Appreciation Thread for President Joe Biden

[MineralMan]

Challenge: Add one thing that you appreciate his having done. I'll start:

In the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, President Biden has rallied and unified NATO nations to stand together and cooperate in sanctioning Putin, Russia, and the oligarchs, and in supplying Ukraine with defensive weapons and support.

1. K&R, Biden is NO DOUBT a leader on the international front.

[Atticus]

2. He tells us the truth and he is trying to do what is right, not what's personally

profitable.

[rurallib]

3. hiring Jen Psaki

[Hugin]

4. I thank him every day for my...

COVID vaccinations.

At the end of 2020 vaccination was clearly being set up as a spoils system and Biden/Harris quickly shut down that noise.

Thanks, Joe!

[Elessar Zappa]

5. I credit him with potentially saving my life.

With him in office, the vaccine rollout went smoothly and I was able to quickly get vaccinated. I have cystic fibrosis so it really mattered that I received it so quickly.

[GoCubsGo]

6. He made the presidency boring and normal again.

No incessant self-aggrandizement. No daily, idiotic PR stunts. No constant fear that he's going to say or do something stupid, cruel and heinous. No need to ask every morning, "What fresh hell awaits us today?"

[niyad]

8. Exactly.

[TigressDem]

47. K&R THIS TOO!!

[niyad]

7. Along with every amazing and important thing he has done/is doing, I loved

that he told that russian asset doocey, "I'm not telling you". Made me smile.

[mcar]

9. Saved hundreds of thousands from

death by Covid.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

10. Have never felt more positive about a Demorcratic President!

[cilla4progress]

11. On the economy - his work ending childhood poverty,

deficit, unemployment, wages for federal workers, support for unions.

Woot woot!!

[SmallFry]

12. Nominated you young and brilliant black woman to the SC. NT

[lpbk2713]

13. He's shown dignity against Trump's lies and exaggerations.

And there have been many such occurrences.

[BigmanPigman]

14. I can't add only one thing, maybe 20 things if

I trim down my list.

[sheshe2]

27. Perfect!

Thank you, Cha.

[Cha]

29. Mahalo to you, she!

💙💛

[SunSeeker]

34. Exactly, Cha! He drove us out of the ditch Trump drove us into.

Just like how Obama drove us out of the ditch Bush drove us into.

And Biden had the guts to finally withdraw us from Afghanistan. We are no longer at war anywhere.

[Cha]

35. THAT's PROGRESS! Joe Biden IS a

Progressive! Dem he doestn' just talk about it.



💙💛

17. Go Joe..nt

[bsiebs]

18. I can sleep again...

[spanone]

20. 🇺🇸..K&R..🇺🇸

[momta]

21. Two words: NO TWEETS!

[Totally Tunsie]

42. Bazinga!

[TigressDem]

48. Well, he has an account, but doesn't legislate from it.

Just updates, like normal people do.

[Aristus]

22. He has reminded us of the dignity of public service.

The Republicans view the Presidency as an opportunity for self-aggrandizement, instead of service to the nation.

Joe Biden has reminded us that the President is the servant of the people. And he fills the office admirably.

[wnylib]

23. He sees the big picture in domestic and

foreign situations and acts on what he knows, while pundits who lack the ability or knowledge to see the big picture criticize his actions, only to see later that he was right. He does this knowing that he will be criticized and is not deterred from doing the right thing, despite critics.

But, he also listens and makes changes when it is warranted.

This takes knowledge, wisdom from experience, the ability to synthesize information, and the ability to listen to knowledgeable people in their areas of expertise.

In other words, he has the qualities of a good leader and also connects with "the people."

[FakeNoose]

24. He doesn't lie or scream insults at anyone

He's a decent, caring man who pays his taxes and doesn't lie about his net worth.
He has brought dignity and decency back to the White House.

Thank you President Joe Biden!

