Joe Biden is doing exactly what I would have hoped that he would be doing on his first foreign sojourn.
And the world leaders he is doing it with are quite happy with what he is doing.
I think "competence" might be the word they would offer if asked to typify a quality of the new president of the United States.
If forced to choose one word for Obama I believe they would have chosen the same word.
Even W probably would have gotten the same word applied, if not to him, at least to his entourage.
And that word would certainly stretch back across time at least to Woodrow Wilson - Teddy Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize even farther back.
I am just a person, citizen, reader of history and stater of opinions.
There are some in that cavalcade of presidents with whom I probably would have, or did have, or do have differences of opinion on foreign affairs and policy.
And that is the way life and the world work.
Decades of essentially competent administrations were able to build a durable America centric world order.
So it is mind boggling how much damage that fucking moron did in a mere four years.
And he just got away with it.
