I love Joe Biden

[boston bean]

Watching cnn. He is a great human being.

I know it is right to pass the baton to Kamala. No doubt.

But he is a great president. He will go down in history as one of the greatest.

Luv ya Joe!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

1. Bold Joe Biden may have saved the world.

[Cha]

10. lol... There is That! 💙

[LW1977]

2. One of the best in my 47 years!

One of the others being President when I
was born.

[soldierant]

22. The very best in my 79 years.

[wryter2000]

42. Same in my 75 years

And we old folks remember some great presidents.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

3. So do I!

[Celerity]

4. agree

[Miami Blue]

5. President Biden is beloved and respected by all decent Americans

“ Nowhere else on Earth” could a “kid with a
stutter” from Scranton, Pennsylvania become
President.”
“That's what's so special about America.
We're a nation of promise and possibilities.”

🇺🇸
Thank you for your service middle-class Joe.

6. As Nancy Pelosi said this morning

He's Mount Rushmore great

[calimary]

8. I will toast that statement with a BIG cup of tea with honey in it!

And maybe a little artificial sweetener in case honey isn’t enough.

[displacedvermoter]

27. Good of her to say so

[Alice Kramden]

7. Love and admire him so much

Tremendous success as President - one of a kind

[Joinfortmill]

9. Me, too. He spent his life being underestimated.

[4catsmom]

11. Best President in my lifetime

we owe him a debt we can never repay

[displacedvermoter]

28. Hate to say it, but so many people

saying that "Best President" thing far too publicly and too frequently may have angered some folks who made their reps in other Administrations.

How much that resentment and jealousy led some people to denigrate the President, and make his leaving the ticket come to pass, will be the stuff of conjecture and the pages of tell all biography in years to come.

I have some thoughts...

[Tweedy]

33. If that is true

We have some folks on our side who need to grow the blank up.

[displacedvermoter]

36. Can't argue with you

though some of these folks keep showing up on TV and on podcasts, and folks, even on DU, take them very seriously

[Tweedy]

37. I stopped watching the non news

And my mental health is better for it.

I wish we could get others to follow suit. The gop is not done planting their ear worms after all.

[mahina]

12. Me too. When I was working in my garden today, I was thinking about

How lucky we were that President Obama chose him, that we all worked to help them get elected, that he was willing to run. We’re so lucky that he had all of that experience going back to the 70s, all those relationships, all those lessons learned. He is a living, breathing lesson in how to get stuff done. He is 10 times the president I hope he’d be and my hopes were pretty dang high.

I won’t lie, my heart still hurts that people didn’t support him, but we are where we are and he chose a great VP in Kamala Harris. Pray God, we prevail.

[SimplyHadEnough]

17. Thank you

So much for your post mahina, you've express how I've been feeling but couldn't but into words. It's very much appreciated.

[Tweedy]

34. Absolutely!

[Ishoutandscream2]

13. He's a very good man

The greatest compliment a man can get.

[Biophilic]

14. 78 years here. Definitely the best president and human being of my lifetime.

Nope, don’t want him to be a saint. I’m talking about best human being. He always tried to do what he believed was right. Hard to navigate those words in the political world but he did his best.

[StarryNite]

15. I feel the same.

[tavernier]

16. I've told this story:

His first campaign manager was my neighbor and he told me he took the job because Joe was the most decent man he had ever known.

Turns out he was right.

[NNadir]

18. I think pretty much everyone here feels the same.

[PortTack]

19. Same...watching him I so wish we could've had 4 more yrs of his steady hand! He did the right thing..as always

Kamala will be a really good president…she is so lucky to have him as a mentor

[moonscape]

20. Me too! I got weepy watching him

on the tarmac after the prisoner swap, thinking of all the work he had done for them and for us, and then taking off his lapel flag and putting it on Paul Whelan - a spontaneous, not calculated, gesture.

Ot sure why he went up into the plane after they were out and with their families, but imagine it was him going up to greet the crew, thank them, just be Joe.

Am going to miss him.

[wryter2000]

43. I saw a video of him giving his lapel pin to a little boy

The boy's grandmother was standing next to him. She said to her grandson, "Do you know who that is? That's Joe Biden. He's going to be the next president." And she was right.

[usonian]

21. Joe Biden is historically significant, and more.

He has overturned bogus economic theory, and opened the door for real hope for justice and equality, the kind of hope that drives people to elect people and pass laws to guarantee them.

My thoughts here:

https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=19282595

And one more thing. As I watched in real time, he gave his Presidential lapel pin to a freed hostage.

He is now the greatest of all time in my book, and that's a damn fine book to be in.


And he hates nazis.

[not fooled]

31. You are absolutely right

He has overturned bogus economic theory, and opened the door for real hope for justice and equality, the kind of hope that drives people to elect people and pass laws to guarantee them.

Just one more great aspect of Joe's presidency that too few grasped or understood, even though many benefit.

[Tweedy]

35. The "conservative" republicans will try and

resuscitate trickle down. There will be “centrists” who try and shove aspects of it down our throats too.

Heck, our felonious former president is trying to do it right now.

Always remember Chicago School/trickle down policies do not work. Those policies increase speculation not solid sustainable growth. They encourage the rise of Pinochets instead of perfecting our Union.

Always remember Joe Biden got this country’s economy revving and put the speculation about other countries overtaking our economic miracle to bed for at least another generation

With an industrial policy (like we haven’t had since before I was conscious)
That had the middle class and those areas left far behind at its heart.
Just like an flexible, smart old school democrat would
Joe Biden did this.

[barbtries]

23. ditto. nt

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. I love him too, and I'll never forget how he was treated on the way out. n/t

[Brainfodder]

25. He is great, just makes putting up with this super loser grifter BS, even grosser?

Dolt Donald called the current V.P. a DEI hire and dumb.

If he accidentally tripped and fell into an industrial chipper, I'd feel sorry for the chipper.

Go Joe!

How the hell will Citizens United ruling and others get reversed, that is my actual concern, or this BS is just going to be election season nonsense on repeat until climate change wipes us out?

[gademocrat7]

26. President Joe Biden

has dedicated his political life to our country. He is a man of integrity and compassion. A man with a true servant’s heart.

[liberalla]

29. I really wish he could've had a second term to continue and complete his

plans to get America back on track. I'm so grateful for all his willingness to fight the battle and lead us out of darkness (trumpism, fascism). He is a GREAT man and a GREAT PRESIDENT.

Don't worry, I'm fully on board with Kamala! But I'm going to miss Joe.

[Jean Genie]

30. Love him!

Just like Simone Biles, Joe is an honest-to-god GOAT! We are SOOOO fortunate to have had him as our President at this crucial time!

[ismnotwasm]

32. Agree.

He is amazing

[BluenFLA]

38. Biden's Legacy

It's amazing what Biden was able to accomplish during his time in office. We can only wonder about what if he continued, but it's also possible he may have handed the reins over to Harris.

I also feel that his accomplishments will have a lasting effect on our lives for decades to come and that will be his legacy.

As sad as it is that Biden will only serve one term we are fortunate that he was able to become president and make his contribution to our society which will be more than many two term presidents.

[Saoirse9]

39. Best president of my lifetime. I'm not a young woman.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

40. President Biden is an amazing leader

[Clouds Passing]

41. President Joe is very cute too, I love how he cracks himself up!

[Dem4life1970]

44. Biden is selfless, wise, smart, principled, down-to-earth, full of integrity....

...and a real leader. History will be very kind to this very kind man.

[KPN]

45. No question!
