Respect Biden immensely and feel good about his term. But you gotta have better approval ratings. Silent Type Jan 2025 #19

The debate was lethal mr715 Jan 2025 #86

Which probably explains why he didn't do many interviews or press conferences. Self Esteem Jan 2025 #88

Yeah, but lack of transparency is problematic mr715 Jan 2025 #92
