I want to name DC's Union Station after Joe Biden. Biden Union Station. After his decades taking Amtrak and his incredible ushering of the infrastructure bill and all the other significant legislation of his single term, let's get it done.
Honestly, I had tears in my eyes because he is not only a great president, but a wonderful human being. He is a man of honor and courage who loves our country. History will be very kind to him.
I love Joe Biden. Always have. I was raised 'Midwest', he's my kinda people.
His lifetime has been spent serving the people of this great nation. And, him saying he derived his joy in that was satisfying
He was an understudy to the most important job in the world and, boy, did he pay attention! All the accomplishments he told us about could only have happened with HIS shepherding.
This was a truly fantastic speech from an unbelievably amazing statesman. *mic drop*
I doubt anyone will ever rise above Joe Biden as my number ONE president.
I cannot adequately express how much appreciation I have for your positive and respectful words about Joe Biden. It is especially heartening to hear younger people singing his praises in a time when so many people are making ageist comments. I appreciated your comment about how people want things to be like a reality show, focusing on the surface rather than looking at the substance. I have been so upset these past few weeks while Biden has been treated with such disrespect, particularly when people were saying that he was being arrogant and selfish by not stepping aside. I love Joe Biden, as so many people do, and I cried all day last Sunday when he announced that he wouldn’t be running. I really would have loved to see him be able to carry out more of his vision for the country. I know that he will continue to contribute in some way, and I look forward to seeing how he does that. I am happy for all of us who love him that we got to experience having such an outstanding and dedicated President during our lifetime, particularly during a time when many politicians are crass and opportunistic. I am amazed and excited about how Kamala is bringing so much energy to this fight, and I appreciate that she has so much respect for Joe. Let’s go forward and watch her wipe the floor with Trumputin!
I can't wait for 4th grade Donny runs out of insults. Joe Biden a man who dedicated his adult life in service to America will never be forgotten. Thank you Joe.
I love Joe too and what he stood for for the American people! I cried too on Sunday! Thank you for your very lovely post of Joe. The feeling is mutual! Kamala had a great teacher and will be a force for trump to reckon with! WE as Americans just need to get out the vote to show our appreciation for Joe and our Democracy!!!
What a great speech. I have mixed feelings because I never wanted this speech to happen. But here we are. Joe Biden, for the good of the country and the Democratic party is stepping down. We still have him for six more months as our president. For those naysayers he likes and sounds pretty healthy. Our job now is to see that Kamala Harris is elected as President in November. A turning point in our country...our first woman president who is a person of color. It's about time! Her background and history as a U.S. Senator and prior to that Attorney General for the state of California should leave us all with a feeling of confidence that she will be a president that serves as well as Joe Biden. Wouldn't it be great if she asked Joe Biden to be her Secretary of State!
It was annoying to have the media complaining that he didn’t explain WHY he stepped down. Could it be that they wanted to be vindicated by having Joe admit that he could no longer handle the job…wouldn’t that be fun! Then they could run a story every day about how he should resign now.
And they could talk endlessly about how Mike Johnson is next in line.
Nope. Joe handled it the way a statesman should.God bless his good sense snd his giving soul!
I'm impressed with President Biden's honesty and diplomacy that is based on his many years in politics and experience dealing with every problem that was his to solve. We must realize that he understood the problems with the American people who saw him as an old man who might not be able to make the decisions that he has been making using the administration that he has control of. Handing over his support of VP Harris was the best and hardest decision he has ever made and his thoughts were for America when he decided.
I thought it was wonderful. It was historic. You have to have a sizable ego to run for President - and to step back because you think it is best for the country is an IMMENSE sacrifice. And it seems to be working wonderfully!
Joe Biden's speech was everything we could've hoped for. He's a President I'll remember always. He'll be a force right up through his last day in office, getting things done and bringing love, compassion, wisdom and brilliance to his work and to those fortunate enough to be around him.
The truth is the media wants chaos, tragedy, and outlandish things to happen just lie the talking heads who are paid millions to not report, but create a story.
If you think I am wrong, would you watch news just reporting good things? Sometimes, but not that interesting since you can’t come up with conspiracy theories, dug up dirt or continue to be relevant while earning millions a year.
Good decision by Joe, but done entirely wrong out in the open and not having the decency to talk to him and others privately.
I did not watch the speech, because I knew the most patriotic man alive would make his speech about We The Pepole, not himself. He exemplifies dignity and and profound sense of what America is and where we are headed. His selfless choices will be taught in history book for decades. There are not to many presidents we remember, but President Joe Biden is a man we will never forget,
President Biden brilliantly put us back in our high school US history and civics class rooms for much—needed lecture about what makes our country so great, the envy of the world.
