Did you watch Biden's press conference this morning?

[cilla4progress]

To me, he is proof that when you live your values it just gleams off you.

I vastly underestimated him early in the campaign. He has proven me wrong.

[Cracklin Charlie]

1. He knows how to do this.

He is competence walking around in a suit of clothes.

[rurallib]

2. Every minute - at the end when he was giving praise to VP Harris

I just knew she wanted to just laugh out loud in her best laugh, but decorum kept her quiet. She would have been laughing because she was happy.

Haven't heard that great robust laugh of hers for a while.

3. It was awesome, so well done.

And of course, the content ...

I bet he put fear into a lot of Republican politicians!!! He is showing the country who he REALLY is, not the befuddled weak socialist caricature they make of him!!!!

4. I was deliriously happy! And I was deeply impressed the way he gave Kamila credit.

It's hard for me to understand why anybody would dislike this obviously decent man?

I think he wants Kamila to succeed him in office. He is the perfect bridge from TFG's nightmare to a more progressive and wonderful USA.

Here's to success!

7. !

Kamala.

18. I agree, CTyankee

My only guess is that the deplorables dislike him because he is everything they are not.

He is the pure definition of a decent man.

My sister is a churchgoing Catholic and she hates him! I will never understand it.

8. Here is the press conference

Fast forward to 43 minutes in to see it:

12. Thank you for the link.

It was fun! The President has quite an off the cuff sense of humor. I enjoy the spontaneous answers he gives to reporters. And also, at the end when Joe and Kamala are exiting, he pauses to let her go first, and she gets him to go first, and she follows him out. That seemed spontaneous and respectful.

[onethatcares]

15. He was doing what he learned all his life

treating someone else with respect.

In "the Scent of a Woman" Pacino says, "I don't open your door because you're a woman, I do it because I'm a man".

President Biden has that ingrained in his spirit, and boy, it's so good to be able to type "President Biden"

[cilla4progress]

9. I think my favorite part was his response to a reporter's question

about the purported $450K to every migrant who underwent child separation under TFG.

It was so honestly passionate!

[ananda]

10. I think Biden is one of the smartest presidents we've ever had.

He casts himself as average, ordinary Joe but he's wicked smart.

[Boomerproud]

14. He has the quality of emotional intelligence.

Something this country, and the world are in dire need of.

[ananda]

23. True, but I actually meant brainsmart.

...

[RussBLib]

11. Biden stumbles a bit when he goes off-script

but so what? His heart is in the right place. Compare to TFG.

I hope we can get a list of all the worst bridges in this country that will receive attention first.

Dems need to loudly tout this accomplishment. And it was a little bipartisan.

[UTUSN]

13. It was a much needed *BOOST*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was energized, snappy, sharp!

[George II]

16. I loved the way he toyed with some of the press. He's pretty quick on his feet.

[FakeNoose]

17. Yes I had my TV on for President Joe Biden this morning

He's a Rock Star today!

[dlk]

19. Biden is the right man for this challenging time

What a difference ihaving a seasoned professional in the Oval makes! (As we’ve seen, the presidency is no place for someone lacking experience in elected office.) I’m very proud of our president and what he’s managed to accomplish in less than a year while facing the most difficult circumstances, and can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next. Go Joe!

21. Here's a link where you can see--and hear it! 😊

The link posted above didn't work for me (not enough volume for my wonky ears), so I went looking and found one I can hear just fine.

Thanks, NBC News!
