Joseph Biden actually said...

the most powerful man in the world has intellectual curiosity and a desire to want to know for its own sake.

He knows the filibuster is not being used how it should be used, how it was meant to be used.

He certainly wanted to know what we thought about particular issues and crises.

He was a man of profound humility, willing to engage people, to absorb their sagacity, their wisdom, their insight, their analytical acuity.
