Now that the Debt Ceiling Crisis has ended with an agreement, it is clear that the true hero of the whole event is Vice President Joe Biden.
Biden, with his 36 years of service in the Senate, and his unique bargaining and negotiating style, really made a difference in the long battle that went on for weeks, bringing the two sides together.
Biden is a master of the Senate as an institution, and although different in style than Lyndon Johnson, really is a legislative genius in a different way.
Barack Obama knew what he was doing when he decided to ask Joe Biden to be his running mate, and Biden has already proved his value to the President and to the nation.
So let’s have a moment of salute and gratitude to the man who helped more than anyone in resolving this debt ceiling controversy!
