Run against Biden to do better than him

In just over a year since Russia’s unprovoked and murderous invasion of Ukraine, President Joe Biden has demonstrated the diplomatic resolve for which this country has always been known. He has listened and talked with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, consulted with other NATO countries and conferred with the appropriate Cabinet members. Who of us is qualified to say what is too much or not enough? As an observation, the mere fact that his visit to Ukraine two weeks ago was a “total surprise” to nearly everyone indicates how strict, loyal and positive the president’s team was in the planning. No leaks? What a concept. A recent letter writer expressed his opinion that this had been a “photo op” for President Biden. Like Donald Trump in Haiti with the paper towel toss?

There are lots of opinions about his age, but I say couple that with his experience in the Senate and on the world stage, along with his integrity and spiritual support. Is Joe Biden perfect? Of course not. But he loves this country. Finally, the world is reminded of the graciousness, resolve and strength that is American. The applause he received from thousands of Ukrainian and Polish citizens speaks to that. He does not make decisions based on his “brand,” nor for financial gain or playing to an ignorant, traitorous crowd.

I think President Biden is doing a fine job, given the circumstances; consider that we have a disingenuous media and the lackluster support of a Congress that has trouble remembering the truth about anything. Anyone who thinks he or she can do better, run against him in 2024. Good luck with that.
