I admire the leadership and boldness of President Biden. This opinion writer shares the same view.

I think it’s a good exercise to return to your past predictions and analyses and take stock of what you got right and what you got wrong. In my case, looking back at what I wrote during the Democratic presidential primaries, I got one big thing wrong.
Joe Biden.
In 2019, I wrote that “the possibility of defeating Trump without defeating Trumpism looms over Joe Biden’s possible run for the 2020 Democratic nomination.” That a campaign centered on Biden’s appeal to white, blue-collar workers was a campaign that would recapitulate the conceit of “Make America Great Again” under the guise of rejecting it. And I worried, throughout the campaign, that Biden was simply not inclined to make the changes and force the confrontations necessary to de-Trumpify the government, much less push the country away from its austerity mind-set.
Looking at Biden’s nominations, appointments and executive actions thus far — looking at the size and scope of the relief bill and the extent to which he outright ignored Republican demands to make it smaller and less generous — it turns out I was wrong! I greatly underestimated Biden’s inclination and ability to do these things.
It is clear that Biden sees the presidency not as a capstone to a long career, but as a final opportunity to make his mark on the country, and he intends to do so. If these first 50 days are a sign of what’s to come, then his mark will be a much greater one than I could have ever anticipated.
Even for DOGS, they cannot talk. They instinctively know if they are loved by waiting at the door when you return with their tail wagging and rubbing against your legs. Most people are like dogs. You cannot fool them. They know if they are loved. Or is it just a job for them? The reason why most only listen to a few speakers at the top nowadays. Most speakers are there to waste their time. And that is the truth. Even their faces are a turn-off without listening to their voices.
