I don't see other threads on this, so....
I don't usually sit through political speeches, but Biden's speech was the first time I can remember smiling and feeling exhilarated while watching one of these things.
One of the most positive, patriotic speeches I've seen in a while. Ol Joe is a good, old fashioned liberal, a throwback, and good for him.

Mac,
Just to show something...
Biden came to Ireland last month and stayed a few days... It was probably for a few reasons, Obama had leave early during the volcano thing... And Biden genuinely loves Ireland... He based himself in the west and was greeted very warmly and he was so generous with his time and his affection. A truly lovely man who is a hell of lot smarter than he lets on, he could have easily been Secretary of State as he has a deep knowledge in Foreign Affairs and is a personal friend of so many players (and it easy to see why).

Compare this to Trump... As soon as he announced he was coming to Ireland protesters were lining up to get ready... Trump retreated and went to Scotland instead...
