    Which will do nothing now we haven't even used a third of what is already on order it will not get one does into someone's arm any quicker and if you are suggesting that with a President Trump we wouldn't have order anymore as needed you have really taken whatever he says hook line and sinker.

    How can a president who honestly cannot or selectively cannot remember that the Covid vaccine was here prior to his taking the oath be good for America?

    Joe Biden had his vaccines prior to taking office.

    Biden's decency, condoning rape and torture...
    https://nypost.com/2021/02/17/biden-says-uighur-genocide-is-part-of-chinas-different-norms/

    BUT OMG, Trump is so mean! I care about real decency, not the image of decency. Will Biden remove the Trump Admistration's designation of China's activity as "Genocide"? Or will he throw those people under the bus to make good feelings with China?

    Foreign policy is tough and certainly not a black & white deal and those who believe it to be so thankfully have no decision making power. I seem to remember a certain recent president who "was in love with" possibly the most brutal dictator on the planet - seriously? - give me an effing break. I recognize the difficulties that lie ahead, this isn't easy stuff.......

    In love with? He met with him and yeah that has bad optics, but we got our soldiers home and the missiles are no longer being lobed toward Japan or farther. Its always about optics with politicians. I care about results. We will see if Biden can get results. I am not feeling confident though.

    He will field softball questions with scripted answers that he reads and he will place valentines on the White House Lawn. While all that goes on, his handlers are working overtime to destroy America.

    This sounds like a non-answer to me. What has Ron Klain done that makes him great? I guess I could google him, but humor me and just tell.

    The most unfortunate thing about the Trump presidency is we've really lowered the bar for our standards for the office of the presidency. Our standards are very low right, Biden doesn't have to do much of anything and he will receive praise regardless. Unfortunately this is going to do great damage to our political system as a whole.

    It actually wasn't a non answer, it was just a thought on how you could check things out for yourself instead of relying on what anonymous people have to say on an internet forum. For example there is absolutely no way I would make this board my source for factual information. As for Ron Klain, the man's experience stretches back years and he knows government, governance and is very familiar with people on both sides of the aisle. In my opinion, one couldn't ask for a better Chief of Staff.

    I'll say it again, if you're just looking for someone to tell you what you should think and you're not willing to check things out for yourself - that's on you. All of the Biden administration's policy statements, goals on economy, pandemic, foreign policy, economic policy domestic policy, healthcare, what has been done so far, and on & on have been published. Whether or not you choose to look it up is on you.......

    I will tell you that I, along with a majority of people, not just in the US but around the world, were very, very pleased with Joe Biden's huge win in November. If I had never read or listened to a thing about their goals & plans, Biden would be my choice - simply because he's not Trump. People sometimes either vote for or against something or someone, in this election it was both in favor of Joe Biden. While the Republicans did very well in the Nov 3 election down ballot, the top of the ticket was the weak link. The reason is Trump himself....

    I think our political system as a whole has been damaged, perhaps beyond repair when we moved into this modern political era of polarization, the great divide and mega, ultra high partisanship. It was this move toward the modern era, probably begun in the 90's, that resulted in Trump. Trump is an end product of this modern era, not the cause.

    Biden didn't have much to offer outside of the fact he wasn't Trump. Old, bland, unenergetic, no charisma, lacking enthusiasm, unable to inspire, but a very safe candidate against Trump. Biden behaved as an adult and that was what voters, at least independents where looking for.

    Yes, the MSM has taken sides in our political battles, they don't report the news, fully, fair, accurately anymore. The news is always reported from a partisan viewpoint. Perhaps the good thing remaining is most Americans don't trust the MSM anymore.

      • 9% in U.S. trust mass media "a great deal" and 31% "a fair amount"
      • 27% have "not very much" trust and 33% "none at all"
      • The percentage with no trust at all is a record high, up five points since 2019

    Kind of a good question. I guess the answer is that I believe a president/administration should have policies that at least reflect good intentions for the citizens of the country.

    Why have a discussion forum then? I guess I'm looking for one person to stand up for this administration by telling of a specific policy that will be helpful to this country. Unfortunately, I am not finding this.

    Today, I flipped over to MSNBC to see for myself what they are saying. The commentator was like Trump, Trump, Trump, whine, whine, whine. Then he did report on the Cuomo situation, sounded pretty truthful, then back to the Trump Trump whine whine. It is no wonder people who listen to this all day just can't get over Trump, as their news media can't get over him and won't let them!

    By long-standing medical and legal definitions, it's not a vaccine. It is a gene editing injection.

    I think the responsibility for improving our lives is ours. The president is responsible for protecting the country and managing the government effectively. It is isn't his responsibility to improve your life. I would settle for his not doing anything at all. Too bad he doesn't play golf.

    And you expect that to happen in a little over a months time in office? Good to see you have reasonable expectations....:roll:

    Yes! For the most part the president's expected policies are in place before they even enter the oval office. But, maybe President Biden really did go into this without any idea what he was going to do (scary). However, I did temper my question by saying what do you expect he will do, making an allowance for the limited time he's been in office.

    Yeah, the news has been all about Trump. Basically nothing on how Biden is governing or even what he's doing. It has been, Trump, Trump, Trump. You'd think with all the coverage Trump is still getting, he's still president.

    At the very least, he will attempt to bring the left and right towards bipartisanship unlike Trump who wanted to demonize his opponents.
