Jill Biden: Untraditional, unapologetic
Jill Biden: Untraditional, unapologetic



Carol E. Lee – Thu Nov 27, 6:02 pm ET



Jill Biden has long chartered an untraditional path for a career politician’ wife.

She has four degrees — a bachelor’s, two master’s and a doctorate. She raised three children and has five grandchildren. For 31 years she’s been married to a U.S. senator — although few of her students at a Delaware community college knew it — and she continued teaching English there four days a week while her husband campaigned for the vice presidency. She even did a little modeling in her 20s.

And now it appears Biden, 57, could become one of the nation's few second ladies to hold down a job while her husband occupies the office of the vice presidency.

Mary Doody, an English teacher at Delaware Technical and Community College who has worked with Biden for the 15 years she’s been on staff, said there is “no question” that Biden will continue teaching after completing the fall semester.”

“She’ll still teach in the spring, but hopefully somewhere near Washington,” added Doody, who said she’s discussed the issue with Biden. “And I know that she would definitely teach at a community college.”

1. What a wonderful advocate she could be for Obama's education plans...
Particularly his call to better fund community colleges and offer tuition credits that would cover full-time study at most community colleges.

4. You mean Lynne? She really gives me the creeps.

So nice to have a normal happy family at the Vp's house, one that most likely does not like to keep dead bodies in the basement. I do feel sorry for the Bidens though, there will need to be some major spiritual cleaning of that house before they feel comfortable there.
