Great Pic

I was directed to a series of pics somewhere on this site. I wanted to share one of them with you. This pic sort of moved me.



Finally, Michelle, one of the waitresses at the Arrow came out to speak with the Senator before he left. Lacking good healthcare, raising college tuition prices, and a scrunched middle class, Michelle has the weight of the world on her back trying to keep her family afloat. Michelle's got a child prepping for college too, which drives her, like many folks, to tears and worries. The Senator took her aside and told her how he knows it's hard on regular folks right now. Relating a story from his youth, while clutching her hand he told her how his own dad had tried to get a loan for him to go to college, and how he gad come home from the bank in tears because they wouldn't loan to the Bidens. He promised her, and I'd suppose that goes for most of us, that things will get better. We're going to have a government that cares about us again.

Joe Biden may or may not be the change that's coming, but he symbolized that change pretty damn well to Michelle and the rest of us gathered

1. I remember that pic from months back, and it moved me too.

Were you there that day?

2. No...

....Look at Joe's expression. There is a sense of compassion there that cannot be faked.

3. He looks like he is ready to cry with her. He is amazing.

He is the only candidate that is not a phony.

4. That's Joe.

I was just blown away watching him interact with the people after an event the other day. He absolutely bonds with people, assimilates their issue, their pain.
