You can count me as one ardent supporter of President Biden who is still waiting for him to deliver on his multi-pronged pledge to repair the national soul, unify the United States of America and enact legislation that will deal with the existential threats to our great country.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re almost a year into Joe Biden\u2019s term as president. I want him to succeed.<\/p>\n

Do I blame him singularly for the problems that seem woven into our national fabric? No. I want to lay most of the blame on the obstructionists in Congress who won\u2019t work with the president, who continue to block every initiative that comes from the White House simply because they can.<\/p>\n

Too many Republicans appear wedded to the notion that the 2020 election was stolen from their guy. It wasn\u2019t. Yet they won\u2019t let it go. They refuse to accept the truth of the result: 81 million Americans voted for Joe Biden, granting him 306 Electoral College votes. It wasn\u2019t a smashing triumph, but it was decisive enough for there to be no doubt as to the outcome.<\/p>\n

The pandemic has flared yet again. It has hampered Biden\u2019s agenda. It has cast a pall over damn near everything. I cannot possibly blame the president for that, either.<\/p>\n

The next year is as unpredictable as the first year has been. I don\u2019t know what the future holds. We have a midterm election coming up. Republicans say they are poised to take control of Congress. What happens if that occurs? Will there be more revenge in store? I sincerely hope not.<\/p>\n

Then again, we\u2019re dealing with a party controlled by an individual who cannot concede defeat.<\/p>\n
