Reporter: Watching the trial?

Pres. Biden: "I am not ... I have a job ... We've already lost over 450,000 people. We're going to lose a whole lot more if we don’t act ... Children are going to bed hungry. A lot of families are food insecure. They're in trouble. That’s my job."

1. Thank you President Biden for focusing on the needs of our country

[Bleacher Creature]

2. Not sure it's even possible to have a more perfect response. NT

[Biophilic]

3. Love this man to pieces. nt

[NoMoreRepugs]

4. President Biden - UDAMAN!!!

[TexasLefty29]

5. Couldn't have been better said.

And no better man to put the actions behind the words. Save our country, Joe Biden. Help us see eye to eye again.

[SheltieLover]

6. Ty, President Biden!

[liberal N proud]

7. That man has so much compassion

It is pouring over, and it is fantastic!

[Aristus]

8. The Biden-Era definition of "Executive Time" :

Gettin' shit DONE!

[Vivienne235729]

9. I am so thankful he is our President.

[Irish_Dem]

10. A man who understands his oath, what his job is, and cares deeply about Americans.

God Bless you Joe.

[Solly Mack]

11. Exactly. Let the Senate do their thing and President Biden will do his thing.

That's how it works - a President works.

[Baclava]

12. Beautiful reply from a real man as Pres, not a preening prepubescent peacock like u know who

[ProfessorGAC]

13. It's The Right Answer, Too

The trial has NOTHING to do with Mr. Biden.
He wasn't even an elected official the last 4 years, he hasn't been a legislator in 12 years, and the outcome has zero effect on him.
He's right. Worrying about it is not his job.

[tblue37]

14. And he doesn't spend most of his day watching TV!

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Yeah, There's That, Too!

Maybe, like me, he's got Chopped on for background!

[MustLoveBeagles]

44. It's a nice change of pace

[cheezmaka]

50. nor playing GOLF...

[RexLipton]

15. Presidenting...

Like a BOSS!

[KS Toronado]

19. Welcome to DU!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. One of the things I love about President Biden's behavior is he sets a good example for our youth.

Behaving like a true public servant, a gentleman and patriot, and laser focused on his job.

What a contrast to the orange shitgibbon.

To Joe and Kamala....... ....... ......

[tblue37]

18. + a brazillion!

[Squinch]

20. I so love him.

[hibbing]

21. Love this n/t

[Mr. Ected]

22. I'm beginning to think that Trump didn't exactly do his job much of the time

In fact, I'm beginning to think that he was a poser, an imposter, a cheat, a charlatan, a grifter, a deceiver, a mountebank, a pretender, a fraud, a phony, a sham, a swindler, and lots of other things that my limited vocabulary couldn't begin to touch on.

*not meant to be a wholly accurate statement*

[Just_Vote_Dem]

23. He's amazing

Thanks for posting

[bdamomma]

24. We

have President Biden who takes his job seriously, and us seriously.

[ecstatic]

25. We have a REAL president now. Not a professional twitter troll / couch potato.

Hallelujah!!

[bluescribbler]

26. So good to have a real President again.

Hats off to Uncle Joe.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

27. Dear Dr. Jill, Please hug President Joe for me. Thank you.

[Upthevibe]

28. tblue37...

Thank you for this post.

My God -President Biden has been so spot on regarding having his finger on the pulse of the country. it's providing me comfort I haven't had in four years.....

[Cha]

29. Rt TY Pres Biden!

[Old Crow]

30. Damn, he's good.

Quite proud of President Biden lately.

[littlemissmartypants]

31. ❤ nt

[wendyb-NC]

32. He a real President.

I am so grateful he won the election.

[TwistedTinkerbelle]

33. And this why I sleep at night these days.

I know that man is on the job and all I hold near dear is going to be safe. It won't be perfect but I KNOW he's got our backs in the crazy chaos going on in this nation.

[Jarqui]

34. I've always liked Joe ... a lot.

So I'm a bit biased I guess.

But even then, I'm kind of pinching myself to wake up.

Because he is so darn good at what he is doing.

His priorities are right on.
He's focused.
No grandstanding.
He's executing a good, thought out plan.
His experiences have him pulling all the right levers of government to smoothly turn us onto the right course.

Just doing what is in his heart and in his mind.

Such a departure from the last four years.

I question whether any other American could have done what he's done since Jan 20th any better.

I'm so pleased. Happy for Joe, his family and the country.

[theneworiginal]

35. I liked him during the primaries. Didn't love him.

But gradually, he started looking like the right guy at the right time on the run up to the election. Then after he was elected, he looked like the Anti-Trump, the antidote for what this country and the world had been poisoned by. After he finally took the job, he took it by the horns, made every day and every move count. Did it with class, humanity and proficiency.

I don't just love the guy. I admire him.

Not too many people I can say that about.

[birdographer]

36. Not only is he a wonderful president

He knows how to sit in a chair. The last guy always looked like he was on the toilet.

[Old Terp]

37. Someone said he looks like he could have come from Central Casting

I think we all would agree that Trump always looked like a fat slob and his behavior was worse. I still cringe when I see the photo of him in a tux with Queen Elizabeth. Not only is Biden doing a great job governing, when people look at him, he just looks so good. You don't snicker at him. He will represent us well with our allies and will behave properly and not like a thug. I know our friends are going "Thank God".

[treestar]

54. I'm looking forward to his being greeted

by other world leaders. They looked relieved when they met President Obama and they will be even more relieved now.

[ClusterFreak]

38. Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of the United States of America...

FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN!!

[BobTheSubgenius]

39. I was happy to see Joe Biden's reasonable and measured campaign work out.

I had preferred other candidates, but obviously they dropped out. I was still completely fine with him winning the nomination, but now...I'm f'ing thrilled.

[Kitchari]

40. "I have a job" -

Perfect response, and more perfect because he included the COVID numbers

[tblue37]

41. Have you noticed how often his replies subtly cast shade on his predecessor? "I have a job"

reminds us that Trump had the same job but didn't do it, which is why we have these crises that he lists.

[Kitchari]

46. Exactly

It's the difference between a competent grownup and a whiney poseur

[Doreen]

42. Damn it, I almost spit out my icecream because I started laughing so hard.

[Blue Owl]

43. Goddamn!

Proud to be on Joe’s side...

[quakerboy]

45. Yup. This is the senates job. the president has other duties

Im still waiting for smoking guns. Anyone with common sense knows the president is guilty.. But we need republican votes. Id like to see money trails and see subpoenas of folks forced to give testimony.

[disndat]

47. I think it's safe to say

that Biden is better than even his biggest advocates thought he would be.

[Catherine Vincent]

48. That's what I'm talking about

He doesn't sit there and watch CNN or Fox most of the day like you know who. And you know Trumpers/Republicans will accuse the press of giving Biden softball set up questions.

[pandr32]

49. We did it, folks! We put him there, each and every one of us...

...all who made sure they voted for him, campaigned for him, worked phones for him, helped register voters, worked as poll workers, pressed local reps to count all votes, faced harassment, stood up for him, and helped make sure he would have a Democratic Congress.
We also put Kamala Harris into the office of V.P.

Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now let's keep it up, always, and never forget we could lose it all if we take our democracy for granted.

My hats off to you all and I love you all so much!

[cheezmaka]

51. Yes we did! It was worth it!

[pandr32]

53. It IS worth it!

[CTyankee]

52. Perfect! Carry on, Mr. President!
