This is a very good speech - timely

9. This is a great speech that Biden is giving

Unflinching, direct and saying out loud: we need to learn not what we want to learn but what we need to learn--the good, the bad and the ugly.

Biden is a huge asset for the Democratic Party. More importantly, President Biden is a great asset for the country in troubled times.

Read an article this morning indicating the Republicans have failed to lock onto an effective argument against Biden. Why? Because of the man's basic decency and good nature.

What a world we are a-living in!

[Ocelot II]

10. Maybe his best yet.

He didn't pull any punches. Bravo!

[peggysue2]

12. Absolutely correct!

He didn't sugar-coat the words. He spoke the truth bluntly but with more sadness than anger. Because I think Joe Biden sees the country through generous glasses. Not rose-colored glasses but generous, as in we can always do better, be better, become what we're suppose to be.

Not merely in words but action.

Bravo, indeed!

[malaise]

11. Really really good

History says don’t hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.”

13. There's a reason Biden has quoted this so frequently
