Imagine how it feels as a member of the press to be treated with kindness and respect. What a welcome change.

1. What a lovely, lovely, lovely, thoughtful man we have for a POTUS!

Just watching this probably lowers my blood pressure, considerably.

[Wounded Bear]

4. R U kidding? In a covid world that could be attempted murder...

Mostly.

[Siwsan]

10. It wouldn't surprise me if he had a coffee station set up by next week.

And if he does, she had BETTER bring those donuts!

[Wounded Bear]

11. Y'know, he might just do that...

never hurts to get the press on their good side towards you.

More street cred as the anti-trump.

[True Blue American]

25. That is a marvelous idea!

[yellowdogintexas]

23. of course, just holding it would be wonderful

I believe she was not wearing gloves

[trueblue2007]

31. GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BIDEN. I LOVE HIM.

[IcyPeas]

2. awwww I lubs da doggies

[GopherGal]

6. Press doesn't seem to have figured out which one is which, though.

Not that it should be too hard if you know that one is 14 years old and the other is 2. Champ is quick to lay down and just watch Major, the young whippersnapper, run around exploring.

And I love that they "got Champ a dog" as a way to keep him healthy!

[niyad]

16. It is even easier. Champ is black/brown. Major is black/white.

33. We got our 12-year-old GSP a dog...

...I swear that obnoxious lil Boston has extended her life. She loves him so much. And they play like puppies!

[More_Cowbell]

35. I have friends whose vets told them the same: get their older dog a younger one

They had been afraid that a younger dog would pester her, but she perked up immediately and they think it added two years to her life. (But they had lost a dog recently, so that might have been the difference.)

3. Too cute...

and in jeans, no less! It's so wonderful to have real people back in the WH.

(I'll bet he gets a lot of heat for it, though. )

[efhmc]

14. Not from anyone who matters.

[Totally Tunsie]

15. True.

[Walleye]

5. Joe is always respectful and kind to the press.

I covered senator and vice president Biden for years as a photographer for the local newspaper in Wilmington. He always respected what we did and treated us like human beings, and never got in the way of us doing our job. not all politicians are like that. I remember when the reporters were waiting outside the gate at his house just before the announcement that Obama had picked him. He came out with two large containers of coffee and a box of donuts for the press.

[Totally Tunsie]

17. Sounds like a great assignment!

[Walleye]

26. It was. It's a small state they're were only maybe 10 photographers in the paper he got to know us

I really never thought he would be president since we only carry three electoral votes, but I was always impressed with the way he treated people and his knowledge of the issues. So yeah I feel lucky I got to know him. Even in a professional capacity. And in Delaware we were used to rubbing elbows with our senators and governors. I live pretty close to his house maybe three or 4 miles to where he did live. And he’s well-known and very popular here in the neighborhood at the local businesses and Jill as well.

[Totally Tunsie]

37. Lucky you!

I'm sure the Bidens are every bit as genuine as they seem.

[Demsrule86]

7. what a wonderful man Joe is...

[Doreen]

8. OUR president in jeans! How awesome is that?

He is such a sweet caring person. Jill is awesome also. Do you think if we showed up to she would give us doughnuts to?

[dalton99a]

9. Kick

[safeinOhio]

12. When I grow up

I want to be just like Joe.

[FirstLight]

13. ahhhhh...

breathing a sigh of release and relief at this wonderful First Family

[Peacetrain]

18. I have played this 3 times now.. it is just so normal!!

thank you..

[LiberalLovinLug]

19. But but but but but...I though a President was supposed to hate and attack the free press?

Otherwise it means they are in cahoots.
A great many people are saying this.

[colorado_ufo]

20. It's a whole new world,

and a good one with a good man (and his good wife) in charge.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. Da! Comrade Potus be smartest. Give enemy of people polonium covfefe!

Oops, that was the IMPOTUS who might've done that, if ordered.

Thank you, President Joe Biden! You are what we need now.

[Lunabell]

22. What a difference an election makes.

It's like a breath of fresh air from the oval office, blanketing the country in a nice warm hug. Like I can almost breath again.

I just love the Bidens. I understand why Obama chose him as his VP.

[Butterflylady]

24. I have no words because my eyes seem to be filling up with tears.

I must be allergic to something.

[Oldem]

27. He's not a regular Joe.

He lives his faith: kindness to others. The contrast to his successor could not be more profound.

[lunatica]

28. Leather jacket and levies

[Aussie105]

29. Joe has a natural easy going charm

and so does Jill.

Something failed#45 and Melania couldn't muster. Same for the rest of the horrid failed#45 tribe, really.

+1 love the dogs! So relaxed around a bunch of strangers! Take their cue from their dad, I'd say.

EDIT: Should that be 'failed#45 with two scoops of impeachment' or failed#45II' for short?

[patphil]

30. It's nice to have a humane person in the White House for a change.

The previous 4 years were devoid of humanity.
I hope she remembers to keep the cup. A small gesture, but a powerful moment none the less.

[Aussie105]

32. News media need to go full out on this clip!

and point out the contrast.

Fox News? Crickets, of course.

[BobTheSubgenius]

34. Or even just tacitly recognized as another human being.

Thinking about the press and their new-found place in the firmament, Jen Psaki came to mind. What a treasure, what a breath of fresh air.

It makes me wonder who else the White House has in their bullpen.

Anyway, these sorts of organizations (as if there was another one like THIS one) very much take their cues from the top down. 43 had nasty press secretaries and spokesmodels, 44 did not. 45 had dogs barely on this side of rabid. 46 has the best in memory, at least so far. I'm sure it's correlative.

[paleotn]

36. Now THAT is a President.

[Bongo Prophet]

38. Coffeegate! Beangazi!

[calimary]

39. LOL! Good ones! Served piping hot!

[onetexan]

40. LOL

[Raine]

41. I LOVE ❤ LOVE ❤ LOVE ❤ seeing the dogs! 🐕 🐕 nt

[Vivienne235729]

42. This is why people just love him. He is a really thoughtful, caring, humble man.

It feels so good to have someone like him in office.

[smirkymonkey]

43. I love these people.

It is so nice to have decent people back in the White House again.
