Grading and politics

I think that Biden is a very sweet man. I grew up in the congressional district of John Dingell. He was a great representative - hunter, NRA member, was the driving force behind passage of Medicare, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act. The man helped to reconstruct the marshlands along western Lake Erie and I hike them. That's why I have my screen name of eriehiker. Anyway, when he died, they showed his funeral on local television. There was a big snowstorm and most members of Congress couldn't make it in. But Joe Biden was there. And he prayed at the funeral and walked with Dingell's wife behind the casket and the microphone picked up what he was saying and he was so well-spoken and compassionate in that moment. I don't know if Biden will be a successful president, but I believe very strongly that he is a good man.
