Excellent points. Biden is definitely more decent than the Great Orange. But he is a putts and a wheeler dealer (as in more than a bit crooked). We need an FDR but they don't make them anymore. The whole point of Jimmy's election was to make our presidents less like Emperors. On the issue of perfection, recall the Federalist Papers part, "if all men where angels no government would be needed". Men are not angels, but we need our leaders to lead us to our better selves.

PS: Thanks so much for your interest in my observations.
