I really like Joe Biden. Heck, I think most everybody likes Joe Biden. He's a sensible, straightforward, likeable guy. But this was written in 2007, and not one word in it about Barack Obama. The cover refers to him as "the Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate," but this is the paperback. It refers to the book as "New York Times Bestseller," so clearly this was written as his presidential campaign was getting underway. This year he has said he won't run unless Hillary Clinton does not run, so my dream of a President Biden once more goes on the back burner.
But like Teddy Kennedy, Biden was born to be a Senator. He entered the Senate only just old enough to take the oath of office: his 30th birthday was after he was elected but before he actually took office. Delaware knew a good man when it saw one, and has re-elected him ever since.
Biden was placed on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee early in his career, and eventually became its chairman. It was in that capacity that he made much of the history for which he will be remembered, including scathing criticism of the Bush/Cheney policies in the Middle East. I was surprised by how much I did not know about all that, forgetting that there was a policy of disinformation during their 8 years in office. You tend to forget facts you don't have.
He was also in the Senate Judiciary Committee and was largely responsible for the Violence Against Women Act. The fight to pass that without the right-wingnuts gutting it was heroic, and mostly because he could work behind the scenes, talk to other Senators, and not say anything he would not have said in front of a camera. With Biden, what you see is what you get.
At the end of the book is an entire page of paragraphs that begin "I see a future in which . . ." that summarizes the tasks ahead that are important to him, as is appropriate in a campaign biography. and they are all very noble progressive values. like renewable energy, universal health care, securing Social Security, and generally the goodness of the American people.
Hey, Joe; what about four or eight more years as VP?
Fell in love with this man and Jill once I learned of their existence many years ago and felt he was destined for greatness. Watching the camaraderie he shared with President Obama was so very heartwarming and special, particularly when he received the Medal of Freedom. While he endured a second horrific tragedy upon losing Beau (from the same disease that stole my young son-in-law), he was blessed with the strength of family fostered by Jill across the years. Existing as we are now beneath the clown who claimed the presidency, this country has never needed the intelligence, compassion, knowledge, integrity and leadership qualities he possesses.
I learned a lot about VP Biden's life as well as his take on major events in history, such as the former Yugoslavia and the crisis that followed; how democrats and republicans once agreed to disagree (which other prominent figures have also said); and his experience with former presidents such as Clinton and the Bush Administration. If you are interested in learning about his personal life as well as that time in history, or if you like him, you'll enjoy this book.
I'm a big fan of Vice Persident Biden so anything about him or written by him I'll read. That said, this book is excellent and gives one a good insight into how he thinks and why he has made the decisions he did. Understanding why he chose not to run in 2016- and honoring that decision- I hope and pray he chooses to run in 2020! This country needs him and more like him.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading this book. Not a political book. Easy to read and describes who and what influenced the Vice President's philosophy on life as well as politics. Great read for those interested in how things get done, or don't, at the highest levels of government. Highly recommended regardless of your politics. (disclosure: I'm independent and lean conservative fiscally and progressive socially)
I've been a Biden supporter ever since he became VP. I say then because I never really had an interest in politics before then. Around 2008/2009 is when I really began to take serious interest in it all. Long story short- BUY IT! It is a book that you get lost in. He tells the story of his life to make you feel like you are a Biden yourself. Everything from his early childhood to high school, college, county council, and beyond. I've respected VP Biden, and this just increased my respects at how humble the man actually is. A must have read!
Joe and I grew up in Delaware. Many of the people and places he mentions are well known to me. I was expecting far less when I began the book. However, Joe's candid approach to both the positive and, importantly, negative aspects of his life were very impressive. When he was personal about his marriage, etc., I found it very compelling. Descriptions of his ventures overseas were not nearly as interesting. In my own book, "Let My Record Reflect", I have a chapter entitled "Why Don't I Know Jack About Joe." It explains why we two Delawareans never met and discussed all of this. Overall, it was a fine job. I'd like to see an update, for sure.
We need him to be our next President of the United States. HIS FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC EXPERIENCE EXCEEDS ANYONE I CAN IMAGINE. I have pre-ordered his next book due out Nov 14, 2017.
