Could it be that Biden is more interested in doing the right thing than in being liked?

That he isn't calculating everything in terms of having two terms?

1. Yes. And yet another reason why age and experience can be extremely advantageous...

Future ambitions no longer direct every intention or decision.

2. That's my impression of Joe!

At least at this point in his life.

[Irish_Dem]

3. He isn't running for election every minute of the day.

He is leading the country and doing what is best for others, not himself.

4. Yes, I think with Biden,

doing the right thing whenever possible is his top priority. FDR made many bold choices and didn't cave to the criticism - got him elected four times, so somebody must have liked him.

5. That has been his attitude for a long time, I believe even as Senator

More than once I’ve heard him say, some things are worth losing elections over. Joe doesn’t feel the need to prove himself that’s what the republicans and the press corps is getting wrong

[Bayard]

6. WHAT a great speech today!

I am so proud of our prez.

[honest.abe]

7. Biden has no fear and couldn't care less what the media says about him if he knows he right.

Its called Presidential.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Unlike Joe, Trump wanted to be LOVED rather than doing the RIGHT THING.

Joe knows that doing the RIGHT thing is going to piss off a lot of people, especially be they Republicans. I believe he cares less about being liked, while being respected for doing what he said he would do.
