10. I know a vet who relates a story

Of having difficulty getting some of his benefits, until he wrote Joe. Joe called him personally and the difficulties were solved within a week or two.

I think Joe is the real thing. He’s made some mistakes, but who of us hasn’t? I think especially at this point in his life he’s just looking to see how much difference there is that he can make for the people who need him, that’s a product of wisdom.

It’s a shame he didn’t get four more years to do that, it would have been hell to watch him age in his next term, but I can’t help feeling like after all this, he got shivved by his own people, but he’s still out there doing his job.

I’ll tell you this much, we barely deserve Joe, and the maggots sure as hell don’t. I hope our next person with the power to make some good trouble has more of an axe to grind.
