The proof of competency is in the Pronouncements.
Many Americans have been wondering, since last year. . . just what it means to have a functional Chief Executive.
Yesterday, Feb5, 2022, our advantage in having a President who can speak plainly and effectively, to define what this nation stands for, was clearly demonstrated.
Explaining and defending our historic role in this modernizing world, President Joseph Biden declared, clearly and boldly, just who we Americans are and what we intend to do to keep this world safe for democracy and to support our Allies around the world.
In his address to our State Department, President Biden declared, early on:
“. . . we must start with diplomacy rooted in America’s most cherished democratic values: defending freedom, championing opportunity, upholding universal rights, respecting the rule of law, and treating every person with dignity.”
I hope you can take some time to follow this link and read, in its entirety, what our President said to Secretary Blinkin and those diplomats and workers who represent our interests around the world:
Please allow me to add a personal note. If you choose to read Joe’s message, notice his careful use of our English language to speak convincingly to our people and the world at large.
That clarity—that carefully constructed message—demonstrates the difference between President Biden and the loser of 2020, whose shoot-from-the-hip, wildly improvised blather almost jerked this nation into a trench of treasonous insurrection.
I am relieved that we got rid of an Oval office occupant who regards himself and other leaders as bully kings brandishing their assets on a world video game.
In this world, in this economy, clarity and constructive dialogue are still important. Thanks to our Congress, and especially to our former Vice President—who did the right thing— the mantle of leadership of these United States was lawfully and dutifully passed from the ranting narcissist to the experienced statesman, whom we now have in the Oval office.
There are some contentious politicians and self-important talking heads who have been striving to destroy Joe Biden’s leadership. Those troublemakers love to remind the President's enemies that our President once had to face—and work diligently—to overcome a very slight stutter.
So what? The proof is in the pronouncements. Handicaps are to be overcome.
A few generations ago we had a President who, from his seat in a wheelchair, supplied and defended our Allies, while we collectively drove the damn nazis and hero-worsippers back into their holes.
Now, Joe’s clearly defined Feb4 message—including his willingness to employ the counsel and factual reinforcement of his competent staff—is testimony of not only his diligence to define our national goals, but also his persistent emphasis on communication.
We can see clearly that, day by day, President Joe Biden is, slowly but surely, restoring the dignity of the office of the Presidency of our United States of America.
See the link above to be inspired and motivated, once again, to be an American.
BTW and FYI, I opine here as a still-registered Republican. Respect is not confined within party identities.
