Setting Proper President

We're going to turn today's pages over to President Biden.  In his eulogy of former President Jimmy Carter yesterday, he made a long, eloquent statement on behalf of character and decency, and how they are both protections against hate and deterrents against abuse of power.  And all of this said with Trump sitting almost directly in front of him.  Notable, too, is how the cameras cut to a seemingly uncomfortable Trump at appropriate moments.

Given how indicative President Biden's words were about Jimmy Carter, it's difficult to know for certain how  much they were intended to accurate describe him, and how much to make pointed observations about Trump, perhaps in hope of the message getting through (improbable that they would) or just to draw the contrast.  It's not unreasonable to think there was some of both.

I won't post the entire eulogy, but it's this 2-1/2 minute passage that is especially so wonderful, even if it was all meant just to focus on who Jimmy Carter was, as a shining example for all.  That there could be an additional meaning is just frosting on the cake.
