Biden's full address. &amp;nbsp;There is a lot of rich history there, as well as the insights of an open-minded, serious and thoughtful man. &amp;nbsp;Particularly touching to me was the account of the conference table in his office, inherited from the late Sen. John Stennis and the almost full circle that history sometimes takes us, but with a step ahead at each passing. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yes, he spoke for a while --- but what's important is that he SAID SOMETHING, things that revealed him for the gentleman and statesman he is and some lessons that it wouldn't hurt all of us to learn about dealing with those with whom we disagree. &amp;nbsp;We are very, very fortunate to have this man as our Vice President and as a close adviser to our President &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Congress: Biden and HRC say goodbye</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/16/1746709.aspx#1746872</link><pubDate>Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:37:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1746872</guid><dc:creator>Jackson, Seattle</dc:creator><description>Impossible Dream #599 - The inauguration of Obama would carry with it a -20 degree temperature, strong winds, ice and snow everywhere, no-shows by Bush and Cheney and the total attendance at 77. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Palomino (Sent Friday, January 16, 2009 9:32 AM)&lt;br&gt;____________&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Use those sour grapes to make some wine....it will help that bitter little pill go down ever so much eaiser.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The only way the Inauguration would be -20 with strong winds and ice is if Ann Coulter were invited.</description></item><item><title>Congress: Biden and HRC say goodbye</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/16/1746709.aspx#1746888</link><pubDate>Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:52:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1746888</guid><dc:creator>clueless in colorado</dc:creator><description>Molly Anna, just curious, how is Obamas presidency a sham? &amp;nbsp;HE was duly elected and confirmed by the electoral college.
