But what about the Second Lady job? Other than Tipper Gore's concern about rap lyrics, what do we know about her. Lynn Chaney? Did you know she wrote books?
All I knew about Jill Biden before January 19th was that she had blond hair.
However we have learned that she is in fact, Dr. Jill Biden an educator who plans to continue educating now that she is Second Lady. She wanted her husband to take this job because she wants him home and wants the family to participate.
I also know that she is clearly having the time of her life! Oh, and itiden!s Dr. Jill B
"I think I am like the average American... I think I'm dealing with real life every single day."
Three reasons to love Jill Biden
1. Jill Biden is a down to earth woman who teaches working people in community college. She knows what these people are about and will have the ear of Barack Obama in order to help him hear them.2. Jill Biden carefully considered taking on the job of raising two step sons before she actually agreed to doing it. Since then she has never looked back.
3. She has her priorities straight, knows how to work hard and enjoy life.

Jill Biden Makes a Blunder on Oprah
When Oprah asked Jill if she supported Joe's being Vice President she replied that Joe had his choice of Vice President of Secretary of State. The audience quickly caught on that that was something she shouldn't have said. Lots of laughter, embarrassment and a big kiss from her husband.
She went on to say that she wanted him as VP because if he were SoS the family would never see him as he would be all over the world.
I have seen this reported by everyone since then.

Dr. Jill Biden Enters A Ready Made Family
"On December 18, 1972, a few weeks after the election, Biden's wife and one-year-old daughter were killed in an automobile accident while Christmas shopping in Hockessin, Delaware.[2] Neilia Biden's station wagon was hit by a tractor-trailer as she pulled out from an intersection; the truck driver was cleared of any wrongdoing.[27] Biden's two sons, Beau and Hunter, were critically injured in the accident, but both eventually made full recoveries.[2] Biden considered resigning in order to care for them;[9] he was persuaded not to by Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield and was sworn into office from one of their bedsides.[28] The accident left Biden filled with both anger and religious doubt: "I liked to [walk around seedy neighborhoods] at night when I thought there was a better chance of finding a fight ... I had not known I was capable of such rage ... I felt God had played a horrible trick on me." "

Jill Biden thought long and hard about taking on the challenge of raising two young boys whose mother had died. When she decided to do it, she never looked back, and did the job with love and skill

- Thanks for letting me know. Sometimes people put things on YouTube without havig the right to do it.
There is really no way of knowing when we post here, so we need to help each other out. Thanks, I have removed the module.

My Bio
For Arrowsmith Printing 9/22/08
I was born into a small business, I believe that small business and entrepreneurs are the backbone of America and what has made us great. They are what made us great and will save us in these unsure times. I have never wanted to have a great job. Well, better a great one, than a boring dead end one, and I have had both. But I have never really wanted a job at all.
Don't get me wrong, I am a hard worker. I have worked a full-time job, a part time job and a private practice all at the same time for a lot of years in my past. It isn't the work, its the working for someone else. Never wanted to do that, and I don't understand those who want to do that.
When I was six months old my parents bought their first small town weekly newspaper in Iowa. This was back in the day, back when small town newspapers were not just advertising sheets. Perhaps there are still some of them that are real, I hope so.
So I came by this perverse nature naturally. My path to self employment has been different than theirs, but it has always been my path, my direction.
Growing up in Iowa, in the fifties, I also grew up politically conservative. By the time I was 30 I was radically left. Today? I am proudly liberal and what that means will be clearer as we progress.
However, I have had conflicts about 'taking advantage of people'. I now know that employing people is not automatically taking advantage of them, but it took a while for me to learn that nothing is intrinsically good or bad. Well, almost nothing.
I have educated myself in business, I have a small business and I have used EFT and other energy clearing methods to help me clarify the old conflicts and move forward.
My mission here is to provide a forum for people who want to work independently through one person businesses or through employing others and for whom the betterment of human kind is an important value. My lenses are about offering good products, teaching people about betting their lives, and using the money they make for their pleasure and the benefit of others.
That is how I see business and if you have a similar vision I invite you to my blog www.creatingbusinessenergy.com
