Everyone has heard by now that President Joe Biden has withdrawn from seeking the nomination and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
There will be and already is lots of discussion concerning whether VP Kamala Harris is the selection or maybe others will seek the nomination. But that is a discussion for tomorrow.
Today we should reflect how lucky we were to have President Biden for the last 3.5 years and be grateful for what he has done for us and the country.
Joe Biden is a good and decent man. He saved us from 4 more years of Donald Trump and the extreme anti everything party.
We all want to forget COVID but Joe Biden took over when thousands were dying daily. He got supplies to hospitals, got shots into arms, provided money to businesses to keep them afloat and the country out of a depression.
He was inaugurated in a heavily guarded ceremony with almost no participants because Donald Trump executed an unsuccessful insurrection on January 6. Joe Biden navigated us through this. Who actually thought that the DOJ would arrest and convict hundreds of insurrectionists.
He passed the biggest bill to allocate money to fight climate change. Maybe the biggest threat to all of us.
He passed the CHIPS act bringing the manufacturing of computer chips used for just about everything electronic back into the United States.
This economy created millions of jobs, raised peoples wages, stock market over 40,000. The economy is so hot that all efforts to slow if down have met with limited success as there’s still demand for jobs.
He almost single handedly resurrected NATO and unified it to fight Russia the second largest threat to democracy (you know who number 1 is) in Ukraine. He has also unified our allies on the Pacific Rim to counteract China in the region.
Insulin capped at $35, out of pocket costs for Medicare at $2,000, working every path to eliminate student debt.
We filled the courts and executive positions with people who looked like America. People from all races and religions. He nominated the Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
How many times have we heard politicians say that you must put the country ahead of oneself for the good of the country. How many politicians have ever done it? Joe Biden just did it. Joe Biden should be honored for the patriot that he is. He likely has saved us again from Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans (which appears to be all of them).
Joe waited until after the MAGA Convention to announce this so we could hear from the very old, mentally unstable, incoherent man ramble on for 90 minutes. Until after the over confident MAGAs picking a horrible VP with no experience who changed all his views. Basically Donald Trump with a beard.
Thank you if you reached this spot. I likely missed many accomplishments but this is what I could recall off the top of my head.
I believe today what I always have: that there is nothng America can’t do when we do it
together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America.
THANK YOU, JOE
OK. Here we go! Get to work! We can do this!
