I laughed into my coffee when he said “Biden and I have gotten so close there are some places in Indiana that won’t serve us Pizza anymore”.

Also the anger translator saying “Hilliary is going to get all that money! She is going to get all the moneyyy!”

You shouldn’t tease us with politics jokes! 😀

Maybe that’s what we need to break the deadlock over here… It would certainly be more illuminating than most of the stuff the parties have served up so far!

I loved the fact that the one thing he got angry about was climate change – serves to rub in the deep divide it has created in US politics. I only hope that Hilary shakes herself free of the fossil fuel money and continues his good work.
