What good speeches?

Yeah, I totally understand the concern given his neoliberal roots and his life-long method of thinking like a politician. I think it's still to early to reach conclusions based on initial concerns as his policies have yet to produce measurable results, but I do understand that there's more to the job than speaking reassurances.

Still, all things considered, I would much rather have Biden in office than any prominent Republican out there. He's at least been a dedicated public servant throughout his tenure and has an innately affable personality. One would hope that he at least is open to different ideas given the different circumstances rather than the politics-as-usual approach people like him take

Indeed. Pretty, eloquent, scripted speeches do [i]not[/i] a good president make.

He is doing what he is being told to do. That's the best we can expect.

He’s not my president.
