"His presence and his pride and his sort of unfettered joy.."

[sheshe2]

The photo and his words are moving. I feel like crying, tears of joy. Their relationship and their new jobs might just help women to be recognized for the strong accomplished persons they are. It is a role reversal and she stands out front with her husband standing behind her every step of the way. I am having trouble conveying how I feel. The photo truly speaks to me.

Hell. We elected some very fine people. Biden/Harris.

"His presence and his pride and his sort of unfettered joy in the ascent of his wife is quite a remarkable sight, I think, for everybody — not just for women, but for men and for boys to see, too."

Before the election, when Emhoff took questions from kids online in the "Ask a Grownup" video series, a 9-year-old named Atticus posed this hypothetical: What would you do if your wife became vice president?

"Well first, I'd say YAAAYYY!" Emhoff replied. "And then I'm just gonna do what I always do, Atticus, I'm gonna support her. Because it's really important for men and even young boys to support the strong and wonderful women in their life."

1. Who can look at that photo and not smile?

I love it!

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Republicans never exude that kind of joy. Such a grumpy party.

20. I love these words:

"Because it's really important for men and even young boys to support the strong and wonderful women in their life."

I'm a female, and I did not have that in my life. But I'm so glad to see that girls and women are getting so much more support.
