Political Quotes

“Finally, let me say about Vice President-elect Joe Biden, Senator Joe Biden, Joe Biden: Everyone knows about his courage, his wonderful family, his remarkable career in the U.S. Senate. We know he overcame a tremendously difficult personal tragedy during the first few days after his election. I am not sure many could have had the strength he had to conquer this tragedy. Then, of course, he got sick many years later and fought back. It was when Tim Johnson was in the hospital in a coma that Joe Biden visited him and his family and talked to him about the fact that there will be times when, as he is recovering, he may be embarrassed by his inability to speak very well. Joe Biden is one of the great orators in the history of the country. No one would have ever known he had a problem very similar to what happened to Tim Johnson. He was such a role model to build Tim's confidence to be able to come back to the Senate. We here in the Senate know his wonderful family, and now, because of his exposure to America, our country has been introduced to this great family.”
