The graciousness of President Biden is such a breath of fresh air!

Thanking members of the opposing party who voted for this infrastructure bill. Saying that he's already called some of them. Something there was no way would ever have been said or done by TFG. He'd have choked on the words 'thank you'.

I've waited a LONG TIME for this man to be POTUS - and I'm thrilled to see it has finally happened.

I got to shake his hand in January, 2020, and tell him that.

He flashed that million dollar smile, and I got a great selfie with him....

His campaign was not angry, he did not call anyone to climb the barricades. His was, and still is:

This is America! There is nothing that is wrong that we cannot fix!

Indeed! I am not one that enthusiastic for him in the Primaries. But once he clinched that, I most definitely got behind him and looked so forward to moments like this.

Graciousness is a quality of character Biden exudes naturally. I remember a time, when graciousness, gratitude, gestures of appreciation was the norm. Was expected, without prodding.

I love that he's bringing the principle of decency back to the White House.

I love that we all are appreciative of these kinds of values.

I got to meet Joe twice in 2019 at fundraisers and he is really a nice person. I got to talk to Joe about stuttering and got a Biden hug
