Did you see the interview of Bob Woodward on O'Donnell last night? It's a must see

It was chock full of praise for Biden, saying how he kept us out of a nuclear war and heaped extensive condemnation on Trump. it was truly remarkable.

Good point... but Woodward has a habit of withholding info for his books. In this case, hopefully it will help us LymphocyteLover Oct 2024 #10

He reveals all - as long as it is in his book so that he can make some money.

It's what authors do. Do you criticize Robert Caro for only revealing things about Johnson or Robert Moses in his books?
When he worked for the Wash Post, he also wrote for money.

But I do question his character when he puts his interest in making money before the good of the Country.

This is not the first time, remember what he said about Trump and Covid, how Trump was aware of how dangerous it was. Yet, he chose to say nothing about it until he wrote his book. I wonder, what a difference if would have made if Bob Woodward had decided to share with the American people what Trump had revealed at the time, rather than waiting a year plus to get the book out.

I was pleasantly surprised, and Lawrence kept bringing up the fact how both Biden and Harris counseled Zelensky. I had not heard that before.
I'm going to local bookstore today to order it, if they don't already have it.

This, as Bob Woodward described it, is how one ACTS as President. A "concept " tRump has no idea how to do.

I have been a fan of President Biden for a long time. The Woodward interview on the Last Word was amazing.

Why didn't he say this months ago when Ezra Klein and James Carville and Peter Welch and George Clooney were all telling us about how doddering old Joe was.

Wish that Woodward had told us what Millie said much sooner.
