He is honest, and indeed kind as well as strong. Joe knows the show, and has run parts of the show before
he became President of the United States. Not only does JOE.. ..".KNOW THE SHOW,....BUT IN ADDITION, IF
HE EVER NEEDS HELP HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE TO GET IT...."
.......... Also, Joe Biden has friends and contacts among the smartest and most knowledgeable people in the
entire world. Joe Biden is a gift to the U.S.A. during this most difficult time in our history.

With 36 years in the Senate and 8 years in the Executive Branch, he is the most experienced POTUS in our history - definitely the president we needed at this crucial time. We have never faced anything like this - possibly since the time of the Civil War.
