Good one!

Yes a real president now doing daily briefings!

I have envisioned Joe as a modern-day FDR since he became our candidate.

And the current state of our country is the closes to the Great Depression, in my opinion.



I'm hoping for a renewal energy WPA-type program. I wonder if coal miners, who voted for their abuser, chump, would rather be in a coal mine or tilting at windmills?

But I also see the possibility of a Truman redux. Even though HST gained the presidency because of FDR's death, we're facing similar threats. For Truman, it was a two-front world war that was still raging in April 1945, and for Biden it's the twin trouble of a teetering economy and a global pandemic.

Either FDR or HST results would be fine. Without the nukes, of course.

The crayon and stick figure one for Dump and a real one with words and paragraphs and statistics and stuff for Biden.

It's probably going to be eye opening for the first few days and weeks.

I can see the briefers piling over each other simply to get to say something to someone who is listening for the first time in years.
