I’m Thinking I Was Wrong
Okay, as you know I have always adored Joe Biden. As a human being he stands tall in the self-actualization triangle. I believe he is a genuine adult.
He was not my first pick to be president. I thought we needed someone younger with new ideas and a new plans. Maybe I was wrong.
Doris Kearns Goodwin wrote about Abraham Lincoln’s Team of Rivals and here’s Joe repeating history. Look at his cabinet. Look at his advisors. I guess old guys know stuff, too.
I listened carefully to his speech last night. He calmed the waters, he gave cautious hope, he has a plan, he loves his country, he passed a major bill, and he understands how I feel. I think he’s what we need right now.
By the way, I am told that the rightwing over on Twitter is calling the president Dementia Joe. They say he relied on a script. Yes, he did. That’s what presidents do unless they want to start an insurrection and get people killed. They also say he can’t remember Trump’s name so he calls him the former president. No, he knows Trump’s name but he’ll be damned if he’ll say it, and calling him “the whining ninny baby I whipped,” seems harsh.
I liked the speech. It gave me hope.
