Anyone who knows me can tell you I have a deep-- bordering on weird-- fascination with Vice President Joe Biden. I think he's incredibly entertaining and in a world of boring politicians, he's a breath of fresh air.

Here are 15 reasons why Joe Biden is a national treasure.

1. He's always excited to go vote

That smile is the smile of a man who loves democracy.

2. He's passionate

Joe Biden, tellin' it like it is

3. He enjoys cool cars

He's got the signature shades on

4. He's an entertaining speaker

Even in his early days, Joe Biden said more with his hands than many people say with their mouthes.

5. He's encouraging

Look at him backing up President Obama during the State of the Union.

6. He loves animals

Only a true animal lover would have such a big grin on their face.

7. He makes healthy choices

What could make water cooler than seeing the Vice President (and the President, I guess) drink it?

8. He'll remain devoted to the American people

Anyone else could easily walk away, but not Joe!

9. He can improvise with any object

I think that's a pencil in his hands he's using as an airplane.

10. He's fashion conscious

Look out, male models, you've got some brand new competition.

11. He's not too cool for Leslie Knope

I would be just as excited as Leslie to meet Joe Biden

12. He entertains himself

Who is he pointing at? Why is he pointing? We may never know.

13. He's not afraid to be bored by the most powerful man in the free world

You can just hear him thinking "when will this be over?"

14. He's bewildered by group photos. Or millennials. Or both.

To be fair, that is a lot of people in one photo.

15. He's committed to his fitness

Do you lift weights while on the phone? I didn't think so.

And if you claim you don't like Biden, all I have to say is:
