He is so quiet,

[evolves]

so measured. No need for grandstanding, bluster. Just a modulated discussion of who we should be as a people, and how he and his administration plan to get us there.

So refreshing.

[Wounded Bear]

1. True leadership doesn't need bombast and grandstanding...

[evolves]

2. Amen.

THIS is a true servant leader.

[3catwoman3]

3. Dignity, decorum...

...and decency. Joe Biden in 3-D.

[applegrove]

4. I hate to say it but what is Fox showing on their screens? I'm in Canada

and we don't get it.

[MN2theMax]

8. I looked for you

They are carrying the President’s address to Congress immediately followed by Hannity.

[applegrove]

9. I am so glad at the first part. Thanks for looking for me.

[malaise]

5. And the speech is beautifully written

He's moving from topic to topic and sub topic seamlessly

[llmart]

7. I'm still in tears from seeing two women behind him.

This is historic! I've been a feminist since I was a teenager and I'm 72 and this moment means a lot to me - just the fact that it took so damned long to get to this.

Next, I want to live long enough to see Kamala giving the speech!

[malaise]

10. It's a very importantmoment in history

for sure

[ShazzieB]

15. Me, too!

On both counts: the thrill of seeing Madame Vice President AND Madam Speaker sitting behind him, and the hope of living to see Madam President standing at the podium!

[electric_blue68]

21. I made sure I screenshot that on my cellphone!

68, and of feminist mind from my tweens onward.
I hear you!

[shanti]

6. And he's nailing it.

Love him.

[SilasSouleII]

11. He just stuck a fork in Reganomics

Done.

[BigmanPigman]

12. "Trickle down doesn't work"

Amen!

[wnylib]

18. It was so good to hear a national leader

say out loud to a national audience that trickle down just does not work. We know that, but it was good to hear it said.

[BigmanPigman]

13. I guess Nancy won't be ripping this speech in half.

Best night ever!!!!!!!

Joe,

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. Who are you talking about?

[friend of m and j]

19. BobTheSubgenius 14. Who are you talking about?

MADAM SPEAKER TORE UP ONE OF TRUMPS WHILE HE WAS STILL GIVING IT.

[BobTheSubgenius]

31. I was actually making a joke because it was so completely obvious who you were talking about.

Sorry. I'll try to refrain in future.

[COL Mustard]

16. I'm So Glad For The Change

He makes me proud for our country.

[ShazamIam]

17. I usually stick to text, but I did listen to more than half, and I say, well done Joe!

[msfiddlestix]

20. YES.

I loudly proclaim agreement.

[PJMcK]

22. Okay, you tricked me!

Like you, I admired President Biden's speech and the entire style and substance of his presidency so far.

But I thought you were posting about Trump! It has been so refreshing to have nearly every day go by where we don't have to hear Trump's latest bombastic idiocy, his whiny petulance and his profound stupidity. Thanks to Twitter and Facebook, (two entities I detest!), Trump has been effectively neutered and mostly silenced. I love it.

Meanwhile, our real president has accomplished so much with the vast approval of most Americans. Trump really should just shut up and sit down.

[LymphocyteLover]

23. excellent speech overall

[jimmyzvoice]

24. I am so proud that Biden is our President...

if Republicans refuse his invitation to participate, it is not his fault.

[calimary]

30. Welcome to DU, jimmyzvoice!

Something I've heard a lot since the end of January... "what a difference a President makes!" Heck, what a difference THIS President makes!"

[Beastly Boy]

25. When I read the header, I thought the post would be about Trump after the Giuliani raid

Not that I am disappointed.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

26. So unlike the Nazis like Hitler and Shitler.

If you catch my drift.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

27. I didn't hear the cable talk after.

Did they say it was one of his best speeches like with Obama? Because to me it was more conversational than oratorical.

[calimary]

28. As Kasie Hunt put it, on MSNBC this morning,

"it felt like the grownups are back in charge."

YES. It did! And YES it does!

[Ilsa]

29. I'm fine with Ted Cruz & anyone else sleeping

through Biden's presidency. We are exhausted from from Trump's coked up years of lies, criminal activity, and treating government service as a get-rich-quick scheme and con job.

[Amaryllis]

32. So calming. So reassuring.
