Americasincoming First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, is handling her first controversy with grace.

That was such a surprise!

One of the things Im most proud of is my doctorate, I mean, I workedsohard for it.

Since 2009, she has been a professor of English at Northern Virginia Community College.

Any chance you might drop the Dr. before your name?

The, frankly, rude essay was met with widespread criticism online.

I mean, I am so grateful and I was just overwhelmed by how gracious people were to me.
