President Barack Obama endorsed his Vice President Joe Biden for president this morning after Biden became the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee.
Axios has the highlights, including an emphasis on responses on H1N1 and Ebola:
“Choosing Joe to be my vice president was one of the best decisions I ever made, and he became a close friend. And I believe Joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now. He’s someone whose own life has taught him how to persevere; how to bounce back when you’ve been knocked down.”
“Joe helped me manage H1N1 and prevent the Ebola epidemic from becoming the type of pandemic we’re seeing now. He helped me restore America’s standing and leadership in the world on the other threats of our time, like nuclear proliferation and climate change. Joe has the character and the experience to guide us through one of our darkest times and heal us through a long recovery.”
“Each of our candidates were talented and decent, with a track record of accomplishment, smart ideas, and serious visions for the future. And that’s certainly true of the candidate who made it farther than any other – Bernie Sanders. Bernie’s an American original – a man who has devoted his life to giving voice to working people’s hopes, dreams, and frustrations. He and I haven’t always agreed on everything, but we’ve always shared a conviction that we have to make America a fairer, more just, more equitable society.”
“This crisis has reminded us that government matters. It’s reminded us that good government matters. That facts and science matter. That the rule of law matters. That having leaders who are informed, and honest, and seek to bring people together rather than drive them apart – those kind of leaders matter.”

He looks beaten. Clearly there is something wrong with him. I hear covid 19 can do that to someone suffering with HIV.
What’s that thing beside his nose. Looks like Pinkey’s brain is trying to escape. And what’s wrong with his ears? Looks like moochelle has been tyring to guide him up and down her play toy.
