I think my dad has always had an idealism about what he does and he has passed that on to us. I think he feels more than anything if you can wade through the bad parts of politics, that what you really have an opportunity to do is help people.

You don’t have to be an elected official to serve.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden#cite_note-Family-1>
