1. I have been crying all week and now Joe made me cry again.

[Siwsan]

5. Yup - same here. All while suffering through allergies

So, when I'm not sneezing and blowing my nose, I'm crying and blowing my nose. Sometimes I'm doing at 3, at once.

14. Sometimes when Joe starts talking,

I will start tearing up because I know he's going to push some button. Now I'm conditioned to grabbing the tissue box before I listen to him.

2. OK, yeah--I puddled up a bit, and I also did when Brayden spoke at the convention. nt

3. K & R for real empathy. N/T

Must watch later

8. true love for your fellow citizen and empathy

can REALLY go a long way.

Such a beautiful moment and it does give me HOPE for CHANGE in the future.

9. To see that little boy finally lift his head and look up at Joe, that moment....

That was everything.

[PatSeg]

12. And just imagine how he'll feel

when Joe is President of the United States. It will clearly tell him that he can do anything.

[FM123]

15. Yes!

10. My best friend in high school stuttered.

Kids were so mean to her. She was smart, she was beautiful and had a heart of gold, but the bullies just kept beating on her with insults. The "cool girls" "cheerleader types" were the worst. I defended her every time I saw it but it really began to take a toll on her. Then she had a wonderful English teacher who took her under her wing and helped her so much.

She went on to college and then to Medical School where she became an amazing pediatrician. We lost her a few years ago to cancer, but not until after she showed up at our small town class reunion in an S Class Mercedes and a handsome successful husband. I loved it!!!! She only came that one time, but it was classic. Watching those mean girls, who married boys from home and never went to college have to see what happened to this object of their bullying was such fun. We had a great laugh over a nice glass of wine afterwards.

Rest in peace Margaret, I'm sure you would have loved watching this brave little boy!

16. I was married to a man who stuttered before I married Mr Bear.

He was a brilliant man, we just couldn’t be married for many reasons. But being with him, feeling myself tighten when he tightened, sometimes doing things like ordering at restaurants when he just didn’t want to go through the stares and embarrassment others felt, and that damned phone! I know all Joe’s tricks and tells, the hard consonants he avoids, the introductory phrases, the wraparounds when he knows a word is coming up that will challenge him. People who go out in public and make the kind of effort we who don’t stutter never even think of are absolutely amazing. What Joe did for Brayden and what the two of them are doing for others is downright noble.

17. It really is.

Annie Glenn, John Glenn's wife had a horrible stutter too. She was always an advocate for people who stuttered.

11. I'm running out of Kleenex!!!

Try reading Joe's book, Promises to Keep. A lot of the time I couldn't even see the page, I was crying so hard. I have his other book, Promise Me Dad, but I just can't bring myself to start reading it yet. I know I'll be bawling for days.

19. Thanks, I'm going to Amazon right now!

[PatSeg]

32. Its a great read

My copy is long gone now, as it got passed to other people. I may order a new copy though, now that he will be our next president!

[lame54]

13. What a great prequel

[Joinfortmill]

18. Love Joe

[mtngirl47]

20. What a good, good man!

The thought just popped into my head----does this country even deserve a wonderful person like Joe Biden?

Our nation treated the Obamas terribly.....and the Carters.

[Jarqui]

21. I've been seeing Joe do things like this for decades

The rest of the America is going to find out what some of America already knows: this is an exceptionally good, caring man.

Jimmy Carter proved that he may well have aged but being an exceptionally good, caring man never gets old.

22. Joe Biden loves ordinary people the same way Republicans love a tax break

[nolabear]

30. *snerk*

25. He deserves to be president.

It's going to be so refreshing to have a guy like this back in the Oval Office. That's pretty genuine. Nothing fake or political about that - Biden really cares.

[Doreen]

26. the water in my eyes are not tears....dang it...they are.

I have a friend who is autistic and has a slight stutter. He is absolutely brilliant. We rarely see each other but he is able to remember word for word we had in any conversation we had 30 years ago.

[sandensea]

27. Can you IMAGINE el Bastardo in a situation like this!

"You stutter? Yeah, I knew a kid like that in school - TOTAL loser! Probably voted against me."

[obamanut2012]

29. "So, you're a stut-t-t-erer? You sound stupid, like a libtard."

[dlk]

28. Heartwarming!

The compassion & empathy we need now more than ever!

[Delphinus]

31. Oh,

here come the good tears.
