U.S. Vice President, Joe Biden, along with his wife, Jill Biden, arrive in Costa Rica on March 29th. They took this trip to meet with Central American leaders and discuss issues such as immigration, drug trafficking, environmental issues and the progressing "Good Friend Policy" that is currently being put into play.
The "Good Friend Policy" is a play off of the "Good Neighbor Policy" that FDR piloted years ago.
While Biden was spending his time meeting with the Central American leaders, Jill Biden was spending her time in a 3rd grade classroom. Mrs. Biden has her doctorate in education and she has taught English as a second language. “She loves being in a classroom,” Courtney O'Donnell, Biden's communications director said.
“In this world, we are all in the same boat, and the captain of that boat is named Barack Obama, and, frankly, I hope that this captain guides us in the right path, because the entire world is expecting him to guide us,” Costa Rica President Oscar Arias said.
