The way Greene treated Biden is a metaphor for the poor way many of us in the Democratic Party have been treating a president who excels at his job. We have looked foolish, complaining about what he hasn’t done, what he needs to do, and more urgently, how old he is — because if Biden wasn’t old, his approval rating would be soaring.

Like Greene, we’ve been sticking our finger in the eye of a man who is giving it all he’s got, who is firmly on the right side of history, and who is not finished. And we need to give him his due.

Remember just how bad things were in 2020? Biden rescued us from COVID, turned us away from a recession, reengaged us on climate, and returned America to its rightful place at the forefront of global affairs. He put our transportation system back on track and reversed the rot that Donald Trump had instilled in our government.

All of this, and more is, as Biden himself might say, “a big f**king deal!” I daresay no one in this country was better suited, when it comes to the temperament and experience, than Biden to right America’s ship after Trump crashed it into an iceberg. Biden has been denied the credit he so richly deserves because of one factor – and it really is only one factor – that the chattering class says he’s too old.
