Please take care of yourself and try to beat this. I know several older gentlemen who survived prostate cancer so it is beatable, under the right circumstances.

(208 posts)He exudes goodness. Kindness. Empathy. Strength.
I have always looked to him as the type of person I wish I had for a father.
Its so unfair that this man again has to endure another unimaginable situation. Why I will never understand.
God be with him and his family. I will be praying for him.

does a horrible excuse for a human being like trump just keep waking up every day & wonderfully caring people like Joe are dealt so much heartache

(15 posts)As a 50 year retired union member Joe Biden is the most labor, friendly president in the history of our country and to see how some members of labor turned on him in the last last four years . their behavior definitely did what the facists in the , republican party intended divide and conquer , love you, Joe youve been a major player in my career. I just wanna say thanks man thank you very much.

(229 posts)Why does this happen to genuinely decent people like Biden and Pope Francis but that fat demon walks around without a care in this world? It's not right.
Wishing Biden the best.

nuxvomica
(14,092 posts)By insisting that the post-COVID recovery be bottom-up instead of top-down, he went against the traditional recovery strategy favored by both parties, which was to just pump billions into the banks. The results contributed some to inflation but experts were genuinely surprised that a recession didn't follow because all their models were based on the traditional strategy. Biden rewrote the playbook on them. That's real, meaningful leadership. But we don't seem to hear a lot about it because it goes against the "wisdom" of the usual vested interests in finance and the media.
not fooled
(6,680 posts)the entire nation would have been aware of Biden's many great accomplishments and how much he was doing to help most Americans. He would be immensely popular and revered. His legacy would be secure. The country would be moving forwards.
Welcome to DU.

(34,407 posts)birds-eye-view of the United States Government, for what seems like a very long time. I can't recall when he first entered my awareness space, but I think it was he and Chuck Hagel in some committee meeting laughing their asses off at something. Back in the day, when there were still a few almost decent Republicans.

I would hope that tRump will keep Joes name out of his nasty mouth! (Im not putting any money on it, however. Sadly, he isnt capable of common decency)

(90,020 posts)I hope the Biden appreciation grows, and then grows some more! I hope people finally wake up to what it meant to have an HONEST President, who didn't get there by lying about almost everything, and plastering his name on everything else.
It's like comparing an ant hill to Mount McKinley.

Also a kind man. I feel very bad hes had to endure so much pain in his life.
B.See
(8,502 posts)who's always worked on behalf of the people, PRESIDENT Biden has been much UNDER-APPRECIATED. I feel that, and have always felt so. He never got the accolades he deserved.
So to those who continually dismissed, demeaned, and denounced him, like Trump, so-called political pundits, journalists et al, I don't want to hear of thoughts or prayers, or anything of the sort.
Like Obama, Biden was a better PRESIDENT than many deserved.
Of that, I am certain.

.. who are carrying on the fight today without America or Trump right now.

He was wheels up Monday @ 3 am in D.C. flew straight through to Germany for fuel and
then onto Warsaw from there he took a train to Kyiv
btw as they train started rolling we
called the Russians and told them dont even think about anything
. got in sometime in the
am
. And showed up @ Zelenskyys Home @ 8 AM sharp and he was looking sharp too.
And after Ukraine Joe met with the leadership guys from multiple European Countries and put
together a multilateral partnership that was so good that after Trump cheated his way back in
and they all knew he was Russian Dirty that partnership came together and wrote Trump and
America out of European Affairs and moved on without Trump. Joes fingerprints are all over the
new power European power structure right now.

(13,247 posts)He accomplished a tremendous amount for the betterment of American people, and deserves our gratitude and thanks.
His shabby treatment by the media, and others, is a national disgrace! (Much of it founded in a deep-seated snobbery based on his humble roots.)
Sending well wishes to President Biden and his family for his current health concerns.

Thank You, Mr. President.
