Sorry Mimi, but could you please define for me your idea of “human”? For someone in his position, using the f-bomb at that moment was the HEIGHT of arrogance and the DEATH of classy. The fact that President Obama just acted like it was just another Joe comment; not a flinch, not a look. At least he didn’t fire something stupid back. I am embarrassed for America. If I did that at work I’d be hauled in and forced to take some kind of sensitivity training before I could be that close to a mic again. Joe’s a tool in my definition. A human tool.

GL,
You have a great website…I hope Biden continues to confirm what we all believe he is, that PBO continues his obvious arrogance in the face of public opposition, and that when November arrives, we have some real change.

When I was 25 years old, I taught high school for a year. One day, the “F” word slipped out when discussing something I thought was really horrible. The class went dead silent. I hadn’t even realized it happened until I heard the silence. From my perspective, it was “no big deal” – it’s how I spoke. For a second, I hoped they’d think I was cool. Then I realized that they’d never heard a teacher speak this way – certainly not in front of the group. Then I realized I had made a big mis step and betrayed their confidence in me and this would get in our way. I apologized to them and never did it again.
I don’t think Biden needs to apologize nor does anyone else. But someone must convince him he’s hurting himself, his positions and what he wants to accomplish. Maybe he can still learn a thing or two at his age. I don’t know. Maybe he needs a coach

"I am having fun here, sharing stories of what I have learned after some 25 years of doing startups, with maybe some observations about the workplace, culture and other things that interest or amuse me,...and hopefully, you."

I loves Joe Biden! I love the fact that’s the way the VP and Prez talk to each other. Makes them more human.
