[MBS]

In two parts:

#t=27

[Bubzer]

1. I think thats the first time I've listend to Joe talk for more than a few seconds.

I have to say, I am impressed. Sincere modesty and humility are rare traits in politics.

[MBS]

2. my reaction, too. n/t

[ancianita]

3. Best statement: "If we just get out of our own way..."

[LiberalArkie]

4. So very good. Thank you.

5. I saw He was going to be on

And I thought "Oh shit, this is going to be a bad booking, it's going to be depressing, and not funny. Many perceive Colbert to be struggling a bit, and this didn't help.

And the truth is, I saw him as a little, um, well he just seemed to be slipping a bit. It's like that Abe Simpson thing, where he tells a story, and jumps from line to line, never seeming to finish the story. I don't think he did himself any favors.

That said, he's obviously a kind man. I just think he is losing it mentally a bit.

12. It's called grieving, not "losing it mentally" n/t

16. I am not so sure the VP was slipping?

It has only been a few months since he lost his son and I thought he was talking from his heart. If you thought he was mentally losing something? I would say, walk a mile in his shoes. I am not being mean in anyway, but really! Think about it?

[Triana]

6. I just love Joe.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

7. I'm really surprised Obama supporters aren't on board with Joe....

If you like what Obama has done than you should want to have Biden in office. That way all of the folks Obama appointed to various cabinet posts and the teams they have assembled can continue to work for us.

A new President often means a LOT of desks are being emptied into boxes.

And no matter what you may think of Obama you have to admit this administration has been one of the most honest we've had in memory. Compare that to Reagan where key people went to jail. Dubya was so corrupt is was surreal. He had office parties funded by Big Oil in the Department of the Interior where government employees were snorting coke out of the navels of prostitutes.

8. I'm an Obama supporter

and, though I'm officially undecided as to my favorite Dem candidate (I've even been holding off on financial contributions to specific candidates haven't ordered any bumper stickers, etc, or gone to any rallies) , I find myself quite partial to Joe. For the reasons you mentioned and more. At this point*, if he decided to run, he would be my favorite. I have huge respect for him as a person of substantive experience, integrity and heart.

* "at this point" is not a trivial condition- this election has been developing in such an insane way so far, the shape of the political landscape could change tomorrow.

9. There is a real fear out there that Hillary will do something or say something.....

Look what happened the last time. I really believe Geraldine Ferraro was echoing things she heard inside Camp Clinton.

[MBS]

10. would not surprise me. n/t

[treestar]

11. VP Biden's parents had so many sayings

He almost always brings up at least one!

[CTyankee]

13. Well, I cried off an on through those two videos...

[1monster]

14. Ditto. Joe Biden is a nice man who isn't afraid to show his heart.

[imanamerican63]

15. Great man!

I think he is one of most sincere and truthful Politician that has been put through a lot. I will back him, if he decide to enter the race, but if he doesn't? I understand whole heartedly. If a real person wants to be President? They need to know what it takes. Trump and most of the GOP, can't even come close to the class and dignity that VP Biden has.

17. great interview!

If O'Malley can't get traction, I would support Joe. Good environmentalist, not much of a hawk, and a genuinely good guy.
