Joe Biden Did Not Have it Easy

When Joe was born, times were bad. Biden Sr could not find steady work.

Joe was a bad student. At the University, he was ranked 506/688.

Biden has a stutter. He reduced it by reciting poetry before a mirror.

In 1968, due to asthma he could enlist for military.

In 1972, his wife Neilia & baby Naomi were killed in an accident while shopping for Christmas. Their sons, Beau, had a broken leg & Hunter, a skull fracture.

Biden considered resigning his seat to care of them. Every day, to care of them, Biden commuted between his Delaware home & Washington – 90 mins away.

He was angry & felt God had played a horrible trick on him

In the 1980s, Biden, while trying for the presidential nomination, was accused of plagiarizing speeches by Kinnock, Kennedy & Humphrey. He also made false claims about his early life. He withdrew due to these mistakes

In 1988, Biden was operated for an aneurysm. Then he had a pulmonary embolism. After a 2nd aneurysm, he was away from the Senate for 7 months

In ‘2007, he bid for candidacy in the 2008 election. Biden withdrew, because he had Obama to reckon with.

Beau had a brain tumour. In 2015, he died due to cancer.

Hunter spent decades struggling with alcohol/drug addiction.

Then Joe Biden became President.
