Alleluia, we now have a new president… a real president! After 4 long years of wandering in the desert, we just entered the Promised Land. Bells are ringing all around the world.
Yes, I watched the inauguration of Joseph Biden, and I am happy (and hopeful) with what I saw and what I heard. Our new commander-in-chief looks presidential, talks presidential and acts presidential. He conducts himself like a real president.
And for a man who once afflicted with a painful stutter, he gave a flawless, passionate, magnificent acceptance speech. A presidential speech calling for unity and hope, instead of empty grandiloquent promises.
“I pledge to be a President who seeks not to divide, but to unify.”
Joe Biden never pretended to be a “very stable genius”. As a matter of fact, according to Wikipedia, he was a poor student; but he managed to be “class president in his junior and senior years”. A poor student maybe, but a personable, trusted fellow.
Contrarily to our former “leader” he was not born into money. He was raised in a blue-collar environment and understands the plight of the common man.
Instead of surroundings himself with a bunch of fawning stooges, he has already put recognized professionals in key positions. And one of his top priorities will be fighting the pandemic.
“On Monday, I will name a group of leading scientists and experts as Transition Advisors to help take the Biden-Harris COVID plan and convert it into an action blueprint that starts on January 20th, 2021.
That plan will be built on a bedrock of science.”
Joe Biden is an experienced politician who knows his way around Washington. A very useful consideration for somebody who plans to unite instead of disparage his opponents.
A real president is not afraid to praise and share the limelight with his wife and collaborators, and Joe has already proved it. Something extremely refreshing.
Without using a plethora of superlatives, he pledged to be a president for all Americans and restore the world’s respect for our once leading democracy.
I believe him and for our sakes, I wish him all success in all his future endeavors.
