Why subscribe? Note the kind words of Jay, a new paid subscriber: "I want to be as well-informed as possible while still maintaining a grip on my sanity. I believe you help that effort. Thanks.” Snapshot: Joe Biden Reminds Us What Love of Country Really MeansAmerica's president gave a heartfelt and historic speech about what's at stake, one that will be long read and rememberedPresident Joe Biden made me proud to be an American tonight. He reminded me what it means to be an American, no matter whether you are an everyday citizen or hold the highest office in the land. This speech from the Oval Office was about his decision to end his candidacy for president and “pass the torch to a new generation” as “the best way to unite our nation.” But it was much more: This was his profound articulation of what’s at stake that supersedes his personal ambition. He began with these words that will be read and remembered long after we are all gone: “I revere this office, but I love my country more. It’s been the honor of my life to serve as your president. But in the defense of democracy, which is at stake, I think it’s more important than any title.” Then he described the “inflection point” facing our country and the decision at hand: “On those rare moments in history, when the decisions we make now determine our fate of our nation and the world for decades to come, America is going to have to choose between moving forward or backward, between hope and hate, between unity and division.” He went on:
Toward the end of his remarks, the president got specific about the woman he has endorsed for president:
And he concluded with a compelling—indeed, emotionally stirring—reminder of both what it means to be American and the danger that we face if a majority of Americans fail to heed this moment:
Here, kings and dictators do not rule…History is in your hands. In the days ahead, the spotlight will continue to focus intensely on the campaign ahead. There will be much to say—and much to do. But on this night, a grateful nation should savor the good fortune of having a man like Joe Biden behind the Resolute desk—a man who has given us all a lesson in the meaning of sacrifice and patriotism. |
