He was picked by Obama to run with him as the Vice Presidential Candidate in 2008 under the banner of the Democratic Party, they won the election and on the 20th of January 2009, he was sworn in as Vice President of the United States of America.
He gave so much support to the President despite being his senior by many years and also being more exposed to the American Politics than him, he took all his assignments seriously and never for one day questioned the authority of the Commander in Chief.
He performed so well that Obama asked him to run again with him on the same ticket in 2012 and again for the 2nd time they were elected and on the 20th of January 2013, he was sworn in as the Vice President of the United States of America for the 2nd time.
His tenure expired alongside that of Obama on the 20th of January 2017, when a new Vice President was sworn in and in his humble nature, Joe Biden and his wife took the PUBLIC TRAIN from Washington back to Delaware his home state.
There was no air around him, no pride, no haughtiness, he was so down to earth that he was loved even by those who hated him.
He had no luxurious mansions in Washington, no private jets, and did not apparently corruptly enrich himself
Joe Biden is one man that Nigerian Politricians should actually emulate
