"Not once — never — did I believe I acted inappropriately."

After former Nevada lawmaker Lucy Flores accused Joe Biden of inappropriately kissing her, the former Vice President and expected presidential candidate, defended himself by saying:
"In my many years on the campaign trail and in public life, I have offered countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort. And not once — never — did I believe I acted inappropriately. If it is suggested I did so, I will listen respectfully. But it was never my intention."
A woman from Connecticut has now also come forward to accuse Joe of acting inappropriately. Amy Lappos claims that during a 2009 political fundraiser he rubbed noses with her. She said:
"It wasn't sexual, but he did grab me by the head. He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth."
Rubbed noses with her? Maybe he thought she was an Eskimo.
To be honest though, I think Joe is just a touchy-feely kind of guy and I believe him when he says he did not feel he acted inappropriately. While his behavior with Flores and Lappos was unwanted, I do not believe there was anything sexual about it.
Will Biden's behavior with women get in his way if he does decide to run for president? Only time will tell.
