[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-02-10 Experentia est optimus, sapienta praesset juvenibus What a great SOTU, probably one of the best in US history! We all watched in awestruck admiration as a supposedly gaffe-prone, ‘too old’ Hill veteran verbally sparred with and tricked his opponents into supporting our major social programs, on video in front of the world. And outlined a clear vision of the future which a large majority of Americans support, if you look at the focus graphs. Even the Speaker was acting moderately sapient. (The Zoo of 20 acted like escapees from that zoo in Texas, but a given — one recalls the old Spanish saying, aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se qeda). And everyone needs to stop about Sinema’s dress. Never heard such vapid dickering over decorum (at least since the Right to Bare Arms in Missouri). She was supporting Ukraine, OK? Standing next to her fellow moderate Romney in deep blue (like most guys in the room), it made the flag. Get over it. What we all find irritating beyond belief in the media, besides poor war coverage (except on Kos) is THE CONSTANT CARPING LIE THAT DEMOCRATS THINK BIDEN IS TOO OLD AND HARRIS TOO BLAND. What in the h. double hockey-sticks, people? Did they poll the coasts?? Did they ask us??? That would be not. Even in the rather purple suburbs of N.VA and WashDC, where most of the Civil Service, Foreign Service, Pentagon and Intelligence services live, Biden/Harris are well-liked and respected across the political spectrum as a solid team. Yes, Harris too. No she is not a token! She was our Attorney General here in Cali. and a Senator, and for decades of public service has been re-elected. Under Newsom she was a quick study on global issues and Pacific Rim trade, as well as disaster preparedness, climate planning and water resources. Come on, we’re the 5th largest economy in the world, so Harris already had executive experience helping run a state bigger than most countries. And Biden has given her several sensitive portfolios, which she executed well under fire: The Border, Latin America and Africa. She smoothed our way back into the Summit of the Americas, after Trump angered everyone, and with many states perennially suspicious of the US anyway. In particular we badly needed to re-connect with Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela for different strategic reasons. She also helped win back over many members of the African Union, who were very put off by TFG (and his racist language). The meeting with African leaders was critical in pushing back against Russia and Wagner in W. Africa, and China trying to buy ports for loans and control the trade of the whole continent. Latin America and Africa are critical US partners in international trade and for our global security posture. Harris is very competent in a quiet way, like many women in public service. That’s how they roll. They don’t come out in the press room beating their chests every day like an orange baboon. What is incredible is the constant carping in the press that WE DEMS think Joe is too old, WTF?? Let us disprove that lie to the world right now. He’s got more wits than most people half his age. Yes he stuttered even as a young senator, but so did Diogenes, so what? A brilliant public speaker anyway. ALL KOSSACKS ON DECK! Write to the White House at: Office of the President 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington DC 20500 Snail mail is best because Fed. regulations require them to tally and answer you, even if it’s a form letter. Also call and write at: www.whitehouse.gov Scroll down to send a text or a letter, or you can call (both is better). Let him know we care! Gooooo Joe! You’ve got the Mojo! 4 more in 24!! Remember this precious bit from Judy Woodruff on NPR as she repeatedly needled the Pres: ‘Don’t most Dems think you’re too old’? He replied: “Watch me. Just watch me.” [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/2/10/2152358/-Write-POTUS-and-ask-him-to-run-heck-with-ageism-in-the-Media-they-didn-t-poll-US Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
