5. Joe is always respectful and kind to the press.

I covered senator and vice president Biden for years as a photographer for the local newspaper in Wilmington. He always respected what we did and treated us like human beings, and never got in the way of us doing our job. not all politicians are like that. I remember when the reporters were waiting outside the gate at his house just before the announcement that Obama had picked him. He came out with two large containers of coffee and a box of donuts for the press.
