Vice President Joe Biden can sure relate to the Oscar winning hit-movie "The King's Speech".

Much like the King George VI character protrayed by Colin Firth, Joe Biden was challenged by stuttering but also conquered is as discussed in a revealing People Magazine article, "Joe Biden Opens Up About Childhood Stuttering Problem".

In the excerpt available on People's webpage Biden says:

I was in 7th grade at St. Helena's and I still remember the reading: "Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentleman..." I remember reciting, "Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentle man." The nun said, "Master B-B-B-Biden! What's that word?" She wanted me to say gentleman. But by then, I had learned to put my sentences into bite-size pieces and I was reading it: "gentle" | breath | "man".

Ninety-nine percent of the time, the nuns were great. I never had professional therapy, but a couple of nuns taught me to put a cadence to my speaking, and that's why I spent so much time reading poetry – Emerson and Yeats. But even in my small, boys' prep school, I got nailed in Latin class with the nickname Joe Impedimenta. You get so desperate, you're so embarrassed.
