Biden may be struggling at home right now but he’s a big improvement over the former guy. The media may not be able to see it but the rest of the world does.
Here are some excerpts of his UN speech today. He didn’t say “little rocket man” even once or brag about how he has done more for the US and the world than anyone in history. Nor was he laughed at …
President Biden at the UN: “US military power must be our tool of last resort, not our first. And it should not be used as an answer to every problem we see around the world.”
Biden: “We are not seeking — I’ll say it again — we are not seeking a new Cold War, or a world divided into rigid blocks.”
Biden: “As we pursue diplomacy across the board, the United States will champion the democratic values that go to the very heart of who we are as a nation and people — freedom, equality, opportunity, and a belief in the universal rights of all people.”
Biden at the UN: “I am not agnostic about the future we want for the world. The future will belong to those who embrace human dignity, not trample it. The future will belong to those who unleash the potential of the people, not those who stifle it.”
Biden closes his UN speech with this and gets big applause: "I stand here today for the first time in 20 years with the US not at war. We have turned the page … Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot afford to waste any more time. Let's get to work. Let's make our better future now."
