFlorida]

6. Biden and all the real Democrats running

have empathy. Caring for people looms larger in their hearts than personal ideology and ego.

Can't be said of one of the candidates. I see only anger and slogans and pride about ideology in him.

[Chemisse]

7. Biden is a good human being.

It makes me sad to see people use his compassion as a weapon against him. (re: recent 'accusations')

[Gothmog]

8. I really Joe Biden, the person

[sarge43]

9. Barack Obama thinks the world of him. Nuff said. n/t

[DavidDvorkin]

10. My God, do you see how close Biden is standing to that man?!

[Dream Girl]

33. He's in his personal space. Totally inappropriate!

[Politicub]

64. Quick... someone grab a yardstick!

There's a limit for these things, ya know.

[Ilsa]

11. The trumpenutters will claim JB is buying

Drugs from this "obvious" criminal. (He's black, so he's probably a drug dealer, right?)

[left-of-center2012]

12. My thoughts exactly !

[Honeycombe8]

13. Very moving. I bet he gets asked things like that a lot.

I'm afraid I would lose patience with always being asked for something. He's a natural politician.

He's a decent, compassionate man. High quality.

[UniteFightBack]

14. Joe might be annoying to some as we see but this is PREDICTED CHARACTER ASSASSINATION

and I say we don't do it. Same thing with bullshit from 40 fucking years ago. I want to hear about the future not a fucking rehash.

[videohead5]

15. Some women is now claiming

He rubbed her nose with his. Is this a April fools joke?

[Demsrule86]

26. She likes a different candidate and said she wanted him not to run.

[Thekaspervote]

16. I had seen that.. but thx for posting.....his heart is in the right place

[AdamGG]

17. Trump would tell this guy to "have a good time" and throw paper towels at him

[Vdizzle]

19. Biden is a good dude....

Just read his backstory. He is a great guy. I would be honored to be able to vote for him in a general election. Honored. Full stop.

[Dem2theMax]

20. Thank you very much for posting this. nt.

[trueblue2007]

21. God Bless Biden. He's a national treasure

[iluvtennis]

23. Instead they focus on kissing someone on the back of the head. Guess that I'll

be stoned the next time i kiss litle kids on the their forehead or shake the foot of a baby to make them smile

[LakeArenal]

30. But but... the back of a baby's head smells good!!!

[iluvtennis]

36. LOL

[ucrdem]

25. Thank you for posting this!

[tblue37]

27. Good man. nt

[dai13sy]

31. Most Excellent Human Being

I support Joe a bazillion percent. Too bad some people have to be so hateful.

[Stuart G]

34. Joe Biden is a great human being. Good Soul - He has seen a whole lot in his life. Sensitive & Kind

He is the exact opposite of Trump who is a mean, evil person. If Biden is the nominee, and Trump is around to get the republican nomination, it will be quite a contrast, between good and evil.

[Irishxs]

35. Agree, agree, agree! Honest as the day is long.

[True Dough]

37. I like opening threads with reassuring OPs

and then seeing the person who posted it actually supports a different candidate. If we all spent more time -- just more, not exclusively -- building up the various Dem contenders rather than tearing them down, we'd not be such a surly lot at times.

[KayF]

61. I had a point to make about Biden

it was somewhat negative, I don't remember exactly what it was, but knowing me, it was probably a great point.

I was looking for some facts to back up what I had in mind, but I came across this story and opted to share it instead of the other.

I'm glad I did, I love the response!

[Hekate]

38. That's the Joe we know

[democratisphere]

40. The attacks on Joe Biden by members of his own political party

are a disgrace, specially in consideration of the great human and man Joe Biden actually is. Here Joe Biden touches the heart and soul of a person in need with help. Joe Biden is the person I want for my President.

[Soxfan58]

42. Thank you!

Needed to see this today. There are still people of character in public office.

[Gato malo]

43. Beautiful

Thanks.

[Scurrilous]

46. ...

[PatSeg]

48. K&R

[samnsara]

51. hes such a nice guy

[demosincebirth]

56. Thats my Joe. I got tears in my eyes.

[Cha]

57. KICK.

[Sugarcoated]

58. He's such a good man

[Gothmog]

60. I like this statement by Joe Biden

Link to tweet

[nolabear]

62. Thank you. I hope a lot more of this is going to be presented.

The fact it’s a year old is even better. It’s not a photo op. It’s just Joe.

[Politicub]

63. Biden is a good man
