built 808 days ago
Senator Joe Biden was elected to the United States Senate in 1972. He was only 29-years-old at the time. According to Borders, Senator Biden is "recognized as one of the nation's most powerful and influential voices on foreign relations, terrorism, drug policy, and crime prevention." Borders says that he is the leading voice in the Democrat Party against the current Bush Administration's handling of the war. His new book "offers an intimate series of reflections on political leadership, overcoming setbacks and a testament to the promise of the United States," according to Borders.
