The President welcomed the UCONN men's basketball team, 2022-2023 season NCAA champion to the White House. Not sure if the LSU women's champion team was also there. The blond woman behind the Biden is the UCONN President, Dr. Radenka Maric.

Eisenhower was president when i was born, so there have been a few amongst the gawdawful republicans since. But I do think that Biden is making his name right here and now. I am actually ashamed that I took so long to support him for this job.

.... those hurts into his core spiritual driven belief of his seeing his job as to "how can I help somebody
have a better day." You can not fake what that clip just showed and that is kindness.

It's never hate filled or demeaning either unlike tfg. He can poke fun at himself.

He and Barack are two upstanding, classy gentlemen.

Closed Caption is the text that we can see on some videos when there is instantaneous translation of the voice.

ASL is one example of signing (sign language) which usually accompanies a video in a PIP (picture-in-picture) mode. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Sign_Language

I was blue-skying. Not expecting any of these to happen for DU-produced content. However these are pretty common when government or organization content is presented.

the other side is...as my great grandma would say "a different kettle of fish...rotten, stinking fish". Have I mentioned she hated Republicans and told me from the time I was small that they were snakes who would sell the entire country out in a heartbeat?

She loved FDR, said he was the greatest president of her lifetime. Voted straight ticket D every time. Never missed an election.

I wasn't a fan of his. But he has been an awesome surprise now that he is in a job for which he was very prepared to handle. And that he is personable and has empathy for kids. The GOP tried to make it a bad thing, but he really has a way with youth, which is an aptitude and signals good empathy.
