Joe Biden’s first term faces the greatest challenges any American President has faced before. Biden’s biggest problem is probably the pandemic killing thousands of Americans every day. The second may be the economy wrecked by the pandemic. Third may be the Trump’s lies to millions of gullible Americans and how to get them to understand the truth. Fourth could be the overwhelming National Debt and ways to start reducing it. Fifth is the income difference in America. Sixth is the structural and social racism in America. Seventh is our law enforcement and criminal persecution laws and practices. Eighth is to undo the damage Trump has done to our Government, society, culture, and environment. Ninth is to move his nominees and agenda through the Senate while they manage the impeachment process in the Senate. Tenth, of course, is the former President’s continued “Scorched Earth” damage through his lies and leadership of radical right’s white racists and fascist groups.

            When Lincoln took office he had a divided country, Wilson had the Spanish Flu, FDR came in during the Depression, and LBJ had unrest. Biden’s first day means he has to battle all the crises of four Presidents at once. An old saying is “the right man at the right time” may never have had a more appropriate person to manage these huge challenges facing us at this time.
