WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden heralded the restoration of respectful republican governance Wednesday, simultaneously paying tribute to the power of American democracy and warning that its survival is tenuous.
In an inaugural address short on specifics and long on calls for solidarity, the newly sworn-in 46th commander-in-chief promised, as presidents do, to be a leader for all Americans - those who voted for him and those who did not.
Two aspects of Biden's appeal made it uniquely authentic to him: context and consistency. The speech was elegantly humble in delivering a single, inoffensive thought into the collective conscience of the nation: Biden wants unity.
Biden's message Wednesday, delivered in his plain-spoken style, tracked with his repeated election-year pledge to view political opponents as friends who disagree.
Whatever the fate of his presidency, Biden started off with a basic premise about what it means for the problems afflicting the country.
"To overcome these challenges, to restore the soul and to secure the future of America requires so much more than words," he said. "It requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy: unity."
For one day, at least, much of Washington seemed ready to give him that.

Nothing screams unity like stealing our country and then calling US terrorists.
There’s a word for his type of unity, BORK.
He plans on uniting all of the Marxists, Leninists, Stalinists, Maoists, and Trotskyites.
It’s like our media is now like Pravda when Stalin ruled.
....except all those racist white supremacist terrorist who voted for Trump.
The new Commander in Chief without a military to command. 😆
“This will never be forgotten.”
