1. Does anyone ever remember any pics like this of Darth?

Did he ever do meets-and-greets?

Anyway, Joe looks fine. I think we are in good hands with him as VP. I'm curious to read what impressions he left behind.

[monmouth]

3. Merkel looked especially relieved and the rest all had smiles on their

faces. They're dealing with a real diplomat here, such an improvement and they all appreciate it IMO.

[hvn_nbr_2]

8. Well, he wasn't drunk and trying to give her a shoulder rub.

That's reason to feel relieved.

[FightingIrish]

13. Well, there was this one.

[babylonsister]

28. He does look engaged, doesn't he.

:rofl: That about says it all.

[Sheltiemama]

58. How nice.

How nice to have a vice president whose smiles don't make you shudder.

[ensho]

2. thanks for the pics - everyone looks happy and relaxed

instead of how they used to look with smirk


Yulia's hair is wonderful.

the 'some more' pic shows a woman at work.

and the chairs in the last pic need a redoing. that material and color leaves a lot to be desired.

[otohara]

4. Yulia's Hair Looks Painful

I bet at the end of the day when she let's that braid down, she let's out a huge sigh. Unless it's fake, but still.

[ensho]

16. when I was a girl my mother fixed my hair like that all the time

it is not painful, don't be silly.

[AyanEva]

33. I love her hair.

[Cha]

34. It looks quaint and reminds me of Heidi..

she's got the high steppers, though.

[calimary]

35. I first saw that and wondered how come he was visiting with Gwyneth Paltrow.

That Yulia is really quite lovely.

[Jennicut]

42. Found this pic of her

She is really pretty.

[otohara]

50. Gorgeous

she looks totally different with the beautiful hair down.

[calimary]

56. Gracious!

Maybe in my next life... ?


(...Dear God...?)


(...please...?)


I'd do the eyebrows slightly differently, though.

[shanti]

44. they do look happy!

i don't remember those kind of pix when the chimp was in charge.

[stevedeshazer]

5. Joe loves this stuff. He's in his element.

Good to see.

[lunatica]

6. Biden has a charming and contagious smile/ Smirk had a smirk

Biden sits comfortably in the company of world leaders, looking like a rare breed, the Friendly American.

Bush strutted around calling everyone by their first name and smirked arrogantly looking for all the world like the Ugly American.

[Inkyfuzzbottom]

7. Joe obviously doesn't know foreign diplomacy...

where are the shoulder massages and bald head rubbings?:shrug:

[1776Forever]

9. Sorry but I just have to call him Joe - I feel like I know him - Joe you make me smile!

And there sure aren't many things now that can do that! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your dedication and service! We love you Joe!

:toast: How can you not smile back at him?

[Jennicut]

10. He does have a great smile

:)

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

20. That smile will be the death of me! So handsome! n/t

[Muttocracy]

46. shark tie! :)

[treestar]

11. What no massage for Angela?

Why Joe, you cold hearted bastard! :rofl:

[Jennicut]

12. Poor Angela, she seems much more comfortable now. LOL

[yellowdogintexas]

14. how refreshing

no back rubs either

[glowing]

15. Where's VP Biden's wedding ring? Or doesn't he wear one.

I don't see it on his finger. AND is Mrs. Biden with him? I don't see her in the pics.

[Maat]

17. I don't wear a wedding ring - I lose jewelry as soon as you put it on me.

Plus, rings are very uncomfortable (in my opinion), and hurt my fingers.

And, I've been with the same guy for 32 years, married for 25!

Just my experience.

[Jennicut]

19. Yeah, my husband works for the power company and doesn't wear his that much

He would lose it if he did. Sometimes its just uncomfortable for people.

[Maat]

38. Exactly (n/t)!

[CrispyQ]

30. I don't have a wedding ring either.

Like you, I can't stand to wear rings. After I accepted my husband's marriage proposal, he said, "I guess we should buy you a wedding ring." I replied, "Oh honey, buy me a washer & dryer instead!" ;)

[Jennicut]

31. LOL, Crispy.

[Maat]

37. That is SO cool (n/t)!

[jillan]

18. She usually doesn't accompany him on this trips.

Don't worry - they are fine.

