Two weeks into the presidency of Joe Biden, and already the nation is in a discernable cooling off period after four years of daily pot-stirring by the former tweeter-in-chief. There has been a collective exhale with a return to normalcy.
- Daily press briefings by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki hearken to the fictional West Wing's C.J. Cregge, with honest answers, wit, and humor.
- Biden's nominees for high office, many of them already sworn in now, are a collection of experienced experts in their fields.
- In his White House meeting with ten US Senators this week concerning the COVID-19 relief package, President Biden participated cordially, and respectfully stood his ground on the size and scope of the bill.
- In a sweeping number of executive actions, President Biden has attempted to restore humanity to the power of government to affect the lives of the vulnerable.
After 10 p.m. Eastern time last night, President and Dr. Biden visited the Capitol to pay respects to Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, killed in the line of duty during the January 6 attempted coup d'état. There were no speeches, no exchanges with reporters, no tweets. Just the President and First Lady, saluting and giving the signs of their own Roman Catholic faith, in respect and humility.
Refreshing, indeed.
