Obama:"More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they're doing," Obama said. "A lot of them arent even pretending to be in charge."
"So much of your generation has woken up to the fact that the status quo needs fixing; that the old ways of doing things don't work ... That our society and democracy only works when we think not just about ourselves, but about each other."

Leads by example. Pres. Obama is a real LEADER, he inspires us to be better than we are now. Oppose that to the chump in chief we have now.... inspires the worst in us. smh I'm so tired of these rightwing assholes and their petty little dictator and seeing and hearing this from a man who epitomizes the words Leader, Class and Inspiration has lifted my spirits.

Joe Biden is made from the same mettle, the same spirit.
