First of all, I want to stipulate that I am not a fair-weather fan of President Biden.<\/p>\n

Yes, I read the polling data. I am acutely aware that his approval rating among American voters has slipped badly since about the time of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Inflation has harmed the president\u2019s standing. We cannot seem to shake the pandemic and we cannot declare our \u201cindependence\u201d from the disease, which Biden projected we could do by the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n

However, I voted for Joe Biden with as much enthusiasm as I have had for any presidential candidate for whom I have voted since 1972, when I cast my first vote for the leader of the Free World.<\/p>\n

The man\u2019s current difficulty will not force me to turn against him. I stand with him.<\/p>\n

We are on the verge of receiving a big legislative push if Congress gets around to approving the Build Back Better package that President Biden\u2019s team presented some months ago. Congress already has approved the infrastructure bill designed to repair our nation\u2019s roads, bridges, airports, seaports and Internet availability. That is no small deal, man.<\/p>\n

The economy is continuing to rebound from its pandemic low. Do I worry about inflation? Yes, I do! Am I a huge fan of Biden\u2019s decision to pull oil out of our Strategic Petroleum Reserve? Not really. I don\u2019t consider the SPR to be an inflation-fighting weapon; I consider it to be a safety net in the event of a severe shortage of fossil fuel. If the SPR flow helps stem the rising price of that fuel, then I suppose I can grit my teeth and back it.<\/p>\n

Biden is committed to fighting climate change, which is a welcome change from the previous administration\u2019s decision to turn its back on those efforts.<\/p>\n

My support of President Biden is unflinching even in the face of crises. We elect someone to handle these issues as they arise. He has assembled a competent team of political pros and assorted experts. I am going to stand with them as they grapple with these crises.<\/p>\n
