(JOE ROCKS!!) President Biden visits D.C. middle school to mark the start of classes

https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/08/28/joe-biden-school-visit-dc/
(paywall, sorry)



“Oh my God, it’s really you!” shouted a student at Eliot-Hine Middle School in Northeast Washington, where President Joe Biden stopped by Monday to mark the new school year. There was so much squealing and excitement that one staffer marveled, “This is like the Beatles.”

Biden, accompanied by first lady Jill Biden, first visited the lunchroom — where a big banner touted the school’s valued traits of “excellence, responsibility, integrity and communications.” Then they dropped by an eighth-grade math class at the 300-student campus.

In the classroom, decorated with colorful posters that displayed math symbols and the order of operations, one student proclaimed loudly, “Joe Biden!” The president hugged one excited child and talked about whether she could someday become president.

“The hardest thing is to come back after three months of not doing any work, not doing any homework,” Biden told the class. A teacher in the classroom explained they were spending the day reviewing concepts from last school year to see what everyone remembered.

The MSM will avoid the not a circus President and leading D candidate like the plague.

That should be our job, main duty. Report on what the citizens want and what is being given back…more than money, better than rage, it’s called empathy.

………..

Still 0 criminal indictments and 0 sex scandals…boring!!…so…

Or….Let’s get back to the conspiracy theories, ok!?

They make me so proud and happy. And they understand the importance of being kind too.

Jill Biden:
“We love our students, and so if you’re going through tough times, or maybe you’re struggling a little bit in math, maybe you’re struggling a little bit at home, you know you can go to your teachers,” she said. “You can trust your teachers. We are always here for you.

But, gotta say, these two take the cake all three times. Maybe that means three cakes!

I LOVE Joe Biden AND Jill Biden. I'm so proud of them both! He may be my favorite President, of the whole lot. I hope he gets reelected! Everybody here: PLEASE make sure you vote when it comes time. And if you can, gently spread the word so friends don't accidentally forget.

I just love both of them because they represent what's good in America. The media gives more attention to the crap that that other "guy" does and says and not enough about these two wonderful people. I try to catch David Muir on at 6:30 PM and never do I see these types of stories about our President and First Lady. All we get are stories about the criminality of tfg and his cohorts.
I want more stories about what these two and our wonderful VP are doing every day. I am so sick of hearing about the GOP I want to crawl in a hole until they all go away.

young voters. His campaign people can produce great ads with this theme and all the touching photography of Jill and Joe with the children.

Other side won’t get much media attention focused on love, seems hate is much more profitable.

Doesn’t matter. Media not reporting? So what!…Love still exists, and it’s everywhere, hate should just give it up.

A positive thread with lots of comments…makes my day!!
