 By many accounts, as evidenced by video footage, observation and interviews, Mr. Biden is not the same today as he was even when he took office three and a half years ago. Similar reporting in The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. Are you the same man today that you were when you took office three and a half years ago? In terms of successes, yes. I also was the guy who put together a peace plan for the Middle East that may be coming to fruition.
