I'm not a big fan of Joe Biden, how this guy is a heartbeat away from the presidency is dumbfounding. However, I don't know what everyone is talking about. He's a politician, he shakes hundreds of hands a day, hugs, kisses, greets people. He was trying to be nice and give a little girl some extra attention. What he intended as probably an affectionate grandfatherly peck on the top of her head came off a little awkward. Hasn't anyone even had a weird should I hug this person, do I kiss this persons cheek, got caught somewhere in the middle moment with someone? Slightly embarrassing and awkward but it happens to everyone. Now imagine you greet dozens to hundreds of people a day and have cameras recording everyone moment. Things like this are bound to happen.
The saddest part is how much focus things like this get.... keep em divided and fighting and keep their focus off of what's really important.
Lemme guess....you voted for McCain, meaning you willingly voted for a man with numerous health scares at an advanced age, meaning Sarah Palin was your choice from being a heartbeat away from president. Sarah. Palin.
Sir, I defy you to defend that vote and explain to me how Palin is more qualified to lead this nation than Biden.
I don't remember espousing my support for Palin, how about neither of them are qualified to lead the nation but then neither is our current president. I don't like any of them.... Obama, McCain, Palin, or Biden.
Biden, who I actually defended (although I think I threw up in my mouth when I did it), happens to be the focus of this thread. You response seems a little over-reactive. Maybe you need some rest, perhaps a nap?
