Jill Biden

I just want to take a moment before the frenzy of a last weekend of the neverending campaign and (UGH) the start of campign '16 to say that I think that Mrs. Biden is the most wonderful, elegant, intelligent, charming and underappreciated member of the Obama/Biden team. I have rarely seen such a classy gentlewoman in public life.

How about we all give a brief moment of our appreciation to the lovely lady who will (Please God) be one heartbeat away from being First Lady until January 20, 2017.

That's my 2 cents, and quite possibly overpriced at that (but I don't really think so this time)!

PEACE!

She probably doesn't relish the spotlight or she would be front & center more than she is, because I'm sure everyone on the Obama team agrees with you.

husband over the age of 60, as far as I'm concerned. I have serious Joe envy. But I completely agree, the Bidens and Obamas are quintessential teams and obviously still "smitten" with one another. I'm so glad that THEY will be representing the USA for 4 more years. Dr. Biden is a beautiful representation of women in the USA (as is dear dear Michelle).

I remember in 2008 when Joe described his sons asking when they ALL were going to marry Jill. It was very touching, like it was a family decision.

PEACE!

about a hotshot chef here in town. After recently dining in said chef's restaurat, Dr. Biden went back into the kitchen and gave the chef a hug and personal kudos for a great meal.

She's the real deal and Joe is a lucky guy. So is Barack for that matter.

Tell every white male to get over whatever shook up their small mind and see for once, there is a choice, which happens to include someone you wouldn't MIND having a heart beat away from the Oval Office.

She's a teacher! And not to forget, she played a huge part in bringing Joe back from the tragedy of losing his wife and daughter. She married into a grieving family, no doubt, but I bet the boys consider her "Mom," too. No easy task for anyone.

Glad to have you all with us!

We're lucky to have a First Lady AND a Second Lady who are this charming, genuine, humble, compassionate, approachable, elegant, poised, inspiring, brilliant, dedicated, warm, gracious, and also physically gorgeous! They make me proud, and I'm honored that they're the ones representing us American women to the world.

Their men work awfully hard. Seems a fitting reward.
