Did You Know Joe Biden?
• Undeclared Presidential Candidate
• Personal history & beliefs
Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr. (born November 20, 1942) is the 47th and current Vice President of the United States, elected twice. A member of the Democratic Party, Biden served as a United States Senator from Delaware from 1973 until 2009.
Aside from his accomplishments he is known for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Known as Bidenisms, they are colorful and sometimes funny. And sometimes out of place for a political leader.
President Barack Obama commented that Biden "would make outstanding president” and “possess the qualities that are needed.” Fourteen vice presidents have become president, but only four were directly elected after serving as vice president.
Joe is a life long Catholic, who admittedly draws his faith more from the culture than the Bible.

As I write this expectations are that he will soon announce and immediately give Hillary a run for her money. It is possible that he would leap ahead of her.
