Bill Penzey's FB tribute to Joe, who joins past presidents to teach us how to say goodbye. [View all]
...Joe Biden. Wonderful, Amazing, Historic, Joe Biden. If you ever have a spare five minutes and forty-seven seconds, go to YouTube and search: “One Last Time Hamilton White House.” It’s always been a great watch but now it feels nothing short of predictive.
This is the moment Washington tells the nation and the world that presidents truly are not kings, and that by saying goodbye when the time comes we teach America what it is we are so that America lives on after we are gone. There’s a moment in the video where it’s pretty clear Joe wipes away a tear. Rarely is history in the making so musical.
Not since George Washington has anyone done what Joe Biden is now doing. Not giving up, not resigning through weakness, but sacrificing the world’s greatest position of power simply because it’s the right thing to do.
President Biden has gifted all of us the greatest of gifts... Teaching us how to say goodbye. Showing us strength. Reminding us what is best in ourselves.
You are an amazing man, Joe Biden. When the time comes, rest well in Victory.
You’ve taught us well,
Bill
