And that’s how it should be. In the face of a hostile Republican Party and Manchinema Joe went and got her done to the tune of being a transformative President. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Biden turned out to be a better President than did Obama…something I surely wouldn’t have predicted back in 2008. Effing Obama the Great Disappointment, I always say.

There's no real pressure on Biden to announce, since he seems to already have frozen all other Democrats out of the running.

He's cleared the field! He's cleared the field!

This is no small moment of celebration for this Biden fan. I guess being POTUS has its advantages, eh? :-)

And, let that be a lesson not to miss any more of our little shindigs, okay?

Sorry I missed yesterday’s Motown review but, I enjoyed all the background info to go along with some hot platters. Here’s my two cents, what I would have brought to the party: Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler). Marvin Gaye Slave. The Temptations Ball of Confusion. The Temptations, again. Don’t get me going. Celebrate. Rare Earth (indeed, a rare white band in the Motown stable)

No matter what Biden says tomorrow night, memories fade and it is doubtful that much of anything which has taken place up until now is going to be any sort of deciding factor by the end of next year -- the public will have all sorts of other things that are fresher in the collective memory by then. I think that’s conventional wisdom with which I disagree. And the midterms support me: recall that enough voters remembered the J6 (and ongoing) threat to our Republic along with Dobbs threat to our reproductive rights…to keep the Senate and — in the face of voter restrictions and Gerrymandering — almost keep the House in Dem hands. This time Dems did a lot better with messaging than did Obama, admittedly a low bar. That’s why the Repugs narrowly talking House, while regrettable, has enormous upside. Let the crazies do their thing and roll into 2024 contrasting all the cray-cray with popular and successful legislation under the Dems. If I was Hakeem I’d regularly publicize Dem’s carefully crafted legislation that addresses real problems. Act as though they retained the House and show what Murica missed out on because they didn’t. To be clear , I do not mean Dear Elizabeth’s “I have a plan for that du jour” from the primaries, I’m thinking less frequently than that combined with a well crafted information campaign in support of their ideas. The idea is to keep using the nut jobs against the nut job party.
