If you were expecting President Biden to take a victory lap, to boast about his remarkable achievements in just 50 days in office, it's understandable. After four years of the former president, many of us became accustomed to self-serving rhetoric. But Biden's first prime-time address Thursday night was something altogether different from that.
Biden was 20 minutes into his speech before he mentioned that he had just signed into law a $1.9 trillion Covid-19 economic relief package that is, in fact, one of the most significant pieces of legislation in modern history -- one that will change the lives of tens of millions of Americans -- and that he made it happen less than two months into his presidency.
Instead of a self-serving, boastful address, he offered a moving, compassionate and uplifting and inspiring speech.
When Biden speaks about the pandemic, when he implores Americans to do their part, when he speaks about losses, and about his determination to defeat the virus, there's a striking earnestness in his demeanor. He promises to tell the truth. We've all learned to become cynical, skeptical of politicians, but Biden sounds, as he might say, like the real deal.
Listening to this brand-new President, watching what he has done so far, it's impossible not to wonder how many lives would have been saved if the United States had had a reasonable, competent, stable president when the coronavirus struck. How many who died would be alive today?
It was exactly one year ago that the pandemic was declared; one year ago that the former president gave a national address filled with lies, empty promises, and incoherent information.
Although he had much to brag about, Biden did not come to praise himself. He came to ask for help, and to boost his country's spirits.

My only expectation of Biden is that he can still walk few steps unaided and that he does not try and remove his depends in public.
It is certainly that one.
The $1.9 trillion “rescue package” will cut roughly $480 billion from Medicare over the next ten years. Another hidden gem right out of Obama’s playbook. Seniors should really know about this, not a word from the MSM.
These people live in an alternative universe from us. CNN is reaching new heights of detachment from reality.
