So Biden served the first Black President for eight years. Hired the first Black and South Asian Vice President. And appointed the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.
Say what you will about the man, but its pretty damn remarkable.

He's appointing women and POC to high government positions. He understands the changes we need to make and is doing what he is able to help us get there.

Thank you, President Biden!

(15,539 posts)because he was so well-liked and able to relate to the black community. Well now he's been unseated in that title, both literally (by President Obama) and figuratively (by President Biden).
I do believe that President Clinton had a town or street or something named after him in Africa though.

(5,897 posts)So the VP doesn't work for the President...it's a small pet peeve when I hear someone say the President is the VP's "boss".

(17,195 posts)... by implying that the VP is the President's employee. John Garner did that quite sufficiently when he characterized the post as "not worth a bucket of warm piss."

(82,849 posts)Listen to right wing tools discount it (denying the prize), and act as petty and immature as possible to try to turn the taste of victory into ashes.

(483 posts)Imagine if Obama nominated the black nominees that Biden did. The far right, tea party, and racists would have so much more ammunition to go against a black president nominating qualified black candidates. Oh he's hiring own! they would cry. Very thankful for Biden and for him doing what he's doing.

(47,430 posts)He can do things that Obama couldn't because of the political implications. They jumped all over Obama for every little thing. That combined with the constant obstruction, it is amazing he was able to accomplish anything.
