Joe Biden: The most photogenic vice president in history

By Chad Merda

It’s rare for Vice President Joe Biden to make a public appearance and not give us one of those classic Biden moments. Whether he’s grinning, pointing or just has a goofy expression on his face, he can easily be categorized as the most photogenic vice president in history.

For example:

He’s just missing the Joker makeup.

Seeking divine intervention?

What’s he looking at with United Nations ambassador Samantha Power?

No, he’s not telling a story to small children. He’s giving a speech.

His main sqeeze, Jill Biden. And he’s proud of it.

Is he trying to keep the girl from grabbing his face?

He’s really excited to be in Atlanta:

AND NOW SOME VINTAGE BIDEN

Perhaps the best one of all time, during an appearance in Ohio in 2012.

Someone made a funny:

He’s easily excited:

Who’s happy to be there?

The Joker face, part 2:

The open mouth, double finger pointing is an interesting combo:

Of course, we can’t forget about that time he was really excited to be at Costco:

Or the State of the Union Address:
