He spoke without notes. He didn't resort to name-calling.He said things like, "Correct me if I'm wrong ..." He only spoke about the upcoming impeachment trial when asked about it.
He didn't talk about himself or proclaim his greatness. He talked about us and things that effect us.
Ladies and gentlemen, there's a statesman in charge!
I know, I know. There are those who insist Joe Biden is "slow." Those people, I am quite sure, won't watch his press conferences. To borrow from Paul Simon, "a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."*
But still, I'm sure he'll keep doing "the pressers." I don't expect all of us to agree, nor should we, but it's a relief to hear the decency, the civility, and the attention he gives to the people's business.
*I read his predecessor's tweets. I watched his rallies. I listened to his briefings. Donald Trump worked hard to earn my contempt.
I try not to watch too much news. President Biden reminds me of one of my old Pastors. His messages were calming but still full of truth. I guess each man will speak based on their character. I am praying for him because it is what the Bible teaches and because he sure has a lot to deal with! Now if we could just get the vaccine over her. I am 65 and now eligible, but the vaccines are in short supply.
ReplyDeleteMy sister commented that the press secretary was eloquent and spoke in complete sentences. :)
ReplyDeleteHe is a HUGE breath of fresh air...
ReplyDeleteI really like you p.s. at the end. I have been listening to the press secretary's briefings and they are calm. She's respectful to the news reporters as people. No yelling or calling people names, nor does she have a defensive stance. Just a woman doing her job as best she can, and being courteous in the doing of it.