I think Biden did a fine job as president. If you listen to fox news we are living in a hellish 3rd world crime ridden dystopia, but we all know people are doing good overall, we are suffering the high inflation and most of all are suffering from price gouging by corporations. They have raised food prices by 30%, rents and asset prices are through the roof and this was all by design. Everything about the country is doing good EXCEPT for the fact that companies are becoming more and more extreme in caring about nothing but enriching their rich owners and keeping workers at wages that cannot even pay for food and a roof. What pisses me off is that the dems still refuse to do the one thing that will fix our government. Term limits on congress and the senate. These politicians are bought and paid for and after 10, 20, 30 or more years they turn their amased power into a career and are so indebted to special intrests that they cannot serve the people. It's time to put term limits for ALL branches of government, supreme court, house, and senate. Also, dems should pack the supreme court if they lose this year. we absolutely cannot allow trump a second term with this joke of a partisan court.
Use these next 6 months doing something to “ fix” this awful Supreme Court. We know that he will be fought all the way. He is the reason that our country got out of Covid after the horrendous actions of trump who did all that he could to make himself “ look good” by making it so that hundreds of thousands died unnecessarily. He kept needed equipment away from Blue States S much as he could by messing up orders etc. He is the most horrible human being that I have had the misfortune of experienced in my 76 years. He made sure “ tests” were not done as needed only because he wanted to keep “ his numbers down. He lied about the seriousness of Covid as he admitted to the very famous author who spent hours and hours with trump , interviewing him for a book. The country was in very dire straights when trump finally left. Before leaving he made deals with the Taliban terrorists, releasing 5000 imprisoned terrorists fighters in Afghanistan, also sending home all but 1500 American and NATO soldiers. He made it so the so called army that US trained had time to make deals with the Taliban terrorists to lay down their arms surrendering to them after 20 years of American $$$ spent in Afghanistan. Biden had to finish the crooked deal trump made and get the rest of Americans out to prevent fighting to start up again. Trump did that all intentionally to make the incoming president look bad. Trump fired many Pentagon Leaders just weeks before his term ended in order to put in place his sycophants to be able to issue Mertial s Law before Biden could be sworn in as president. He not only refused to help with transition of administration as every other outgoing president had done before him, but, he made sure to make it as difficult and dangerous as possible. Everything he did was extremely Distructive for the US . He did what he thought would elevate himself at tremendous cost to our country in every way possible. The damage he did may never be repaired. He is still doing everything he can to destroy our country. For all we know it is possible even likely that trump and his billionaire$$$ funding this destruction and his traitors in senate, House and Supreme Court have Sold out our country to Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China. We know that he sold Top Secret Military Nuclear plans to these Enemies whom he adores.
At 82, I have only a few years left during which I will be often regretting that bullet´s trajectory. He is the luckiest and least deserving man alive.
I agree that much must be done but Democrats cannot do it without more senators and congressmen and Judges at all levels. Republicans Vote NO to everything that might help the “ regular people”. Republicans passed the infamous” citizens United” which makes it possible for billionaires $$$ to give $$$$billions , secretly, to politicians for campaigns and even paying for Justices and judges who create “ cases” assign those cases to their judges to get results that they want. That has been going on for decades. Democrat Senator Whitehouse has a book about the investigation on Heritage Foundation , Leonard Leo, Mitch McConnell and the nillionaires$$ responsible for the Corruption in our government. He is trying to get Action on his findings. We cannot get anything done without enough Democrats in senate and house. It is in our hands to vote for democrats first to save us from Dictatorship , then have votes to make laws that changes some of this corruption.
You may be correct and his legacy will soar when we elect Kamala Harris as our next president. I don't think all will be forgiven regarding Anita Hill. However, his legacy 99% of it will be powerful in the history books, and political books of the future.
He deserves to be honored for being a true Statesman, a President with integrity and remarkable leadership, and accomplishments. Best president in 100 years, in top 5.
I want to name DC's Union Station after Joe Biden. Biden Union Station. After his decades taking Amtrak and his incredible ushering of the infrastructure bill and all the other significant legislation of his single term, let's get it done.
That’s a great idea!! ❤️
I agree!
Great Idea I love that station. Everytime I am there it somehow reminds of decades past, it nostalgic and beautiful.
Yes!!!
Honestly, I had tears in my eyes because he is not only a great president, but a wonderful human being. He is a man of honor and courage who loves our country. History will be very kind to him.

Love him so much ! I thanked God over & over when he was elected
Well said.
Joe will go down in history as a great president.

Term limits take the power away from voters and hand it to corporations.
If a senator has to worry about how he's going to make a living in 8 years, he's not going to care if you're angry about his vote.

He did what he needed to do by stepping down and by speaking to the people … Thank you for your service, President Biden.
Thank you,
