there are Hearts on the White House Lawn. thanks Jill (VIDEO CLIP w/ Dogs)

President Biden: "#ValentinesDay is a big. Jill's favorite day. For real."

Q: "What inspired you to do this?"

@FLOTUS
: "I just wanted some joy. With the pandemic, just everybody's feeling a little down. So, it's just a little joy. A little hope. That's all."

This is HUMANITY and CARING at its best.

Now wait for it, the Conservatives will be throwing a hissy fit that Joe was wearing jeans of all things as they did when Obama wore his tan suit in the WH briefing room!

Champ, who is 12, seems to be having some pain or stiffness in his hips, which is a common problem with German shephers - poor old guy - but he seems to like having a nice big lawn to stroll around on with his humans.

And isn't it nice to see a president who isn't a sloppy bucket of lard wearing a baggy suit and a necktie reaching to his knees?

and openly asking personal questions just like they're at home. What a relief for them, especially in this cold weather.

They can now be professional journalists again.

and I'm thinking that the next time, he'll find some way to bring them all coffee.

The media hasn't always been kind to Joe, but he's going to respectful and generous to them. As Lindsey Graham said, "If you don't like Joe Biden, there is something wrong with you." (Not exact quote, but close enough) Mike Memoli has covered Joe for over a decade and I expect he will write a book some day. Once the press gets to know Joe, they see what an incredible person he is. There is a story about E.J. Dionne as a young reporter who considered Biden a bit arrogant and entitled, until he got to know him. I can't remember the details now, but it was typical of what I have read about Joe.

All it took was thinking of others and putting a tiny bit of effort into spreading joy. It worked for me! 🥰

and he's working very hard on pandemic and financial relief for all Americans.

I'm so grateful that despite the overwhelming tasks at hand, they take time to share their personal thoughts, love and joy.
