(38,601 posts)Paraphrasing here. Out darkest moments have led to the greatest change.
Weve had talk, its time for action. Cant wait for the first 100 days of my presidency. Calling on Congress to act this month. End use of chokeholds. Police reform. Rectify economic inequities. Expand in Obama care.
People are suffering. Knows his is not the same but knows pain. Talking about anniversary of sons death. Talking about Kennedys assassination and MLKs. Bending the long arc of justice.
Refers to trumps racist and threatening tweets. Not the words of a president.
Americas story is one of action and reaction. Racism didnt start with trump and wont end with him. America is not a fairytale with a guaranteed happy ending. Its always a fight.
Ask yourself is this who we are? Is this who we want to be?
I look at the presidency as a very big job. No one gets it right all the time. I wont get it right all the time either, but I wont use fear and blame.
Our duty includes remembering who we should be. The America that cherishes like liberty and courage. And each other.
If we stand together as one America well move that arc. Take care of one another. Theres nothing we cant do when we do it together.

(36,926 posts)It was so wonderful to hear a wise, kind and, yes, presidential response to the horror we're living through.

(38,601 posts)Then observed that even the pillow guy sounded more presidential than Trump since the bar is so low (but she wasnt diminishing Biden, just pointing out trumps failure to act like a freakin leader since hes not one)
MoonRiver
(36,926 posts)But Biden really was awesome in that speech. Shit for Brains can't possibly compete. The debates, if they happen, should be fun to watch!