[glowing]

22. I'm not worried about their marriage.. I just wondered if she got to go

and flash her smile with him... she's so damn adorable... Not that worried about the ring.. half the time I forget to wear mine. I just thought on a trip, he'd be wearing it.. he put on the cuff links and had his pocket nappie in place.. Just wondered if it was a normal thing for him not to wear.

[Jennicut]

23. "pocket nappie"...LOL

[glowing]

25. Its old school style.. looks nice.. but its a pocket nappie.. used to be used

to dab tears away for damsals in distress.. now its probably fake and ornamental and sewn in place.

[Jennicut]

27. I like old school pocket squares

:)

[marlakay]

29. She just started teaching classes

I think she isn't the type to miss any. She seems like a very dedicated teacher to me.

[Enrique]

24. what happens in Europe stays in Europe

:evilgrin:

[Muttocracy]

48. I don't think he does.

I think I remember reading that he kept Neilia's ring after she died, and kind of carried it like what I'd call a "worry stone".

No idea if he ever had a ring then, or what Jill has now.

[AspenRose]

63. John Edwards and Eliot Spitzer

Don't look now but they're wearing wedding rings.







A spouse's devotion is evident in their actions, not in whether they choose to wear a ring.

[Hope And Change]

21. K & R!Thanks for posting!

[City Lights]

26. What great pics!

Especially the first one. Thanks for posting them. They brought a :D to my face. I'm still grinning ear-to-ear.

[Phoonzang]

32. Is that lady in the 5th picture one of his Secret Service agents?

I remember seeing her during the inauguration.

[RollWithIt]

41. Would be unusual for Secret Service to wear an ID pin....

My guess is private staff or State Department official.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

36. Now there's a statesman.

[Cha]

39. How awesome to have a VP that

isn't vying for the most evil vulture on the Planet.

Au Contraire, we have one with a megawatt smile who has the gravitas behind it:D

[PatSeg]

40. What an incredible contrast to the last eight years

That is what a statesman should look like and you know other leaders just love him. I can hear the sigh of relief in the pics.

[Cass]

43. Merkel seems genuinely happy in the 1st photo. So unlike her last encounter with Junior.

Joe is such a pip - look at his expressions!

But in all seriousness, we are so lucky to have this man working on our behalf. Really lucky.

Thanks for posting these great pics of our kick-ass VP!

[thatsrightimirish]

45. Is Yulia Tymoshenko a Star Wars fan? nt

[CreekDog]

49. Yes. I believe Episode 2 was her favorite.

but anyway... :wow:

[politicasista]

47. Kick

for the VP. :patriot:

[Hekate]

51. I love Joe Biden's happy-warrior smile. Thanks for the pix.

:hi:

Hekate

[Eurobabe]

52. Ive slept soundly the past 2 nights

knowing Cupcake is only 25 mi. from me.

Would have gone to try to see him, but the Innenstadt is in lockdown mode. :(

[Jennicut]

53. Only 25 minutes!

I imagine with all the world leaders in Munich plus the VP its got to have major security.

[Eurobabe]

54. Last year I made the mistake of going into the city

when this was going on, by car, it was a nightmare!

I'm looking for more pictures, go look in JBSG, I posted another item from the SZ. :D

[Jennicut]

55. Thanks!

[JI7]

57. Sarkozy is creep

[Clio the Leo]

59. Ok, I'm just gonna say it .....

.... my boy looks tired. But jet lag will do that to you. That's Joe at like 7 ..... normally we get Joe at 10 1/2. lol

[Jennicut]

61. Yeah, Joey needs some rest.

He needs to sleep on the beds they give you on Air Force Two. :)
He went to the UK today to visit an Air Force base (you posted that!) and then next week he will be in Idaho for the Special Olpmpics. Ugg, killer schedule but such is the life of being Prez and VP.

[democracy1st]

60. I love that female Secret Service agent she's so sophisticated :)

[texas1928]

62. Jill better watch out the Ukrainian PM looked like she wanted to jump him,

No that I would stop her. :P

[goclark]

64. Thank you VP Biden for representing our country with such grace

We have been abused children and we are proud that you are making friends again.
