Joe Biden Is the Best! The Very Best!
I have been a political junkie since I cut high school one day in 1960 and went down to Herald Square for a huge JFK campaign rally sponsored by all the garment unions in New York. I have voted in every election since 1968, and I have never voted for any Republican candidate or any third-party candidate including that egomaniacal Ralph Nader, who couldn’t destroy the UAW so he tried to destroy the blue team.
I am, when all is said and done, a yellow-dog Democrat and I will vote the Democratic slate again in 2024.
That being said, I believe and I say this without reservation of any kind, that Joe Biden is the best President to serve in my lifetime and I will vote for him again if he heads the Democratic slate next year.
Why do I say that? It’s very simple. He has demonstrated a level of leadership and decency which his predecessor tried his best to diminish, if not entirely foreclose.
The man who occupied the same office occupied by Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt didn’t once say anything without cursing, without insulting, without lying and most of all, without always making sure that the idea of government was whatever he decided it should be.
In other words, Trump had no respect either for himself or for the office he held, notwithstanding the fact that maybe half the world’s population regard the President of the United States of America as representing a political ideal which they want to follow and believe.
