Dr. Jill Jacob Biden - someone who can really put a voice out there for Education
Unlike that Stepford Wife Laura Bush who was what, a librarian for like 5 whole minutes of her life?

You know where Dr. Biden taught - public schools and our local community college here in Wilmington, DE. You'd think someone with a Ph.D and married to a US Senator could have taught in the top private schools or our best universities but instead she was a teacher for children who would not be able to afford these schools. And although she took a break to have a daughter back in 1981, she still returned back to teaching.

2. She was teaching up thru March of 2008
Not sure if she retired or was focusing on Joe's campaign run.

8. Really?
She's great, but I think Joe was the trophy husband. ;-)I know a LOT of women who think he's very handsome. Myself included.

Seriously though, they compliment each other very well.

15. This is too good to

18. yes, big difference in the wives
but just to be correct, Dr. Biden's degree is an EdD, not a PhD.

She sure is intelligent, and gorgeous.
