Vice President Joe Biden was in Delaware yesterday to give a speech at a Martin Luther King, Jr. breakfast in Wilmington on repairing the breach between police and the African American community. And the News Journal, in their story on the Vice President’s speech today, showed the following pictures of the former Attorney General and future alleged gubernatorial candidate Beau Biden, who was present for his father’s speech but did not speak himself.
Photos are courtesy of Jennifer Corbett of the News Journal. The side profiles of Mr. Biden are concerning.
As Nancy Willing says, “does anyone really believe his health is not an issue?”
I hate that I have to study every picture of Beau Biden after his rare public appearances to judge how his health is. I hate that I have to wonder about his health at all. As someone who had to endure a health scare last year, I understand how important privacy is. But then again, I am not a supposed candidate for Governor. Nor was I in public office when I got sick. Just tell us. We are adults. We can handle it.
Maybe there is nothing wrong, and the thinning hair is just normal. He is Joe Biden’s son, after all. Still, we have a right to know. And full disclosure is required before any campaign begins.
