The other day, I realized there is a political figure in America who doesn’t get enough credit, but he’s truly a great American.
 
In his youth, he fought gangs and marched for civil rights.  Even though he’s a white, he went to a historically black college, after turning down an appointment to the Naval Academy. 
 
Eventually, he got a full scholarship and graduated at the top of his class with multiple degrees!
 
As you’d expect, he’s quite the Renaissance man!  While he almost became a lumberjack, he went on to become a truck driver, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a foreign policy expert. 
 
Along the way, he traveled over a million miles on Amtrak, and became best friends with a conductor.  He’s met a lot of truly incredible people, like the man who invented insulin and a Special Forces war hero.  He even got arrested once trying to meet Nelson Mandela!
 
But, like many Americans, he’s had his share of hard knocks in life.  Tragically, his first wife was killed by a drunk driver, and his son died in combat in Iraq.
 
This guy is such a genuinely nice man, he would really make a great president.
 
Well, there’s just one big problem:  The person I described doesn’t exist.  But the person who thinks he is this guy actually is the president — Joe Biden.  That’s both sad and scary!
