Early life and family
Biden was born February 3, 1969 in Wilmington, Delaware, the older son of U.S. Senator and U.S. Vice President-elect Joseph R. Biden, Jr. and his first wife Neilia Hunter. His mother and younger sister were killed in an automobile accident in 1972, in which he and his brother Hunter were also badly injured. He and his brother encouraged his father to remarry,[2] and Jill Jacobs became his stepmother in 1977. His half-sister Ashley was born in 1981.
He is a graduate of Archmere Academy, the University of Pennsylvania where he was a member of the Psi Upsilon fraternity, and Syracuse University College of Law. From 1995 to 2004, he worked at the United States Department of Justice in Philadelphia. At first he served as a Counsel in the Office of Policy Development and later as a Federal Prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office. In 2004, he became a partner in the Wilmington law firm Bifferato, Gentilotti, Biden & Balick.
He is married to wife, Hallie, and they have two children, daughter, Natalie, age 4, and a son, Hunter, age 2.[1][3]
At the 2008 Democratic National Convention after Joe Biden was nominated for Vice President of the United States, Beau Biden introduced his father. He recounted the auto accident which killed his mother and sister and the subsequent parenting commitment his father made to his sons, a speech at which many delegates wept. [4][5]
Political career
In his first bid at political office, Biden ran for Attorney General of Delaware in 2006. Biden's opponent was the veteran state Prosecutor and assistant U.S. Attorney, Ferris Wharton. Major issues in the campaign included the candidates' experience and proposed efforts to address sex offenders, Internet predators, senior abuse, and domestic abuse. He won the election by approximately five percentage points.
After being elected he appointed former Delaware Attorney General and International Judge Richard S. Gebelein as Chief Deputy Attorney General, and former assistant U.S. Attorney Richard G. Andrews was appointed as State Prosecutor. As Attorney General, Biden has supported and enforced stronger registration requirements for sex offenders.[6][7]
When Joe Biden is sworn in as Vice President of the United States in January, he will leave a vacancy in the U.S. Senate that Beau Biden may fill, according to recent speculation.[8] Delaware's outgoing Democratic governor, Ruth Ann Minner, or Democratic governor-elect Jack A. Markell could appoint Beau to serve the first two years of Joe Biden's term. However, Beau Biden's Delaware Army National Guard deployment to Iraq could complicate that appointment.[9] Biden could also both take the Senate appointment and fulfill his military service as has been done in the past (Senator Warren Magnuson and Congressman Francis E. Walter were among several members of Congress who left their elected posts without resigning in order to serve in World War II)
Military service
Biden is a member of the Delaware Army National Guard, and serves as a Captain in the Judge Advocate General's Corps as part of the 261st Signal Brigade in Smyrna.[10][11] In August 2007, he received notice that his unit would be deployed to Iraq in 2008. He was deployed on October 3, 2008,[12] the day after his father participated in the campaign's only vice presidential debate. His father is on the record as saying, "I don't want him going. But I tell you what, I don't want my grandson or my granddaughters going back in 15 years, and so how we leave makes a big difference." [13]

21/10 : John McCain répond à Joe Biden (VOSTF)
Joe Biden, le colistier de Barack Obama, se fait rare dans les médias. Et pour cause, le président de la Commission des affaires étrangères du Sénat a beau être l'une des voix les plus influentes du Congrès, il est réputé pour ses nombreuses gaffes. Sa dernière du genre remonte à dimanche. Joe Biden s'exprimait devant un groupe de contributeurs de Seattle, lors d'une réunion qui avait lieu, pensait-il, à huis clos. Un journaliste, présent dans la salle, a toutefois enregistré le discours du sénateur du Delaware. Un passage a particulièrement surpris l'auditoire et s'est répandu comme une traînée de poudre sur la Toile. "Croyez-moi. Il ne se passera pas six mois avant que le monde ne mette à l'épreuve Barack Obama, comme il l'avait fait avec Kennedy () Ecoutez, nous allons avoir une crise internationale, une crise fabriquée, pour voir de quel bois se chauffe ce gars-là () Je vous garantis que cela va arriver." Sauf que la crise financière a déjà touché les Etats-Unis depuis septembre Le candidat républicain John McCain n'a pas tardé à réagir à ces déclarations. Mardi, lors d'un déplacement de campagne qui se tenait à Bensalem, Pennsylvanie, il a affirmé : "Nous ne voulons pas d'un président qui invite le monde à le tester à un moment où notre économie est en crise, et où les Américains se battent déjà dans deux guerres !".
