A Haiku from my best friend in high school

Working and leading with the truth
President Biden
A real president
Willing and wanting to work
Leading with the truth

Yes put Amanda up there with Greata, David and Emma, and Malala, for youth who grew up talking politics and have changed the world. Thank the Bidens for changing hearts and minds already.
