VP Biden at Nato Summit in Belgium, so much nicer to look at then Cheney!

[Jennicut]

With North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer




With EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana







The other world leaders sure seem happy to not have to deal with Shrub or Darth Cheney anymore. We are actually being represented as adults and people capable of human emotions (unlike Cheney) overseas.

1. He sure is - keep smiling, Joe! Thanks for the pics! nt

[CrispyQ]

2. Yeah, we should have sent Cheney to charm school before letting him be VP.

Thank god he didn't go hunting with any foreign dignitaries!

Thanks for these photos!

[Jennicut]

4. Charm school?! LMAO!

Dick really did not know how to smile, did he? Its like no one ever taught him.

[CrispyQ]

10. I got the biggest hoot ever when I was watching Blitzer's interveiw of Cheney.

At the end, Blitzer said something like, "Tell us something about yourself that we don't know." Cheney actually smiled & said something along the lines of, "I'm really a likeable guy." :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Jennicut]

13. I remember that. "Likable and warm"...eek.

More like cold and frightening.

[FailureToCommunicate]

38. About as likable as Old Man Potter from Its a Wonderful Life!!

[monmouth]

3. You can easily tell they are all engaged and Joe looks like a man

who loves his job. The difference is astounding.

[Ishoutandscream2]

5. Joe does have a great smile. That certainly puts people at ease

And he has a wealth of experience in foreign policy. People will be willing to work with him, not against him.

[xenussister]

35. Smiling Republicans always look like they're having a bowel movement

Can anyone come up with a picture of a Pub where the smile actually looks genuine, warm and friendly? Palin has a good smile but it still seems fake and cold. Bush was an amiable type, but his smile was creepy. Most Republicans look like they have a stick up their ass, even when they're supposed to look happy.

Edit to add: thanks for the pictures, I love Joe and Joe's smile! And he's a smart, caring man. And he has a great wife and family! Boy did we luck out this election!

[SeaLyons]

6. Great photos....

Joe is outstanding....gives great eye contact. What a contrast.

:bounce:

[MiniMe]

7. Love the smile

Go Joe!

[Peacetrain]

8. Thanks Jenn.. Love those pictures

:loveya:

[Jennicut]

9. You welcome, it made me smile this morning.

:)

11. A Vice President? Smiling?

I thought the role of the Vice President was to constantly scour and threaten people. And on occassions, shoot somebody in the face.

Do your job, Vice President Biden!

[Clio the Leo]

12. YOU'RE HOT JOE!!!!

In a kind of sexy, "knows the role of the Vice President as defined by the Constitution" kinda way!

[PopSixSquish]

15. Hey Joe's Hot in Any Kind of Way!!!

um...did I just say that about the Vice President of the United States? Yes, I Did!!

But seriously, VP Biden has got just about the warmest smile I've ever seen. His whole face lights up and he's so cute when he starts laughing.

[Jennicut]

16. Thats okay

I think that every time I see him. Trying hard not to think those kinds of thoughts about our VP, but its really hard. :)

[PopSixSquish]

18. Back When the President Obama Shirtless Pix Hit the Internets

a co-worker asked me if I'd seen them. I replied that I felt very bad having impure thoughts regarding our (then) President-Elect.

My co-worker laughed and said that's ok - I have impure thoughts about his wife...

[Jennicut]

19. LOL!

I think we have a very attractive VP and Prez. Its hard not to um, notice that.

[Clio the Leo]

29. A friend of mine describes his smile as "old male model"....

... which is a compliment, btw. :)

All I know is, I feel better when Joe is doing his smiling and pointing thing. Picks me right up every time.

[Beacool]

42. I just KNEW you had to be here

checking out your Joe.

You better watch out Jill doesn't find out...........

}(

[PatSeg]

14. What a great VP

I think Joe is going to redefine the office of Vice President, but in a good way. I've never seen a Vice President so involved in so many things at one time and always visible. That smile alone will mend many fences.

[vaberella]

17. Question...Did Cheney ever leave the White House grounds?!

Other than for hunting. I swear I don't remember him abroad.

By the way I'm a self proclaimed Biden Babe!! ^_^

[lunatica]

21. He went to a holocaust memorial in a parka and a ski cap

[vaberella]

22. Huh.

I guess he does have a passport.

Am I being hypersensitive if I say that I find his attire fairly insulting?! It looks like he forgot he had to go to the Memorial while he was snowboarding in the alps or something so he didn't have time to change.

[Muttocracy]

31. I'm pretty sure he made a number of trips to visit oil buddies in the Middle East

will look for links.

e.g. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x280192

[PatSeg]

41. And who knows where the hell he went

when he was at an "undisclosed location"? Freakiest VP ever.

[Muttocracy]

32. dupe delete

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. it's nice to have a human representing us

[Cha]

23. Such an Awesome representative

if our country. A 180.

[polichick]

24. Now, THAT'S change! :)

[jillan]

25. What a difference! A VP that actually seems to enjoy meeting with world leaders.

And vice versa.

[Muttocracy]

26. Refreshing - the U.S. has a lot of foreign policy issues to fix

but surely some basic friendliness and genuine interest in others will help.

[Canuckistanian]

27. I got an automatic cringe when I heard the words "Today, the American vice-president..."

And when the name mentioned was "Joe Biden", I immediately relaxed.

It's so nice not to have to cringe anymore.

[Enrique]

28. finally a VP that smiles on both sides of his mouth!

:bounce:

[jillan]

30. ROFL!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

33. I swear that smile will be the death of me!!!

[Dr Fate]

34. Good to have some decent guys around again. n/t

n/t

[Hippo_Tron]

36. And he even dresses appropriately for the occassion...

[RFKHumphreyObama]

37. Ummm...admittedly you're not setting the bar very high

But I do agree with you. What an awesome team America has representing it on the world stage!

[Eurobabe]

39. Very cool pix!

Thanks for posting.

[moodforaday]

40. From an eyewitness

My wife works at the EU Parliament in Brussels. She describes helicopters swooping overhead. A section of the city was cordoned off by police, people unable to return home, or at least not via their normal routes. In Brussels, not Kandahar. Does that happen when the VP moves around Washington, too?

But I'll grant you his endearing smile!
