I just watched our new president and vice president on TV, interviewed together for the first time since the election.<\/p>\n

My first\u00a0 reaction? What a remarkable change from what we have endured for the past four years!<\/p>\n

President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris spoke candidly, openly and thoroughly with CNN’s Jake Tapper, who I should add did not lob only softball questions<\/em> at them. They spoke clearly and cleanly about whether they would allow family members to stay involved in business interests that could conflict with their roles as president and VP; they both said “no.”<\/p>\n

And so … we are heading toward a return to the norms of the nation’s highest offices that Donald Trump has trashed.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to when President Biden and Vice President Harris take their oaths of office.<\/p>\n

I no longer want to see public policy dished out via Twitter; Biden says it won’t happen. Nor do I want to see the president bullying and pressuring the attorney general to investigate so-and-so for such-and-such; Biden says that won’t happen, either. I yearn for a return to this nation as a world leader among the nations of the world; Biden and Harris said the United States will restore our alliances.<\/p>\n

I want the president and vice president to lead our fight against the COVID pandemic by demonstrating they, too, will wear masks and practice social distancing. President-elect Biden said he will issue a direct order as president that anyone doing business in federal buildings will be wearing masks and staying apart from each other; moreover, he pledged tonight to ask all Americans to mask up for the first 100 days of the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

Biden believes nationwide mask-wearing will help reduce the rate of infection, illness and death. If he wants us to wear a mask, then I am going to do as he asks.<\/p>\n

Yes, the nation is about to leave the age of chaos and confusion on the side of the road. I like what I heard tonight from the new team.<\/p>\n\n
