President Obama spoke at the Democratic Convention last night:
"For close to four years now, he's shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves. Donald Trump hasn't grown into the job because he can't. And the consequences of that failure are severe….
So let me tell you about my friend, Joe Biden…what I quickly came to admire about Joe Biden is his resilience, born of too much struggle; his empathy, born of too much grief. Joe's a man who learned – early on – to treat every person he meets with respect and dignity, living by the words his parents taught him: "No one's better than you, Joe, but you're better than nobody…..
This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that's what it takes to win. So we have to get busy building it up – by pouring all our effort into these 76 days, and by voting like never before – for Joe and Kamala, and candidates up and down the ticket, so that we leave no doubt about what this country that we love stands for – today and for all our days to come.”
I feel sorry for Donald Trump because he really is doing the best he can, he just doesn’t know that he is supposed to do the best he can for the country, not do the best he can for himself. He is literally mentally ill and a host of other very unflattering descriptors.
But, his time has come and he will go. Joe’s time has come. The world will take a big sigh of relief when we stop the dictatorship of Trump from becoming worse and even uglier.
