He had some baggage as a Senator. No question about that. The Clarence T hearings was certainly up there.

We are all creatures of our generation. We tend to bring some of it with us at every point in our cycle here. I know that my children had identified some of that with me ..... some annoying, some an easy target for the high levels of mocking every holiday brings. This might sound odd, but Joe Biden always reminded me of a blind of the Irish characteristics I saw in my uncles. Add my grandfather's cousin, who I met when he was 90 and liked Joe Biden. Even as president, I viewed him in human terms.

There is no way for me to view the current guy as human. He lacks the qualities of a good potential. What a waste of a life time.
