Showing Original Post only (View all)Watching VP Biden's speech and press conference right now and I noticed something. [View all]
He took a question from a reporter.
And when he took it, he smiled.
A real smile.
Not a smirk.
Not a grimace.
Not a scowl.
But a genuine, heartfelt smile.
To a member of the press, who presumably will be as tough on him as they would be on any other President, because that's just the nature of the job.
But it was just a simple human moment that before 2016 probably wouldn't have gotten any attention.
But the feeling that we might have a person back in the White House who can show genuine, positive, graceful emotion again....
All I am saying is we better win this.

He was laughing with the question at the end. Enjoying every minute.
