Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joseph Biden and a doctor of education, is taking her new hometown by the horns: She announced today that she will return to teaching, her career of 28 years, and will work as an adjunct professor at Northern Viginia Community College.

Mrs. Biden, a major education advocate, will take on two English courses.

“I am thrilled to return to the classroom to continue working with community college students, whom I greatly admire and enjoy teaching,” said Dr. Biden, according to a White House press release. "I have always believed in the power of community colleges to endow students with critical life skills, and I am pleased that I can make a difference by doing what I love to do, teaching people who are excited to learn.”

Everyone knows what PhD stands for. Piled higher and deeper. So we know that Joe comes by is naturally.

Kudos to her. Amazing, I''m sure the little GOP minions will find fault with that of course.

All last week during the inauguration, she wanted to be referred to as "Dr Jill Biden" .... like anyone really cares that she has her doctorate. Most people don''t go around using it while being introduced unless they''re a little insecure. She''s annoying like her husband.

I hope she can teach Joe Biden that FDR was not president nor did he use TV in 1929. I hope she does not allow her students to plagiarise like her husband does.

*** who was president and whether tv was available yet or not does not matter to us working class people.. we just care about having a president and vp that care about us working class people, not the rich walmart executives like amnesty mccain and republicans..

Good to see someone who practices what they preach. I hope the Secret Service keeps an eye out for the nutcase Rush and Hannity parrots.