[TigressDem]

49. YES!!!

[Nanuke]

25. Restored our world leadership and courage

With force, pride and dignity

[DinahMoeHum]

26. He has salvaged our reputation and respect around the world. . .

. . .after TFG did his damnedest to wreck it.

[BMW2020RT]

28. Steady leadership.👍🏻

Addendum to your submission: President Biden accomplished that without instigating a nuclear exchange with Russia.

[SuperCoder]

30. I love our President Joe Biden

And he has exceeded all expectations when I voted for him.

Well done, Mr. President!!!

[SheltieLover]

31. Ty, Joe!!!!!

[KT2000]

32. Handling of Putin

uniting NATO, appointments, using the resources he has to make good decisions, talking to FOX "reporters" like the idiots they are, and his kindness toward people in need.

[Cozmo]

33. Thank you Joe, love, love, love

[BobTheSubgenius]

36. A fine, fine President.

There is nothing about him I dislike, or disapprove of, and MUCH that has surprised me. He is much more decisive than I had feared before he took office, and, even though none of them would admit it, much sharper than the opposition gave him credit for.

[paleotn]

37. My thoughts exactly!

Unifying NATO on damn near anything is an accomplishment few can match.

[tavernier]

38. He talks to the children

and helps them to understand that in hard times, they don’t have to worry and be afraid. Their job is to be children and to be happy.
I know that many little ones go to bed with fear and anxiety when they hear stuff on tv and don’t understand.
Joe understands this, has lived it.

[summer_in_TX]

39. His appointees reflect our multi-racial, multi-cultural diversity.

Kamala Harris, VP (first woman VP, first black woman of color, first woman of S. Asian descent)
Pete Buttigieg, Secy Transportation (first openly gay, same sex married)
Dr. Rachel Levine, Ass't Secy-HHS - transgender pediatrician and naval admiral
Ketanji Brown Jackson - SCOTUS nominee (first black woman appointed, only the second public defender)

And on and on.

To me, he embodies someone whose heart is tuned to service out of love (for God, for neighbor, for country), and that service includes lifting up those who have been left out of having a seat at the table.

[usonian]

40. Restored our national dignity.

and he honors our military and veterans.

[BidenRocks]

41. He told tfg to shut up.

[CaptainTruth]

43. Ok, will you acknowledge my addition?

My addition may be similar to yours, but I truly appreciate how he has stood up to Putin, & not kissed his ass like TFG did.

I also appreciate how he genuinely cares about the American people, all of us, not just a minority who "comprise his base."

[Totally Tunsie]

44. He brings with him a wonderful First Lady

of whom we can be proud and not embarrassed. Dr. Jill Biden is a treasure!

[GoCubsGo]

53. And, with them a cat and a dog.

I really missed having critters in the White House. Only a sociopath hates dogs and cats.

[Greybnk48]

45. President Biden is the man we need right now.

Just like FDR was perfect for his time. Biden is amazing, and he's just getting started.

[TigressDem]

46. So many ideas....

Much of what President Biden has been doing is moving the huge stone of 45 up the hill every day and trying at the same time to actually get other things done. It's like watching a firefighter during fire season in California go out every day and put out brush fires then have people saying, "But what else have you done?" What about all those cats in trees?

My greatest respect is in regards to Covid. He's worked to get as many people vaccinated as soon as possible and kept funding available so people can continue to survive during this horrible time.

[TigressDem]

50. THANKS for putting this out there. It should be a weekly segment.

What has Joe done that you like?

[taxi]

51. Being the example of a world leader,

of showing the US understands and recognizes countries and governments of the world, and that world governments working together give us a better world.

[betsuni]

52. K&R

[bluboid]

54. Leadership - brilliant leadership!

[Nululu]

55. After TFG Biden united people. Proud of my President

[peacebuzzard]

56. Personally, I can finally sleep at night and my bp and attitude improved.

Thank god Joe stepped up to the plate

[Demsrule86]

57. Thank you President Biden...K&R

[soldierant]

58. I appreciate so much, and agree with everyone ...

but I'll just add ... Willow.
