Biden has excellence and experience to lead in 2024

Why don’t hospitals go to a fast-food restaurant and hire the kid sweeping the floor to be the hospital’s next heart surgeon? One answer is that the hospital wants a surgeon with a great resume and a good record of past experience in heart surgery.

But when it comes to electing our president, we seem to want someone who has no governmental or political experience. In other words, we seem to prefer someone with no resume or experience in the field for which we are hiring him or her. This approach surely will not work in hiring a heart surgeon and is naive in electing a president.

It can be argued that our current president has the best resume and longest related work experience of any president we have had in the last 60 years. So maybe Joe Biden is the best president of our lifetimes.

For some reason, it is really hard to objectively evaluate and recognize a president’s resume and experience. For those who have concerns of Biden’s misspeaking or stumbling, remember Stephen Hawking could not speak or walk but had an exceptionally brilliant mind. President Franklin Roosevelt got us successfully through World War II from a wheelchair. What we need is a president with an excellent mind and rational and realistic plans and ideas. As president for the last two plus years Joe Biden has proved he has these qualities. He also has the resume and experience to be reelected in 2024.
